(asking as someone with Yarrow as their first sub) We have started to make rulings. I'll be announcing the DQs shortly before we open up shop, so probably roughly a week's time. 7 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

She was Miss America runner-up, had a couple top 5 hit songs, and was all over the TV and hanging out with Bob Hope, only to open her mouth and have a vile opinion (rooted in what else - religion) that would put her on the wrong side of history. To go from that to being quite literally forgotten over the past 20 years or so… quite a fall from grace. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Death Impends 8,314 Posted January 10 Also, for a Drop 40 sneak peek, Yarrow made it very comfortably on 70+ teams, and Black Bart comfortably on 50+ teams. Le Pen currently isn't on it (33 teams, the current #40 is on 34), but there's still a few teams to be entered, so he still has a decent shot. 11 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Eesti 159 Posted January 10 On 07/01/2025 at 19:44, Eesti said: The one most likely to die has died from my list. Next should be Esther Rantzen. I was betting Black Bart would be my next hit after Esther Rantzen, but I will accept him going before Rantzen. So - 2/20 down. Next - Esther Rantzen.

Whitehouse 888 Posted January 11 First hit for the Last original band member alive III. Totally missed the farewell message of Grim up North. So sad to see you leave but if you feel its time to leave its ok. Indeed a lot of time is wasted on this site, though its fun to be here. But as you said there are more things in this world worthwile. Sorry to hear about that health scare of your wife. I hope she pulls through. Thanks for being here.
