    Read Any Good Books Lately?

    Is it better to read the first books of the trilogy first? I bought The Mirror and the Light now, because of the universal critical acclaim. But now wonder if they need to be read in order.

    Windy City Deadpool 2021-2022

    I didn't choose Terry Lubbock in this because I wondered if he fulfilled that fame criterion, and I couldn't ask Cpt. Chorizo for clarification because I didn't want to reveal my joker in the Deathlist Cup to my opponent.

    The D-A-CH-DeathList 2025 (page 25)

    Well, well, Karl-Günther Von Hase would have recieved a QO: https://www.telegraph.co.uk/obituaries/2021/05/11/karl-gunther-von-hase-diplomat-wehrmacht-veteran-deftly-eased/

    Authors Last A Long Time, But....

    Yeah, she (?) recently altered her Twitter bio to add her agent's contact address. I assume it means that she can no longer reply to anything herself. It's the end of the road.

    Norman Lloyd

    That's an interesting concept. I've always thought that for music, Brian Eno would be close to the centre - certainly for me. For Norman Lloyd, I guess those young actors first need to build a career. One or two more generations, and those Bacon numbers for the current list might increase. Interestingly though, Christopher Lee's career covers almost exactly the same time as Norman Lloyd. And he is in the database.

    MMMDP 2021

    MMMDP Form Guide #4 Dilip Kumar Perennial pick in these games, recently hospitalised, and living in the middle of a pandemic hellhole. Battling it out with Leslie Phillips in the "Smackdown of the immortals". However, in his case, the normal deadpooling rules don't apply and they never have. Pick him at your own risk.

    Norman Lloyd

    He might a good "Six degrees of separation" answer in the future though, considering that that Apatow movie had some young, and very young actors. However, it's likely none of us are going to live long enough to enjoy these connections. You know, like nobody was interested in President Tyler's grandsons until recently.

    Derby Dead Pool 2021

    Alright, the murderer is in. I will not be at home between Thursday and Sunday, so maybe it's the last update for a few days.

    Derby Dead Pool 2021

    Ah thanks Willz :). Well, I was under the assumption that we had no new obits recently. I am still waiting for QOs for Yegor Ligachev and Leslie Marr. It's been a quiet few weeks since Prince Philip died.

    The 100 Club

    Some news from the people I picked in the Centenarian deadpool. Harry Goldsworthy recently celebrated his 107th birthday. He's still living in his own home and fit enough to ride a motorcycle... or at least to sit on it. https://www.warhistoryonline.com/news/air-force-general.html Ruth Apilado is now Illinois' oldest living person. And also, after the death of Hester Ford, the oldest living American is now Thelma Sutcliffe: https://1440wrok.com/midwestern-woman-becomes-oldest-living-american/

    Madchester

    Shaun Ryder says that the 20 years of heroin abuse (he didn't abuse it, did he? He used it the way it's supposed to...) didn't lead to any lasting damage. Apparently, he had low testosterone, but he got it fixed and now his hair is growing back somewhat.. https://www.theguardian.com/music/2021/may/10/shaun-ryder-i-was-a-heroin-addict-for-20-odd-years-but-theres-been-no-damage-off-that He does have hereditary thyroid problems, though, and a new hip. And ADHS and dyslexia. There'll be a new album.

    Alexey Navalny

    You know, Russia tries to protect its image, denies poisoning, throwing people out of windows, shooting down planes, etc.... But I have to wonder, isn't it better now to just admit to what they're doing? It seems your risk of dying in Russia due to some accident is intolerably high. I would not want to live in such a dangerous country full of insecure windows and dangerous woods.

    Johnny Solinger, ex-singer of Skid Row, and apparently only the second-biggest frontman in the history of the band, has been diagnosed with liver failure, possibly because of Hepatitis: https://www.blabbermouth.net/news/ex-skid-row-singer-johnny-solinger-diagnosed-with-liver-failure/ Prognosis is "not that good" but he wants to get a fundraiser going etc...

    Non-British Royals

    New Zulu king is Prince Misizulu: https://www.bbc.com/news/world-africa-57035157 However, apparently there's been a family dispute and a brother really doesn't like that. Also, the rumour that Queen Dlamini died of poisoning was just a "misunderstanding".

    The 2021 Deathlist Cup

    Well, I said this month is a lottery, with all the Covid people... only, every ticket wins. I guess it's because the health systems in Latin America and on the Indian subcontinent have collapsed. I see a slight decrease in hospitalizations in recent days. So maybe this wave has peaked. Some scientists though say that it's going to get worse in India. That would make the semi-finals a high-scoring but also pretty stale event. Let's see...
