Happy birthday!

Did he look bad in a "Chemo failed" way, in a "drunk and high at 10am" way, or in a "hepatitis and liver failure" way?

Could his stool provide infos on his health? https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/opinion/kim-jong-un-toilet

Probably not attending the World Cup opening ceremony because of ill health: http://www.sportstarlive.com/football/fifa-world-cup-2018/pele-may-not-attend-russia-world-cup-opening-ceremony/article24134006.ece I think the committee will get one more chance to pick him.

I found Oblivion a bit of a letdown after Morrowind, and I actually thought Skyrim was better.

Neat, The Elder Scrolls VI in "pre-production": https://www.pcgamer.com/bethesdas-starfield-is-playable-elder-scrolls-6-is-in-pre-production-says-todd-howard/ I never even finished Skyrim because the side quests distracted me for too long, and then my life changed a couple of times. Maybe some day...

Interview with Ginger Baker's son Kofi: https://www.rollingstone.com/music/features/ginger-bakers-son-talks-father-music-of-cream-tour-w521181 Interesting quote: "My dad is such an asshole that it's not like I was stressed about making him proud or anything." He also says that his father is deaf now.

Falcon Studios performer and "Chaturbate model" Dave Slick, dead at 26: https://www.queerty.com/adult-film-performer-dave-slick-dead-26-20180611 He was in the city for the Exxxotica Expo convention.

The "winningest" coach of college athletics in Arkansas, Alvy Early has died: http://katv.com/sports/content/alvy-early-loses-battle-with-cancer The late Early?

Jon Hassell's new album is out now ("Listening to Pictures" - on Spotify). Once again, good music to get high to. Too bad I don't do that.

So I was forced to do some more research on "Lil" rappers, and thankfully, I found this gem, which apparently went viral in 2016: Dutch rapper Lil Kleine and his hit "drank en drugs" in the "Offical German Version":

I kind of hope one of them dies fast, so I can make a new poll and add Lil Aaron and Lil Yachty (Edit: and Lil Jon!), and possibly any other of the more prominent Lils out there (even "formerly Lil" Bow Wow?). "Spotify Now Features over 8.000 rappers with "Lil" in their name": https://www.youredm.com/2018/06/08/spotify-now-features-over-8000-rappers-with-lil-in-their-name/ Oh, and by the way, "Gucci Gang", by Lil Pump: Over 700 million views: (Edit: I'm kind of proud that I did pick about 90% of those that should be picked.)

She gets her own section of a park: https://edition.cnn.com/travel/article/saskatoon-joni-mitchell-saskatchewan-canada/index.html The article also links to a "viral" picture of her at one of her rare public appearances: She's using a wheelchair now.

Yes, I wanted to imply that I might be willing to pay for the DDP - if it was legal.

Now the grandmother of some K-pop boy has received a QO from a DDP-qualifying source: https://metro.co.uk/2018/06/10/bts-member-jins-grandmother-passes-away-rest-peace-7619296/ His name is Kim Seok-jin, her name is ... unknown. Oh and James Corden had a tweet with them, I guess that explains it.

I like the professionalisation you want to achieve with this, but I am not sure I want it this way. If there were some "official" worll no. 1 dead pool wanting an entry fee I might consider it, but not here.

Too bad the King of Clubs has recently died.

9 years old and already planning a comeback: https://www.businessinsider.de/9-year-old-youtube-star-lil-tay-disappeared-from-internet-2018-6?r=US&IR=T "Reportedly, Lil Tay has plans to make a comeback after her image has been rebranded." So I assume an abortion at 11, heroin addict at 13, bankrupt at 16, "I'm a celebrity, get me out of here" at 19, "Dancing with the Stars" at 21, Cruise ship performances at 24, dead at 26.

I stopped googling after "B"...too many names ;). Feel free to name your choice in your reply for bragging rights.

I actually considered him! Not because I knew him, but because he was first in the alphabet... But I kind of had enough Lil's already and he seemed not quite notable enough.

A mean person.
