Toast 16,155 Posted January 5, 2017 Yes, the 13th. Just to annoy, since the Unlucky 13 bonus no longer counts in the DDP. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Weebl 216 Posted January 7, 2017 Good to get a headstart on the committee - a nice, early headstart. His name was being discussed around these parts before the new year and seemed like a great pick at the time. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

GossipGabe 333 Posted January 7, 2017 Good to get a headstart on the committee - a nice, early headstart. His name was being discussed around these parts before the new year and seemed like a great pick at the time. Yeah, I think he sort of counts as a miss – he could've been on the list, since he's at least as deathlisty as Gord Downie and was a 100% (dead) cert. But they can still make up for it, if their preferred 92-yo "Father of ..." candidate (Mugabe) also dies this year – only time will tell. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
