Because it’s enjoyable my good man—no real response needed other than that. I’m having a jolly time bantering with you so nothing personal here. Everything I have said on this site was said in a cheeky mood.

I am apparently Baron von Pretentious if Mr. Babble is to be believed. Also, have we no shame arguing in the Hon. Jimmy Carter’s lair? We should make much haste to take this up like gentlemen in an off-topic forum. But no, I do not get my kicks cosplaying as old batty conservative women like Iain did. I will not entertain myself with such trifle. Plus my spelling and grammar is exemplary unlike his commoner drivel.

This question shall be answered in climatic fashion the day President Carter dies, the one thing I shall confirm is that I have nothing to do with anyone banned like that dastardly Ian creature who is worse than that ghastly man Farage who has unfortunately grown in political prominence recently. Even if I am not mymango specifically, we might possibly become collaborators in the DM before the fat lady sings tonight.

I shall make this my quote, much appreciation to Mr. Bubble for making people on this website feel welcomed and accepted. You should be proud of yourself. And believe it or not, I am not trying to necessarily sound intelligent, I am trying to sound like a British bloke or I shall be chased off for being a bloody Yankee. It is my way to assimilate into the glorious culture you have here. You Brits are known for being whimsical and speaking with an upscale panache and I am just trying to emulate it because as I have noted before in my comments of yore, I am an anglophile. I feel towards British people what the average housewife feels towards true crime.

My good man Mr. Mango, you posted this in a different thread. Until the day where I gain extrasensory perception, it is quite unlikely of me to have realized that, goodness gracious though that I did not. That being said, I do appreciate your determinedness to keep the members of the DeathList updated on Mr. Carter and I feel that the court of public opinion shall vindicate you in due time. Keep continuing to give your insights and your perspective and ignore all of the goofy dames and gentlemen that give you such a difficult time.

I have some intriguing news for all of my morbid friends at the DeathList. In all of the excitement when it comes to the former president celebrating his centenary, it appears that there has been quite the update on his youngest son Jeff Carter. The DailyMail recently reported that People Magazine revealed that Jeff has Parkinson's Disease, which has since been confirmed by Jeff's son Josh. Jimmy Carter's youngest son Jeff, 72, reveals he's been living with Parkinson's disease | Daily Mail Online Will Jimmy Carter outlive his children? This question will keep the mymango fellow up at night for weeks to come..stay tuned when the answer is revealed in goodness knows how long from now at this rate. My personal belief is that Jimmy Carter will end up living long enough so they have the technology to put his head in a jar like that charming show Futurama did for the age-old celebrities it featured.

Back to the ol' drawing board until this time around in 2025, I shall not give up until one of my annual ideas to use the DeathList to inspire and motivate people is approved by the masses on this forum and fully implemented. The DeathList as I have always said should keep its morbid reputation intact because it is all in jolly good fun to count up the celebrity deaths year after year, but it could be such a force of change if we put our heads together and worked to promote a human-focused message. Also, your poem was delightfully devilish. One of the reasons why I am absolutely enthralled by this website and the people on it is that everyone speaks their minds so assuredly. This motivates me even more greatly to try harder and convert you to my side like Henry Fonda did with the jurors in "12 Angry Men" so congratulations for this backfiring on you. Ta-ta for now.

