Death Impends

Died 5 years ago actually.

The relative unscathedness of the Stones was one of those welcome musical miracles. But mortality creeps on us all. RIP

Forgot that I had Everly here. Now all I need to win is for Connie Francis to go on a permanent V-A-C-A-T-I-O-N, Brenda Lee to turn into Sweet Nothins, Frankie Avalon to head to Venus, and Paul Anka to die of embarrassment after remembering he did "You're Having My Baby." Foolproof plan

Going by his post in the Dead Pop Stars thread, SC might be confusing the Everly Brothers with the Righteous Brothers?

Great harmonies and a great legacy of groups influenced by the Everly Bros. A sad loss. Now it's a scramble to wonder who the oldest living celeb with a living parent is. Possibly Chuck Norris, whose mother turned 100 earlier this year.

Weird paradox where her ill health granted her an extra 11 years of life!

Doesn't explicitly mention Clarke by name but assumed to be him given the mention of an 105-year-old prisoner dying.

Ex NZ Deputy PM Sir Michael Cullen now culled. CaptainChorizo gains 40 points, msc 35, and drol 30.

Also Alan Burgess and Sinclair Hood can both be removed from LotL due to subsequent QOs.

Lester Wolff (surprisingly given the Mail's US politico love these days!)

Gerd Muller a hit for five teams. 35 points for CalebH, 20 for JoeMoneypenny, 15 for sheldondinkleberg, and 25 sub points for Eesti and the Old Crem. CalebH and sheldondinkleberg are both off the mark (after CalebH previously struggled with Rodion GA's failure to QO).

Der Bomber ist tot, and Bayerns to a crisp the aspirations of 11 teams. With four and a half months to go, Book and Sir Creep remain scratchless. But for how long? =1. Book 0 =1. Sir Creep 0 =3.

Salmon Mousse takes the lead with Gerd Muller's death...

Barbara Allbutt died July 10 - https://www.legacy.com/us/obituaries/azcentral/name/barbara-brown-obituary?pid=199478378 Stan Lark died August 4 - https://www.boxwellbrothers.com/obituary/stanley-roy-lark/#.YRhmy98pCUk

Walker Boone, successor to Lou Albano as the animated voice of Mario, died back in January aged 76. All four actors who portrayed Mario or Luigi in the 80s/90s cartoons are now dead (Albano and Boone for Mario, Danny Wells and Tony Rosato for Luigi).

1921 - Al Jaffee, Francoise Gilot 1922 - Ray Anthony, Jacqueline White 1923 - David Oreck, Judith Hemmendinger 1924 - Wally Fawkes, Joyce Randolph 1925 - Bill Hayes, Sue Thompson 1926 - Robert Clary, Betty Lynn 1927 - Harry Whittington, Gina Lollobrigida 1928 - CW McCall, Queen Ratna of Nepal 1929 - Gaston Glock, Vera Miles 1930 - Jasper Johns, Faith Ringgold

Ferlinghetti, Lawrence Kumar, Dilip Limbaugh, Rush Ward, Mary Zoll, Rachel all are hits for me in addition to the names already marked as hits on the first page Zoll in particular should give me a respectable finish as a unique Z-surname hit

Jane Withers a hit for Annami - https://uk.sports.yahoo.com/news/jane-withers-dies-former-child-204258293.html 1921 - Al Jaffee, Francoise Gilot 1922 - Ray Anthony, Jacqueline White 1923 - David Oreck, Judith Hemmendinger 1924 - Wally Fawkes, Joyce Randolph 1925 - Bill Hayes, Sue Thompson 1926 - Robert Clary, Betty Lynn 1927 - Harry Whittington, Gina Lollobrigida 1928 - CW McCall, Queen Ratna of Nepal 1929 - Gaston Glock, Vera Miles 1930 - Jasper Johns, Faith Ringgold

Yeah could really only have seen King plausibly being picked by the committee. The forum loved Cleary/Lloyd/Kumar but if the committee felt similar they would've debuted years ago. And Menem needed the committee to be in a "shoot for a high score" year mood, which they weren't.

Hadn't even hit me I was so high up on the career points totals! Brill work! (and not just because it means a little less work for me come 2022... )

Belinda Sykes seems to have shades of folkie in her oeuvre?

Yep, now at a point where Bob Dole becomes a big kingmaker for the DDP

The whole Chris Chan thing was pretty obviously born out of people on the lower rungs of society hyperfixating on someone at the very lowest rung to feel better about themselves. A dedicated Wiki for such an individual is more depressing than fascinating. Chris Chan is still an awful individual as well, but there's no real good side in all this.

Well done, Reptile! Thanks for hosting as well Joey. Well, I was too "deadpooled out" to enter a team, so I definitely understand that running it was quite draining. Still a great pool to follow even from a bystander perspective, so certainly hope to see it live on.
