Sir Creep 6,996 Posted March 9, 2022 I was told this guy wasn’t a celebrity. I’m assuming the hospital CEO, the surgeon, and the philanthropist who funded the hospital all qualify, but the patient of the historic medical procedure…well of course not. https://abcnews.go.com/amp/Health/wireStory/us-man-1st-pig-heart-transplant-dies-months-83339981 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Spade_Cooley 8,918 Posted March 12, 2022 A six (6)-day cup dry spell is broken... by the fucking gamerunner. The whole point of the gamerunner entering a team is that you're meant to have some easy meat to knock out so he can concentrate on running the damn thing. I have to research another month while answering 30 messages about whether this butcher from Schmuckville, Idaho is a valid pick? Anyway.... I'm not going to pretend I ever watched Braxton Family Values but from my understanding Traci, while not the most vocally gifted of the Braxton sisters, was one of the most memable, and her side-eye reactions will doubtless live on in gif form long after her body has been consumed by worms.

Spade_Cooley 8,918 Posted March 19, 2022 Shahabuddin Ahmed was a two-time president of Bangladesh whose Wikipedia entry doesn't really have enough information for me to say anything funny about him. Actually, when he retired in 2001 he said: ""I am an angel if anything is done according to their desire, otherwise I am a devil." And he's an angel now, with his wings giving gcreptile four points for a unique hit. However, he still lags behind your gamerunner on average age of hits. Michael MacEwan I felt very able to disqualify as a pick because I found him as well, and couldn't find any reference to him online beforehand that wasn't from his church. If you want to be a qualifying hit as a reverend, you really should commit at least three acts of child abuse.

Sir Creep 6,996 Posted March 22, 2022 Who knew that it would be the RUSSIAN generals who would die? By Christ we ALL chose the Ukrainian leaders - SirC even went a bit astray looking for a solo - and we were all wrong. I feel violated as a Deadpooler. Maybe you do too, I don’t know. I just know I’m practised at the art and this result is unacceptable to common sensibilities. I do not accept it. The deadpooling industry has been violated.

Spade_Cooley 8,918 Posted March 22, 2022 Looks like things got a bit too spicy for the Pepper. Yep, legendary territory-era wrestler Pepper Martin has died, and to the eternal shame of myself and the rest of the DL faithful who keenly track grappler mortality it wasn't any of us who noted he was on his last legs. Instead, alt obits guy comes flying off the turnbuckle with a stunning eight points to leave Sideik facing a 2.9 count.
