MMMDP Form Guide #6-7 Lê Đức Anh and Đỗ Mười

 

Two old Vietnamese leaders who ruled the country during the Fall of Communism. Now hospitalized in 108 Ho Chi Minh hospital and sharing the room, while the hospital staff does everything to keep them alive. How long before we realize they are not so immortal?

And people waving the rule book around at SirC giving him the business.  It's all good.  Where is Rule 12 again?

You know if you over-indulge....you obitable by way of local papers etc?

 

Just askin'

In my head I would have an outside chance but in reality no-one would give a toss apart from family, friends and work colleagues so no chance.

MMMDP Form Guide #12: Fred Ottman

 

 

Mistakenly reported dead on the DL already, will the Tugboat finally get towed out to sea this June? Our Fred never got his hands on a world title during his wrestling career, but can he shock the deadpooling universe and bag the MMMDP gold? Hospitalised in January and given the usual "prayers for..." social media clarion call from fellow professionals, it'd be a natural disaster if you missed him.

Might want to look for Rule 4 too.

 

These form guides aren't actually entries to the game, rather a means of keeping the thread active before the game actually starts.

MMMDP Form Guide #13 Raymond Briggs

 

The Children's author and Illustrator is now 84 and has been looking increasingly frail and was awarded a CBE last year. Will the Wind Blow for Raymond this June?

[YoungWillz 21,076]

Form Guide #14 Richard O'Sullivan

 

Man About The Brinsworth House.

 

[Death Impends 8,008]

MMMDP Form Guide #15: Joe Vento

 

 

Veteran accordionist and ivory tickler who has performed with numerous industry greats, most notably Frank Sinatra. He joined the Three Suns band in 1953, a group that previously recorded the original instrumental version of "Twilight Time" (best known for the Platters's vocal version) - a time that Joe, afflicted by that double whammy of deadpooling favorites called pancreatic cancer and being 100, is in himself.

MMMDP Form Guide #16: Ben Dover

 

 

From one jazz superstar to another. It's been a bit quiet from Mr Simon Drew recently since he announced he was suffering from bladder cancer last February, and who better to win this tournament than a man who has undoubtedly said "Mmm, DP" a number of times in his life. Fun fact: before turning to grumble he was a session drummer who once played with Edison Lighthouse.

MMMDP Form Guide #17

 

 

Anne Hamilton-Byrne

 

Depressingly durable in her Alzheimer's addled dotage.One-time supremo of surreal Aussie cult The Family that collided Village of the Damned visual sensibilities with levels of care for their charges commensurate with the way gypsies are reputed to treat the homeless types they employ to lay tarmac. Perhaps the deterioration in her faculties is the reason she failed to die of shame when the documentary movie exposing her evils became a cult smash. In the twilight zone of her mid-90's and allegedly riddled with cancer but also a source of severe frustration to MPFC who's wasted vital dead pool team selection on stubborn carcass.

MMMDP #18

 

 

Donald Trump

 

Not exactly short of enemies and known for breaking with almost every presidential tradition held dear by his countrymen (and women). Not known as someone capable of understanding irony but - maybe - a candidate for one of the ultimate political ironies given his vocal support for gun ownership.
