Phantom 2,531 Posted February 5, 2016 It's ironic how many big named people died of cancer last month and nobody knew about it, now it seems that her public cancer might go away and she might live.....if she lives till Grammy night, she'll live til easter at least Not sure I would put Joey Feek in the category of "big named people" In terms of what most people call Coutry music these days, is that crap that gets churned out at the CMA (Country Music Association) awards shows. Which draws a big crowd (sadly) than those that quite rightly would fall in to the category of "legend". We're talking Glen Campbell, Merle Haggard, Dolly Parton, Loretta Lynn. etc Christian country is quite a small niche in that music genre. Possibly the irony would be if you're pretty much a household name with cancer, you die with dignity and leave behind a legacy and many pay tribute because you're the reason they started playing music and forming their own band. Whereas with Joey Feek (a relatively unknown outside of the Christian country scene) is public with her cancer treatment and managing to survive it all so far.

(WTF is 'Christian Country?' Is that what they're cubbyholed into?) Reason I say this is that another nominee in one of those categories is as bad if not worse shape than Joey so she won't win on the sympathy card as most would assume.

Also, seeing as I've started another new page, the remaining original sweepstake places are: Toast: 5 Feb Deadsox: 10 Feb Death Impends: 11 Feb Gcreptile: 13 Feb MPFC: 14 Feb Spade Cooley: 15 Feb Lozzie: 17 Feb Uschi: 18 Feb Paul Bearer: 1 Mar If there's no winner by end of play 1 Mar 16, the sweepstake will reset and all those who were wrong will, in a gesture I'm sure a good Christian like Mrs Feek would appreciate, be forgiven their error and allowed to guess again. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gcreptile 10,963 Posted February 5, 2016 I realised last week that my guess is the same day that I already had for Jimmy Carter. That will be an interesting day here... Also, I was surprised she even lasted into the new year. I mean, I was the one to first mention her, and did so with the words "It doesn't sound too good". Yet, she's still alive. So her cancer is progressing relatively slowly (relative to the statistics or the doctors' expectations). Now it looks like she won't matter for the Deathrace at all. And who knows, maybe spring is possible. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

EGN 121 Posted February 7, 2016 Fairly standard 'Not long left' article. The comments, however, show the upswell in feeling against the husband for whoring a corpse, while she gets it in the neck for not getting pap smears / Downs checks. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Pedro67 232 Posted February 8, 2016 Just had an epiphany. Its gonna be the 7th Feb. If its OK, can I grab that date, please and thank you. OK, it was a nonpiphany. Failure doesn't count anyway as I'd been left off recent lists :-) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

With the greatest respect could you hold off on the reset option till the 7th March, and allow Paul Bearer the greater chance to win having been the one who is exploring the long route. The gap between the 18th Feb, of Uschi and PB's pick is 12 days. Thus a further 6 days grace on the far side would naturally be favoured to better compensate the risk of playing the long game.

EGN 121 Posted February 8, 2016 Paul Bearer: 1 Mar If there's no winner by end of play 1 Mar 16, the sweepstake will reset. With the greatest respect could you hold off on the reset option till the 7th March, and allow Paul Bearer the greater chance to win having been the one who is exploring the long route. The gap between the 18th Feb, of Uschi and PB's pick is 12 days. Thus a further 6 days grace on the far side would naturally be favoured to better compensate the risk of playing the long game. Sorry, but new bids will be accepted from 0001 hrs UK time on 2 Mar 16 to allow the game to start afresh from that point. A line had to be drawn under the game when she lingered longer than expected and this is fairer than allowing multiple picks, which would enable people to benefit disproportionately from short guesses. There's no compensations for taking risk in life, let alone in death, therefore there are none in this sweepstake. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
