Joey Russ 7,227 Posted October 18, 2017 I hope the pun is something like Dead by a Century, but knowing the committee, it’s going to be something like the Tragically Dead, isn’t it? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Surely there's a Hip song title that can be used to convey a record being broken? Worst case scenario I guess they can do "The old record goes Downie" Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Life Is Beautiful 716 Posted October 18, 2017 Very sad indeed, But I really wanted him to survive, and I also wanted the record to be broken by a DL legend, but here we are...our 15th death is somebody 90% of people here didn't know about before his awful illness (and don't try to pretend otherwise!) Again, RIP Gord, you were a great fighter, but you are never called a "dead cert" for nothing. I'm looking at you now, Michael I. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
