Joey Russ 7,118 Posted December 29, 2016 It'd be interesting to see those stats Spade, although I doubt tmib'll be able to yay or nay that question until after the entry period closes. My three teams Kervorkian clinic, Cobbles to a Coffin and Shot in the Dark (the first twenty celebrities that came to mind are in). Given the state of this year 5 substitute's have been provided for each team. Welcome back. Hope your okay now. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
themaninblack 2,112 Posted December 29, 2016 T-Mib: has the increased DL usage and the increased press attention on celebrity morbidity this year seen a jump up in entries?

Toast 14,800 Posted December 29, 2016 I still think you should move the limit on the number of teams each person can enter, but fully understand the reasons for not doing so. Shame cancer mums are still around... One main team and one theme team is enough for me. I only had two teams this year, and will do likewise for 2017.

themaninblack 2,112 Posted December 29, 2016 In addition to the "Man in Black's..." theme team I've decided to introduce a brand new team for 2017. They're Dead Y'Know! is now officially retired as a team... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Shame cancer mums are still around... One main team and one theme team is enough for me. I only had two teams this year, and will do likewise for 2017. I'd made six teams to fill the void of centenarians that wasn't entered last year. Shot in the dark filled the void because i lost them. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CaptainChorizo 1,898 Posted December 30, 2016 I Was watching the TCM tribute video for 2016 and saw the name Lita Baron, and remembered she was picked in DDP.Turns out she died In Dec 2015. An online obit for her a month later appeared in The Hollywood Reporter.http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/news/lita-baron-dead-actress-nightclub-856005 Interestingly according to the article she appeared in an episode of I Love Lucy.She must have been the last or one of the last non child actors to appear in the series who was still alive.

The Dead Cow 620 Posted December 30, 2016 Worth noting that Mourning Glory had Rick Parfitt, George Michael and Liz Smith, as well as scoring their joker earlier in the month with Zsa Zsa Gabor. I think we've got our player of the month. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Spade_Cooley 9,016 Posted January 1, 2017 Well if all obits have to be local time, then surely it's over now as it is 2017 across the world? It does lead to an interesting possibility of picking a team solely comprising inhabitants of American Samoa so you get an extra 11 hours for them to die each pool.
