Tuber Mirum

Very kind and clever of you but how will we know that "newdeathlister" is actually, say, "the artist formally known as Banshees Scream"? Not perhaps the best example. The originality of the posts that are BS, would be easy to identify. Fine, but how will we know who the new person used to be. We will know that because the person will have asked in this thread for the name change. Interestingly enough though, searching for Milwall's old posts, his original name is still to be seen on the early ones, whilst Mr. Josco now has a capital letter right from the start of history. I daresay there's a rational explanation for that. Who else thinks Banshees(sic) should get given the missing apostrophe whether he wants it or not?

Rich as hell but obviously morally utterly bankrupt. I blame the parents. He must have inherited a good bit of those 60m from his dad who wasn't exactly down to his last pair of sneakers whenn he popped off.

Not to mention all that money he makes as a "motivational speaker"

Reminds one of Nichelle Nichols of Star Trek fame. They said the same about her some years previously. One presumes she isn't dead yet though?

Thank you, thank you, thank you. One does what one can.

We all seem very pleased to have Amanda as our newest member. Since she sometimes wants to talk about things for which there is no appropriate thread on the Deathlist, I have created this one for that very purpose. Also, as she doesn't seem to have an Avatar yet, perhaps this would be a good place to post suggestions. (Please keep them clean Mr. Josco)

It's more likely that posts whose topics consist only of whining about other members are going to give a poor impression of the forum. There is a lot of it about at the minute. Let's all show some humour, pull together and save the vitriol for the ranters. Mr Gunjaman has set an excellent example in the Osmond thread. BTW, this is my thread. It wasn't death-related back then when I started it and it doesn't have to be now. So there. That said, longer exchanges which may not be of universal interest could work more effectively using live chat.

I think a more interesting question is -where does the money go?- Perhaps it goes towards the cost of the forum software and the web hosting. And if there's any left after that there are the not inconsiderable expenses incurred at the time when each year's list is drawn up. Not to mention the kebab and the taxi home.

You'd need pretty long arms to shoot yourself in the head with one of those mothers.

It is perfectly simple. A man is driving along the road at night. Suddenly he sees a little bald green and white man by the roadside frantically flailing his arms in distress. The driver stops beside the little man and rolls down the window. Visibly relieved, the little man comes over and sticks his bald head through the open window. "D'you want to buy a wardrobe?" Hope that helps.

On consideration, I realise it's because VSB's avatar and his previous one both remind me of rugby players. The present one is the bad-guy pirate from Cap'n Pugwash isn't it?

I don't know, how would you attatch a music file thing from iTunes into an email?

You may disagree StarCrossed, but I thought this picture from a previous thread was rather stylish. Would it work as an avatar do you think? Thanks for the idea, my tricephalic canine friend. It would certainly save me opening up Photoshop and making my own It's a shame it's not more death-oriented, though...... Swords are death related if you think about it for a bit. And two swords do remind us of potential DL candidate Michael Jackson who popped into Madame Two-swords the other day for some spare parts. I always thought "fromH" stood for "From Hull". Dunno why.

He is standing up already. He just hasn't got his cowboy boots on.

Brilliant! There is only one Arbroath joke and here it is: Man: Can I come in tae see yer grunny? Other man: Naw, she's at Arbroath. First man again: Ach weel, I'll come back when she's finished.

The Notsensibles took a different view of the Iron Lady.

Nae bad min, hingin' oan. Ken?

Bugger, those are most of my regular lotto numbers. Bugger, bugger, bastard.

Fa's 'at manny onywye?

That's her on the left. Would you?

Or breeding.

I disagree Janeo. People like our esteemed guest need and deserve a place where they can display their inability to understand a plain argument. Mr/Ms. Guest, let me use simple language to disabuse you of a few notions. 1. Because someone has died, they don't automatically deserve respect. You said as much yourself. That isn't the same thing as promoting wholesale disrespect for the dead. You are putting words into our mouths. How cheap and how pathetic. 2. Most of us are respectful towards the dead. If they deserve it. Nobody has yet said anything bad about Ronnie Barker except for one guest who met him in person so should know what he means. 3. The personal pronoun "I" is spelt with a capital letter. Always. 4. A man is not a potato.

That blue burning skull in the title reminds me a bit of Typhoid Harry's (former) avatar, too.

George W. Bush is sitting in the Oval Office, and in saunters Dick Cheney. Dick: Hey George, three Brazillian soldiers were killed in Eye-raq today. George: Gee, that's kinda bad isn't it? Dick: Yeah, Kinda. George: (Goes back to examining his Buster Annual) (Pause) Hey Dick, I guess those soldiers gettin' killed is just the way the cookie crumbles, right Dick? Dick: Yeah, I guess so George. George: (Goes back to his book) (Pause) Hey Dick? Dick: Yeah George? George: Remind me again, exactly how many millions is a brazillion?

Here's a crazy motion. Why not search 'clay pigeon shooting' on google and find an actual clay pigeon shooting site? Sounds like a good Idea in principle, but I tried it, and given the dearth of useful information on the web, asking us wasn't such a bad idea actually. What sort of coffee do you drink Amanda? There is nothing worse for your guts than bad coffee.
