Fats Domino dies at 89. Ain’t that a shame?
89 is a pretty good run for someone named Fats.
According to that article he weighed 200 pounds. Hardly “Fats” today in America.
Ah, but he was only 2 foot 3!
ETA: That’s a true fact; you can look that up.

Well that was one of his song lyrics but most cites say “more than” 200 pounds. No he didn’t belong on My 600 pound Life but at 5" 4’ and over 200 lbs he wasn’t exactly svelte.
Actor Brent Briscoe dead at 56 after internal injuries from a fall.
Twin Peaks actors are dropping like flies. Did someone curse that show? :dubious:
Captain Klutz, cazwhatever, and minionkat picked Daisy Berkowitz (aka Scott Putesky).
Good catch… “Daisy Berkowitz” was changed to “Scott Petusky” instead of “Putesky”. Having corrected that, there were 5 players who picked Berkowitz/Petusky/Putesky/. Updated standings:

That sucks. I loved him in “A Simple Plan,” starring his fellow 2017 Death Pool cohort Bill Paxton.
Jack Bannon from Lou Grant and brother-in-law of John Travolta: Jack Bannon - Wikipedia
While there were picks for a guy named “Steve” Bannon, no Jacks…
At the risk of knocking myself from 14 to 25: as far as I can tell, I only have two kills – Joost van der Westhulzen and Gord Downie – for 102 points.
Having checked Wkipedia, everyone else on my list seems to be alive.
(My list so you don’t have to scroll back for it:
Mel Stottlemyre
Donald Trump
Luke Halpin
Rush Limbaugh
The Amazing Jonathan
Val Kilmer
William Perry
Gord Downie
Leah Bracknell
Joost van der Westhuizen
Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi
Kseniva Sobchak
Johnny Manziel)
I believe you are a victim of Schroedinger’s al-Baghdadi.
correct… having “given” points, I have not yet “taketh away”, hoping for confirmation one way or another over the next 60 days.
This. phungi declared al-Baghdadi dead for Death Pool purposes back here, so everyone with al-Baghdadi on their list has the points for him. Our Death Shroom has taken the position that there’s still time to wait before the final call is made for this year’s Death Pool on the claims that he’s actually still alive.
So there’s a distinct possibility that those of us who had him will have to give those points back before the end of the year, but for now we are still credited with them.
ETA: That what I get for being too wordy - phungi beats me to it with a much more direct explanation. 
He was one of my alternates :smack:
that brought a tear to my eye, it was so beautiful
Former local MP Frank Doran has died at 32 points.
And the youngest person on my list, Sauna Hoare, may be in dire danger.
