Ralph Emery, "the dean of country music DJs" and a Country Music Hall of Fame inductee, dead at 88. Was married to Skeeter Davis for a while, close friends with Marty Robbins and Tex Ritter and was the subject of the Byrds' song "Drug Store Truck Drivin' Man" ("this one's for you Ralph").

Armenians age like milk.

Deborah James was rushed into intensive care last week and "nearly died." Definitely looking like a 2022 point-winner.

Seven days left to get your applications in...

A protegee of MC Ren. Surely this will finish him off?

Latest Sunny news: she's been arrested for terrorist threats.

So Durst and Bogdanoff II wouldn't have been top 50?

My terrible chat-up line to my missus of eight years now was a Ronnie Spector reference, so definitely pouring one out here.

Shebby Singh, Malaysian footballer of the 1980s, dead at 61. Normally wouldn't post someone as insignificant as that, but he had a second arc of fame when he became "global advisor" to Venky's during their slapstick takeover of Blackburn Rovers a decade ago. Too many highlights to post, but let's go with Shebby's disastrous appearance on "606".

American Indian Movement founder Clyde Bellecourt, aka Nee-gon-we-way-we-dun, dead at 85. Picked in a few pools here and there over the past few years.

When you finally get Tor working again.

Well, looks like I'll be playing in handicapped "no searching for people who went into hospice on the 31st at 11:30pm" format.

Or I could just not play, that might be easier actually.

47 names so far. We will also need someone to serve as an attendant to my picks, which I will have to send to them a week before the deadline so there's no question of me having cheated.

Tribute to "Col-tee" from 90 Day Fiance tbh.
