Ten thousand spoons when all you need is a knife. Actually, swap knife for "a fucking fork" and that sums up my kitchen half the time. No idea where they fuck off to. Anyhow, I digress.

C'mon Mastodon. You've got to get into the HOF before having the stereotypical big man wrestler's heart failure exit.

Shame, Woof! was great. Look at the title of this thread, Joey, and the joke might come to you!

Just beaten to it by YWillz but yep, it counts. Although I've only just learned that Game Developer stopped in 2013. I remember brushing it aside to nab copies of Gamesmaster. Anyhow, farewell Bernie, who I am told was the top dog in his particular field. Lots of sad geeks today. You were related to Sir Creep, yet he picks up point on you. He's likely about to present Gcreptile with a big Game Over screen, however. Also scoring, but a Bernie Bro or cousin (or so I presume) is Death Impends, who is now in a 1 point game with 5 days left. Death Impends vs Heef 9-10 Gcreptile vs Sir Creep 6-14 Joey Russ vs Grim Up North 6-6 Phantom of the Midway vs The Dead Cow 10-13 Sean vs Charon 0-0 Roverandout vs DDT 0-6 Captain Chorizo vs Young Willz 0-4 msc vs Deadsox 6-7 Hosts note - I picked the wrong month to drop De Koven! Deadsox will be cheering that foolishness.

And as that's the online version of the former Game Developer magazine (remember that?), it counts for the Cup too. Good spot.

He was on my Not the List of the Missed theme team in 2017. Survived, of course.

When the one person (that notable) has around ten different hospitalisations relating to their health, it's maybe time for that person to have their own thread, and all that information collated in the one place.

Website about a festival, not a news source.

Certain Deathlist candidate if he lives long enough for contention.

BBC world news article on post September 11th cancers, name checks 3 dead firemen (related to it) from this month. No idea if they're on the DDP ala Ray Pfeifer.

Apparently her producer was cracking jokes in her earpiece about the "bees" sound of the recording, having not twigged she'd moved onto an obit.

He might have! But I'm glad Phil is doing better too at the same time.

I've only seen my ex once in about 14 years. Far better that way.

Sorry to hear two of our own are having relationship breakdowns at the same time. (It's not with each other, I presume?)

Still waiting for De Koven news (crucial to Death Impends but likely to be a KO to Mr Creptile), but here's an obit for Bishop Lafoya, from an 150 year old broadsheet newspaper no less! Now you know! So that's points for Gcreptile, though Sir Creep has "points in hand" to come. And Dead Cow takes the lead again on Rad. 23 points between them in that game, none between Sean and Charon. It's a funny old game. Death Impends vs Heef 6-10 Gcreptile vs Sir Creep 6-11 Joey Russ vs Grim Up North 6-6 Phantom of the Midway vs The Dead Cow 10-13 Sean vs Charon 0-0 Roverandout vs DDT 0-6 Captain Chorizo vs Young Willz 0-4 msc vs Deadsox 6-7

I'd expect QO for both before too long.

Irish character actresses appear to get snubbed by the obit media here. I recall the same for Ronnie Masterson.

I've a feeling that the death of Zell Miller has put me above the fearful Gerard Tierney, however briefly. And it's not just an illusion (carrying on the TOTP82 theme?) for I have seen the leaderboard! My first ever unique pick in the Alt Obits, and it was a fluke. Still looking for that first ever DDP unique hit. Joey 76 Alt Obits Guy 71 msc 66 Terminator Tierney 63 Drol 56 deadsox 45 -- gcreptile 27 Toast 26 Wormfarmer 15 Death Impends 10

One of my mums favourite books as a kid. She kept trying to get me to read it as a wean. Never read it. In fact, you've now become only the second person I've ever seen mention it!

"We're just talking techniques. I say it's best to just get it over with quickly. Your husbands dead, and he's not coming back! Get used to it!" "Ah yes, but sometimes a few little hints help, like, remember how your husband used to love a good laugh?" I swear, sometimes it feels like 20 odd years of watching Father Ted was the perfect intro to any debate on this site.

I refer you all to my late grandad. "There's people dying today that have never died before!" Nods.

Will admit I heard the news, went to the forum and was able to think "blimey, someone actually beat Willz to the news" for about 3 seconds before the thread loaded.

Four statements in that post and at least three of them are wrong.

Knew I should have plumped for Real to avoid that.
