Death Impends

There's an ice skating theme team on the DDP and he's on it. So another to watch for the DDP pile pending QO.

My Mervin Shiner unique gets coverage from a Nashville music magazine. He only had a death notice beforehand - https://musicrow.com/2023/10/peter-cottontail-singer-merv-shiner-dies-at-age-102/

The only episode of South Park I've ever seen was one with giant guinea pigs (IRL ones, not the usual paper cutout style). If there's ever been a more quintessential DI sentence I don't know what is

Ann Clark Terry (born April 28 1922) charted in the US as far back as 1945 as a member of the vocal group The Sentimentalists. As obscure as Shiner, but there's a Facebook fan page for her group that acknowledged her centenary so she at least can go in the definitely living pile.

Shiner was also the oldest living artist to mark the US pop charts, hitting the top ten in 1950 with a children's novelty song about the Easter Bunny (sometimes the description says it all). Now Ray Anthony is the oldest.

BBC has it and Everton themselves

When that article first appeared the ca.news link DID go to an article, and I tried uk-ifying it back then. Didn't work though.

It is basically the kind of line the DL front page would fart out if a judge is a DL hit but if you consider it vintage wit I ain't complaining

Speaker Maude Apatow, mark my words.

@diego The two accounts mentioned in this post

Both accounts banned.

Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn, Harold Pinter, Mother Teresa, and John Nash were also Nobel DL hits. And Yasser Arafat was picked on the DL as well (though died a non-hit).

When I Need You ("you" being a doctor)

If he's dead, was last picked on the DDP in 2015.

Yes, any picks who died the previous year but aren't uncovered until after we're up and running get added to the LotL.

She developed an entirely new class of antibiotics, apparently the first in decades, and got relevant accolades for that unrelated to her illness. She'd have qualified.

Not thinking every citizen of a country or territory should die, innocents included, because of gobshite terrorist groups =/= justifying mass murder.

Getting the update taken care of now. First off is impressionist and light entertainment steward Mike Yarwood. It doesn't seem he was on Celebrity Squares itself, despite having sketches on his own shows that parodied it, but he did at least do panto. He was a unique for Pedro67 worth 45 points (25 base + 20 bonus). Dick Clark criscrossed the corn fields of Iowa to win one term in the US Senate back in the 70s, which he did inbetween popularizing rock and roll, hosting the Times Square New Year's ball drop, and looking phenomenally youthful for his age until suffering a stroke. YorkshireBanker was a one-man band(stand) in selecting him and now I-owe-a haul of 35 points (25 base + 10 bonus) to him. Longtime don of Italian politics Giorgio Napolitano found himself on cinque teams this go-around: 25 points for Clarence, diego, and The Unknown Man, 15 for Charles De Gaulle, and 25 sub points for drol. Stage veteran Michael Gambon seemed at the outset one of the easier drops for the DeathList to make - one of several "easy drops" like Crosby and Berlusconi that buggered it up by dying anyway. One upshot, though, is he was one of the twelve highest-ranked survivors of DL2022, which meant he was on Joey Russ's 2023 HPDP team. He gains 21 points (15 base + 6 bonus). ALS-stricken NHL executive Chris Snow has fallen, blanketing two teams with a rich field of points: Famous6Eva was the only team to have him on their main squad, rocketing up by 70 points (50 base + 20 bonus), while CaptainChorizo benched him and gains 25 sub points. The next scoreboard only shuffles by minor bits and bobs, though Pedro67 does sneak tantalizingly narrowly behind the podium: 1. gcreptile 567.95 2. Perhaps 442.95 3. An Fear Beag 422.95 4.

A dead paedo and I don't have to waste any energy writing about him is a win win situation. Just look at how little time I spent on the Barry Bennell obit!

Narrow Republican House might not have been the best result legislatively but it absolutely has been the funniest result.

Will update soon. Mike Yarwood, Dick Clark, Giorgio Napolitano, Michael Gambon, Chris Snow... think that's it for the September hits?
