Alright, so I have a joker.... I can choose it to be any card I want to, except for those I have already drawn? Then I want to keep my chances for a Royal Flush alive, snatch another pair, and my first two pairs, and choose the Jack of Clubs.

Heh, no just from 10+4, to 9+4.

Nice one, and about time, I guess. I guess many will just drop their Shadow lists in here, but I think in a few cases it will require a little tweaking, as the picks have to be at least somewhat internationally famous, i.e. no Ruth Apilado, for example. From my current shadow list, I might have to remove Catherine Wybourne, possibly Brendon Ormsby, maybe Michael McKevitt? Ah well, should be doable.

Nope, don't trust the obituary clickbait sites. The UFC twitter account (finally) says she was born in 1967. I had my doubts about the younger age anyway, but hard to tell with a make up artist who also liked to use extreme photo filters. The correction (-1 point for me) will come later.

He actually has had coronary heart disease, but the doctors fixed him, removed a blockage, put in a stent, and now he has regular check-ups. Actually, some new info from the Express, for once: https://www.express.co.uk/life-style/health/1488233/patrick-stewart-health-latest-coronary-heart-disease

Ah damn, he was on the decline for a while. And he couldn't attend the recent festival.

Well, Terry Lubbock is still not dead, but "gravely ill": https://www.standard.co.uk/news/uk/stuart-lubbock-s-campaigning-father-gravely-ill-b955119.html "We are praying and hoping for the best". I assume he has lost consciousness now.

Suzy Friton QO: https://uk.news.yahoo.com/ufc-fighters-staff-mourn-death-170004006.html

Well, before the likely official tribute at the next UFC fight night, there's also this: https://uk.news.yahoo.com/ufc-fighters-staff-mourn-death-170004006.html

David Bailey has been diagnosed with vascular dementia: https://www.theguardian.com/artanddesign/2021/sep/11/photographer-david-bailey-reveals-he-has-vascular-dementia He's had it for three years and seems to have adjusted to it just fine. He says, he can go see a movie,then forget about it, and watch it again, after two years.

Is life without a dog even worth living?

The industry chatter has me optimistic about a QO. There seems to be a possibility to honor her in about a week, so the "MMA stars pay tribute" stories might take that time. Apparently, she was 37 at time of death. Edit: Ah yes, next UFC fight night, in Las Vegas, which is good, is on the 18th/19th.

Classical pianist Maria-Joao Pires, 77, suffered a "rather serious" fall: https://slippedisc.com/2021/09/maria-joao-pires-is-badly-injured-in-riga/

"Died suddenly in her sleep". How does that happen? She was only 73, so unlikely to be organ failure / "old age".

Makes me wonder, maybe one of these unexplained absences was gastric bypass surgery? He's getting fit because of the COVID threat, obviously.

I had to change because apparently, I squeezed all deadpooling luck out of Miles.
