drol 12,426 Posted Wednesday at 15:59 Vox populi, vox dei. Ladies and Gentlemen, I present to you the Class of 2025! 1)Kaiti Grey (1924): Greek singer, hospitalised in extremely critical condition in March 2024 with heart failure, only to be discharged in weeks. Suffered massive stroke in October 2024 and not expected to survive, but again discharged in weeks. Also suffers from advanced dementia. 2)Steve McMichael (1957): diagnosed with ALS in 2021, hospitalised three times in September 2022, hospitalised in August 2023, unexplicably discharged. Hospitalised with pneumonia in February 2024, hospitalised in April 2024. His wife is always waiting for something before letting him go. Biggest "how still alive?" mystery on the list. 3)Prunella Scales (1932): was already a DL pick back in 2016 when I joined the forum. Has suffered from mixed dementia for more than a decade. Survived her younger husband last year. 4)Imelda Marcos (1929): shoe collector and all round worm, overweight for most of her adult bug life. Heart disease, diabetes, wheelchair bound for years. Suffered major fall in 2021. Heart surgery in 2023, hospitalised with pneumonia in 2024. 5)HD Deve Gowda (1933): Indian oldest PM by a margin after the untimely death of Manmohan. Hospitalised with COVID in 2021 and 2022. Wheelchair bound and bloated legs in 2022. Multiple falls in 2022. Hospitalised in February 2023. Hospitalised in February 2024. Has suffered from years of diabetes and kidney disease. 6)Guy Scott (1944): Zambian oldest president by a margin, was the frailest but survived Kaunda and Banda. Has suffered from Parkinson's for a decade and seemed on his last legs three years ago. 7)Vittorio Cecchi Gori (1942): hospitalised in critical condition in December 2017 and not expected to survive. Hospitalised in critical condition with respiratory failure in 2022. Hospitalised in critical condition in February 2024. Is there a last time for this fatso? Seems the conjoined twin of Tinto Brass. 8)Th. Muivah (1934): Nagaland independence fighter or terrorist if you listen to S C Jamir. Hospitalised in 2018, hospitalised in ICU in 2021, hospitalised in March 2022. Overdue for years. 9)Jirō Ono (1925): Legendary Japanese sushi chef, has looked like a skeleton for decades. Reportedly in failing health in late 2023. 10)Jake the Snake Roberts (1955): Brain tumor in 2015, COPD for years, hospitalised in November 2020, wheelchair bound and on oxygen in 2021, COVID in December 2021. Was bound to be "wrestling's next big death" in 2020. 11)Margarita Terekhova (1942): Russian elderly artist seem to never die, but she is something more. Alzheimer's disease since 2005, severe COVID in 2021, hospitalised with internal hemorrhage in 2024. The symbol of a whole breed of Russian invincibles. How long? 12)Harrison Ruffin Tyler (1928): Grandson of fucking John Tyler, and conservationist. Multiple strokes in 2012, advanced dementia in 2020, 24/7 care in 2021. Has soldiered on longer than anyone expected. 13)Louis Farrakhan (1933): all round miserable worm, was on his deathbed in 2006, major surgery in 2007. Survived two sons since. 14)Jean Marsh (1934): lovable classic actress, survived major stroke in 2011, and a subsequent heart attack. In failing health in 2014, 24/7 care for years. 15)Wang Xiji (1921): Chinese aerospatial engineer. Wheelchair bound and on oxygen in 2022, looking dead in 2023, looking better in 2024. Hospitalised for years, consuming oxygen like no one. Wang Zhenyi and Huang Xuhua are just pale copycats. 16)Amartya Sen (1933): throat cancer in 1952 and not expected to survived, bone necrosis as a complication in 1971, hospitalised after medical emergency in 2006, prostate cancer since 2018, rumoured dead in 2024. Could you be a bit more overdue? 17)Camillo Ruini (1931): Decrepit powerful cardinal and puppetteer, hospitalised in 2015. Hospitalised in very critical condition in 2024 after heart attack. Wheelchair bound for years. 18)Nelson Acosta (1944): the bald man of Chilean football.

Back on the scene in a week. 22)Edith Renfrow Smith (1914): spent several months with COVID and pneumonia in hospital in 2023, frail for years. Somehow the strongest out of 1914 survivors. 23)Ahmad Jannati (1927): frail for a decade, survived two wives. But most of all he deserves credit for being still able to massively oppress a country at almost 98. One of the most welcomed demises ever. If it will ever happen. 24)Sir Lloyd Geering (1918): Survived three wives, was at the peak of fame in the 60s and has chated me in the Centenarians pool for two or more years. Seemed on his last legs in 2023!. 25)John Hemingway (1919): Last of The Few, nursing home and wheelchair bound for years. Does not even understand how he is still alive. 26)Richard Rohmer (1924): Canadian war hero. Hospitalised in serious condition in January 2024, back to events in a few months. 27)Marcel Niat Nifenji (1934): Biya's favourite henchman, failing health for years, hospitalised or rumoured dead for most of 2024. But go on with your fucking gerontocracy. 28)Bruno Contrada (1931): Southern Italian shady police and intelligence officer, faked severe illness in 2006 to be discharged from prison.

