Joey Russ 7,270 Posted January 26, 2019 19 hours ago, alt obits guy said: This is certainly shaping up to be an interesting day. Fatima Ali was my third rejected alt.obituaries deadpool pick to die in January. However, that's not why I'm posting. I had Bruce Corbitt in the Deadpool. Also picked him last year. However, he is not a guarantee to get a qualifying obituary. None of the metal sites will suffice. It needs to be picked up by either the local affiliate of a U.S. national network or Billboard, which profiled the band last August. We will see. Do you think the Dallas Observer would work?

Waiting to hear back on a 2nd option sent, but mostly just waiting to hear that Hulka has, himself, found an obit he'll accept. Thanks for trying. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sir Creep 7,072 Posted January 26, 2019 Billboard a slam dunk but the lesson here is don’t die on Friday afternoon if you want a quick QO. If Monday goes by then I’d say you’re fekked. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

alt obits guy 3,386 Posted February 2, 2019 As is the case with many others, I have Andrew McGahan in the deadpool. He'll be worth 14 points from everyone who selected him, once a QO comes down the wire. Edit: Sent off the Sydney Morning Herald obit, which will be sufficient for the hit to score.

When I said 'Still unofficial as a hit, but Billboard did come through', what I meant was I hadn't yet heard back from Hulka and, as such, the hit was still considered as not yet having counted. I knew the Billboard mention would be good as a source and it would count, it just hadn't yet been processed in the deadpool. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Joey Russ 7,270 Posted February 7, 2019 Really has been an interesting day. I also had John Cocksy Cocks on my list. A carry over, but also a replacement pick for a rejected name as I thought the trial might last him a while and kidney cancer doesn’t seem as deadly. Still, glad I carried him over especially since it means a daily double for me (and everyone else who picked him except Fisher)... 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I couldn’t sleep all night thinking about this after I read it but my phone was dead, charger was out in work trailer, so I couldn’t respond. Just how do you figure? Y’all didn’t announce Cocks’ death til after 9:30 CST when I went to bed, and it had most certainly been 12-18 hours into the next day in Australia. Assuming they announced his death rather quickly, it would have been the next goddamn day. I’ll be watching very fucking close for this ‘daily double’ of yours.
