And the revelation that it was a heart attack does make me think this is the cause.

She was my joker before the deterioration in Gary Burgess' health was made public, but I'm also surprised she didn't make the Drop 40 - and by some distance.

America might have Talent, but it doesn't have T-cells. Nightbirde's tearjerking run on Simon Cowell's annual death-of-entertainmentthon placed her firmly on the longlists of top-tier deadpoolers, but only four thought she'd get the final golden buzzer in the month of February. MariNisia goes ahead in their tie on average age, Famous6Eva breaks the deadlock in theirs, HDS adds some daylight in his encounter and Annami refuses to let Hell out of the woodshed. LizLemon 0 v.

Sandra Runnells, Dusty Rhodes' first wife and Dustin's mother, currently hospitalised with "prayer" requests on Twitter.

Ah not front of camera, but a lot of the vision he had for pop culture is what is the dominant form of it in the UK now. London-based, aspirational working class, urban, advertiser-friendly, not too edgy but with some vague trappings of left-wing politics. Whenever you see AJ Tracey eating at a Black Lives Matter branded pop-up Nandos sponsored by Boxfresh and Checkatrade, it's from Jamal Edwards' vision.

Although having said that, I'm hearing (completely off the record) that he might have been a bit too into the old showbiz powder.
-
More likely suicide tbh, he'd done documentaries about "the mental health crisis in young British males" before.

Love or hate the guy's output, you could argue few people have had a bigger influence on British popular culture over the past decade. Absolutely no age at all.

He's already fed up with the traffic in heaven and has put in a transfer request to purgatory.

Talk about cult heroes, feel like he was mentioned in every other page of 90 Minutes magazine back in the mid-90s.

From the name, I assumed "Candy Bomber" Gail Halvorsen was a roller derby icon, but apparently it was some brer who gave chocolate bars to German children after WW2. Don't they know we're in an obesity epidemic? His passing sees Pop_Zeus put YoungWillz in the rearview and Predictor break the deadlock against Great Uncle Bulgaria. LizLemon 0 v.

While we wait the VAR decision on Halvorsen, two points of order: I think 72 hours before everyone else is a sensible window for the gamerunner to submit his team, unless there's any objections. For drawn matches, should I draw lots to see who'll go through in advance so people who've lost on heads/tails don't end up submitting teams they didn't need to?

Sandy Nelson was a prominent session drummer who had a few solo instrumental hits as well, most notably "Teen Beat" and "Let There Be Drums." He was also a former bandmate of both Kim Fowley and Phil Spector, so he really could pick them. Anyway, it's kismet for Nelson, and Salmon Mousse becomes the first person this tournament to break the 20-point barrier. LizLemon 0 v. Masterffull 0 Sir Cunto 6 v. theoldlady 0 Salmon Mousse 20 v.

Reading up on one of the all-time great one-hit wonders, I discovered that while DJ Sven went on to be a successful radio host, MC Miker G became a drug addict and was homeless for several years. He looks like this now:

Damn, he's running out of time to finish that book he started writing 20 years ago that required him to download all the cheese pizza.

On January 26, Sandhya Mukherjee refused the Padma Shree, India's fourth-highest honour, as she said her seven-decade-long career in the music industry deserved a more prestigious award. The following day she fell over in the bathroom, broke her femur and developed COVID-19, two conditions that interlaced nicely with her lung infections, hypotension, ischemic heart disease and desaturation. There may be a lesson here in being grateful for what you're given, but Mukherjee's passing honours four active players: SirCunto and Salmon Mousse increase their leads, while An Fear Baeg and BabyBlue continue to slug it out. AFB has the third-highest score in the round, and yet still looks on the precipice of elimination - while as it stands, five people who have scored 0 points will be making their way into Round 2.

Looks like "El Gato" has finally finished with his nueve vidas. Eduardo Romero was one of the greats of Argentine golf, who broke out of the Southern American tour to achieve success in Europe and two top-10 major placings. He moved into politics after retirement, and his recent announcement regarding stepping back from civic duties put him on Salmon Mousse's radar, and leaves MortalCaso swimming upstream. Elsewhere, purists may scoff at the picking of centenarians with no recent health updates, but try telling Pop_Zeus that. He breaks the deadlock against YoungWillz thanks to the passing of Cuban-American abstract artist Carmen Herrera aged 106, and I've just realised the last four hits have all been Spanish speakers.

Two El Mundo obits in a row, and it looks like An Fear Baeg won't be putting Baby in the corner this round. Antoni Vadell Ferrer was the auxiliary bishop of Barcelona, whatever that entails, and while his battle with pancreatic cancer wouldn't have meant much for pools with more stringent QO requirements, he was gravy for the DL Cup. BabyBlue cashes in their joker, hits 15 points and looks like causing the upset of the round. LizLemon 0 v. Masterffull 0 Sir Cunto 3 v. theoldlady 0 Salmon Mousse 9 v.

Groundbreaking trans [anything] + relatively young age + the fact Veneno is on HBO Max worldwide + Latin Americans being a great source of clicks meant I was always confident she'd come through. If she was, say, German I'd have been more reticent.

And here's your super soaraway with the QO.

Striped Converse presumably?

And as El Mundo counts as a QO source for the cup, we don't need to wait for any English-language translations. Isabel Torres played legendary Spanish trans singer La Veneno ("The Poison") on TV, but there's no antidote to stage 4 lung cancer. Eight teams are celebrating Torres getting on the scoresheet like this was Anfield in 08 - however four of them (BabyBlue/An Fear Baeg and Salmon Mousse/MortalCaso) cancel each other out. TQR and Grim Up North increase their respective leads to six points, HDS cashes in their joker to overtake Pedro67, and Annami has moved into clear squonk territory against Hell. LizLemon 0 v.
