BBC News is tweeting that Alex Hay, a BBC golf announcer has passed away at age 78 after a short battle with cancer. No link found yet.
Quasi interrupting for just a moment to ask if this thread has ever been on a newscast, because I think that a game like this is VERY newsworthy.
Thanks
Q
His Wikipedia page has been updated with a 2011 death, but no cites. Plus, he’s still under the “Living People” tag.
I have seen or read news stories about death pools and the concept of death pools, but I’ve never heard of a story about OUR death pool.
Jaroslav Jirik, first Czech in NHL, dies at 71
A first from the then Communist country.
I have heard there is (was?) a big celebrity ghoul pool in St Louis area for real money. It is not pocket change to enter and winner can earn thousands of dollars. I know no details about their pool other than it exists (or used to exist).
I’ve heard about Dead Pools since the 80’s. It all started when Greta Garbo died and the DJ said something like, " Everyone forgot about her, (something something) death pool points."
Well, stick a fork in me, I’m done. And Zsa Zsa lives on.
Ahmed Wali Karzai, a younger brother of Hamid Karzai, Afghanistan’s president, and one of the country’s most powerful men, has been shot dead by one of his bodyguards, according to a provincial official.
David Lee “Deacon” Turner, 56, a former running back for the Cincinnati Bengals, was shot and killed by a California deputy in front of a convenience store after he allegedly hit an officer with a bag holding two cans of beer.
Turner played with the Bengals from 1978 to 1980 and had long arrest history after his playing career was finished.
Sherwood Schwartz, dead at age 94. Its a story of a corpse name Schwartz.
I think Sherwood scans better:
*It’s the story, of man named Sherwood
Who’s now pushing up the daisies in SoCal
ataraxy22 now gets 6 points
The only one who does
*
Or
Juuuuuust sit right back and you’ll hear a tale
A tale of man named Schwartz
Who toddled off this earthly coil
And left with just six points
Which means that more than half the entrants have now scored points this year.
**
THIS.**

Oh rub it in, whydontcha?
Edit: OK, this is what I get for leaving my edit window open and playing that one last game of Angry Birds… 
Hey, at least when I do the monthly updates I omit the names of the [del]miserable failures[/del] people with lists that may bear fruit later in the year.
dammit.
