BuffaloPhil 928 Posted April 11, 2021 4 pre-start deaths and fuck all in the 100 days since we started. Bit unlucky all round really. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

TQR 14,398 Posted May 1, 2021 Holy SHIT!! En Passant’s DOUBLE DUKAKIS has taken a wallop. He takes the lead. RIP Olympia, and thank you. A Bunch of Punts, our DDP team, also gets a hit, for 6 lovely points, taking us to joint 354th! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

gcreptile 10,978 Posted June 30, 2021 Donald Rumsfeld is a hit for me.... so for me he was a known unknown, or something like that. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TQR 14,398 Posted July 2, 2021 God this thing takes up all my free time, for fuck sake. 1 Rumsfeld coming up. You might join me in not being upset in the slightest at the loss of this old twat.

TQR 14,398 Posted August 23, 2021 Wake up, little Punt Pool, wake up. Don Everly, off of brothers, (these ones below, in fact) is dead. My nan’s corpse is deeply upset.

Death Impends 7,977 Posted August 24, 2021 Forgot that I had Everly here. Now all I need to win is for Connie Francis to go on a permanent V-A-C-A-T-I-O-N, Brenda Lee to turn into Sweet Nothins, Frankie Avalon to head to Venus, and Paul Anka to die of embarrassment after remembering he did "You're Having My Baby."

TQR 14,398 Posted December 1, 2021 With a month to go, let’s talk briefly about the DDP. This year’s current effort has, as expected, taken the 26th Derby Dead Pool by storm, beating literally some teams with this sterling effort: With 6 points, we are currently joint-415th! Tough act to follow, but here is the official Punt Pool 2022 DDP entry, comprised of (nearly) an alphabet of pleasing punt picks from our masterlist, and who we can thank for them: Art Garfunkel (msc) Brigitte Bardot (time, Caleb) Chubby Checker (Dying Probably) David Lynch (Handy) Edmund White (Book) Frankie Avalon (Death Impends) Ghislaine Maxwell (Kenny) Helmut Berger (Caleb) Irma Thomas (TQR) Joe Pesci (Rover) Katharine, Duchess of Kent (Biblio, Toast) Len Goodman (GUB) Michelle Phillips (Handy) Norman Tebbit (GUB, Rover) Paul Anka (Death Impends) Roman Polanski (QTips) Steve Buscemi (msc) Tom Baker (Biblio) Ursula Andress (Old Lady) Willie Nelson (Banana, Roey, Engineer) RESERVES: Val Kilmer (Newjack) Yoko Ono (Reptile, Spade, Markb4) Sixix Ninine (Don’t Fear The Reaper, Roey) 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
msc 18,477 Posted December 1, 2021 Ah, Steve Buscemi. He seems OK just now (afaik) but he was working as a fireman in NY after September 11th, sad cancer news at some point wouldn't surprise. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It was such an uninspiring pick it slipped me by. Anyway, let’s have a look at the absolute dreamboat. What it means, though, is we have a new leader. The Engineer is 40% complete! See, mid-2023 we’ll be done. Piss easy, this game.
