As someone who was on my dreadful 2013 DDP team, you can imagine my shock that he was actually able to die.

That's a family tree of shit genes.

Yeah, I saw that and thought: "bet I can beat him". Apparently, the answer is no I couldn't, because I completely misread the fame requirements for it! Tierny must play the DDP, I assume. Anyhow, I'm beating Death Impends, so I like to think I'm the morale victor.

Incidentally, is Cancerous Hatred on the Alt Obituaries Deadpool our very own @JiroemonKimura? If so, they've opened up a 61 point lead in it, with 4 months to go.

School holidays were late June to late August up here when I was at school.

So, ITV adapted a whole bunch of Marple novels last decade. They're generally shit, but it got me thinking about Deathlist stuff. Namely, A Pocketful of Rye (not see it, not read the book yet, ITV probably changed the killer though) was first broadcast in September 2009. Wendy Richard was in it, so a posthumous appearance, which isn't unusual. Large swathes of actors die between filming and the thing appearing in cinema or TV - Tim Pigot-Smith might win a BAFTA next year for it. However, her - Wendy's - husband in this Marple's played by Ken Campbell, who himself had died in 2008. So, can anyone think of any TV or film with 2 or more posthumous appearances in it at time of first broadcast? Must be several, but my brain isn't working this early in the century.

Hits for year if added rest of year to current total 2016 (14), 2015 (12), 2014 (12), 2013 (13), 2012 (12), 2011 (10), 2010 (14), 2009 (14), 2008 (11), 2007 (10), 2006 (14), 2005 (12), 2004 (12), 2003 (14), etc. It'd require unprecedented hittage in the last third of the year to break the record. Although, take precedent out of it. How many of the current list are known to be frail or very ill? 12-14. So, yes, the record can be broken. Valerie Harper and Liz Dawn, don't you think they look a little lonely on the list now? Also, we've had a rather warm summer here, and whenever one of those happens, there's a a fucker of a winter to follow. Lots of old people on the list. Old people didn't like cold winters. With all that said, no, I don't think they'll beat the record, till its broken one day.

Like I say, Tony Hart. (Who should have been on the 2009 list. Some of the Cmme posting on here even agreed, he'd been last man dropped from the 50 or something...)

Nice find.

Well, jeez, Shaun, you'd probably get a different list off Spade or Chorizo, but imo, the greatest living retired wrestlers over the age of 60 are: 1931 – Dick "The Destroyer" Beyer, 1935 – Bruno Sammartino 1940 – The Iron Sheik, Adrian Street, 1941 – Abdullah the Butcher (has Hep B), Pat Patterson, Dory Funk Jr 1942 – Pedro Morales, Johnny Saint, Ole Anderson, Mean Gene Okerlund 1943 – Antonio Inoki, Harley Race, Superstar Billy Graham 1944 – Jimmy Hart, Terry Funk, Rocky Johnson, Bobby Heenan, 1945 – Vince McMahon 1946 – Gerry Brisco, Kendo Nagasaki 1949 –Ric Flair, Jerry Lawler, Bob Backlund, Stan Hansen, Don Muraco, Paul Orndorff (said to be in very poor health now) 1950 – Greg Valentine 1951 – Jesse Ventura 1952 – Puppy Killing Jim Ross 1953 – Ricky Steamboat, Hulk Hogan 1954 – Ted Dibiase 1955 –,Vader, Jake "the Snake" Roberts 1956– DDP 1957 – Bret Hart Flair's widely considered the Greatest Of All Time, though I'd argue Terry Funk. Lawler's also a massive legend (ever seen the film Man on the Moon? If not, you should) and also no sold dying a few years ago, brought back after massive heart attack, refers to himself as the world's best zombie. All would get QO obits these days.

A shit Monday, or a bad day for three potential rivals?

Sorely tempted to reply "Saw it, Roey", but I'm not that mean. If he does, he'll see next year, imo. Or we'll have a pretty good idea of his prognosis. Shades of Carrie?

Jimmy Van‏ @jimmyvan74 @FightfulOnline I'm told from sources close to the situation, as of this morning Ric Flair was in a medically induced coma. 8:44 am - 14 Aug 2017 I blatantly haven't a clue how to embed tweets. It's not as easy as their how to makes it look. Anyhow, induced coma for Flair.

Yeah, same. Though perhaps he didn't want it publicized, or, sounds like he lived alone and there's a to do about his estate? Might not have been many people to let the press know, ala Patricia Laffan.

Really good actor, he's in a Peel/Steed Avengers episode called Murdersville. Also Elizabeth R, A Woman Sobbing, and Yes Prime Minister. Oh, and Sugar and Spice, an episode of Shadows of Fear, in which he plays a dad, who comes home drunk to find his youngest child missing, and his daughter telling her mum that she "promised daddy" she wouldn't say what happened to him... Creepy 70s horror, no supernatural element in sight. Recommended heavily. See, I can talk up character actors even if they didn't appear in Dr Who.

Yep, always got to keep those dead people to yourself, for fear of someone nabbing them for the DDP.

She'll get a Mail obit, no worry. Not really famous enough for the poker tournie, though.

If he gets through this, he is one of the half dozen American pro-wrestlers who feel Deathlisty. In a world where Jake the Snake made the list, of course, that number might be somewhat higher.

If you like ghost stories, and antiquary/lit history references, A Podcast to the Curious is for you. If not, it's probably not. There was a cool life of Napoleon one I lost track of, url and all.

Never heard of this guy, tbh, but looking at his Wiki: Man, they weren't even trying with that casting.

He was a unique pick on the DDP for Death Impends in 2015. Whereas in 2016, he was a pick for Diana Rots tribute team Whole in Won. Picked by nobody this time out.

OoO retired, the Skunk is always there or there abouts in the top 30 now, and DDT's record speaks for itself. Curious stat though. Was convinced you finished 2nd at some point, just from vague memory.

Yeah, tweets from his PR have gone from "nothing to worry about" to "please pray" very quickly.

Sometimes bits of a persons Wiki just stand out at you.