I am back for the third time from the other side of the ocean to provide another excellent suggestion to you jolly blokes on a way the DeathList could provide a public service to all while encouraging a cheeky sense of mischief and also increase our relevance within society. Since all of the unfortunate curmudgeons voted down the LifeList and expanding our presence on social media with energetic videos, my inspired suggestion this year is to have an old-fashioned morality-focused list that we can use to teach the youth -- the Deadly Habits List. This idea, I am firmly confident the honorable TQR, the distinguished Perhaps, and the dubious Jimmy Carter mango fellow among others will endorse. We would get a URL specifically for the young rapscallions, maybe kids.deathlist.net, and we would have a list of 50 alliterative names representative of terrible habits that stick right in their minds like a wad of bubble gum. We would include a charming poem similar to the ones at the beginning of those whimsical Berenstain Bears books explaining what these chaps are doing wrong and how they can stop those habits so they can live long and prosper. Every year, we will "redeem" 25 archetypes on the list and switch them up. If we get big enough, we could also have theatrical performers act out some of the woeful wrongdoings to charming narration--hopefully supplied by the Paul Bearer guy. Just to show an example of the concept, #12 would be Glutton Greg. The poem would be under the entry like so Greg likes to eat from morning to night/Any grub in the kitchen, he's game for a bite/Why every hour he's having a feast/But look at poor Greg, he's simply obese He has trouble with doors and sitting at tables/After walking a block, his legs get unstable/He gets laughed at in class, the kids are so mean/It's easy to shun him, his body's obscene. Now friends let me tell you, this isn't your fate/Don't be like Greg and let food compensate/Be mindful of eating if you want to stay fit/Portion your food and wait just a bit It is my hope once the wonderful parents see our work for the children through the Deadly Habits List, some of my other suggestions would become more plateable as these parents become a lovely part of our forum. We will also be able to show the Derby Dead Pool that we have heart and we will win the optics war against them.

That is terrible yet hilarious at the same time.

I'm glad you ask, you distinguished fellow. The DeathList can truly make a monumental impact by allowing us to find inspiration and courage from different iconic celebrities. We can come together to wish them well through different health crises that they may have. In addition, it allows us to stop needless discord by reflecting on our own mortality and making important changes in our lives. We could turn ourselves into the morbid version of Jezebel or HelloGiggles, staying true to our mission while making people reflect. Also, as a patriotic American who is also a self-admitted Anglophile, the DeathList can be a place where our different cultures interact and our membership realizes our commonalities. You Brits are indubitably cultured and intellectual, and I think there is a lot that we can learn from that while also teaching you all the more relaxed and laissez-faire way we live. I can basically be the cultural version of Jane Hartley while you all could be the selfsame version of Dame Karen Pierce. I appreciate how much Mr. Cooley stans the gays, this is truly appreciated and validating. One way I believe the DeathList could reiterate the message is by having a thread for all of the LGBTQIA2SABCD+++ community DeathListers to be able to gather together and plan ways to ensure the deadpool community knows we are not standing down. Plus the Grim Reaper logo needs to become rainbow colored and sing Barbra Streisand classics if you click on it during Pride Month. Representatives of the DeathList could also walk in British Pride Parades wearing rainbow merchandise to show how they care.

We as in people who read my post who would be interested in this idea, I am one person, thank you very much. Someone who truly believes in the vision and potential of the DeathList and wants to spread positivity and merriment. I want this site to inspire people and be a force for change in the world, as well as a joyfully good time.

Good evening all you ghouls and gals, I am not here to give my yearly social engagement suggestion yet. Instead, I am wondering how exactly we will celebrate the 20th birthday of this thread in March. It is my belief that we should pull the absolutely most audacious rants and highlight them in a special thread to celebrate the occasion. We also should have a competition to determine which one of you cheeky lot is the best at wittily responding to the uncouth simpletons who grace this thread. The 20th anniversary thread will be similar to the "This is Your Life" show with that Michael Aspel fellow with a voting twist except about the irate visitors and our gloriously snarky regulars instead of one person. It would be an absolutely marvelous way to unify and lightheartedly look back on how the DeathList has stood strong, no matter what challenges this site has had to face in the past. Who is with me in wanting to make the 20th anniversary of the irate visitors thread a magical moment for the ages?

I took the time to read this magnificently satirical post and will sum it up for you majestic lot because you all are overwhelmed by its wordiness. TL:DR: My esteemed friend Mr. Doc believes Mr. Carter will undergo an experimental treatment that will put his mind into a peanut plant. He will live at his peanut farm and it will become a tourist destination. Scientists will find a way to translate his thoughts and he will become a political analyst on CNN.

