Of all your takes, this isn't your worst one. I've been wondering what the point of the current UN structure is more and more over the years...

You are legally allowed to have someone help you vote when incapacitated. There are guidelines, but basically you just tell them what box to check for you.

It should be noted that he found out over a year ago and announced his diagnosis after Brett Favre went public. In addition, he has around 2-10 years left with the outlook leaning towards shorter than longer. This is a routine reminder that there are likely many older NFL players with serious health issues.

His family released a statement saying it was pancreatic cancer. He died a day before his 71st birthday.

At least the universe is attempting to counter Dame Smith...

RIP. Sad day.

Tom Brokaw

He's a pretty well known person in the USA...unless you are young or under a rock.

October 3rd

Rules: *Aired in the context of this pool, means TV/Streaming* A. You must pick 3 cast members for submission, with 2 subs. - If a cast member + sub dies before game start, I will allow a replacement B. Any person selected must have a IMDB or English Wikipedia page created by the time of game start. C. Any TV Show selected must have at least 10 half-hour episodes or 5 full hour episodes created from start to finish (that aired*). D. Franchise TV Show's will be considered separate. For example, Star Trek TNG vs D9. E. The cast of your show must have at least 5 living verified members by your submission. - If a cast member dies before game start, knowingly or not, thus bringing the number below 5. An exception will be made. F. Whoever's picks die first, wins! G. The cast member selected must appear in at least two separate episodes in the show (that aired*)! H. A plan for a tie-breaker is in place, it involves the overall age of the 3 cast members selected. Whoever has the youngest average age, wins. I. You MUST submit your team/show via PM, otherwise your submission is not counted J. If 2 people submit the same trio of names, but for different shows, I will honor the first person who submits it - The other person will be required to use their sub, but I will allow them to choose who to swap out. K. A QO will be very lax this game, I'll accept nearly anything. L. All shows used in the previous round are out of bounds (though could be reintroduced in the subsequent round). Winning shows will go into the Hall of Fame and are out of bounds in perpetuity. A show is not out of bounds if two or more players selected it in the previous round, thus eliminating it from said round. Genres of shows not allowed: Sports, Infomercials, or News Shows. My Twist! As this website has brought some of the most informed deadpoolers around, I want to make it a bit harder. If any user picks a show, which is then picked by another, that show is eliminated from the game. Essentially this means you take a risk in submission, as any show you pick could be scrapped if someone else is likeminded. It also means it would be wise to have a back-up! Do you take a risk in picking a popular show, thinking others will be scared? Do you pick something unique knowing you have no competition on it?

Update: 1. @tracy had a sub die with James Earl Jones on Sept. 9th 2. @CalebH had a sub die with Janet Andrewartha on July 26th 3. Kenneth Cope died on Sept. 11th giving both @gcreptile and @RoverAndOut a hit. 4. David Graham died on Sept. 20th giving @gcreptile a second hit. 5. @ladyfiona gets their second hit with Ysanne Churchman on July 4th We now have 3 winning possibilities! 1. Arthur White b. 1933 and the TV Show, "The Darling Buds of May" (Handrejka) 2. Tom Baker b.1934 and the TV Show, "Doctor Who" (ladyfiona) 3. Virginia McKenna b.1931 and the TV Show "BBC Sunday Night Theater" (gcreptile)

Love this 'movie'. Seeing it in color makes it 10x better. Not sure what they used for all the joints, but the smoke never seems to be the same color.

Does he really not have a Wiki page? Plenty of people with smaller resumes do...

I disagree. DvD doesn't strike me as the type to bow out willingly. Given his recent frail appearance at an award ceremony a week ago... Could be nothing, but I'm starting to think he might be a hit before J. Carter or N. Chomsky. ((Jinx?))

Not a fan of the new singer. They should have just made a new band similar to Nirvana's situation.

I hesitate to comment on things like this since I've been wrong in the past. That being said, while he wasn't as strong as his debate in July, I thought it was a pretty typical Trump appearance. I didn't notice anything particularly interesting, especially compared to Joe Biden in July.

RIP. Great actor who excelled in any role.

I would disagree. His position on Marijuana, as with most things, is not so easily defined.

(Wiki) Kathy Bates announces her retirement from acting. She frames it as wanting to enjoy her hard earned wealth/time left, but I'd keep an eye on her. The full interview/announcement is NYT paywalled.

Made an appearance at the 2024 Creative Arts Emmy Awards on September 7th, which is referenced in this article. A video inside the article shows him answering questions from reporters. He mentions that he is still looking for work, but I would note that he sounds/looks a bit frailer than recent appearances. Speaks a bit on his life and what he wants to be remembered for.

(Wiki) Walt Ehmer, the President and CEO of Waffle House since 2012, died today at age 58 from a "long illness". Rumors say it was pancreatic cancer.

Worthy sequel?

100%. It's amusing reading this thread from the beginning. Many thoughts and hopes that did not come to fruition.

https://www.tmz.com/2024/09/05/rich-homie-quan-dead/ TMZ has it. RIP.

A lot of social media rumors that American rapper Rich Homie Quan has died at 34. Reportedly from an OD. Well known in the US. Especially in colleges/bars, has some popular songs.
