Thanks. A good reminder to check your lists, as many of the picks on the Themed Pool are under the radar.

Rank Player Score Picks(Unique) Theme
1 Happy_Lendervedder 48 1(1) Lou Gehrig
2 Pardel-Lux 38 2(2) German players in the 1966, 1970 and 1974 FIFA World Cups

7 Biotop 12 1(1) Dark Shadows
8 Dancer_Flight 11 1(1) Star Trek IV
9 Shoeless 0 1(1) Guest stars from the original Twilight Zone

And I’m still looking for eleven points for Tina Louise but she keeps hanging on.

No takers for QEII

Looks like I missed her Obit, but her Wikipedia page has been updated. Carolyn Balderson-Parry passed away at 76 or 77 back in April.

Wikipedia doesn’t have her exact birthday, so I guess it will be 23 points.

Not this year. But I had her and Gorbachev on my list two years ago.

Since they listed her age as “76-77”, 23 points and a Unique Pick:

Dodie Weir died at the age of 48 points for me.

That pretty much gives you an insurmountable lead for this game.

there’s still more than a month, but looking… well… grim?

On the contrary, I’d say things are falling into place quite well.

Don’t speak too soon. If everyone on my list travels together on a fateful flight that goes tragically wrong, before year’s end, I am within ear shot.

Yes, I’m about to send notifications to all my listees that they have won a wonderful prize. Show up to claim on such and such a date and place.

I haven’t worked out the rock from space part but that’s just basic math.

Profit.

Literally hours after I posted into the 2023 themed pool, someone from my list dies. 21 points please!

21 points, indeed:

Jim Carr, Canadian Member of Parliament and former cabinet minister, dead if cancer at 71. Jim Carr, Manitoba MP and former Liberal cabinet minister, dies after battle with cancer | CBC News

Perhaps I should mention that Jim Carr is on my list :slight_smile: for 29 points. I have had him on my main list in years past, but I figured when he ran for re-election that his cancer was under control so he is only on my “The Canadians” list. He was in the House of Commons when the last bill he sponsored was passed just last week. When his death was announced in the House there were audible gasps. Worked right up until the end and well liked by both sides of the house.

Unique Pick, and into 2nd place:

Pelé was on his list and was German?

I am afraid you got it wrong, Pelé was on my normal list, not on the THEMED one. And 38 2(2) remains my score: Jürgen Grabowski and Uwe Seeler.
