Thoughts On The 2016 List

Recommended Posts

Since the list is coming soon I've decided to make a thread on the reception of the 2016 list.

I was thinking about making one on the outcome of the 2016 US Presidential election.

 

Just to be organised.

The list isn't up yet but the page is. Talk of "a significant amount of new blood" is interesting:

The list makes it's debut at midnight and not a second earlier but if anything seconds later.

Genius, as per usual. :D

Glad they added Mary Tyler Moore, Desmond Tutu, Muhammad Ali and Stephen Hawking.

Pissed they missed out on Helmut Kohl, Howard Marks, Pope Benedict, Valerie Harper and Sinead O'Connor.

Other than that, seems alright.

I'll need to look up at least 10 people though.

2016 list looks good to me - well done to the DL committee! I must admit I thought that a few people on the list were already dead as I haven't heard of them for years.

I am 50/50 on this list.I like most of the names they have kept except for the omission of Kohl which I think the committee may well regret.I like the inclusion of Gazza Noakes Campbell and Moore but feel that Scales was put on too early.I cant understand why Howard Marks and Antony Booth were omitted!!!!!!!

A very outrageous New Years Person is banging on doors and windows and parading the streets and living large and is timeless .. he's every year .. the outrageous new years person lives and drinks all night.

 

Now my favorite part of the list is Zsa Zsa at number 2, Thailand Kings ridiculous high ranking, Vigoda, Kirk being 100, Not Tommy Chong and Fidel going down and Fats and Muhammad Ali finally making an appearance.

Well I think the community still did their own thing but just threw in some cult pics to statify the forum users.

Omitting Howard Marks will come back to bite us on the ass I suspect

Kohl and Marks not being on are surprises indeed, glad seeing Vigoda and Ali back on at any rate. Doubt this year will be as great as last one but for all we know the elder bubble could burst yet again.

Agreed. There's definitely a lot of 90 year olds who could die tomorrow or 5-6 years from now on the list so a record low or 12-13 hits wouldn't surprise me either way.

Boutros-Ghali is basically think Javier Perez de Cuellar, except with a funnier face and name.
