Going Underground 74 Posted January 8, 2012 Yeah figured it was. (stupid question really). Bit of a slow start this year i reckon. Ah...Gone are the days of picks like Claiborne Pell croaking on New Years day. The only time i ever led the DDP. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Godot 149 Posted January 8, 2012 obit for Bob Holness Not sure how many teams had him on their list. He was in and out of my team more times than your left leg in the hokey cokey. He ended up as first reserve behind two or three real chancers - fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

angryGreatness 96 Posted January 8, 2012 I wanna know what everyone thinks about DDT's list. Think he'll be as tough this year? Not a chance. I struggled a bit for ideas this year, so I doubt 2012 will be a vintage preformance. I'm a bit like the Ronnie O'Sullivan of deadpooling - unstoppable when it's going right, pretty average when it's going wrong . Anyway, here's my list. I'm hoping my joker will be a unique pick (probably no chance), is as ill as he says he is (possibly half a chance) and that he gets a UK obit (a pretty good chance). I'd also be very pleased if Joseph Kony gets shot to pieces. A friend of mine sent in Xolile in too, so he won't be unique. Turns out I was wrong, my friend took him out as the last second because he worried about obituary chances. Replaced him with Gregory Powell. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Congratulations to The Man In Black for his hard work. What's the team name? "Song To The Siren" I'm in, thanks = ) listening to the radio today, both Nelson Mandela and Stephen Hawking are described as "frail", neither on my team. curses !

maryportfuncity 10,616 Posted January 8, 2012 You don't get much frailer than Ariel Sharon and that frail fecker has been lingering for years. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Magere Hein 1,399 Posted January 8, 2012 You don't get much frailer than Ariel Sharon and that frail fecker has been lingering for years. That's the trouble. They don't go out much and do silly things. I've removed Mandela from my team, I think he's got a bit of time left. Sharon I tried a few years ago, but I threw him out soon. They can go on for years like that. Hawking may be my mistake. I threw him out because he turned 70, thus rendering fewer points. But then, he should've been dead for decades, so perhaps he's immortal. An immortal wreck, now there's a depressing thought. regards, Hein Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Turns out I was wrong, my friend took him out as the last second because he worried about obituary chances. Replaced him with Gregory Powell. I've got both Xolile Mngeni and Gregory Powell. Infinatley more worried about Powells obit than Xolile. The Anni Dewani murder has been heavily publicized in the British Media. I am almost certain Mngeni will get an obit should he pass. To be honest I thought Gregory Powell may have been a unique for me. gutted. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

maryportfuncity 10,616 Posted January 9, 2012 So, not that he's worth much in terms of points, but is my Teddy Johnson pick unique? I'm guessing someone, somewhere, jumped on last year's unique but ultimately useless selection of Lianne Smith, though I have still kept faith with her thinking the suicide watch will gradually slow down.
