harrymcnallysblueandwhitearmy 1,684 Posted May 28, 2011 Former Mets HoF catcher Gary Carter has "inoperable brain cancer". I think he'd get a UK obit. Either way, he's a dead man walking (to first base). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Spade_Cooley 9,513 Posted January 16, 2012 Because the guy has had enough coverage in a thread that's not even on the DeathList sub-forum, plus enough American regional newspapers seem to now have a cottage industry in covering this guy's every final move.

Estuarian Float 97 Posted February 16, 2012 AHHH! I get to touch the top!!! This is also my first successful joker hit. I wonder if I can keep it up, or if it was just all my easy picks that went early... I've read that Nile Rodgers, Norman Spinrad, AND Ethan Zohn have all gotten better. Maybe Funicello or Rajapaksa... or Raven Alexis can make up for them. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You're a brave man picking her for a UK obituary, although I wouldn't say no to a five-page pictorial spread marking her passing. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
