[maryportfuncity 10,642]

For those who can't be arsed visiting page one, it's fast 'n' furious alright:

 

Sir Creep - 1439

Death Impends - 1084

Devon Death Trip - 1082

Switch - 716

GC Reptile - 365 pts

Youwantrice... - 362

Deadsox - 360

Jiroemonkimura - 360

MSC - 359

 

Or in plain English, two reasonably swift hits sweep Sir Creep over the line.

 

 

 

 

RING RING; "Is Ms Feek available please...hello...hello!"

How exactly do I get to the first page?.....

[msc 18,437]

Fast and furious, MPFC! Do you know where we were by the 9th hit in 2015? 19th February, with Katayama, and the first hints I might entirely steal Death Impends victory away from him.

 

Now, we have 9 hits, and 2016 isn't even a fortnight old.

[RadGuy 1,614]

What was the earliest date the competition ended?

Cause this year, it looks like SC will win in a few days, as long as Feek is his joker (don't feel like checking).

 

Edit: Okay, I actually checked, and nope.

So he needs two more hits. That means I have a chance to get some points before the competition ends, phew.

Jan 7th - lotsa points

 

 

Are we sure he died on Thursday the 7th? Other sources say he died on Tuesday the 12th, and his wife posted encouraging messages on Twitter on the 10th and 11th.

[maryportfuncity 10,642]

 

Andrew Smith folks. http://abc7chicago.com/sports/former-butler-standout-andrew-smith-dies-at-25/1156452/

 

Aye, that's a qualifying obit (though next year I was wondering if we lower the standard and accept graffiti on a toilet wall), I'm on it.

 

Jan 7th - lotsa points

 

 

 

Re date of Smith's death, the source above says Thursday. That Guardian article linked in the post above quotes his wife tweeting about "this morning" but it could be an old tweet, right?

 

Still minded to keep the points for Thursday. Or am I wrong?

[YoungWillz 21,028]

Think it's a misprint in the story I posted MPFC. Let's rely on a broadsheet, it's the 12th: http://www.theguardian.com/sport/2016/jan/12/andrew-smith-butler-university-basketball-star and CNN: http://edition.cnn.com/2016/01/12/sport/andrew-smith-butler-basketball-player-dies/index.html

 

Will it matter in the long run? Or short run? He he. Apologies for finding the story with the misprint!

Okay, on it, unlikely to matter in the long run.

Reet busy at work tomorrow - Thursday - but I'm mindful of 11 jokers and a slew of other picks riding atop Ms Feek's demise. It might be more than a coffee break's worth of graft to add the points as they become available. So, please be patient.

If she'd like to go in the next 5 and a half hours it would be worth an extra 6 points in the DDP.

 

Warped priorities, I know.

Well the sooner she dies the sooner the suffering s over.She is most likely completely unconscious or in excruciating pain.There is a very good reason a lot of people use the phrase "happy release".

If you follow the link from my post there she's in bed and apparently quite warm whilst her husband is thickly wrapped stood beside her. has he just come in from the cold or is she caning the radiation in her final hours?

[Switch 141]

René Angelil is dead.

[msc 18,437]

A Joey Feek demise in the next week and I'm right back in the race.

[Dr_T 254]

Rene Angelil is the joker in my rebel team so 702 points I believe. Good chance of finishing this year I think.

[JiroemonKimura 95]

Phew. SC didn't pick Angelil.

[Sir Creep 7,070]

Phew. SC didn't pick Angelil.

No gotta admit I saw him as a back half of the year candidate, it's a shocker to me quite honestly. He was my fahkin JOKER in Hare's for that reason. Ugh!

SC

[maryportfuncity 10,642]

Oh aye, and over ten jokers are riding on Ms Feek, but I said that already, right?

[Switch 141]

I wonder how IM Pei and Gino Odjick are doing.

[maryportfuncity 10,642]

I wonder how IM Pei and Gino Odjick are doing.

 

Sneak up behind the pair of them and explode a paper bag and this time tomorrow you could have won the Deathrace!

[DevonDeathTrip 2,358]

Think Sir Creep has five less points now than he did at the last update?

I cut some points from Andrew Smith once we knew the real date of death, don't need to trim owt else of SC's score, do I?

[RadGuy 1,614]

I wonder how Ian St John, Vojislav Seselj and Zhou Youguang are doing

Me too fella, a serious point with regard to the above. If and when Ms Feek delivers for her faithful public we'll be one decent hit short of a winner. There are loads of obscure picks on the masterlist and rule 11a hereabouts makes clear that once a winner is declared, we have a winner.

 

So if you've got some local hero/obscure industrialist/bassist in a band only sixteen people like etc etc.

 

Might just be time to Google "name" + "death" and see if the Packaging Industry Digest or whoever has their death mentioned on the website.
