Death Impends

Sure to be my shitpost-iest DDP obit since Napoleon XIV. Coincidentally they were the last two survivors of the Battle of Waterloo.

Possible that one of your IPs overlapped with one of our banned IPs? No record of any bannings on your account.

A cursory Google tells me he had notability in South Africa horse racing circles as a trainer and was interviewed by a South African horse racing website a decade before his daughter's murder. The newsworthiness of the Pistorius case might've been enough even without that, but yeah, I'll add him to LotM.

Wink Martindale and Bob Eubanks, who I namechecked in the obit, are also alive. But no "famous solely for hosting game shows" types actively hosting a game show once Sajak steps down, it's the age of famous actors/comedians/etc becoming game show hosts now.

The latter (one sub dies is 25 points, the second sub dies is an additional 50 points) is how subs score.

If so, last picked on DDP in 2016.

Not a very eventful past month, with only the trio mentioned above, and Henry Dickerson, scoring as far as I can see. No Parky or Al-Fayed. Banana really needed Henry Dickerson, his last surviving differential from Reptile, to deliver for him, though it probably still wouldn't be enough to close the gap. It definitely won't be given Dickerson's resume as a basketball player and coach. Ergo he is docked 8 points (40 base - 48 bonus). Vaguely interesting tidbit is that August in the DDP and August in the HPDP covered a completely different nonagenarian Spanish cyclist. The DDP cadaver was Federico Bahamontes, while UCI Track Cycling World Champion Guillermo Timoner was the one chosen here. He also worked as a carpenter, and MariNisia was his lady in the HPDP, inching out of the peloton through a 35-point boost (25 base + 10 bonus). Senator/presidential advisor/judge James L. Buckley was one of the very few individuals in US history to serve in all three branches of US government. He adds to that lifetime of public services a hit for markb4 worth 35 points (25 base + 10 unique). Lastly, the only multi-hit name this update was Bob Barker. Seven teams come on down for the Price is Right host who also appeared on Hollywood Squares: An Fear Beag wins 72 points, (45 base + 27 bonus), Murdoc 64 (40 base + 24 bonus), Great Uncle Bulgaria 56 (35 base + 21 bonus), chilean way, Clarence, and TheDumbReaper 40 (25 base + 15 bonus) and markb4 lands his second sub for 50 points. Latest scoreboard is below. The biggest change is An Fear Beag taking the bronze, all the while still having eight survivors to work with in these final four months. 1. gcreptile 567.95 2.
