gcreptile 10,979 Posted July 28, 2023 Alright.... first update after the replacement period, and some of you made good use of it by picking British business founder Nick Hungerford, who was kind enough to announce his imminent demise on the BBC. Then we have the two giant hits George Alagiah and Tony Bennett. Points for everyone (almost)! Nick Hungerford wasn't the only replacement hit actually. MariNisia scores with the unique pick Victoria Amelina, a Ukrainian author who wrote about the terrors of war, and then fell victim to them herself. Sinead O'Connor was also picked, just once, by Pedro. No points pending on the kind of death in this pool... Milan Kundera was a DeathList hit, and so naturally, also a hit here. The OTHER Frank Field was a hit, lest we forget. Two players score, among them Cpt Hemlock who seems to have picked the guy in everything. Well, I hope that exactly those two players picked THIS Frank Field. Horst-Dieter Höttges was a unique hit for The Spinosaurus, well done. The dementia footballers seem to fall less frequently than we'd like to think. But Höttges did and got the QO with ease. Quite a few teams also score with Mutulu Shakur, the alternative healthcare/terrorism guy. Even looking now, he still only got the Yahoo QO. Neither Daily Mail nor Sun bothered to follow up their frequent coverage of him a couple of years ago. But it counts, lucky us. Oscar winner Alan Arkin was also a hit, some time ago. Two people score, Cpt. Hemlock is among the two, again. The Spinosaurus is the other. CalebH scores a unique hit with former governor of Connecticut, Lowell Weicker. One of the last "Rockefeller Republicans", he was on some issues more liberal than his democratic successor in the Senate, Joe Lieberman. Must have also been one of the last times this happened. TorvaMessor scores uniquely with Harry Markowitz. I had to be reminded that his Economist obit counted for the DDP, and thus, here. But since then, he also got the Financial Times, so it's alright anyway. Markowitz was important because he invented a certain formula, a bit out of thin air, to value financial products. When I learned about it, it didn't really make sense to me. But sometimes, you just use something because it works, and there is no alternative... And I think that's it. Oommen Chandy waits for a QO (well, drol does), I'm afraid it won't come... His second indian non-QO after Parkash Singh Badal... Unfortunately, this is not the Alt Obituaries Pool. Summer in Transilvania waits for an obit for Wilhelm Büsing, the "oldest living Olympian"..maybe something at the end of the year? Relatively unlikely though. The scoreboard shows that Banana might just have made the decisive step ahead of his closest followers by picking Nick Hungerford. That pick also makes Joey climb onto the podium.
