    Chances of getting an obituary in an English national newspaper are approximately 0.00001%, but never forget his contribution to cinema history: "] Cancer's back. Current media landscape I give him 4/10 chance of getting an QO.

    Watching some Richard Pryor over the weekend, thought I'd check in to see how long-term "he's gotta be dead soon" candidate Paul Mooney was doing. Not great. He's on the left btw.

    Jerry Heller dead at 75. Still think Straight Outta Compton the movie did him dirty, some of the irl stories about him hiring former Mossad agents to try and kill Suge Kngiht are hilarious.

    It's always borderline with journalists because she would have got an obituary had she been hit by a car as she worked for the BBC, but she wasn't exaxctly Kim Kardashian.

    Bill Macy surely a hoax, would be a walk-in Daily Mail obit if he had gone due to his role in Maude.

    I'm assuming he has the equivalent fame that Geoff Shreeves has in the UK then?

    Ideas And Possibilities For 2017

    Not going to come anywhere close to a DDP QO, but good low-hanging fruit for other dead pools: Nancy Hunter, ranked 103rd in the world when it comes to female professional rodeo, has pancreatic cancer.

    Boxing Clever?

    Comments in this Facebook thread seem to imply Errol Christie is currently hospitalised and has been for some time.

    But then it's always the same debate in sport: most "great" footballers of the 50s and 60s would get shown up by today's West Brom side, but if they were given the training/nutritional/tactical advantage of a modern day player they would exceed yr Messi/CR7/Alfonso Alves levels.

    I'll go back to the darts metaphor rather than the tennis one because I'm so goddamn working class, but the Van Gerwen/Taylor analogy is the one that rings truest when comparing me to DDT. The level of darts Van Gerwen has been playing over the past three years is easily the finest darts ever played, but Taylor is still the greatest player of all time at the moment. He's also a convicted sex offender, I think I might have mentioned that somewhere before. If The Living End had the media landscape we have today (where the Daily Mail have opened up the obituary doors to infinitely more US and Australian picks, as well as the Mirror helping out on the cancer mum front) or the additional social media research opportunities, they would have hit bigger scores during the late 2000s/early 2010s.

    Best Historic Dl Forum Threads

    Says msc elsewhere: So can we find anyone in history who did die on their birthday, the 13th of a month, unnaturally and under the age of 30? Best I've found so far is someone who meets three of those requirements, former Pittsburgh Pirates pitcher Bob Moose, who died in a car crash on his 29th birthday.

    Looking at the list of people who died in 1878 who people could have, if they weren't thinking, assumed were still alive and ancient in the late 1990s.... was it Anna Sewell?
