I make my score 1093 points, 365 each from Walker and Rüütel, then 363 from Keleti.

maryportfuncity 10,753 Posted Thursday at 13:55 And another in our series of daily Deathlist dishes This hot talent is Amelita Ramos, latterly (29 Dec) she's been lapping up a slice of birthday cake, her 98th to be accurate. Q/o hopes here are realistic given the low-hanging nature of the Deathrace, the Phillippino media operating quite a few English language news sources and generally marking the demise of their first ladies as and when. Granted, our lassie ceased being first lady in 1998, so her continued hold on life has escaped all but one of the current Deathrace entrants. Therefore, I thought I'd share the love a little here and keep this thread lively until we cash in a winner, soonish if the current form of our leaders is anything to go by.

Looking at the tonnage of (381) names on the masterlist it might be useful to introduce a few of the - ahem - cult heroes, starting with...Jytte Abildstrøm Danish dame of stage and screen, known to, well...Danes mainly from such unforgettable crowd pleasers as Svend, Knud og Valdemar (1970) and Askepot (1973) and known to her social services as someone already in their nineties. Wikipedia says her "active" years stretch from 1956 to "present" though it offers no evidence of any production since 2012. Maybe the clamour for selfies with her has blocked her route to auditions for the last twelve years, who knows? Oh, and her son is an actor who appeared in Borgen. Sadly, she's dead now, but needs something obitable. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

maryportfuncity 10,753 Posted Thursday at 21:58 Close of play 2 Jan - Drol could be sitting on an additional 363 points if any half-reputable English language news source sees fit to mark the passing of Jytte Abildstrøm. On current form I can't see this competition outstaying its welcome! And, let's have a look at the old scoreboard! Summer in Transylvania - 1093 Drol - 1091 An Fear Beag - 728 Book - 728 RadGuy - 728 Bibliogryphon - 726 Hold the post, so this source is in Danish but has a clickable English option: https://underholdning.tv2.dk/kendte/2025-01-02-jytte-abildstroem-er-doed Drol - 1454 Summer in Transylvania - 1093 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Aye, what I don't see is how many other people might be fancying him across a few dead pools, he's in my DDP line up as well, I'm thinking it a reasonable punt on someone in his 40s with a chance of a bonus by way of death. Only count when they count, mind, I had Trump on this year's DDP. If that shooter had thought less like a video game and more like a proper sniper and gone for the boiler plate shot into his large torso...the world would be a different place now.

maryportfuncity 10,753 Posted Friday at 16:28 A lacklustre day in a dead pool that was postively bubbling a day ago. I'm seeing nowt on the Wikipedia to suggest I need to tweak the scoreboard.

maryportfuncity 10,753 Posted Friday at 16:35 Deadpooling dish of the day Zoya Boguslavskaya - centernarian Russian poet, essayist, playwright, novelist and, erm...critic. A useful guess being that she only lasted to 100 where she lives by ensuring the criticism was directed at the work of other writers and not those in power since the second world war. Either way, @MalePoster has heard of her and reckons her worth a wager in his dead pooling team hereabouts. Like me, he's currently a whopping 1454 off the lead, so the sudden demise of today's dead pooling dish would be welcome. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
