Cowboy Ronnie 78 Posted January 6, 2006 Do I win a prize for nominating him?? GU, you win the respect and gratitude of your fellow DL'ers, and at this time of year, surely that's the greatest gift of all. A quick over/under on the number of people who will post messages along the lines of "Lou Rawls has died" on this thread, after this message. Bookies offer 3.

Anubis the Jackal 77 Posted January 6, 2006 Do I win a prize for nominating him?? You do indeed! A hearty pat on the back (virtual) from us here at Deathlist and a family pack of Andrex. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Windsor 2,233 Posted January 6, 2006 Lou Rawls is deathlists first success of 2006. He is also deathlists 138th success since 1987. The 2006 list is already in 17th place shared with 1987, out of 20 lists. Well done to the deathlist Committee! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Death Watch Beatle 41 Posted January 6, 2006 Do I win a prize for nominating him?? You do indeed! A hearty pat on the back (virtual) from us here at Deathlist and a family pack of Andrex. Yep, well done - keep the ideas coming. Unfortunately we wont be able to use them for another 11 and half months, but keep them coming anyway! DWB Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Grim Reaper 186 Posted January 6, 2006 Good work Gross Urnings - your prize is that the DeathList committee loved the suggestion and put him at no. 1 to secure a resounding success - I'm sure you are honoured Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Death Watch Beatle 41 Posted January 6, 2006 Could I suggest as a headline: "Lou Rawls Over!" or has someone else beaten me to it? DWB Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Godot 149 Posted January 6, 2006 I'm this mad about Lou Rawls: http://www.boreme.com/boreme/funny-2004/use-glue-p1.php Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Death Watch Beatle 41 Posted January 6, 2006 Mr. Rawls has spent a total of 6 days of the DL - an impressively short stay - very hard to beat I would say. Anybody want to work out who has had the longest stay? No? I thought not. DWB Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Windsor 2,233 Posted January 6, 2006 I would imagine it was Pope John Paul II. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
football_fan 42 Posted January 6, 2006 I would imagine it was Pope John Paul II. Actually, I think it was Ronald Reagan Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Grim Reaper 186 Posted January 6, 2006 Mr. Rawls has spent a total of 6 days of the DL - an impressively short stay - very hard to beat I would say. Interesting fact... Amazingly Rawls' time on DL wasn't the shortest stay...Brian Johnston (cricket commentator) spent just 5 days on DeathList in 1994. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Cup of Tea 3 Posted January 6, 2006 Whats the full stoy on him? Its all come quite fast for me.. .. .. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Harvester Of Souls 40 Posted January 6, 2006 As Lou died of lung cancer I suggest that his the headline should read "Run Over On Tobacco Road" as a tribute to his 1963 album. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Grim Reaper 186 Posted January 6, 2006 ps Going back to the longest stay - the mighty Dunn might have something to say about it. According to my calculations - the Pope and the Queen Mother died on their 14th year on list - Dunn is enjoying his 10th this year Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
