Deathray 2,940 Posted December 29, 2013 Just curious, why is it called The Hare's Death Pool? Because the story of the tortoise and the hare was in my head although I suppose your aiming to be the tortoise among all the hares (that was a lame attempt at covering the fact logically this should be The Tortoises Death Pool).

Deathray 2,940 Posted January 2, 2014 And we have the first hit of the year with Dorothy Baldwin dying on New Years Day giving mpfc 1 point.

maryportfuncity 10,616 Posted January 3, 2014 This deadpool has the same woefully low standards where obits are concerned as the Deathrace. So here's the link to Baldwin's local paper: http://www.nottinghampost.com/Oldest-person-Notts-Dorothy-Baldwin-dies-111/story-20393047-detail/story.html Basically, useless here, but she's also on my Deathrace team where she's worth 364 points.

Deathray 2,940 Posted February 12, 2014 Firstly if any of your team have died in the last 2-3 weeks it's possible I've missed them so let me know with an obit... More importantly, Sid Ceaser has ceased to exist and thus Death Impends and Rotten Ali have both gained 42 points. The table now: Rotten Ali 52 points Death Impends 42 points Estuarian Float 21 points The Unknown Man 10 points US Funeral Director 10 points maryportfuncity 7 points Everyone Else 0 points Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
