Eesti 151 Posted January 3, 2016 Well the good news is that he is also the 25 point pick on my inverse deadpool so win-win. Speaking of being smug...is there an award for this sweepstake, and when do you stop cheating bastards from putting in a late entry to steal my glory? Nobody could enter after 2015. And as for award? When you visit Estonia, then let me know. But before of that - try to win. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RadGuy 1,614 Posted January 20, 2016 This is kind of random, but I just found out Jimmy Carter was a distant cousin of June Carter Cash, singer and beloved wife of Johnny Cash. He was friends with them too. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sean 6,337 Posted January 20, 2016 This is kind of random, but I just found out Jimmy Carter was a distant cousin of June Carter Cash, singer and beloved wife of Johnny Cash. He was friends with them too. I do kind of feel sorry for Jimmy Carter. I mean yeah the guy is in remission and he still has his wife but to lose your grandson just after going into remission losing all your younger siblings before 65 and also losing friends and relatives like June and Johnny must be horrible in a sense that you have outlived nearly all your generation. I guess that is just the price one pays for getting old. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Despite being the oldest, she outlived all her Golden Girls co-stars, and it looks like she's going to outlive some MTM stars: Harper, Moore, maybe even Leachman, Asner and MacLeod.

Sean 6,337 Posted February 5, 2016 Well Jimmy does appear to be doing very well. He is still a well justified pick though based on his notability and cancer.If he had been omitted and died this year we would look very foolish. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gcreptile 10,979 Posted February 5, 2016 Isn't melanoma cancer on, uuhh. the top of the skin? I could imagine they can scrape it away as it returns, for a while... as long as it doesn't spread which might happen at any point. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GossipGabe 333 Posted February 6, 2016 Isn't melanoma cancer on, uuhh. the top of the skin? I could imagine they can scrape it away as it returns, for a while... as long as it doesn't spread which might happen at any point. Normally it is on the skin (although Oliver Sacks died of ocular melanoma, which is a primary cancer of the eye), but in Jimmy's case it has already spread to his liver and brains. Metastatic melanoma has carried a dismal prognosis until very recently, but in the last few years advances in immunotherapy have changed the picture. (That being said, it probably means he'll live a bit longer, rather than being cured.) 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

GossipGabe 333 Posted May 25, 2016 Carter scaling back as he resigns from, "prominent NGO position". I guess the fact that the Carter Center was not available for comment might be telling. OTOH, the fact that he'll now be an "emeritus Elder" is almost hilarious. (Being an Elder alongside the likes of Kofi Annan was already a typical "emeritus" position.) 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
