Sir Creep 7,070 Posted May 8, 2018 MMMDP Form Guide #34 - Donnie & Ronnie Galyon Q: What round on both sides and high in the middle? A: O-HI-O A2: a wheelchair used to cart a pair of wild and crazy brothers around. Chang and Eng Bunker held the record for the longest surviving conjoined twins, and did so for over a century. Then came a pair of Ohioans, the Galyon twins. Surpassing the record (63 years) in 2014, they continue to advance the record with each breath. Meaning they MUST have reached their end stage, no? History says it's time for these 66-year olds, and we use the plural loosely, to depart. Why choose one celeb when you can have TWO, and be joined at the hip with these fellows for MMMDP 2018.

Spade_Cooley 9,538 Posted May 9, 2018 MMMDP Form Guide #35 - Kavana While the Yanks have Celebrity Rehab as their holding pen for deadpool picks, over in Perfidious Albion we use Celebrity Big Brother. Why not shy away from the normie call of Daniella Westbrook and instead go with Kavana, who checked into rehab last year and has been fighting drink and drug issues ever since he.... I don't even know. I thought he sang "Breath Again" but that was Adam Rickett. Also, his knee looks like an aerial photo of Terry Nutkin. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

A fair point and one not covered in the rules so let's remedy this: 1 - Conjoined twins tend to take each other rapidly out when one dies - but if you're picking two it's local time of death for the SECOND one. 2 - The prize stays the same (though feel free to argue the toss about FOUR pints/ TWO double spirits if we ever meet at a DLCon) 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

maryportfuncity 10,655 Posted May 10, 2018 MMMDP Form Guide #37 Peter Falk S'funny but every time we do a form guide someone always recycles the same old jokes and you can - kind of - remember them, but they also seem kind of new. I think there's a name for the condition that does that to you but I'm fucked if I can remember how to pronounce it and spelling it always gave me a headache. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

maryportfuncity 10,655 Posted May 20, 2018 MMMDP Form Guide #39 Dame Vera Lynn 101 year old living national treasure and reportedly crumbling a lot less than those chalk cliffs she was warbling about whilst Hitler's henchmen were shooting up the bomber crews who regarded those cliffs as a sight of sactuary. We've watched with interest as other extreme oldsters have clung on with resolution and slowly succombed to the inevitable. She's summat of a long shot in that regard. Care home resident but still notable for intact marbles...at least she is today. Could a stroke of dead pooling luck be just round the corner? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
maryportfuncity 10,655 Posted May 20, 2018 MMMDP Form Guide #40 Peter Tork 76 year old former member of the pre-fab four (Monkees). The man's cancer battle was carried out in the public domain nine years ago with him using Facebook as a news channel and means of inciting friends and fans to stump up cash for cancer research. His current website diverts those in search of news to FB where the man appears active and willing to combine day to day events with photos of activities like talking about the history of folk music. Into Zen Buddhism, healthy eating and the worthy end of the hippie dream - so he looks like a long shot. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
maryportfuncity 10,655 Posted May 20, 2018 MMMDP Form Guide #41 Ian St John Turns 80 seven days into the MMMDP. If we gave out partial points for loss of diseased body parts then the bladderless and prostate-less St John would already have a smattering of such rewards. Former television "personality" and a Scots international who knocked in a creditable nine international goals in 21 appearances (the kind of return many highly rated modern strikers would want per international game). The jury's out on when he'll score for dead poolers though his increasing popularity on the DDP is some indication of the esteem in which he is held. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Bibliogryphon 9,588 Posted May 21, 2018 MMMDP Form Guide #42 June Whitfield. A June for June. I could have picked one from 4 and I almost did a 4 in one form guide but I thought I would go with the National Treasure. Star of Carry On, Terry & June, Ab Fab. Now reported to be in frail health but does have a scheduled interview with Gyles Brandreth next month so she might be looking for an excuse. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Spade_Cooley 9,538 Posted May 21, 2018 MMMDP Form Guide #43: Enzo Apicella I've always felt that 1922 was the most deadpooly year (just check its alum), so why not skip the obvious picks like Betty White, Stan Lee and Bill Macy and go with someone out of left-field. Possibly the only man in history to combine the careers of political cartoonist and interior designer, Enzo Apicella created the decor for Pizza Express back in the 1960s, rejecting the chianti-bottle-and-checked-tablecloth look of traditional Italian restaurants in England, and still publishes one satirical cartoon a day. Could be a "cult pick", could be a bust... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
