Anyway, why are you so keen to have a separate thread for Roberta McCain? There's not much to say about her. Who are the committee anyway? Are they manatees that push idea balls around? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Arsewipe 202 Posted August 9, 2020 I hope this fucker is ditched next year. If not we may as well just pick 50 of the oldest parents of famous people. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sir Creep 7,070 Posted August 10, 2020 94 w Alzheimer's - Gates is a fine pick and should be ridden to the bitter end just like all the Kirk Douglas’s of DL. Bravo on this near perfect selection! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Bravo on this near perfect selection! The problem with Gates isn’t his illness. The problem is he is just the dad of a far far more famous son and nothing else. What next, Andrea Swift deserves to be on the list cause of her brain tumor? Give me a fucking break. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If the DL continues with the parents of, then Ben Stokes dad (and I do not even know his name) should be shoved on. He will get an obit but only because his kid hasn't beaten the shite out of anyone recently. Sorry. Won the cricket world cup. Tis a slippery slope as more people get a name because of a relation of some sort. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Tis a slippery slope as more people get a name because of a relation of some sort. While I agree with the general point, Ged Stokes was actually a rugby (league) player of the 1970s and went to be the manager of international teams so has some notability. In rugby league. Apparently some folk prefer that to rugby union, but DJL isn't here anymore so we'll avoid a long book on the subject in the replies! Not DL level notability of course, but more than Bill Gate's dad - the lowest of low bars. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Youth in Asia 1,087 Posted August 11, 2020 Similarly Bill Gates' wife is only famous because she's his wife, and she bullied him into giving him his billions so she can give it away to poor people and look like Mother Theresa. (Ok maybe not Mother Theresa). You could argue his father contributed far more than his wife has done to M$, but I don't think either have done enough in their own right to make it onto such a list. Only Billy himself would have that honour. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Elvis is alive! 76 Posted September 2, 2020 Doesn't seem like he is noteworthy enough to be on this list. If he is, I just want the committee to know for next year that my Mother-In-Law is turning 90. Maybe she would make the cut for 2021. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
