Spade_Cooley 9,540 Posted June 7, 2022 Also, weird language usage - for instance: Quote The interpreter of Tamo cello He was the father of a girl and a few days before the accident he had expressed in his nets his full happiness at having been able to buy the land where he would build the house for his daughter.

Spade_Cooley 9,540 Posted June 7, 2022 So in tribute to the last few posts, I decided to let Google machine-translate the latest update back-and-forth into English a few times. Quote Nubia is the new name of the Argentine music movement in Argentina. Such a new name was not registered until Covid lost its first food supplier during the closing period. In 2021, he made the top 10 in his homeland - he sang "Indo No, Rindo" with Pero Primo, R. Jotta, DJ Plaga and DT Billardo. Cars are a big advantage in the Cambrian world, but here it is more: May 24th. Nuba races a white Peugeot without a helmet. It took a week, but his announcement received seven points more than Devontrip. Joey Russ 7 vs Salmon Mousse 3 DevonDeathTrip 0 vs gcreptile 7 1 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sir Creep 7,070 Posted June 14, 2022 Well well well according to one Jonathon Feit on Facebook, Dr Greg Mears has been 'out of hospice' since March 21. Bad news for DDT. Jonathon Feit March 21 "From the #ManOfFaith department, I'm thrilled to tell the #MobileMedical world that our friend Greg Mears has come out of hospice!" 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

gcreptile 10,979 Posted June 21, 2022 Jay Hopler has died: https://www.mcsweeneys.net/articles/jay-hopler-1970-2022 My joker differential in our match. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Spade_Cooley 9,540 Posted June 21, 2022 And the DL Cup gets hit by the Hopler effect. Jay Hopler was a poet who, in addition to his own works, was also noted for his translations of the output of Georg Trakl. His most recent anthology, Still Life, was started the day after he was diagnosed with metastatic prostate cancer and was published just one week ago. DDT finally gets on the scoreboard for the semis, but unfortunately for him he falls an extra three points behind thanks to gcreptile's captaincy pick.

Annami 85 Posted June 27, 2022 According to this, Nigel Taylor has finally died. https://www.wellington-today.co.uk/news/death-of-former-council-chairman-552277 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gcreptile 10,979 Posted June 27, 2022 Alright, seems like the Deadpooling gods want to send me into the second Cup finale in a row. And no matter how that goes, I think it might just be my last competitive Cup game. It's been fun, but yeah, it also took quite some time to always be on top of the news. I might be up for hosting in 2024 though, if I manage to hand my part in the DDP over by then. Edit: Oh yeah, and I think I will drop my "extremely minor names" list, my Cup storage, so to say, similar to last year. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Spade_Cooley 9,540 Posted June 27, 2022 Yep, it seems Taylor had a terminal cancer diagnosis and couldn't shake it off. Nigel Taylor was the former chairman of Somerset County Council, who in November 2020 said that copper wiring shouldn't be installed as "gypsies would fill their pockets with it". He was diagnosed with cancer just months later, which is exactly why I always buy heather when asked. Anyway, Joey Russ and gcreptile both increase their leads and it's pretty obvious what the final is going to be now...

Spade_Cooley 9,540 Posted June 28, 2022 Dame Deborah James' death is very much a case of You, Me and the Big (c), as both our trailers in this tournament captained the headteacher-turned-blogger-turned-charity-campaigner. DevonDeathTrip probably still has too far a gap to make up on gcreptile, but with Salmon Mousse only four adrift, Joey Russ is facing squeaky-bum time. Just like... too soon?

gcreptile 10,979 Posted June 30, 2022 Just a small curiosity while I wait with excitement how far DDT's rapid final lap is going to take him... ...El Noba would have received a QO through a mention in the Billboard print magazine, which for some reason has been posted here: https://www.billboard.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/06/june-24-2022-billboard-bulletin.pdf (page 25, right column, close to the end) The death of Terry Gardner gives our match the third-highest combined score in Cup history. I think we can both be pleased with the result. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
