His career was notable enough on its own that he would have managed a newswire QO even if his name wasn't Harry Connick, although I doubt he would have been picked in the DDP. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

He was actually picked in the DDP by some weird ass theme team. And no I’m not kidding when I say the theme team was weird Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tracy 2,417 Posted January 26 Yeah, I know he was picked, I guess I should have said "without his son" at the end. (While I like a good dick joke here and there, he's probably the most forced pick on that team. Is it just that his name is Harry? As a whole it doesn't really sound phallic IMO.)

arghton 6,756 Posted January 31 Isn't this also the thread user for cops? Finnish "hero cop", footballer and media personality Heidi Foxell in ICU with infection and has undergone 4 surgeries in the last weeks. Quite a tragic story, at 24 she was seriously wounded during the Hyvinkää shooting (shot in the stomach with a moose hunting rifle, more information on that Wikipedia page) in 2012 and was hospitalised for three years, underwent around 100-150 surgeries. During her last year of hospitalisation a medical error happened during a surgery, causing her a permanent spinal cord injury and lung damage. That apparently wasn't unlucky enough and in 2016 she was diagnosed with leukemia while also suffering recurring sepsis due to her stomach wound not healing. Then she was diagnosed with an ovarian tumor and later an ovarian cyst. Only 35, hopefully she'll survive this too. 1 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Frailer, very emotional and has all the aura of someone who knows his time might be nearly up. He doesn't look terrible here though. Certainly seems coherent and looks pretty good for someone battling prostate cancer, especially in his late 80's... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I keep hearing he wants to break Douglas' record, so we may have him for about 4 more years? Or who knows if he even wants to retire then? The man seems to be in good enough health (compared to many of his former colleagues anyway), and has no serious health issues that are public (again, when compared to his colleagues current and former).
