No sorry, I think we ruled those out. I am optimistic though that a late obit will come. All the award winners should get something, in my opinion.

At 93 deaths now. It's not far away from where I grew up. The water is making its way towards the Netherlands now and will pass my original hometown. It will be less dangerous there, but there will be a triple-digit number of deaths in the end. And it's quite a bit of a national tragedy and a political bomb.

Never miss a chance to bump up this thread... "Controversial" economist, and former president of the University of Chicago, Hugo Sonnenschein has died at 80: https://chicago.suntimes.com/2021/7/15/22579281/hugh-sonnenschein-university-chicago-president-obituary

Under our radars it seems, but not yours....

Funnily, and it's very unexpected, Florian Schneider's "original" instrument was the flute: https://www.theguardian.com/music/2020/may/07/florian-schneider-obituary You can hear him play on Kraftwerk's earliest albums, also on the Autobahn album IIRC.

Test results are there. He says "It's the same cancer that my mum had", so uterine cancer, I guess. https://www.iheart.com/content/2021-07-14-mark-hoppus-reveals-he-has-the-same-type-of-cancer-his-mom-had-and-beat/ . . . Nah, it's actually lymphoma as I guessed above. Stage IV-A

By the way, I noticed that there are at least two Saranyas. One of them being extremely popular actress Saranya Ponvannan. The other, more minor, Saranya Sasi, is the one I picked - and msc as well, I would believe - as she is the one with COVID and brain cancer.

I think I'm about 6 years spread over three hits ahead on age. Which is basically the same as msc's defence having one more yellow card or something. His joker is definitely the biggest factor in the game. If it strikes, I'd need two unique hits to counter (and gain the number of hits tiebreaker). One of them is pretty likely going to be David Gulpilil. The other one would have to be Alan Igglesden, Shakti Mishra or Sandra Richardson (and that is without any additional hit by msc!). My own joker is pretty much only "nice to have", as long as I am ahead on the tiebreakers anyway.

Darcelle XV, world's oldest drag queen at 90 years old: https://www.theguardian.com/world/2021/jul/15/oldest-drag-queen-darcelle-covid-lgbt Still performing though (!)

Gary W. Moore has died: https://muscatinejournal.com/muscatine/news/local/columnist-gary-moore-dies-66/article_fe5b059b-7e6f-56b0-81d2-91b0410d2b69.html

My replacement in case Sandra Richardson wasn't accepted. Let's see if it was a terrible miss.

Filipino Snake Man who said he was immune to snake poison, dies of a snake bite after trying to kiss a cobra: https://www.thesun.co.uk/news/15592645/filipino-snake-man-dies-cobra-bit-tongue/

And additionally, he seems to be ill of everything. For example, this CNN article: https://edition.cnn.com/2021/07/14/americas/bolsonaro-hospital-hiccups-gbr-intl/index.html He's had a consistent cough in recent months. They are also considering surgery to remove a hernia in the abdominal region in the near future. Some of it could be Long Covid, or the aftermath of the assassination attempt he survived.

Ulitzer could make a Wikipedia entry for it. It sounds notable enough.

Hospitalised because of consistent hiccups: https://www.reuters.com/world/americas/brazil-president-bolsonaro-hospitalized-brasilia-says-source-2021-07-14/ I believe, it's the demons trying to escape the body. Also, in the thread above we mentioned that he had "mold in his lungs". Now we know, it's that effect of heavy COVID treatment that was also very frequent in India just recently.

^^ Well, this does remind me that I once saw former german TV host Patrice (Bouédibéla) while I was working in a Cologne music store. https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Patrice_Bouédibéla He was once in a relationship with US singer Anastacia (of breast cancer fame). Last TV appearance was apparently in 2014. It was unimpressive in every sense of the word. I think I already told though, that at the same gig, I saw Kraftwerk original member Florian Schneider there as well. Unsurprisingly, they both wanted to buy electronic music instruments.

Stomach removed. Apparently, there's not just cancer in his stomach (squamous cell carcinoma), but also mesothelioma cells. https://www.metalcastle.net/exoduss-gary-holt-says-tom-hunting-removed-all-cancer-and-mesothelioma-nodules/

Usually, posting here gets it going..so.... no notable deaths today so far?

There is the question whether egyptian pharaoh Pepi II actually reigned for 94 years and died at 101 as some egyptian sources have had it. Could be, could not be, as the Old empire collapsed either after his reign or in the latter third of his life. Maybe he Dilip Kumar'ed in his latter years, so one thing led to another. Edit: Ah, and here is a suitable wikipedia list: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_centenarians_(royalty_and_nobility)

Thanks for asking ;), yes it was great, but hot.

Alright, let's see if I got it after a week of absence, and two weeks after the replacement period. We got the Louis Andriessen QO for Salmon Mousse, and also Carlos Reutemann for Salmon Mousse, and BabyBlue. The latter a first replacement hit. We've also Dilip Kumar, Rick Laird (another replacement hit), and Ernie Moss. This all results in a new number one, SalmonMousse, well done! Rank Team Score 1 Salmon Mousse 928 2 JoeyRuss 907 3 Cpt.