I have come to this thread to offer the dissenting opinion not to lock it because you curmudgeonly Brits offer the most off beat responses to the shenanigans that take place. I for one feel it is jolly good fun and believe we should all just take the insider info with a grain of salt. That being said, Mr. Carter is a national treasure and I hope he gets rejuvenated like Grandpa Joe did in Willy Wonka and starts contributing to public life again in the lead up to his 100th birthday. We need to gather as the DeathList and also bring the Derby Death Pool folks together too to wish him good tidings and positive vibes.

The wonderful gentleman who recently acted with Dick van Dyke on "Days of Our Lives," Bill Hayes, is now dead at 98. Interestingly enough, the first thing I thought of when he died was not his soap opera work but the fact that he was mentioned in this thread. I knew in that moment that I had to update the British blokes on the DeathList about this. As far as I know, Mr. van Dyke is still alive, thank goodness.

I have come back to tell all you fantastic people from across the Atlantic not to pick Johnny Mathis. I just went to one of his concerts in Rosemont and he is still very active and energetic on the stage, although a bit senile when he isn’t singing (such as needing to read certain monologues out of a book or outright repeating them when he did it impromptu). Sounds like something right out of his albums with that magical voice even now though and he truly enjoyed what he was doing on stage and how enthusiastic the audience was. He also keeps active because he mentioned he played golf with basically everyone he shouted out. He will survive 2024, if he doesn't I will leave the DeathList out of abject shame and embarrassment.

If this doesn't go over well here, I might have to reach out to the Derby Dead Pool and then they will get all the attention from having a TikTok and YouTube channel while the DeathList will only have hits on the forum when people actually die. I offered it to the DeathList first because you all secretly are my favorites.

I am back to provide some other excellent suggestions, because I believe that the DeathList could truly expand their reach if they embraced social media more. The DeathList should consider having a TikTok where the most influential person on the site (maybe the Paul Bearer guy who I think is the admin) provides celebrity health updates to some trendy dance music in the background and releases a weekly summary of what's popular on the forums. Watch LawyerLimor on TikTok and basically film your videos exactly like her and you will get some new blood and buzz on your website--especially from the younger generations that don't normally check out old-school forums. Also, the DeathList should consider having a YouTube page where you do some stunts inspired by the celebrities on the list like how Mr. Beast is always doing bombastic events. Like maybe you could donate 1,000 copies of Mary Poppins to the poor to honor Dick Van Dyke or you could cause some wacky shenanigans in Cambodia to pay tribute to the illustrious statesman Henry Kissinger. I will release another idea on revamping the DeathList this time in 2024 to continue the conversation on transitioning the site to provide a charitable and lifestyle perspective in the future, until then ta ta you magnificent blokes.

This isn't a rant, but just a idea that I had that some of the more curmudgeonly users will think is quite idiotic but I definitely think that will spread love and positivity around. Basically, next year of course we should keep the DeathList going because it's a classic website and a way to get my morbid fascination out. But we should also consider creating the LifeList, a list of the 50 celebrities most likely to survive the year, with only 25 being reused from the previous year. The criteria for inclusion would be that they got mentioned in at least one article in a major British media source the previous year. In each entry, there would be a short blurb mentioning what transferable healthy habits they have that any individual person could use to increase their own lifespan. If someone on the LifeList does pass away, there will be significant reflection on what went wrong and how you can learn from what happened to them. So in short, this would be an opportunity to increase the committee's (whose name will change to the Live and Let Die Committee to acknowledge the new endeavor) success rate, will allow the visitors the opportunity to empower themselves by changing their lives, and will introduce inspirational celebrities who we can all learn something from. I personally think it's a no-brainer. Plus maybe the Derby people will be inspired to create the Derby Life Pool out of this initiative so everyday people can also talk about celebrities who have motivated them in their exercise and health improvement journey.
