Sean 6,309 Posted November 22, 2016 Death Slam Form Guide #34 Ian Brady So old and so long banged up he's only known to the world in black and white and his cool stylish look has come back into fashion at least three times since he last had a chance to nip down the street and buy fags. His ongoing negotiations about his own death and whether he'll ever help people locate the final body (Keith Bennett) from the killing spree keep him semi-famous; but qualifying obits were assured from the day he was convicted, anyway. The Grim Reaper could hardly make a more welcome call in December as far as much of Britain is concerned - sadly only one of us could snag him in the Advent Avalanch Was having a conversation yesterday about how the media demised Hindley more than Brady but I argue that although she was dubbed the most hated woman in Britain he was probably the most hated man in Vritain.Well either him or Peter Sutcliffe.

Joey Russ 7,220 Posted November 22, 2016 The selection of your candidates for the Advent Avalanche Deadpool is now 7 and a half days away. While there will certainly be some regulars participating, the question on my mind right now is how many of the deadpooling legends will show. Will DevonDeathTrip decide to send his magic hand of death to that poor terminally ill person who made the news? Will Death Impends win this dead pool along with the title of the DDP champion? Or will three time DDP champion Spade decide to ignore the fact that 'Roey Juss' is running this dead pool and instead pick that terminally janitor to win it all? Only time will tell. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Joey Russ 7,220 Posted November 24, 2016 Death Slam Form Guide #37: Fidel Castro This legendary politician is known for winning the Cuban Revolution and then becoming dictator for many years until 2008, where he stepped down due to failing health. Will Christmas finally prove to be the time that he will be in exile with more than 1 million people? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
maryportfuncity 10,630 Posted November 24, 2016 Death Slam Form Guide #38 Philip Pullman Young adult writing legend but recently fingered in the ideas and possibles thread hereabouts as "very ill." Fairly lively official website has nowt much to say on the matter but a few of the 2016 carkers - Bowie, Cohen - simply went without due warning in the middle of apparently busy working lives.

Joey Russ 7,220 Posted November 26, 2016 With the event now being 4 days away, I hope you got your picks chosen or if not, narrowed down to a few picks. If you don't have one selected, you can always look at the death slam guide entries, as all of them, apart from Lupita Tovar and Fidel Castro, are eligible to be selected. Last thing: please select ONE name at a time. If your pick gets taken, you can pick someone else who isn't picked yet. Of course, only 24 members BESIDES the host can participate (and the host can't pick anyone until everyone has their picks selected, so I'm not expecting Errol Christie or Leah Bracknell).

Weebl 216 Posted November 26, 2016 Death Slam Form Guide #11 John Wetton: Prog rocker who collaborated with bands such as Yes, Roxy Music and Genesis. However, his most famous stints are his time as lead singer of King Crimson before Robert Fripp disbanded the band for a while, and as the front man for Asia, a band that is still around to this day. Recently, he has gotten a ton of health issues, ranging from metastatic cancer, heart problems, and most recently, septic shock. Only time will time if he'll get the Christmas gift of death. If he gets picked for the main DeathList and does indeed pass away in 2017, the title headline should be "The Smile Has Left His Eyes" referring to the Asia song "The Smile Has Left Your Eyes". Also, I'm presuming you meant to write "only time will tell" instead of "only time will time"? Because "Only Time Will Tell" is also a song by Asia, from their debut album.

Weebl 216 Posted November 26, 2016 Death Slam Guide #6 Zsa Zsa effing Gabor! Multiple marriage specialist and long-standing toppler tease who's rapidly running out of extremities to stand anything on. There are those who claim her to be immortal and more pragmatic types who'd argue we should pay out the points the second the selected amputations around her body tip 51% of what she used to have. Then again, she might die in December! Scary looking - looks like she's had plastic surgery done to her face so it kinda looks younger but the rest of her looks as old as she actually is Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Weebl 216 Posted November 26, 2016 Death Slam Form Guide #17 Justin Beiber: This is the devil. His annoying voice with the generic and bland music makes him both one of the most beloved and hated artists of all time (hope everyone goes with the latter). Having been through a lot of controversy, will a drug overdose on Christmas Day end his purpose in life to torment us? You don't seriously think Justin Bieber is serious Deathlist material, do you? 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
