Thanks- so, the only way for Rachm to be dethroned is if Johnny Jones, or Tolimir die in the next 15 days, unless Abu Ayyub al-Masri also dies. I’m seeing Captain Murdoch throwing Johnny Jones into the cart, and Johnny saying “But I’m not dead yet!”
The chloroform would keep him quiet.
Actually, I find the sweet scent of chloroform quite…
… oh, you mean Johnny Jones.
Sammy Baugh has died.

The thread search function takes too long
W Mark Felt, aka Deep Throat.
Yes, No, No. But nobody had the latter two.
Nobody had him in 2008, but a couple of people need to revise their 2009 list.
I just heard Kathy Staff died last week, aka Nora Batty.
Dock Ellis, who in 1974 pitched a no-hitter while under the influence of LSD, died yesterday of liver disease.
Surprisingly, it doesn’t appear anyone picked her. I would have thought a Trek actress would be on someone’s list.
Not one of the regulars – the writers wouldn’t allow a death. Bones would pass some glittery shiny noisy thing over the body, the eyes would open, and Bones would go into his, “Ah shucks, I’m only an old country doctor” routine.
Two more from baseball:
Negro Leagues infielder Carlos Manuel Santiago, who played for the New York Cubans in 1945 and '46, has died at the age of 82.
Pitcher Dave Smith, who saved 216 games and made two All-Star Game rosters during a career spent mostly with the Houston Astros, has passed away at the age of 53.
Lansana Conte, who spent the past 24 years as Guinea’s strongman, has died at the age of 74.
Ai Iijima, former porn star, more recently author, news commentator and TV celebrity, has just passed away at age 36.
Cause as yet unknown.
Very sad.
Checking through the lists, nobody picked her this year, though I know she’s been a pick in past years.
Paul Weyrich, who coined the phrase “moral majority” and served as the first president of the Heritage Foundation, has died at the age of 66.
Harold Pinter, the British dramatist who won the Nobel Prize for Literature in 2005, has died at the age of 78. On a personal note, I appeared in Applicant and Dialogue For Three during a festival of one-act plays when I was in college.
