Sir Creep 7,070 Posted April 15, 2018 Well shit. There goes Sir Creep’s opening round sleeper DL Cup pick in February. Bill Hargis, who doubled the size of Woodbury in his 17 years as mayor, died of cancer Tuesday night. More than anyone else, Hargis was responsible for shaping the modern suburb that is among Minnesota’s 10 biggest cities, with a population of 69,000. Hargis was diagnosed with prostate cancer in 2008, then skin cancer in 2014. Hargis announced in January that he had advanced brain cancer. SC Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sir Creep 7,070 Posted April 19, 2018 According to this report, Kulsoom Nawaz has been ‘critically ill’ and in hospital in Britain the past few days, former PM hubby visited. Would be a unique DDP for moi. SC Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Death Impends 7,977 Posted April 19, 2018 She's one of those where her being a unique surprised me. Throat cancer is one of the less fatal overall but I found her yo-yoing in and out of hospital suspicious... only for me to not back this up with a deadpool pick anywhere.

I was even the one who brought her illness to the forum too, making it more embarrassing for me not picking her anywhere...

Sir Creep 7,070 Posted April 19, 2018 FTR I had written her off early on as another in the long line of disappointing picks, but was searching something else nefarious and saw 'Nawaz' in the foreign headline. Huh....let's see what it says... I too was a bit stunned she was unique after the Big Reveal. Of course all that said she's alive and kicking today.

drol 11,950 Posted April 21, 2018 I find a bit strange for a 55 year old man who had an overall normal life to have an only desire in his life, which is a big headline like "Lê Đức Anh dead as a dead dog" or "Lê Đức Anh explodes in Hanoi hospital" or "Lê Đức Anh abducted by aliens". Fuck Lê Đức Anh, you are turning me into a sort of Gollum. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sir Creep 7,070 Posted April 22, 2018 Al Swift, an eight-term Democratic congressman from Washington state who helped modernize Pacific Northwest energy, has died in Alexandria, Virginia. He was 82. Family members told Seattle Times that Swift had been diagnosed with a lung disease unrelated to smoking. Kind of an odd thing to say, so I presume he WAS a smoker, and the family needs to feel better about itself today so let's say his lungs were diseased but not from the slow suicide he brought upon himself.
