The show's not cursed, they're just old.

To the contrary, he was on Sir Creep's DDP team this year. The lack of information on him is deterring me from him, but he'd be a good pick.

Betty White is also a MTM actress. & I believe that she's on this years list. I'll have to double check, though.Are you a committee member?Last I checked, no.Then how do you know the list? He doesn't, if he thinks Betty White is on it. He was referring to this year's list.

Changed your mind have you, RadGuy?

I've submitted the first 50 names that came to my head. I can't remember who those people are, but if they're not on the DL next year, the committee ought to be ashamed. As long as I do better than Morbidkid then I'll be reasonably happy.

He's going to be a popular dead pool pick if they don't treat him right. Edit: For those of you who don't get the reference. Treat Her Right

28th January: Paul Kantner 14th March: Sir Peter Maxwell Davies 13th June: Michu Meszaros

Deathray, I knew it was you...

Former NFL safety, Keion Carpenter has been confirmed dead at 39. Buggers up my Deathrace team but relieves me of a tough DDP decision. Edit: He would have been a hit if only he lasted 3 more days, as he gets a Daily Mail obit.

My team has been submitted. Feeling rather confident with my selection this year, as long as they don't all die before the starting line then I would consider myself a contender.

It's been 30 years since Harold Macmillan went with the wind (of change)

Good Mourning. In all seriousness, this really is quite sad. RIP Debbie and Carrie

Stingin' in the Brain?

It's his son Saif al-Islam Gaddafi

Neville Neville died last year Creep. I remember you kicked off about not knowing who he was.

I've just sent off my first ever theme team. Not much thought went into this assemblage of philosophers and theologians, that will probably show throughout the year. Destination Eschaton Saul Kripke (joker) Mary Midgley Huston Smith Slavoj Zizek Richard Swinburne Alvin Plantinga Gayatri Spivak Nel Noddings Derek Parfit Sandra Harding Robert M. Pirsig Jurgen Habermas Gillo Dorfles Keith Ward Agnes Heller Alain Badiou Hans Albert Mary Warnock Noam Chomsky Anthony Kenny Subs Daniel Dennett Simon Blackburn Kanye West My main team won't be sent off until the 31st, but I've finally settled on a joker and it's quite a risk.

Hellraiser, Lemmy was killed by death on this day last year.

Eduard Strauss, one of the Strauss dynasty, composed his last waltz 100 years ago on this day.

It's true... http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/news/carrie-fisher-dead-star-wars-actress-was-60-959097 RIP.

None of the above. I've never been right, by the way...

Adams down. We're on fire.

British philosopher, logician and card game enthusiast, Sir Michael Dummett was dealt a bad hand 5 years ago.
