Death Impends

Conway isn't on the front page DL.

Never would've guessed out of the class of 1923 that the still-hale Kerr would've died before corpse lookalikes like Redstone, Zeffirelli, and Dole. Crazy.

Sorry for your loss, Willz.

Had anyone picked him this year, he would've QO'd via the "moment of applause before the game starts, QO source mentions it in a liveblog" path.

Vincent Lambert due to have treatment stopped this week.

I always felt like if Pei was born in 1907 and Niemeyer was born in 1917, Pei would be a DL hit and Niemeyer not. Pei blows a lot of those mid-aughts DL centenarian hits out of the water famewise (Clement Stone, Charles Lane, Stanley Kunitz) yet the committee has gotten a lot stubborner with centenarian debutants since then.

At a glance, here's who looks to be left for everyone: Sean: Gibson, McCain Joey: Douglas, McCain, de Havilland Biblio: Cameron, Cleary, Lovelock, Spencer, Mercier, Nakasone Rockhopper: Frankland (also no DoD for Tezuka, but I suspect he’s died years before the game started) Reptile: Karkoc, Shapiro Cow: Douglas Handy: Lloyd Time: Ash, McCain, V Smith drol: Pahor, Simonot, Guy, Gibson, Lovelock DI: Thimmakka Youwanticewiththat: Douglas, de Havilland, Lynn, Cleary, Persoff Toast: Ferlinghetti, Hunt, Lloyd, Persoff JiroemonKimura: Douglas, Singh Unknown Man: de Havilland, Nakasone, Douglas, Lloyd, Singh Chorizo: V Smith, Douglas, Oristano Book: Douglas, Delair Predictor: von Arbin, Hannas, Drougge, Soderbaum, Alnevik, Arviddson ImNotHades: Lloyd, de Havilland, Douglas, Lynn Deathray: Tompson WednesdayAddams: K Johnson, Champion, Cleary, Lloyd Sawbux: Gwynne Jones, Coppola, Ferencz FixedBusiness: Douglas, Coppola, de Havilland, Lloyd Kirk Douglas, Norman Lloyd, Ruthie Tompson, and Saalumarada Thimmakka could all finish the game.

Don't Stop the Carnival of hits, and hits, and hits... as Herman Wouk shifts from War to Remembrance, how long Caine the Reaper's hot streak continue? Exu the big winner of this hit with 50 points. 25 for CaptainChorizo, markb4, and Prophet. 20 for RadGuy. and 25 sub points for FixedBusiness.

Better QOs will come, but Mail AP for starters: https://www.dailymail.co.uk/wires/ap/article-7041929/Caine-Mutiny-Winds-War-author-Herman-Wouk-died.html

Finally, vindication for voting Wouk poll after poll after poll... Bibliogryphon gets two right in a row. Congrats as well to Drewsky, DeathClock, ThereWillBeDeaths, nejmoq, mollyafox, and CastAway. Thread closed.

So much for changing my team name to Grumpy Cat Survives...

Always did assume whenever this thread got bumped it surely meant Pei was dead.
