Oh, just send it to me. I’m sure he wouldn’t mind.
Sad news, and my fault, because he had been on my list the last couple of years but I didn’t get my list in this year… RIP, Mr. Randi.
Dancer and model Marge Champion succumbs at the age of 101.
Marge Champion Dead: 'Snow White' Model and Dancer Was 101 - Variety!
I saw her pictures when she was young, absolutely gorgeous.
Jerry Jeff Walker, Texas singer and songwriter, dies at 78.
RIP; thanks for all the great songs, but especially for Mr. Bojangles.
If the rule is that you get 100 points minus the deceased person’s age for a correct guess, does that mean that if anyone had put Marge Champion on their list they would get minus one point?
Yes, though I think almost everyone avoids putting people over 100 unless they are going for the “quantity, not quality” award.
Everyone over 100 is zero points, no matter how far beyond 100 they are, AAUI
eschereal is right. In this game you don’t lose points for centenarians. On another board that I moderate, based in the UK, one does lose points, although I’ve asked the players there about changing the rule next year. See I’m at negative eight points over there for Roberta McCain.
Coal magnate (and John Oliver target) Bob Murray dead at 80.
Mr. Nutterbutter will be heartbroken.
I had Randi and Ginsburg as two of the three picks on my alternate list. Kim Woo-Bin should be worried.
As a counter-proof to the “if you skip him, he dies”, I stopped putting Jiang Zemin on my list 10 years ago or so and he’s still alive!
Viola Smith, pioneering Jazz Drummer, dead at 107.
Stalwart British comedian Bobby Ball has died of COVID-19, aged 76. Known as part of a double-act (Cannon and Ball) and solo, including acting in sitcoms, he was a very popular and apparently genuinely nice man.
Travis Roy dies at 45. Paralyzed 11 seconds into his collegiate hockey career, he became an advocate and fundraiser for people with spinal cord injuries.
I’ve heard the story about his injury many times. Very sad story, but it sounds like he did a lot in his life.
