Yes, that's correct. And already impressive. We don't have a K2 theme team this year that was basically harvesting a couple of January hits. There'll definitely be one more hit, in my opinion, because there's always one that gets reported late. And maybe Everett Lee gets something.

With the exception of a few very tough cases, the new DDP photos of 2022 are now done. Big thanks to @Toast, @Ulitzer95 and @Book for their help! Check out their work if you haven't yet.

Inability to escape her gravity?

Yeah, that one. Does that fulfill the criteria for the "having to replace two names in one day" bonus? Anyway, I replace him with Isabel Torres.

As the new DDP photos are being collected, and my eyes are starting to twitch from too much screen time, have a quick update: Yes, we lost two heavy criminals Russell Bishop and Mustafa Kayirici. A good joker pick for Salmon Mousse that will be reflected in the scoreboard. Meat Loaf was a big name hit for three people. Banana gets a nice unique hit with Rabbi Israel Dresner. Kenny gets a unique hit with centenarian conductor Everett Lee, who got a New York Times obit but is still waiting for a DDP QO. Finally, Hardy Krüger is a unique hit for The Daredevil, well done! I hope I didn't miss anything, tell me if I do. The Scoreboard sees SalmonMousse at the top with the fresh joker points, risky bet that paid off. Will the lead hold?

Bit of a low-hanging fruit, but a man found a sad ending to his "happy ending" massage in Thailand: https://www.mirror.co.uk/news/world-news/british-man-70-dies-inside-26078822

Age 118 is the safest age of all, because 100% of people who reached that age also reached 119.

Is there a description you would like?

Oh wow, I mean, his stuff would make him a prime candidate for CTE or early-onset Alzheimer's and the like.

Erm, I replace Kayirici with Les Shapiro then: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Les_Shapiro

I'm a soda addict, too. Kane Tanaka is my hero.

Well, the Daily Mail says he got the jab "to continue working as a coach". Maybe he was anti-vax and just got a fake one. Or, Hungary bought a lot of Sinovax. That was already rather ineffective against early variants, probably only more so now.

He turns 80 this year, and he's soon releasing a retrospective of his life: https://www.bbc.com/news/av/entertainment-arts-60092069 Seems really fine, all things considered.

WTF, lol?!? I'm just running away as far as I can before drol starts catching up. edit: Six hits in 22 days must be close to being some kind of record though.

The first new photos for our first time picks of 2022 are up! You can check the letters A, Y and Z for them. If you would like to try a letter yourself, pm me.
