The Dead Cow

For Pete's sake, I just couldn't stop myself. Symptomatic of a team assembled without a single thought or care about being a serious contender.

Peter Hall 9. Peter Sallis 10. Peter Tobin 11. Peter Sutcliffe 12. Pete Frates 13. Gord Downie 14. Jeanne Little 15. Emma Morano 16. Joost van der Westhuizen 17. Leah Bracknell 18. Desmond Carrington 19. Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi 20. Greg Gilbert 21. Tony Booth 22. Jessi Zazu 23. Rev. Billy Graham 24. Nobby Stiles 25. Vera Lynn subs Jimmy Snuka Doris Day Jurgen Habermas I have no intention of winning.

Just when I had my team sorted... Stefansson takes his place for now.

That's an interesting link you've posted, but nothing to do with Zazu. http://www.rollingstone.com/country/news/those-darlins-jessi-zazu-diagnosed-with-cancer-w456912

My favourite DI is Death Impends...

Lard Bazaar 1836 likes Morbidkid 495 likes she's been around longer plus her boyfriend lord likes all of her posts. What you don't appreciate is that the "like" system was introduced relatively recently. This is why very few earlier posts have "likes". There's no doubt that Lardy would have many more liked posts had the system been installed from the beginning. because of her boyfriend. Well, if you scroll to the second to last post on that page, you'll see LFN didn't like her post their https://forums.deathlist.net/topic/8629-the-dead-of-2016/page-73#entry285417 Or how about the fourth to last post on this page, where she didn't get a like by anyone there: https://forums.deathlist.net/topic/7206-dl-status-updates-statements-obsevations-verbal-tennis/page-69#entry284689[/quoteGggggggggggggggggggggggggaaaaaaaaaasaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I think we have our shit post of the year winner.

Douglas and Pope Frank are really the only iffy/bad picks on that list,though only Pope Benedict seems a strong bet not to see 2018 Definitely. Pope Benedict XIV died in 1758. hahahahaha sorry ... i am not good with romanian numbers i guess No.

No more.

The shock demise of Zsa Zsa Gabor hasn't changed the top half of the leader board that much at all. msc and myself both receive 25 points whilst Pedro remains on course to win this ever-exciting dead pool.

Feck me!!!

You must be choking! I thought he was long dead. RIP anyway.

Here's a few of the names who I have considered but won't be making my main team for the DDP. Fred Foster - Founder of Monument Records is looking very frail in this photo taken early this year after it was announced that he would be inducted into the Country Music Hall of Fame. He's 85 years old and should achieve a QO through Roy Orbison's association with Monument Records. Mary Midgley - Moral philosopher and author of many books including 'Beast And Man' and 'Animals And Why They Matter'. She's 97 years old and I think she would make a good addition to DL 2017, however I have no reason other than age to place her on my main team. Paul Quinn - Lead Singer from Bourgie Bourgie who is reported to have been suffering from a severe form of MS for 20 years. However, there has been no info on him in recent years and would therefore be a risk if you were to select him. Frank Lucas - Former heroin dealer who is the subject of the film American Gangster. 86 years old and confined to a wheelchair after being involved in a car accident many years ago. He has appeared on all of my main teams since my DDP debut but I will be dropping him for next year.

There's this: http://www.bbc.co.uk/newsbeat/article/38340516/tributes-paid-to-sports-commentator-craig-sager-whos-died-aged-65. Not sure if it counts though.

I saw this clip a few weeks ago, which features him at the end and I suspected he wouldn't make the starting line

...Dickensian character traits...

Cat for host!

What are you on about? He's dead

I'll throw another Peter into the mix. Peter Sarstedt

Roey Juss

Apparently Fidel Castro and Leonard Cohen were both pallbearers at the funeral of Pierre Trudeau. Konstantinos Stephanopoulos was also in attendance. The Aga Khan must be shitting himself.

I just finished reading Sylvia Plath's The Bell Jar yesterday. It was a fascinating read, beautiful prose and plenty of discussion on suicide methods, which is good enough for me. I've now gone back to slowly making my way through The Brothers Karamazov. I can't help but feel as if it would be a much quicker read if all the names weren't so farking hard to pronounce. Very enjoyable nonetheless. Would love to read some Graham Greene though, could anyone suggest some Graham Greene?
