Prince Philip dies before his long term deadpooling partner on my lists Leslie Phillips and gives me a 28th hit here.

Dilip Kumar's death means that my G.I. generation has died off.

Might be a first in this game, but only by hair's breadth. Dead Cow, for example, only has Clarissa Eden left.

Time to find two replacements for not obiting Geoffrey Robinson, I guess.

FW de Klerk

Phil Read

C heers cor pointing that out.Morbidkid pick 20 baby boomers.You are at a disadvantage if you enter late when hits start coming.I think we should get a winner in 7 or so years.

Following on from @gcreptile's quote in the Mahathir Mohamed thread, less than a year until this has been going for 7 years.

 

I see quite a few players haven't updated their lists for dead.

I am glad this game exists as it is fairly close to my Wipeout idea, and therefore I don't need to run it!

 

Pan Breed's team

 

G.I. Generation (1901-1924)

(all dead, RIP)

 

Silent Generation (1925-42)

 

1. David Attenboroguh

7. Stanley Baxter

10. Former Pope Benedict XVI

 

Baby Boomers (1943-1960)

 

4. Radovan Karadzic

5. Sly Stone

6. Colin Baker

7. Joni Mitchell

8. Keith Richards

9. Dave Davies

10. Jimmy Boyle

11. Ozzy Osbourne

12. Roy Chubby Brown

14. Tim Curry

16. Bill Clinton

17. Marianne Faithful

18. Clare Short

19. Loudon Wainwright III

20. Iggy Pop

 

@YoungWillz - GI lot all gone, 3 left in the Silent Generation, and the Boomers buggering it up as usual. (Joke!)

 

When did Loudon make a big deal of his impending demise and release Older than My Old Man Now when he reached the age Loudon Wainwright II got to? Ten years ago, Google tells me!

Sticky Vicky is a hit for me here (Christy Dignam was, too).

 

I was leading this game for the longest time, but I wonder if that's still the case. I've got two names left in the Silent Generation, Owen Glenn and Mahathir Mohamed. The latter was a big mistake I guess. But in the end, it will all come down to the Boomer Generation anyway.

Henry Kissinger takes me to 36 hits overall. Just Jimmy Carter from the earliest generation, so update soon? ;)

I think this game lives on without updates ;).

I mean, one could have a look at it, but there are a lot of "dead" teams, with not-replaced non-obits, occasionally wrong birth dates, and such.

 

If we're lucky, there'll be a clear winner in 5-10 years, they live, we live, the forum lives, and we're all happy.
