I think Carrington can be safely dropped and picked up again later. De Cuellar would't even really count as a miss if he died... I mean, nobody would "really" care. QE II was a "precautionary measure" for this year. But she's ok it seems. I thought about Wouk. Norden is too boring for me as a non-Brit, same for Stiles (though a good pick, he's not unique enough as a member of the Club of 66) and Phillips. Fats Domino is nice too have. They probably won't drop him because they missed Chuck Berry. Akihito is going to last 2-3 years, I guess.

Perhaps a Kayden or a Tyga

Hmm.... the Undroppables: 1. Kirk Douglas (too big, too old) 2. Prince Philpp (too big, too retired) 3. Stan Lee (judging by little tidbits) 4. Bob Dole (as mentioned in his thread) 5. Leah Bracknell (too ill) 6. Gord Downie (too ill) 7. Robert Mugabe (getting there) 8. King Michael (too ill) 9. George Bush Sr. (too big, too ill) 10. David Prowse (wait and see) 11. Pope Benedict (as above) 12. Desmond Tutu (my personal opinion) 13. Gay Byrne (we have to if the new medication works) 14. Valerie Harper (we have to see if the new medication works) 15. Perhaps Billy Graham? (too invested in him) 16. Perhaps Olivia De Havilland? (too invested in her)

Yesterday, I briefly considered bumping this thread to post that Jolie was once supposed to ensnare African Warlord Joseph Kony in a 'honeytrap': http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-4959582/Angelina-Jolie-asked-arrest-warlord-Joseph-Kony.html

Catherine Nevin hospitalised after a fall: http://www.irishmirror.ie/news/irish-news/black-widow-catherine-nevin-hospitalised-11352110 Weird story. Was said to be in a fragile state. But was also meeting with "a group of friends"...

As written already elsewhere, he got a medal yesterday. And here is a related video: In my opinion, the biggest "cert" of 2018.

When I saw this thread being bumped, I thought Artie Lange had died from a diabetic shock.

Doing some research on her at the moment. Wikipedia says that Hamilton-Byrne was "ready to die" after she re-united with her "favourite daughter" Sarah Moore in 2009. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sarah_Moore_(The_Family) Then in 2014 Sarah Moore blogged that Hamilton-Byrne "is going to die soon": http://drsarahmoore.blogspot.de/ Ironically, Sarah Moore died last year in May and Hamilton-Byrne is still alive.

I can't remember where, but someone somewhere suggested french writer Anne Bert because she considered euthanasia. She died on Oct. 2nd: https://www.humanite.fr/de-vincent-humbert-anne-bert-quinze-ans-643684

What, did Gerard Butler's motorbike crash into Ed Sheeran's bike? (joke)

Larry Rees (first name on the list), died on March 23rd: https://pancreaticcanceraction.org/news/ali-stunt-pays-tribute-selfless-campaigner-larry-rees/ I guess I update the list... Edit: List updated, 15/32 now.

Nah, Johnny Hallyday wouldn't be special enough to be your joker.

You can't get them all. Take a day off sometimes. The links stay for a while.

I''m going through my list at the moment (hence why I found the deaths of Jake Andrews and Jason Busby), and there was one person that I thought would be a "Joey Russ" joker.... The initials are J.H.

Jason Busby died on September 14th: https://www.3dbuzz.com/forum/threads/204446-Bad-News-Jason-Busby-is-sick/page12
