The Pooka 26 Posted September 26, 2007 Could someone spell out where we are with this thing? Is there a venue and a time? If so, could someone PM me with the details. Will there be any cigars? Important questions. They must be answered. If I can make it, i need to get there early so that I can find a 'vantage point'. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Anubis the Jackal 77 Posted September 27, 2007 Rather than wearing avatar t-shirts, would it not be a good idea to come to Deathcon1 dressed as our favourite deathlist candidates. I'm sure Harry McScally would make a fine Warren Zevon, The Pooka has an obvious choice, I could make a fairly convincing Castro, and Godot could come as a squid. Opinions?

The Zevon look is sooo 1969/2005. It's a toss-up between George Lineker and Red Rum at the moment. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Madame Defarge 21 Posted September 27, 2007 I could make a fairly convincing Castro, Opinions? That depends. If the objective is to have guest/iain/dave etc. show up and be immediately impaled by LFN's wooden leg and then launched into the street, go for it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
maryportfuncity 10,639 Posted September 27, 2007 It's worth considering that anyone intending to come as a famous DL character will have to negotiate some of the most congested streets and public transport in Britain in the run up to Christmas. Do yourselves a favour, DON'T come as Bin Laden. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Tuber Mirum 125 Posted September 27, 2007 I think I'll come as Jeremy Thorpe, since that's who it was brought me here in the first place. I'm not sure if Thorpe has a habit of rubbing his hands together in gleeful anticipation when he walks into a pub, but that's likely to be the way those of you who don't know me already will recognise me. It's one of those things I just can't help. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You say "vantage point" the rest of us say "Furtively hiding in a tree". That's better I may be prepared to venture down from the tree and into the pub to have a good look at you all. Needless to say I will be disguised (pointlessly, alas, as none of you know what I look like). For I am the Man of a Thousand Faces. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tuber Mirum 125 Posted September 27, 2007 Took part in a pub quiz this evening using "Deathlist Convention" as a team name. (We came 3rd after deliberately losing a tiebreak to some ladies) The landlady who ran the quiz was heard to remark "That's an awful name". Can the committee come up with something else more likely to appeal to half-pished Irish pub landladies? Might be important on the night. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

maryportfuncity 10,639 Posted September 28, 2007 You could - of course - adopt any of the stunning array of inventive names presented in the various deadpools.

Lord Fellatio Nelson 6,218 Posted September 28, 2007 If there was a wilful and deliberate act to purposely loose, to allow the Ladies to beat you, then perhaps a name such as "Dead Chivalrous" would kill two birds with one stone. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Lord Fellatio Nelson 6,218 Posted September 28, 2007 When are we sending our quiz team to 'Eggheads' to kill CJ da Mooi? I believe the pot is upto 75,000 pounds. Bit out of date Winny, the Pot was won tonight but a group of " Spotty Herberts". The Eggheads lost out by not knowing how many States in the USA still had the Death Penalty and the Herberts knew that Nicosia was the furthest South EU Capital compared to Lisbon and Valleta.
