YoungWillz 21,026 Posted February 29, 2020 Today and for the next few days we keep an eye out for that elusive butterfly. A DDP hit on 29 February. Let's hope another 4 years doesn't have to pass. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

In recent days one of the hosts on my radio's 60s station was mentioning quite a bit how the 8th anniversary of Davy Jones's death was coming up. Dying on Feb 29 is pretty much the only way one will make such a deal about the 8th anniversary! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Perhaps 1,423 Posted March 2, 2020 Not sure if this is worth posting as a DDP noob, but I noticed one team has actress Peggy Stewart as an unique pick, but she died in May last year 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Joey Russ 7,220 Posted March 3, 2020 I don’t think it’ll be that impactful since the Guardian will still cover a lot of those names, but there’s certainly some names now you’d have to think twice about before you put them on your team. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sir Creep 7,070 Posted March 6, 2020 Hey there is a problem with my Made In Detroit team. I never put 'John Edwards' the politician from North Carolina. That makes no sense. Now I have no idea what 'Edwards' it is, though Dennis Edwards (the Temptations) makes sense . It sure as hell wasn't a person from North Carolina on a team called Made In Detroit. I don't have my paperwork with me..... you have my email @msc and I'm guessing I posted here on these pages. Let's figure it out. Christ....the things you have to do around here....
