I just looked to see who is leading in the Spade v Deadsox game on count back - then I saw that Deadsox hit was Emma Morano  

 

Yeah, call it a hunch, but I'm pretty sure Michael Levy was younger than Emma Morano!

According to Legacy,com, apparently Susan Stros had an obit/death notice in today's Atlanta Journal-Constitution.

I believe this is the first time I've gotten a deadpool hit on my birthday.

[msc 17,738]

Happy birthday!

 

 

Sorry, DDT, doesn't really work if someone else mentions it. Otherwise I could just say to TMIB "Hey, big man, totally saw an Alan Aspin thing in the print Telegraph, honest..."

[Joey Russ 7,119]

Happy Birthday to Death Impends. 

 

I wonder if anyone will die on my birthday in a weeks time. Had I joined the forums in 2015, I probably would've put Jenny Diski on my team, and gotten a birthday hit then. 

[RadGuy 1,605]

Happy birthday, DI!

 

In other news, I've been obsessively checking Jupe's condition on Indonesian Twitter and Indonesian gossip sites.

 

Yesterday, she was picture lying with a black mask under her head.

I knew she hasn't long left.

 

And I just checked know, rumors are saying she has died.

Who is Jupe?

Julia Perez.

Next you'll be telling me the obituaries section of the Winkenhofer Pine Ridge Funeral Home isn't a valid news source.

Just realized how badly written this was.

Well, that's what happens to my communication skills after spending so much time reading poorly-translated Indonesian tweets.

 

Anyways, even though a couple more sites have started spreading Jupe death rumors, I think it's fake.

They all look sketchy and clickbaity.

 

The latest new from a credible source is just a fluff piece about how she always wore the tasbih (Islamic rosary) around her neck while in the hospital.

And her condition is "increasingly critical", but that's what they've been saying every day now.

 

[Joey Russ 7,119]

Does this count as a valid obituary  for Susan Stros? 

[Death Impends 7,361]

More low-hanger excitement that completely flew past me till now. Father Ed Schmidt died nearly a week ago.

More a well-respected local community figure than anything, so guessing he's two points rather than three?

No, DDT mentioned it above. Despite it referring to a print obit, and copy and pasting it, it doesn't actually link to the actual paper, so lacking of proof. I wouldn't worry though - her case was covered by a dozen QOs last month, so if none of them covering her dying in the next week...

 

As for Iain Reid, cremated 2 days ago, and not a sniff of a QO. I've even been checking the local death announcements in the papers for Gcreptile - not a Scooby snack so far.

[msc 17,738]

A priest with cancer died. However, he seems purely to have been a local community priest who only got regional press for being ill. Unique 2 pointer for Death Impends anyhow.

 

This is turning out a bit like that time Real Madrid smashed Bayern Munich 5-0 on aggregate...

 

.      DDT vs Rad’s Die-monds in the Sky (Rad Guy) 3-1

2.       “O” (Gcreptile) vs William Henry Harrison Die-in-a-Month Squad (Death Impends) 2-16

3.      101 Great Practical Jokes with Luciano Re Cecconi  (Spade Cooley) vs Deadsox 2-2

4.      The GUN’11 (Grim Up North) vs Heef 4-4

[maryportfuncity 9,991]

Re the suggestion a few posts back about a third place play-off; I think it'd be a good idea because it'd double the fun for us neutrals (i.e. those who crashed and burned earlier in the whole thing)

 

It'd be a right laugh if one of the defeated semi-finalists ran up the highest score that month.

[msc 17,738]

Well, it is extra work for the Semifinalists.

 

What I'll do is next month I'll PM each of the final four and ask them about a "3rd place playoff". If they all agree, it'll happen. If one person dislikes the idea, we'll go without, and no one need find out who.

Ouch. Gc's getting more than a taste of his own medicine here. However, good news for Grim or Heef - DI needs to scout out 7 more players for his semi final tie! And there's still a week to go to make it 8 or 9!

[msc 17,738]

Sasha Lakovic joins the list of folk awaiting a QO - see also Stros and Iain Reid.

 

Pivotal one, as it would give Deadsox the lead against Spade.

[Grim Up North 3,565]

Given a QO that is a shared hit for me and Heef so he stays ahead on youngest hits tiebreaker - the clock is ticking down on the GUN 11.

Yes, another part of the FFBI rule which needs tweaked, tbh, but its 5 days left to nab another hit, Grim.

[msc 17,738]

QO for this game. So then: Death Impends fell behind but won, DDT fell behind but is now ahead, and now...Spade falls behind. What happens next?

 

1. DDT vs Rad’s Die-monds in the Sky (Rad Guy) 3-1

2.       “O” (Gcreptile) vs William Henry Harrison Die-in-a-Month Squad (Death Impends) 2-16

3.      101 Great Practical Jokes with Luciano Re Cecconi  (Spade Cooley) vs Deadsox 2-4

4.      The GUN’11 (Grim Up North) vs Heef 6-6

[Heef 166]

3 fixtures very close... Perhaps best not to mention the fourth.

 

Anything can happen in the dying minutes of a Cup Quarter-Final.

 

And even with a tweaked FFBI rule, wouldn't Kaye still be the youngest non-shared hit between GUN and I? Still, the DL equivalent of a penalty shoot-out is bound to jangle the nerves.

[msc 17,738]

As it stands, Kaye, Lakovic and Betts produce a younger "average death", yes.

[Grim Up North 3,565]

It would be calculators out time if George Bush died and Marieke Vervoort freed herself from her pain in the next few days.

 

Other than Nevin who we both have Hamilton-Byrne is probably my best hope of breaking the dead lock.

[msc 17,738]

Catherine Nevin looks to have had the last laugh on all the teams so far. Anyhow, as April comes to a close in just over 48 hours, we have our first potential Semifinalist team in.

 

Reminder

DDT or Rad Guy vs Deadsox or Spade

Heef or Grim v Death Impends or Gcreptile
