The Dead Cow

An accurate epithet, but as Joey said, it's JiroemonKimura. Zorders was Dead and Deader.

It was you who picked him for the Advent Avalanche. In fairness, it's not as bad as Cancerous Hatred robbing themselves of a unique pick for Salvatore DiMasi.

Whilst grateful for the points, I'm actually very sad to hear of her death. Reading her blog had sort of become part of my daily routine ever since the year begun, and I'll miss translating her words into rather cryptic but at times beautiful updates on her health and her gratitude towards her family. I'm rather surprised as well, because she didn't look days from death on her last blog post a few days ago. RIP Mao.

Liz Smith (32), Tam Dalyell (14), Tony Davis (21) and Katherine Fryer (49) have all died as well. Edit: Apparently I'm an idiot as I had no idea that there was a living Liz Smith... and there is!

BBC obit for Van-Zan.

Much congratulations to CaptainChorizo, a well deserved win. For those who care about podium positions, it looks like second and third belong to myself and Shaun as Gloria Fajardo and Paul Van-Zandvliet have both died.

Comments on his Facebook page suggest that Paul Van-Zandvliet has died. Edit: Newcastle Falcons confirm.

In stark contrast with Errol Christie, Helen Fawkes proves to be a very significant hit. My own chances of winning are now well and truly Fawked whilst there is a change in leader at the top end of the scoreboard handing Drol the headline position as things stand. Here are the scores! 1st - Drol - 7 points 2nd - The Unknown Man - 12 points 3rd - CaptainChorizo - 13 points 4th - Bert Trautmann - 16 points 5th - Grim Up North - 18 points 6th - GraveDanger - 20 points 7th - Dr_T - 22 points 8th - Garn2 - 30 points =9th - Book - 31 points =9th - Morbidkid - 31 points 11th - msc - 32 points 12th - gcreptile - 33 points 13th - YoungWillz - 35 points =14th - Bibliogryphon - 36 points =14th - Shaun of the Dead - 36 points =16th - RadGuy - 40 points =16th - Switch - 40 points 18th - Death Impends - 41 points 19th - Toast - 44 points 20th - Pedro67 - 45 points 21st - CharonsCrew - 47 points 22nd - WednesdayAddams - 48 points 23rd - rockhopperpenguin - 51 points 24th - esher - 55 points 25th - Dead Cow - 58 points 26th - Deathray - 59 points 27th - Joeyruss - 63 points 28th - Angels - 77 points

I think I win this round, unless if anyone had Julia Perez. I'll replace Christie with comatose boxer Daniel Franco.

Errol Christie unsurprisingly not a big hitter but nonetheless deals some hefty blows to Angels and esher leaving them very much on the ropes at this moment in time. Here are the scores! 1st - The Unknown Man - 3 points 2nd - Drol - 7 points 3rd - CaptainChorizo - 13 points =4th - Bert Trautmann - 16 points =4th - Dr_T - 16 points 6th - Grim Up North - 18 points 7th - GraveDanger - 20 points 8th - RadGuy - 22 points 9th - Garn2 - 23 points 10th - gcreptile - 24 points 11th - Death Impends - 27 points =12th - Book - 31 points =12th - Morbidkid - 31 points 14th - msc - 32 points 15th - rockhopperpenguin - 33 points 16th - Dead Cow - 34 points 17th - YoungWillz - 35 points =18th - Bibliogryphon - 36 points =18th - Shaun of the Dead - 36 points 20th - Switch - 40 points 21st - WednesdayAddams - 41 points 22nd - Joeyruss - 43 points 23rd - Toast - 44 points =24th - Deathray - 45 points =24th - Pedro67 - 45 points 26th - CharonsCrew - 47 points 27th - esher - 55 points 28th - Angels - 56 points

Dead according to this tweet. https://twitter.com/cathybrownboxer/status/874013258189033474 Edit: Quite a few notable boxers including Frank Bruno are tweeting it, so it must be true.

Deathray, Angels and those mentioned by GUN above all seem to have been in the wrong trousers when they picked Peter Sallis and no amount of cheese and crackers can save them. A few minor changes to the scoreboard are in order, though nothing too drastic. Here are the scores! 1st - The Unknown Man - 3 points 2nd - Drol - 7 points 3rd - CaptainChorizo - 13 points =4th - Bert Trautmann - 16 points =4th - Dr_T - 16 points 6th - Grim Up North - 18 points 7th - GraveDanger - 20 points 8th - RadGuy - 22 points 9th - Garn2 - 23 points 10th - gcreptile - 24 points 11th - Death Impends - 27 points =12th - Book - 31 points =12th - Morbidkid - 31 points 14th - msc - 32 points 15th - rockhopperpenguin - 33 points 16th - Dead Cow - 34 points 17th - YoungWillz - 35 points =18th - Bibliogryphon - 36 points =18th - Shaun of the Dead - 36 points 20th - Switch - 40 points 21st - WednesdayAddams - 41 points 22nd - Joeyruss - 43 points =23rd - esher - 44 points =23rd - Toast - 44 points =25th - Deathray - 45 points =25th - Pedro67 - 45 points 27th - CharonsCrew - 47 points 28th - Angels - 51 points

June 29th.

I'll replace Clarke Carlisle with comatose boxer David Whittom. Otherwise I'll stick.

Looks like you've just killed him. I hope you're proud.

Dead

Brigitte Bardot, Alain Badiou and Roman Polanski are all possibilities.

Glen Campbell to say ciao, arrivederci or sayonara sometime soon.

Latest from Smith Hart's Facebook page is that he's been confined to a hospital bed for over a week and he might be entering hospice care soon. https://www.facebook.com/plugins/post.php?href=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.facebook.com%2Fsmith.hart.5%2Fposts%2F1343985022351368

Totally forgot the whole concept of this game. In that case, I'll have Clarke Carlisle back.
