The legacy article is new... the news is just going out it seems.

[Spade_Cooley 9,022]

Looks like I'll get to use the pun "Hungerford massacre" very soon...

[gcreptile 10,234]

Not dead (well, officially), but shared pick Malik Shabazz had a heart pump installed, and remains unresponsive in a coma:

This good enough for Hungerford? https://www.fnlondon.com/articles/nutmeg-founder-nick-hungerford-dies-20230711

Hungerford massacre. Which, ironically, takes gcreptile's score up to 16.

Cheri Pies has died, too. Already on July 4th. This is a bit much, isn't it?

When I found that article that had a little line on it saying that she was in hospice, I thought that she was a goner in May. Don't know if I "discovered" her, but I'm glad that she was a hit in this game.

Had Cheri Pies last month and dropped her. Not that it would make much difference at this point.

It's true, you made me pick her.

gcreptile's scouting trip to AC Lesbian Academics In Their 70s has paid off in bounds, with their captaincy hit now being followed by the death of Cheri Pies. Pies was clinical professor emerita at UC Berkeley School of Public Health, wrote the groundbreaking same-sex surrogacy text Considering Parenthood: A Workbook for Lesbians, and inspired a Warrant song.

gcr then scored directly from kick-off thanks to Dr Ahmad Ibrahim, aka Mat London, a Malaysian film director who was serving as president of the Film Directors' Association of Malaysia when he breathed his last. gcreptile took him to the mat and as a result now has a 24-point lead. It's anyone's game.

gcreptile now has the top two scores in DL Cup history, both achieved this year. And this is currently the biggest squonking on record.

Fucking hell.  When I saw that name I assumed it was either a female wrestler or a porn star.

I think there was a drag queen with that name on one series of RPDG

Haha, yeah, when you google her there are more hits for infamous Season 12 contestant Sherry Pie...who turned out to be a sexual predator after filming but before syndication, so they awkwardly cut him/her out of most scenes.

Did you notice the recent general lesbian check-out?

Lilli Vincenz in June: https://www.yahoo.com/entertainment/trailblazing-lesbian-activist-lilli-vincenz-174628548.html

Marge Summit in May: https://blockclubchicago.org/2023/05/22/lesbian-icon-marge-summit-dies-at-87-if-you-messed-with-the-lgbtq-community-you-were-messing-with-marge/

And recent DDP hit Anita Cornwell.

 

Maybe my DDP pick Andrea Gibson is next? (No, she isn't...)

 

The score record is easier with fewer players => more uniques. If this had been 1st or 2nd round, I guess it would only be 18-20 points. But Mat London might not have been the final hit.

Former pick Oommen Chandy dies.

My pick Bob Sakr died on the 15th according to a Facebook post of the "Lebanese Australian":

How do I do this....

...does this work?

Well, they posted it 6 hours ago. So maybe there'll be an obit tomorrow or so.

No new death, but weirdly, Cheri Pies even got a New York Times obit AND a DDP QO:
