Who is this Person, this "Rachm Qoch?"

We have so many interesting person on the Dope. Few I think are more interesting, or perhaps more mysterious than Rachm Qoch.

Consider:

  1. He (she?) is a Member, but not a Charter Member. He joined on 12 January, 2004.

  2. He has only seven posts. The vast majority of them are in the Death pool thread. He has never started a thread.

  3. He has a commanding lead in the Death Pool. Came from nowhere, and dominates.

Conclusion? Not really enough data, but I suspect that Rachm Qoch take the Death Pool game much more seriously than the rest of us. I bow down before him.

For the record, here is the list that is doing so well this year. I am simply pleased that I am not on it.

  1. Pope John Paul II (Holy Father)
  2. Larry David Norman (Godfather of Christian Rock)
  3. Father Barry Ryan (Bad, Bad Father)
  4. Gene Scott (Christian Televangelist)
  5. Tammie Faye Bakker Messner (Christian Televangelist, Surrealist)
  6. Louis Rukeyser (Finacial Televangelist)
  7. Terri Schiavo (Catholic, ACLU Crosshairs)
  8. Yon Hyong Muk (Commie Korean Commander)
  9. Norodom Sihanouk (King of Cambodia)
  10. Abdul Aziz al-Hakim (Could-be Iraqi Chief)
  11. William Rehnquist (Chief Justice)
  12. Jack Chalker (SF Writer)
  13. James Doohan (SF Actor)

Alts:
Augusto Pinochet (Despot)
Mohammed Deif (Moslem Militant)
Scott Weiland (Jaded Junky)

If this is some kind of a subtle hint to update the Death Pool already, I know and I’m working on it. :wink:

Tammie Faye Bakker’s dead?!? Really?

No, but ‘The Cancer is back.’ She was looking so poorly that any attempt at humor would be tasteless. I wish her the best.

For the record, my guess (in answering the thread title) is The Grim Reaper.

Well, that’s cast rather a gloom over the evening, hasn’t it?

Let’s look at the name Rachm Qoch. An obvious anagram of “Choq March” or “Chalk Mark”. As in “keeping a tally using a chalk on a board” or perhaps even a reference to the mistaken concept of police putting chalk outlines around bodies.

So does TGR carry a sickle and a piece of chalk?

It looks like a Klingon surname to me.

Klingon? c’mon, it’s phonic. The guy’s a cock. Rack’em cock to be exact. Rack’em means “set up a new game of billiards”. Billiards, as in ‘pool’. They guy has set them up and is knocking them down, just like a game of pool. And he understands that people would find him to be a cock. It’s against the Grim Reeper’s rules to use his actual name, so he’s using a nom de guerre.

No fair! If the Grim Reaper is in the pool, it’s like that old Far Side where God was kicking some poor guy’s ass at Jeopardy.

My God! I just reread the list! Lou Rukeyser is a dead man! Bummer, I liked his smirk.

AND DOES HE TALK LIKE THIS?
