That's all we need - a transvestite butler.

Enjoy the sunshine, soak up the banter.

Don't worry, the future is in photosynthesis. It pays my bills yet if I tell you any more, I'd have to kill you Please tell us more. I'm really interested in photosynthesis. Could it be changed if chlorophyll were genetically engineered (could clorophyll be genetically engineered?) to be less green? If, for instance, plants could be engineered to absorb light across the full spectrum, would that make them white? If it did would that help reflect sunlight, thus counteracting global warming? I'm sure this is a dumb proposition but I would appreciate some informed analysis of the dumbness. Absorbing more light would make them black. White would suggest they absorbed nothing. [which, incidentally also accounts for why black coffee is hotter than white coffee, and Jennifer Lopez (JLo) is hotter than Susan Boyle (SBo)] Isn't it the milk that does that?

Meh. Not much recent news on her I admit, but she was in a pretty serious way last year and I didn't find any evidence that it was all fixed yet. Her most recent blog entry heavily implies that cancer is still an issue for her (without going into any detail about her current prognosis). Actually, it's worth a read - An Angry Post - and should be compulsory reading for all would-be ranters who visit this site: it's an excellent study in how to rant with passion, intelligence and eloquence. Great blog. I saw another one on similar lines recently moaning about all those news reports that use words like "battling" with cancer, when he didn't feel he was battling at all. With such an articulate woman it's difficult to guess the date of demise. But if she's still around next year, I would want her for my list.

You said intercourse. I think he means between courses.

Sex sandals? Wouldn't mind a pair of them... mmmm sex sandals With just a hint of camel toe.

It looks a good list to my untrained eye. Nicely balanced. Could be a record year.

She's got a better chance of scoring Moosey points than Frank Deasy has of getting you any. Shit. Not that it matters.

Moosey I'm fascinated at your passion for Sara Douglass. She looks pretty well to me. Do enlighten us.

It's none of my business, of course, but I find your lack of self-assertion highly annoying. The DDP has an extensive instruction page and is hotly debated all over the DL-forum. For God's sake, man! Find out for yourself! Especially your first post on the DDP ("What is this DDP game you play? How can I get in for 2010??") is showing utter laziness. If you're unwilling even to use a search engine (www.google.com is the most common one) I'm really sceptical about the value of your subscription to Deathlist. Oh, all this negative energy! I'm glad Christmas is coming up, the candles, the candy and the cannabis (hey, I'm Dutch, you know! And what else starts with 'can', apart from 'cannelloni'?) might soften my temper. Cannibals and candida for starters? Ironically the security word was Cannock Candida is one of those things I'd rather not consider as adding to my Christmassy mood... How about a little Canned Heat?

My God, he had a squid beak.

Get more cheese on your endless bagel.

While there is nothing un-American about - freedom in the land of the free.

Not sure I'd want to fly this airline.

I heard they found a prune up his arse. Police suspect date rape.

Just while you may be mulling over possible selections for the General Election 2010 it's worth reading this as a little reminder of the people we could be tempted to vote in to office - from one who was there. And Lest we forget.

What are people who know the business and the dangers to say? Don't do it, its too dangerous? That would be a bit hypocritical. All accidents are waiting to happen. If you never tried to cross the road, you'd never get run over. What are you after MPFC, an accident free society where no-one tries to do anything? Disabled people, or any other people for that matter, don't go to the sea in boats to be safe. Sometimes I wear a life jacket, sometimes I don't. That's a matter of personal judgement. In the same way I pee off the back of the boat rather than squat in the heads. That choice ended the life of Eric Tarbarly one the world's greatest single-handed sailors (if not the greatest single-handed peer). But it was his choice.

A lot of good things have come out of America. Not sure baseball is one of them but what about astronauts? Astronauts were pretty good. Hamburgers? Maybe not. The Osmonds? Mmmm. Elvis? Definitely. Rap music? Fifty cents? George Gershwin? Maggie Thatcher? Oops, .

Nah, this is Russ Abbott.

No, you just can't spell. Lots of people can't spell but some take the trouble to use a dictionary, capital letters and apostrophes where they're needed. Dyslexia is a trendy label to disguise the unwillingness of lazy f'ucks to sit down and learn stuff.

Dolly Parton caught pneumatic flu years ago and survived.

A timeline of how news of the death broke on the web. Google very slow to move on it.
