Death Impends

Linda Tripp, whistleblower of the Clinton-Lewinsky affair, near death - https://nypost.com/2020/04/08/linda-tripp-whistleblower-in-lewinsky-scandal-near-death/

I think Trump would win pretty easy if the economy was still stable. He's too "normalized" now and Biden is a pretty limp candidate. If corona continues to wreck things though its a bonafide toss up.

Points galore for Bibliogryphon, he must be dreaming... He stood alone in expecting Honor Blackman to get the boot this year, and thus her death delivers a gale of 35 base points plus 28 bonus points for combined uniqueness and pantomime bonuses. 63 points in all has him off the mark with style. The next scoreboard sees a few teams clawing upward, but the tightness at the summit remains unchanged: 1. maryportfuncity 217 2. RadGuy 214 3. YorkshireBanker 179 =4. Book 174 =4. drol 174 6.

Well done to Gooseberry Crumble and Kenny McCormick for correctly guessing Honor Blackman. Thread closed.

Ah it's quite simple really. Post something you use your sock for, and you probably want to use your sock account for a bit as well...

Forrest Compton QO.

Gomer Pyle actor Forrest Compton dies of coronavirus aged 94. If he QOs, that's the second DDP coronavirus hit.

Here's the health bit of the article for those who can't access it. Had a few bad months mid last year, but okayish for now:

It's yet another warning for Deathray now. I'd be a bit more lenient if it was just typical spam, but now-hidden posts linking to porn is an automatic no-go.

Hollywood actress-turned-journalist Patricia Bosworth has died of coronavirus, aged 86. She wrote biographies of Montgomery Clift, Diane Arbus, Marlon Brando, and Jane Fonda.

TBF centenarians are always dying, it's really the fact that a lot of the recent departees (Douglas, Perez de Cuellar, Frankland, Katherine Johnson, Baby Peggy, etc) are forum heavyweights which makes this recent exodus feel far bigger.

Chaturvedi has already died as well. And Hilda Clulow.

Sad loss.

From Fleming assistant to pioneering allergist, Dr. William Frankland led quite the remarkable 108 years. Though Frankland dodged multiple close brushes with death (such as while a WWII POW), in the end it was old, old age that forced the Grim Reaper to get over his allergies and knock the doc out. Pedro67 was alone in picking Frankland on the main team, and his total is nothing to sneeze at: 45 base points plus 18 unique ones for a total of 63. Additionally, Clorox Bleachman had Frankland on the subs bench and is prescribed 25 points.
