    MMMDP 2024

    It's not the act, It's always the cover-up.

    Deathlist Cup 2024

    Unsurprisingly, I've only received one team so far. People who have submitted yet, you know who you are, you've got a bit more than 24 hours left.

    Shadow DeathList Competition 2024

    I think I might be at 16 hits. Alice Munro gets in for Cale Yarborough who died on Dec 31st 2023. Then Jan AP Kaczmarek, who just died. Then one more is missing.

    Lynch Mob

    Lynch just posted something on Twitter for the first time in 1,5 years. Something will be coming to see and hear on June 5th. He sounds undiminished.

    Assassinations

    Oops you're right, I guess I merged him mentally with Sirhan Sirhan and other assassins.

    Assassinations

    Possibly even Deathlisty, but if Google translate is correct, he says that he's "in his last years", so it may be a slower cancer, and he might be coming forward to get some better prison conditions. Still, a very attractive pick.

    Hollywood Possibilities

    Bit unrelated, but Richard Dreyfuss attended a Jaws screening yesterday and went off the rails, against #metoo, gender issues, called Stephen Spielberg an idiot, etc.... it's all on Twitter, with pictures, wine glass in hand: https://x.com/kwittman/status/1794903296102293971 Edit: Well, maybe more related than I initially thought... I'm suspecting a bit of beginning dementia.

    Deathlist Cup 2024

    Things are speeding up, College director Craig Cobane has died: https://wkuherald.com/76830/news/craig-cobane-executive-director-of-the-honors-college-has-passed-away/ He was hired as executive director to manage Kentucky's first Honor college, and he was a published academic himself, so sort of a University president of an admittedly, not necessarily top tier university. As I mentioned before, not the biggest fame credentials, but you saw me accepting him. So the people who did not pick him in this round, you are missing out on the points, but you do receive the honor of not stealing somebody else's picks. And yes, Craig Cobane didn't look THAT close to death's door at the most recent instagram posts two weeks ago. The DDT vs. max_bossetti matchup changes leads for a second time. DDT has a couple of outs left though. Perhaps 0-4 GuyFromFuture arghton 4-10 wannamaker Banana 7-0 msc DevonDeathTrip 6-7 max_bossetti

    Thanks, she does need an english-language obit now though, or one of the listed foreign sources.

    Deathlist Cup 2024

    The gods have sent me my salvation. Bette Nash, world's longest-active flight attendant has died and is a hit for Banana: https://airlinegeeks.com/2024/05/25/world-s-longest-serving-flight-attendant-passes-away/ Perhaps 0-4 GuyFromFuture arghton 4-10 wannamaker Banana 4-0 msc DevonDeathTrip 6-4 max_bossetti Not quite the hit I expected from his team, but here it is. Bette Nash held the Guinness World Record for her activity, for the highest age and most flights, and had a series of articles written on her in recent years. She was still active until very recently - when she had a very quick downturn from breast cancer.
