Death Impends

I had Helen Legh

Unfortunately, Richards died on the 15th, thus before John Paul Stevens. Forgot to enter for the round, so taking care of that right now... 1920 - Jim Leavelle, Franca Valeri 1921 - Sidney Rittenberg, Francoise Gilot 1922 - George Blake, Micheline Presle 1923 - Sumner Redstone, Rhonda Fleming 1924 - Gene Deitch, Maria Riva 1925 - Mahathir Mohamad, June Lockhart 1926 - Phil Phillips, Ann Turner Cook 1927 - Harry Whittington, Gina Lollobrigida 1928 - Hans Kung, Queen Ratna of Nepal 1929 - Gaston Glock, Vera Miles

Judgment day has come for Justice John Paul Stevens. The US Supreme Court has ruled in an unanimous 9-0 decision that it is constitutional to give Clorox Bleachman 25 points for the first death from his substitutes bench.

Randomly voted for Tony Britton.

Apparently Savuka means "we have risen". Eight teams have risen now that Johnny Clegg has gone over The Crossing. 35 points for FixedBusiness. 30 for msc, drol, and Chorizo. Interestingly, all of drol's surviving main team also now have a current value of 30. 25 for Rad and Clorox. 25 sub points for Book. And 20 points for John Key. And so with that we have a new scoreboard. msc claws back the lead off the deaths of Arte Johnson and Johnny Clegg. 1. msc 232 2. theoldlady 195 3. drol 192.5 4. Sir Creep 186 5.

The White Zulu blacking out causes 7 teams, all no higher than mid table as is, to fall further. Would Juluka the new scoreboard? 1. drol 1 =2. Bibliogryphon 4 =2. CaptainChorizo 4 4.

Our long national GUN Away nightmare is over?

Joey, Clorox, Rad, paddyfool, Banana, and I all got Clegg right. Thread closed.

Never mind not being celebrities, a lot of those names wouldn't have gotten any obit coverage of note had they died at 80 rather than 110+. Some like Sarosy didn't even get much coverage with supercentenarian status. Zhou Youguang I think would have still gotten a good deal of coverage if he died in his 80s due to his development of Pinyin, but he's an exception rather than the rule.

Her legs remind me a bit of that one picture of Sri Sri near the end of his life where his feet were super bloated. Granted, she doesn't look nearly as poorly as Sri Sri did in his final few years, but very very few people look that bad.

I really should've went for him after all those "sorry to hear McCririck is very ill" tweets. I think the fact he responded to a few of the well wishes threw me off.

With 5 teams picking him, John McCririck's death brings about a few possible dark horses in the race to the top. YorkshireBanker wins the most out of this hit by getting his second sub hit and picking up 50 points. The Unknown Man and The Mad Hatter each get 25. This is also the first hit for TUM. the_engineer and Sean each get 15.

The 19 teams who didn't see John McCririck as a dead cert for the year ended up walking straight into a booby trap. drol remains in the lead, but still a ways to go until the finish line... 1. drol 1 =2. Bibliogryphon 4 =2. CaptainChorizo 4 4. Phantom of the Midway 10 =5. markb4 12 =5. Mercarte 12 7. Sir Creep 14 =8. BuffaloPhil 15 =8. gcreptile 15 =8. machotrouts 15 =8. paddyfool 15 =12.

Going to vote Clegg till he goes, though I don't think this vigil will be as long as my Wouk one

Well done to En Passant, Arsewipe, and ebless. Thread closed.
