Although the deadpooling fuels my competitive nature (and it's a lot easier to win at than fantasy football), I'm really here for the dead celebs. The kind of excellent cadavers (good name for a DDP team?) I like are the character actors, the forgotten wrestlers, the people who had their moment of fame 40 years ago. I've said it before: you cannot be good at this game if you just view picks as numbers, you have to be invested in them as entities.

I mean it's why my username is one of two murderers who have a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame (the other one, Gig Young, was actually inducted in the same year as Cooley).

That's one of the beauty of dead pooling that I learned when I started playing. In my brief time of dead pooling, they were definitely a lot of people who's lives I found fascinating. Jacqui Forster's trying to help women be more represented in football was a obvious one, but also reading about the careers of foreign actors such as Spanky Manikan and realizing that there are more nice wrestlers out there than Dave Bautista and Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson, like Matt Cappotelli. I think it also got me more interested in people that I heard before but didn't really dig in to. Gord Downie is one example, think I saw The Tragically Hip in a watchmojo video (who are overrated by the way) before I joined this site, but I didn't really know about his music until I joined this site. Now I think they're a great, underrated (outside of Canada of course) band. Similarly, I remember watching Lazy Town as a young kid, but had no idea on who played Robbie Rotten was until I joined this site. I could name more people tbh, but I think if it weren't for all of those interesting people, I probably would've lost interest in dead pooling already like so many other things.

Hey, what other forums can you have informative posts like this:

 

next to (possibly bad taste) gags like this:

 

 

Next to genuine appreciation from usually at least one regular on most of the folk who  pass - more so than the press usually

 

 

Next to the group support stuff (which sort of sprung up), the in-jokes, the ability to pun on any persons career, and of course, the recommendations:

 

 

 

But really, if all else fails, there's the insanity:

 

 

Anyhow, now I've forgotten my point - I just wanted an excuse to link to the Hofman post again tbh.

My knowledge base has increased to the extent that I can now answer several questions on University Challenge, rather than the odd one or two I used to answer.

Unfortunately my mind is now so full and so old that it can only recall what it wants to and not what I want it to.

 

There was a question on Uni Chall last year and I knew the answer was number 20 on the Death List but I could not bring his name to mind before one of students did. In our house they only count if you get them before each other and before the students.

 

(Jake LaMotta by the way - Mrs GUN did not give me the point).

............add to that, he has absolutely no fucking excuse for having a 'bad hair day' but he still walks around with a dead cat on his head.

Hey guys. I am having a bad day today, and it seems like I posted some very unnecessary threads. As such, I would like to apologize about the posts I made today. I've realized that not only are they shitty posts, but they also seem a bit attention seeking, which is never a good thing to have in posts. The Sir Creep one in particular was cruel, rude, and above all, very unnecessary. I have already sent him an apology by PM for that thread, and I would now like to apologize to everyone else for having to go through that today. None of you deserved to go through that. Ever. So I hope that you all can accept this apology for not really thinking about what I posted today until the (deservingly) negative response I got for those two threads...

[Toast 16,127]

I like Sir Creep, except for the posts about obscure Americans, and when he's being a complete twat about things like Bessie Camm's local newspaper obit.

[Clorox Bleachman 2,400]

I left school at the end of last week after finishing my exams. Finally this hellfire of a year's over, and I couldn't be more happy about it. I've got to give credit to the Scottish education system - it allows me to seamlessly glide into free higher education as a fresh-faced young thing (hmm) - but that didn't happen without me working my butt off and falling into a major depressive episode.

Anyway, enough about that. I'm only new here. Nobody's got the time to listen to somecunt's sob story. The only thing that's going to change is my posting. Since I've got a 3 month holiday ahead, I'll be on here a lot more frequently. I'll try my best not to piss off any of the mods under this new system, coughing up £50 could be interesting before I start work! 

And to Joey, your contribution here is valid. You make so many posts that at least one of them's bound to make sense! You should try and focus on quality, not quantity. As long as you keep posting 'helpful' content then you have a place here.

 

Maybe you should do what I just did for 3 days - burn some text books, cry whilst watching 4 consecutive episodes of Father Ted, find a spot in the hills and camp out without proper clothing, even. You will probably thank yourself for it.

We certainly seem to be the only people to have given a shit about Colin Campbell's death.

I think you seriously need to go outside more as being on the internet all day is clearly having negative effect on you. As Devon said earlier "this is a discussion forum, not a way of life" you've admitted a while back that you friendless and thus you are attempting to fill that void with this site as a result you seek validation from this site that is absent in your life and since you are bullied your self esteem is likely very low which explains why you have such a strong reaction to negative posts. Don't let the internet consume your life becuase looking back you'll weep at the amount of time you spent on the internet. Many of your problems paraell mine as I also attempted to fill a void in my life using this forum and others. When I got banned from all of the forums I frequnted I realised how shallow and empty my life had become now that they didn't take up my time. I recommend taking up biking of running as they are fairky easy activties.

is it your day off from being mad

Saw this and seems apt. Maddie Hatters, *meant to have been World Heavyweight Champion in 1883.

 

Obviously nicknamed 'The Mad Hatter'.

 

 

 

 

* meant as she beat a Scotsman called 'wee' Willy Harris. Can't see a cunto nicknamed 'wee' as being a heavyweight.

Pleased to announce that after 8 grueling and very patient months, my daughter’s stolen cat has been returned and has fit right in after a few skeptical hours.  Everyone is happy.

So they have been busy removing mens urinals from all telephone exchanges because the bogs are ' officially' unisex and, as women do not carry funnels about their persons, it has been deemed appropriate to just have bogs. My work yard has also allocated the two toilets there as one for male and one for female. This makes perfect sense as there are two female engineers and one female manager who sometimes frequent the portakabin and dozens of males who are based there/ frequent the place. It may be the first time ever you will see men in a fuck off queue to the one bog they are allowed to use while the ladies one remains as empty as the ball sack of a spent porn actor. I'm all for equality but this is all becoming fucking inane.

I’m a girl and I’m more than happy to have separate bogs because I’ve been in men’s toilets (to write my phone number on the walls, just in case Deathray was wondering), and they FUCKING STINK.

No toilets at my work, major reason why we are unlikely to employ females

When I worked for British Coal in its dying days. Half our site was privatised and they got the swanky new building with enough toilets for each female member of staff to have their own toilet. The rest of the staff moved into an old aircraft hanger with one ladies toilet. As we were getting very generous redundancy payments a number of female staff scheduled career breaks to ensure they got maternity pay and redundancy.  However one very rainy day the ladies toilet blocked and the was a long stream of pregnant ladies scampering across the site under umbrellas to be allowed to use the posh loos.

Toilet?