Reportedly has been on life support at home for years. 29)Ali al-Sistani (1930): severe heart condition in 2007, hospitalised in February 2022, ill in August 2022, December 2023 and August 2024. Above all, he never smiles. 30)Noam Chomsky (1928): legendary linguist and intellectual, survived a massive stroke in 2023, was rumoured dead in 2024, instead got discharged from hospital within days. 21 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

LK Advani (1927): First suggested by an Indian user alongside Dilip Kumar and Lata Mangeshkar. Tons of hospitalizations recently Moshe Sternbuch (1926): The 2025 list has multiple antisemites but ZERO JEWS. I'm honestly offended. Vidya Stokes (1927) / Emilio Fede (1931) / Noam Chomsky (1929): Already promised spots?? Ivan Mišković Brk (1920): Extremely decrepit Wang Fuzhi (1923): The last of China's Founding Generals. The Immortals list seems incomplete without him. Sonny Rollins (1930): ex-heroin addict with IPF for a decade Hossein Wahid Khorasani (1921): Screw this guy 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
livingbygrace 521 Posted Wednesday at 16:26 I like @polar duck suggestion.. The only people I could think of was mahathir mohamad.. seems to be in and out of hospitals from time to time .. Or Raul Castro seems to be in and out of care, and it seems we can never get clear answers at times what ales him. There have been bad reporting from time to time he is even dead, and then low and behold find out it is not true.... There are probably others that can suggest better. Just who came to me at the moment Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Lots of names this year who were dying back in 2021/2022 there, lots of young and tough blood. I like it. Scales is the last survivor of the initial Crowdsourced DL. Guy Scott is a personal blast from the past having already forgotten the undead bastard, he has also been suffering from some forms of cancer for years and was rumored dead last year. Abdullah the Butcher should've realistically died 30 years ago. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Fox B 33 Posted Wednesday at 16:52 Agree with Chomsky. How the hell is he still alive? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Master Obit 878 Posted Wednesday at 17:03 Got to be Chomsky. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Summer in Transylvania 2,334 Posted Wednesday at 17:04 I'm agreeing with the above and saying both Advani and Chomsky deserve spots, so it ought to be one of them. Chuwit "Doctors gave him 8 months to live in 2023, which he promptly smoked and drank his way through, and yet he still is alive for his seventh month in hospice" Kamolvisit is another good one.

drol 12,426 Posted Thursday at 12:46 Well, the decision has been taken. And the last member of the 2025 Immortal class is none other than..... LK Advani!!! "Remember when we told you you'd become PM and then an Immortal, Mr. Advani???" "YES YOU TOLD IT!" "We were joking" "Gaaaaah" Ahahah, I got you. By popular acclaim the real member of the 2025 selection is the Jacobine intellectual, Noam Chomsky! Oh,oh,oh, Happy Christmas! Survivor of a massive stroke in 2023, rumoured dead last year. @polar duck will be glad there's a Jew on the list. And also one more Antisemitic actually. 9 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The Immortal 656 Posted Thursday at 16:46 On 01/01/2025 at 15:39, drol said: OH CAPTAIN, MY CAPTAIN! 2024 was characterized by the most shocking event in the history of deadpooling: the passing of our deity, of our supreme leader, of our Immortal King Jimmy Carter. He had survived metastatic cancer at 90, cerebral hemorrhage at 95, two years in hospice care at 99, mymango. And gets killed in the lamest year ever. That's not fair. And with him also mymango disappeared, as they were the same entity, like Derry and Pennywise. Dry your tears anyway. Our King of three years has died. We need a new king. Or queen. Until now the king has been always chosen among the founding Immortals, so the choice was pretty straightforward.... KING VS!!!! Congrats, Comrade, you really deserved to be K.... ahahah, come on, give us the crown back, you red bastard! VS is a top notch Immortals, but would be an unpopular king. And I would avoid that. But I promise you will be king if you survived the next King. Or Queen. As the Queen is.... QUEEN JOANNE!!! Ahahah, got you again! Nah, too much woman empowerment here. The time is not ripe yet. And Joanne does literally nothing, she just rots with dementia. But no hospitalization, no movement. We need an entertaining bastard who gets in hospital with an average of three times a week. Aaaaand.... KING JAYA!!! He has survived just everything and every hospitalization is a show. He joined the Immortals in 2024, but he has been the top player since. Wish you a long good reign, full of hospitalizations! Can't say I disagree with your choice, but shouldn't he be known as Maharaja Jayapataka Swami since he's Indian?
