Predictor

Funny you should say that. I mentally changed your name to Y because that's what I ask myself whenever I read the drivel that you post.

Haha, yeah it was just a jibe at the Twitter name change. Predictor is too sacred for me to actually wanna change it.

Can I please have my username changed to x?

Ruschell Boone is a hit for me, 75 points.

God: ...That's odd, I just spotted that talented musician Tom Parker up here in Heaven. But he was so young, what happened? Angel: Have you already forgotten? You were bored one day and wanted to play a game of Chinese whispers with all the angels. Whoever it ended up with would have their fate sealed. God: Oh my Go...I mean self. No wonder I never run into Bob Barker around these parts. Hahahaha oh well, no harm no foul, innit?

...Umm, thank you for your input, person who I've never ever seen in my life. I'll be sure to take your feedback onboard because I care so much about your opinion. Are you one of those single thread posters? Look, here's the thing. When you like or react to any post, you get a notification. It's a form of communication and thus affects me. Would you like it if someone constantly rang the doorbell only to say that they liked something mundane you said 9 years ago? Bet you wouldn't. But ok, I'll give Diego the benefit of the doubt in this case. Maybe he's a big piano fan and there are huge rivalries in the piano world, and her death filled him with such joy because he's...I dunno lets say an Elton John fanboy, that he just had to press like because there's one less enemy? Maybe even opened a nice bottle of champagine from the basement to celebrate? Who knows? But really, I'm semi-retired anyways so I really don't want to revisit whatever old dross I may have posted over the years. New guideline: If an old post of mine either made you laugh or looks to have been ambitious (long list/some sort of "project"), then ok, like away. If not, then don't.

FOR THE LOVE OF GOD DIEGO, WILL YOU PLEASE STOP LIKING POSTS THAT ARE ALMOST AS OLD AS ALICE HERZ-SOMMER HERSELF????? Thanks.

I listened to some of his livestreams (not attentively all the way through tho) on Facebook when doing research for my DDP 2022 team. This was because information about his health was not in print anywhere. My impression at the time was that he seemed like a chill person, but it seems that he's more sinister than I thought. Kind of reminds me of Big Ed from 90 Day Fiance now, not least due to name, physically stature and creepiness. Funnily, this breaking news just made his obitability shoot through the roof. No way he won't get a QO now. A headline dream basically.

Uh oh, looks like Chucky got Chris Hansened... https://www.foxla.com/news/chucky-actor-accused-of-trying-to-meet-teen-for-sex

And here is proof for Irene Söderblom: https://www.ratsit.se/19211119-Irene_Eleonor_Soderblom_Lidingo/zLlFf6UPOOZIj6SAtbqbexHB8XMIGDczZuOi6qgnzqc

Ok, so that's one Wall Street gawker identified! ... Does anyone know if Kirk Douglas' sister Ida Sahr is still alive?

At one point, I thought he was the dude who did all the TCM intros and interviews.

Just to be clear (and for search engine purposes), "Chris Carins" is meant to be the Kiwi cricketer Chris Cairns. I made a typo in my PM.

For the record, my team ended up with 10 hits in total: Bouquet, Burgess, Perez, Hossain, Littlefeather, Marx, Pele, Steiner, Trintignant & Turnbull. This amounted to 108 points, which I think is right outside top 30.

No Eva Marie Saint this year either. Looks like we only have Angie Dickinson in the category of classic film actress. Isn't she in good health for her age?

Congratulations Spade. You truly are a deathpooling genius. 180 points!

Edit: Wrong thread.

My performance this year was so unexpectedly good that I am actually tempted to give it another go. It'll be the only thing I compete in this year. We'll see, I have a few days left to decide...

Thanks, completely missed that. You know, I'm actually an excellent deathpooler because my picks do end up dead. There's just this tiny little problem of them happening years and decades afterwards.

Picking 95+ was risky because you never know which ones will give you bonuses. In the end, I am happy with 5 solos and 6 duos and no non-bonus hit. 25th place (so far) with 65 points is decent for what I set out to do. Although I feel kinda robbed because Eileen Ryan ended up getting obits from major newspapers. Both of my replacements are still alive...

Pelé: "Doctor, I saw the footage of my cells and I have to say that it is the most awful thing I have ever seen in my life. Things are looking grimmer than I thought." Doctor: "What footage? What are you talking about?" Pelé: "I mean this video right here." Doctor: Umm...Mister Pelé, that's your Atari football game from 1981..." https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LSEASVJIEx4

Imagine this sentence outside the context of the forum.

Wow, I can't believe it. Not a bad way to retire from deathpooling after 10 years of awfulness. Don't think I will win, unless my joker dies before the end of the year.

Dude, these two posts wouldn't even make the top 500 of my greatest posts, so why am I getting likes 8 years later? Maybe you just really disliked Bergerac and whoever Shirley is? @diego
