Mike, if you run the table, is this going to be the last Deadpool?

Great question. How do people feel about continuing the deadpool? I'm thinking of taking off 2021 and seeing how we feel about it next Thanksgiving.

After the year that 2020 has been...

Chuck Yeager, 97 years old.

John Le Carre.

Nobody had her, but the squeaky-voiced cop from police academy died.

Screech.

Damn. He was only 44.

Hal Holbrook, dead at 95.

Christopher Plummer, dead at 91.

Rush Limbaugh. 70.

Finally.

When I was 14, Rush told me: those other people are lying to you, I'm telling you the truth. It took college for me to snap-out-of-it, but I still see that simple trick used everywhere, and am weary/cautious when it's used by people I support. Thanks for the life lesson, I guess.

George Segal.

Jessica Walter.

Damn.

Awww.

Can we just rename this the In Memorium thread? The fact that it looks like we’re playing a game based on dead people- when we’re not- is pretty morbid.

Or start a new thread, I suppose, since this one is still 2020.

I mean- but the games over, right? We haven't been updating the scores have we?

Right. The game ended December 31st. I won. The rest of this has just been force of habit, I assume

Beverly Cleary

Damn.

Finally.

Was forced to listen to him for hours most every day as a Non-Political State Employee in my Non-Political State Office Building populated almost exclusively by White Men two-to-three times my age. Those were the days, I tell you what! Nothing like hearing about the feminazis while dudes roll past leering at your legs or Whatever. Or about the Democrats destroying the world by trying to protect the environment, as you're working on projects to either destroy the environment or make up for having done so.

G. Gordon Liddy.

Prince Phillip, age 99.

DMX at 50.

Renamed this thread. Will move it out of the Games forum soon.

Bernie Madoff 82.

Mike missed one.

Christopher Plummer was one of Tahlvin's. Passed away Feb 5th.

The dead pool was from last year, so it doesn't count. And we're not playing a dead pool this year, since it seems too morbid after a pandemic year.

Walter Mondale

Gregory Jacobs a/k/a Shock G a/k/a Humpty Hump. 57.

Michael Collins, astronaut, 90. The guy who had to stay in the orbiter while Neil and Buzz went to go play on the moon.

I did a short bit on him on the podcast last year.

Fascinating guy. While orbiting the moon, he spent a lot of time thinking about what it'd be like if he had to go back to earth alone.

Michael Collins in many ways was the most relatable of the three. Didn't get to go play on the moon, just sat there and waited and hoped for the best, pretty much exactly what most of us do when there is a historic event.

We should move this thread out of the gaming section.

I know. But I only think of it when I'm on my phone, and the mobile format doesn't include thread moving in my admin options. I keep trying.

Let me go try the laptop now that I'm thinking of it at home for once.

Tawny Kitaen, 59.

That feels out of the blue, right?

Running my 1952 tourney this month and he was already favored going in. It's truly a classic....


Stagger Lee also amazing.

Bo. 13?

Charles Grodin, 86.

I haven't seen him in much, but he was so good in "Midnight Run," which is a great damn movie.

Includes one of my favorite quotes:
Grodin: "Jack, you're a grown man, you have control over your own words."
De NIro: "You're goddamned right I do, so here come two words for you: shut the fuck up!"

Ned Beatty

John McAfee, found dead in a Spanish prison.

The last decade of his his life is ripe for a movie. He fled Belize after his neighbor was found dead. Moved of a different country every few years after that. Got into cryptocurrencies. Decided to stop paying taxes for several years. Ran for president. Was about to be extradited for tax evasion, money laundering, and fraud.

I don’t think any death should be celebrated, but I don’t mourn him. He was a scumbag, drug addict and alleged rapist. I’m sure he was mentally ill, but he was rich enough to insulate himself from needing to seek treatment.
