Alright, no update in almost a month.... and between work and holiday I lost track of who's new, and what's the narrative. So a sober update - if I missed something, let me know. New Hits: Frankie Banali, Sumner Redstone, Bullet Bob Armstrong, Christopher Guy Harrison, Dale Hawerchuk (Jiroemon Kimura with the latter two!), Kamala the wrestler and frequent pick John Hume. It gives us the following new scoreboard: Rank Team Score 1 Death Impends 1087 2 msc 921 3 Joey Russ 901 4 gcreptile 866 5 Banana 853 6 Cpt.

Mirzayanov feels guilty in this German interview mostly behind a paywall: https://www.spiegel.de/politik/ausland/nowitschok-erfinder-zum-fall-alexej-nawalny-ich-fuehle-mich-schuldig-a-dac1d8ce-af43-4ea6-86ce-c639760b03de Looks good though for an octogenarian with stage iv cancer.

Disney animator Sue Maciorowski, who worked on the classical 90s movies, like The Lion King, Aladdin and such, dead at 55: https://www.cbr.com/disney-animation-artist-sue-nichols-maciorowski-died/

Former "Springbok" i.e. South African rugby player Peter Cronje, dead at 70: https://www.thesouthafrican.com/sport/rugby/former-springbok-center-peter-cronje-dead-aged-70/

Yes, I am updating... ...and also, Vice-Admiral Thomas Baird apparently already died in 2019 off the sonar - picked by Stiff Upper Lip. http://announcements.telegraph.co.uk/deaths/99013/baird

I always "kind of" wanted to read bis books. But he was always a bit looked down upon by more orthodox economists, even the mainstream center-left ones.

It must be so depressing, to outlive everyone around you... August was a fairly poor deadpooling month. I think it's because the death of Sumner Redstone was such a giant undertaking that it completely exhausted the Grim Reaper. When / If Dilip Kumar dies, he might just be the only relevant death that month.

I saw the news yesterday already and was thinking whether to pick him in the 6-6-6 pool. I kind of thought that, yes, he will die within 6 months, but not this year...

Rush Limbaugh recently suffered an infection and was off the airwaves for a week: http://www.insideradio.com/free/rush-limbaugh-back-on-the-air-after-missing-a-week-of-broadcasts-due-to-infection/article_c0b2eecc-ebcb-11ea-8b17-a3442dc6137f.html

Mike Sexton, Hall of famer mentioned in the first post, has prostate cancer (and is already in hospice care): https://www.cardschat.com/news/mike-sexton-sick-poker-report-93523/

Maybe there is a 2-for-1 offering in the surrogate industry... (Serious background: lots of ukranian surrogate babies are not being ...uhh... fetched: https://www.nytimes.com/2020/08/15/world/europe/ukraine-baby-surrogate.html )

Gunther Von Hagens - lol, that's clever.

20 new charges of sexual assault: https://www.nbclosangeles.com/local-2/adult-film-star-ron-jeremy-sexual-assault-rape-charges/2421248/

Michael Cullen might go for euthanasia: https://i.stuff.co.nz/national/politics/300093925/terminally-ill-sir-michael-cullen-backs-euthanasia-yes-vote-says-he-wants-choice-for-himself

Has there ever been a deadpool in which someone got the full 100% hit rate? Apart from Advent Avalanche, MMMDP and the like... Because whoever wants to get there has to resist picking people like Tom Smith - those who seem to be fucked by all accounts, yet persist, and die 1-3 years later.

Could be a hit for me, here and there Edit: Well, it would have been last year...
