I'm sure I'd be much happier as an anonymous troll

Washed up child/teen stars are often a good bet. His co-star in Bully, Brad Renfro, only made it to 25

Agreed. It'd take like 5 minutes to write a decent descrition for James and Demjanjuk, or at least give Demjanjuk a decent pun. Well they're up to date on the obits, still no Demjanjuk pun tho. Is DL stumped for the first time in 14 years?

In which case good for him! He ain't the DL favourite for nothing

Oscar Niemeyer

We're open to suggestions. What can you come up with? John's Gone? Dead-man-juk? Not much but a start

Can't anyone come up with a decent pun for his obit?

Too much like kicking a man when they're down

Dunno whether this is the right forum, but wondering whether the admins are EVER gonna post obits for the 2 successful DL candidates this year (or even correct the obvious spelling mistake)

Assuming he pulls through this year, Hugo Chavez is looking like a good contender for next year

And pints of Guinness. I thought it was to not panic?

How about a link to this quote. I've not managed to find it and I've read several reports mentioning his miraculous awakening and the celebrations with 'champagnme'. It's probably just DL's favourite exile trolling yet again

The Daily Sport is no longer published dimmy

If they do indeed both croak shortly might this stir the obit writers on here out of their present inertia? The maggots have been tucking into Etta for about 3 months now yet there is STILL no obituary

I don't imagine that's what they have in mind, still hope springs eternal. He's a charisma-free zone for sure. Does anybody else find the current British tourism campaign with Stephen Fry and Julie Walters to be the most excruciating, toe-curlingly awful ad ever produced? When I see it at the cinema I literally have to stifle the urge to yell "fuck off!" it reeks of thinly-veiled xenophobia and, rather than encourage holidaymakers to stay home, will most likely drive them to emigrate en masse. Fry asks 'why would anyone want to go abroad in 2012?' how about to get away from you, you smug, pompous, self-satisfied cunt!

Find some other ailing star from yesteryear to sink his claws into Clive Dunn? Never knew he was bi

Find some other ailing star from yesteryear to sink his claws into

A parting shot perhaps?

You know that movie Armageddon? With the Aerosmith song and Liv Tyler and Steve Buscemi phoning his appearance in? Friend of a friend works in the movie industry on... like, I dunno what you call it. Special effects I suppose. Anyway, we were at some dreary drinks party once and he's had a few and he lets slip... Bruce Willis didn't actually fly into space and blow an asteroid up for that movie. It's all made up, entirely. Really? You'll be telling me next John Hurt didn't really have an alien rip through his stomach and Arnie and Danny aren't even related, let alone twins. My point being that no-one ever tried to claim that Hollywood blockbusters are anything but fiction - unlike WWF/WWE. No one tries to pass it off as real these days, not since the 1970s. Vince McMahon's concept of "Sports Entertainment" put paid to that I would suggest that McMahon was trying to pass it off as sport into the 90's. If there is evidence (even anecdotal) to the contrary I'd like to see it. Actually he has for many years now attempted to present his product as distinctive from sport, and wrestling for that matter, in order both to console his inferiority complex over being thought of as a lowly wrestling promoter, and to gain exemption from various taxations and regulations applicable to pro-sport organisations in the US

Yeah, but in those days the notion of 'protecting the business at all costs' or 'kayfabe' was still enforced rigorously, not the case anymore? Re:- your second paragraph, are you a wrestling journalist, or merely a sadomasochist? You say that as if they were mutually exclusive! Well with the general state of pro-wrestling these days...

We want a bigger name than that. How about Vince McMahon ? That would shake up the wrestling world It does need shaking up, Vince has too much power and has let it all go to his head. And he's more pre-occupied with money-losing follies like WWE Studios than actually investing in the long-term future of the product that actually made him rich in the first place. He has become the Howard Hughes of wrestling

Al megrahi

What a glowing endorsement of marriage that would be
