Uschi 53 Posted November 12, 2015 Well I went for a German double this time with Helmut Kohl following Schmidt exiting stage left. As well as the death list record breaking fifteenth hit, I do believe Kohl's passing would also create a little piece of death list history in having consecutive Germans strike out. Not just two consecutive Germans... two consecutive Germans named Helmut who happened to be consecutive Chancellors of Germany. And both Chancellors named Helmut were married to women named Hannelore! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bibliogryphon 9,586 Posted November 13, 2015 Now this is interesting None of the Above has the same number of votes as Martin Crowe. Only ZZG looks like a more popular pick. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
EGN 121 Posted November 13, 2015 This is the spot Clive Dunn should have had; that record breaking 15th spot. Alas, it falls to what appears to have almost become his spiritual successor to take the honour. Zsa Zsa, head towards the light, love. Go on. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GossipGabe 333 Posted November 13, 2015 Now this is interesting None of the Above has the same number of votes as Martin Crowe. Only ZZG looks like a more popular pick. Well, I have to say that at this stage (in mid November) "none of the above" is a sound choice, a lot more likely than any individual candidate on the list. If I had to wager real money on this, I would have picked that as well - but since it's only a "free" game I went with someone more interesting. A record year with 15 hits is something I really look forward to... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JiroemonKimura 95 Posted November 13, 2015 I have a feeling Crowe will make it to 2016, and possibly to 2050. He is still active in giving advice in cricket games. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sir Creep 7,070 Posted November 17, 2015 DeathList is about to be penalized for making Helmut-to-Helmut contact. Kohl! SirC I've decided to retract my vote for Kohl, though he may well go next.I just got to thinking (always dangerous) and I'm like hmmm with all that's going on around the world, it's kinda queer we don't hear anything from one particular opinionated statesman, Henry Kissinger. It's eerily quiet in fact. I'm thinking as he alights from his Thanksgiving feast next week he will clutch his damaged heart, drop to his knees, and utter those words that Nell Carter's character (Florida) said on Good Times when she lamented that her husband was dead: "Damn Damn DAMMMMMMMMN!"

It might not be 'a big deal' or even 'that much of a deal' but breaking a record is still breaking a record.
