Derby Dead Pool 2017

Recommended Posts

I think we hit a drought point again. But with all those deaths in late May and June, there really isn't any room for complaining now, is there.

Just wait for Leah Bracknell's ritual suicide on her upcoming birthday.

Hi. When I made that comment, I was talking about a drought in the DDP as a whole, and in no way was I thinking about myself when I made that comment, so sorry if you interpreted it in that way. It's probably just an age related thing in the way that it was delivered, cause I think I could have delivered it in a better way, but I wasn't thinking at the time. Twenty years from now, I'll certainly be more mellowed out. Tbf, I'm not expecting much else from this year. I'm not even sure if the Baghdadi hype will lead into a success at this point...

And no, I'm definitely not Zorders. A mod can do an IP check to confirm that I'm not Zorders.

tbh, if you were Zorders, then the Doc had certainly mellowed the fuck out quite quickly.

Judging by the rather insulting nature of your post, I'm glad you only saw fit to post once in 6 months, maybe if you could dial it down to once in six months you'd be doing us all a favour.

I guess it depends on circumstances, but at what date do YOU personally start getting antsy about the idea that your sure bet (i.e. joker) may in fact let you down, despite all indications otherwise.  I'll give Rayya Elias till Halloween, then with 1/6 of the year left, I'll be a nervous ninny.  I can't win anything around here unless she drops dead.  She is defying the Reaper and logic. Patience is a virtue, but why can't hurry the fuck up be a virtue?

It's worse when they've obliged, but no QO has been forthcoming ....

Hey, it could happen thrice in a year. Though two of those were not typical Me picks and thus I deserve all I get...

@Sir Creep - Rayya has the pancreatic cancer AND liver cancer. She's cancelling work. There's 5 months of the year left. Patience will reap its points.

Losing out on the DDP in the past because Martin Crowe lasted longer than expected means I'm now more likely to joker someone who already survived a year of being a dead cert. Hence why I went with Christie this year, a move that worked out.

I genuinely went "eenie meanie" on Downie or Christie.

Is there any particular reason as to why the International Business Times aren't a qualifying obit source?

 

They seem to produce a decent amount of would-be unique QOs, such as for Jagraj Singh and Gretel Bergmann (but Bergmann seems the type of person to get a Telegraph/Guardian/Times obit a week late, so we can't rule her out yet).

Based on the updates posted here by Spade and other folks the past month or two, Rayya Elias will most likely be dead by the start of the NFL season (that's September 7th this year).

 

Don't worry, she's a dead cert and an obit cert. You picked a good joker. 

 

However, to those who jokered Downie or Bracknell, I think it's time to start getting a little nervous. End of July and still no signs of imminent death such as hospice.

Not that I'd argue with anyone wanting to increase the QOs...

Right chalk me up for a Unique on Sonny West please TMIB

 

Sonny died in May but failed to get an obit but luckily for me his cousin Red who was also a member of the Memphis Mafia died a few weeks ago.

 

Sonny's death gets a mention in this Daily Mail article.

Ah ok I was only aware of the UK edition so I didn't know the organization as a whole was based in New York.
