They all count :-)

Surely a working actor since the 60s with a bunch of small credits in big productions is not "one of the most obscure hits of the year"

[The Old Crem 3,576]

I must admit when I first checked his wiki I thought he was just some Chicago theatre actor who was only obiting based on his age. I missed his film career including very well known films.

Might be a generational thing, TOC presumably too young to have seen Men In Black at the cinemas and just knows Will Smith as the cuckold with a bald hotwife.

[Commtech Sio Bibble 2,008]

Richard Franklin QO. Should also get party pooper bonus I think?

[The Old Crem 3,576]

When did the Metro leave the qualifying list.

I'm not sure what the DDP bio for Maj-Britt Hakansson is about... "died possibly in 1995". 

There's no doubt she reached her centenary. Press coverage from 2019 here.

I've just noticed that, thanks to Richard Franklin being my joker and a party pooper, I've equalled my best ever finish on the DDP. Of course, could still go either way, but I'm happy, however it finishes.

There are a few bios need updating - Ronald Isley is "Currently in prison for tax evasion" according to his bio, despite being released in 2010.

I know I said I was retiring from dead pooling but I decided to send in an entry anyways cause why not. Definitely nowhere as well researched as my past teams but I couldn’t really resist. Oh and the counterculture theme is back as per usual

I'm sure you'll do well- your far too young to retire!

With Gaston and Delors, that gives me two more hits on the DDP. still doesn't get me anywhere in the top 100.

Welcome to my world!!

[Ulitzer95 12,431]

306 hits so far. Glock is a guarnteed 307th. Of Kernan and Breaks, I reckon at least one of them will QO. I reckon we'll get about 310–312 hits this year.

Darn...lost the lead of theme league to GGG in the last week...if nothing changes it's the second year in a row I end up in the second place with two different theme teams

Another one from the list of the lost

 

I am not sure if this counts, not am I sure if it SHOULD count.

 

In the comments section is a mention that "Eve Bunting died on October 1 at the age of 94."

Sorry, the comments don't count. Otherwise you could just make random comments anywhere yourself.

That is what I thought, but never noticed it mentioned in the rules.

As I said before I not am I sure if it SHOULD count.
