Spade_Cooley 9,581 Posted October 28, 2022 1. A South African actor, mid-60s, who was in at least one Nelson Mandela biopic. 2. Spanish footballer and manager, late 80s, no international caps despite scoring heavily for one of La Liga's mid-tier teams like Villareal. 3. Someone from a central European nation, early 80s, who has a ridiculous list of jobs that reads something like "TV personality, war criminal, veterinarian, Minister for Culture (1993-2015)". 4. Guy with a red link who played bass/keyboards in the 80s for a band who were famous in the 70s. 5. Italian politician listed as "deputy," which you immediately misread as "deputy PM". 2 8 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Tbh you don't even need the Italian, my brain does that automatically with all of them. Even politicians from countries I know don't have deputy PMs! There's also nearly always the "Random Asian politician in their 70s no one West of Tehran has heard of before, except Drol whose read their three-part autobiography series". 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The Immortal 640 Posted October 30, 2022 From my experience it's usually something like this. An obscure actress, late 80s with an unusual dual nationality (something like Ecuadorian-Canadian, Brazilian-German, Filipino-French etc) who starred in like 3 or 4 films in her immigrant country. American Football player, mid 70s who played in two teams with at least one of these teams being the Green Bay Packers or Oakland Raiders. South American poet usually from Argentina or Brazil in their 70s or 80s. Scandinavian Olympic athlete who doesn't have a photo in their Wiki page. Highly ranked and decorated British military officer, late 80s to mid 90s. American politician in the House of Representatives of his/her state, late 60s, died from cancer. Japanese artist in their 60s or 70s that somehow has a wiki page even though almost nobody knows him/her. Indian actor, early 60s, died of a heart attack. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
