Slocombe? Did his wife work in women’s wear at Grace Brothers?
Don’t know. Slocombe was a noted cinematographer, working on many, many famous movies.
In November Ellen Albertini Dow will turn 100. One of the most active female character actresses, her roles in movies and TV are almost beyond counting.
How did you miss Spanish painter Angeles Santos Torroella who died this week at the age of 101?
Torroella would not have been worth any points, Baker did not pick anyone who did not have the initial potential to net her at least one point. Unfortunately for her, these nonagenarians seem to be much tougher old birds than she had hoped for. Perhaps she should mail them all some lovely artery-clogging treats.
I like the way you think! Hmmm, butter, eggs, sugar, chocolate chips.
I have a cookie recipe that has peanut butter, butter, sugar, eggs, chocolate chips and M&M’s, oatmeal. Actually, it’s a good recipe for people with a sensitivity to wheat gluten, as it has no flour.
Except that oatmeal and (dark) chocolate are actually kind of good for heart health. Maybe you should try your hand at deep-frying in partially hydrogenated palm oil.
Why do you want the Death Mistress to deep-fry her hand?
The problem with picking old people in the Death Pool is that they’ve gotten into the habit of living. And we all know how hard it is to break a habit.
Career criminal Mark Brandon “Chopper” Read dies of liver cancer, age 58.
Finally, a death with points that count!
Congrats to Fear Itself, who stays in third place, zoog, who jumps from sixth to fourth, and BACI, who goes from sixty-fifth to thirty-fifth place.

If I have learned anything from this game, it is this: being on my list may keep you alive, but being on my preliminary list for next year will hasten your demise.
Had him last year. Didn’t make it this year. Crap
Don’t be greedy CAMJAY! 
Former Cubs star Andy Pafko had a good bat, a memorable nickname and a reputation as one of the friendliest players in the game. Pafko, 92, died Tuesday in a nursing home in Stevensville, Mich.
Made me click the link to see what the memorable nickname was.
Handy Andy Pafco
Philip Chevron, guitarist for the Pogues, died of esophageal cancer, age 44 points. I had him five years ago.
Vixen founder and lead guitarist Jan Kuehnemund is no longer living on the edge of a broken heart.
I haven’t thought of Vixen in years. Time to fire up the ol’ YouTube and relive my childhood.
Yet, my picks are all healthy and have never felt better. SIGH
At least, they are healthy, some of mine (Sharon & Gabor) are already on their deathbed and yet, they refuse to go.
