maryportfuncity 10,647 Posted November 19, 2018 Death Slam Form Guide #15 Norman Dewis Hits 98 in December and no stranger to a race having - amongst other motor sports outings - been part of the infamous Le Mans 1955 event; and perilously close to the worst accident in the history of motor sports. Norman's main day job from the mid 50's to mid 80's was as Jaguar's chief test driver; a position that makes obit coverage a shoo-in as and when. The man's hold on life and health continues to astound others. But it might make him a good cheeky pick for poolers in 2019. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Just to clarify, so will the joker be one of the 20 people on our list? Or will it be an additional person, i.e. a 21st person that we'll add to our list as a joker?

maryportfuncity 10,647 Posted December 1, 2018 Death Slam Form Guide #18 Noel Conway Mega-tragic this one; terminally ill and just lost the final stage battle of his right to die campaign.

Death Impends 7,979 Posted December 1, 2018 Death Slam Form Guide #19 Lawrence Ferlinghetti 2018 has proven a lackluster year for new 100 Club alumni. 2019 has a reasonable amount of interesting potentials to clock up a third digit, among those Lawrence Ferlinghetti, publisher of Allen Ginsberg's Howl. Will the oxymoron "centenarian Beat poet" become reality this upcoming March, or will his City Lights go out beforehand? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sir Creep 7,070 Posted December 2, 2018 Deathrace Form Guide #20: Pat Robertson The televangelist owner of the CBN Network and presenter of The 700 Club is looking for a new challenge. And Deathrace 2019 could be just the ticket. Pat Robertson is 88 years old Pat Robertson ran a failed presidential campaign in '88. One would be remiss to think it mere coincidence.

maryportfuncity 10,647 Posted December 2, 2018 Deathrace Form Guide #21 P.J. Proby US singer who's spent the bulk of his life resident in the UK. Fleeting pop success was sustained by the attention grabbing trick of having his tight trousers explode on stage on a regular basis (each one, apparently, an accident). Something of an Alex Higgins/George Best character and actually older than them both (just turned 80). Final gig this year, and a history of heart trouble and fondness for the sauce. Q/o a certainty unless his death corresponds with a calamity of 9/11 proportions. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sir Creep 7,070 Posted December 20, 2018 Deathrace Form Guide #25: Marsh Pratley Sir Creep was fishing around for a winner during the 2018 DL Cup competition, and hooked into British Casting Champion and owner of Orchid Lakes in Oxfordshire, as well as the founder of Anglers Against Cancer, Marsh Pratley. In Spring 2018 Pratley discovered he had stage 4 lung cancer and knew he 'didn't have much time left, at best I've got a few weeks'. Well by the looks of things, Marsh has discovered a holistic way to battle back lung cancer; basically giving it the middle finger. If this photo of Mr. Pratley taken a few weeks ago means anything, he's going to smoke and drink his way into 2019, but then again, who among us isn't? Don't get lured in by pretenders, let Marsh Pratley make you the big fish in the little pond. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
