Derby Dead Pool 2012

Recommended Posts

I'm not sure why you'd need an additional source, whether it be HP or anything else, but as you're in charge, its entirely up to you.

I can see the argument for Huff Post, but I don't like it. It's going to make "dying bride/mother who needs cancer medication/inspirational vlog recording dying teenager" obits a lot easier to get, which is the last thing the DDP needs.

 

I'm gonna feel seedy enough making ol' dying Korean with religious parents broad my captain next year as it is, I don't need her accompanied by a supporting cast of similarly unfamous peeps.

Well I put a fair whack of the names still on the List of the Lost through the search function on the Huffington Post UK website and none of them came up so make of that what you will...

Points for "Mummy and Deady"?

 

You bet! The pages should be updated this afternoon...

 

EDIT: Or so I hoped but there seems to be a problem with the server!

UK obit for Dr Anthonia Onuoha.

 

Well done, DDT on another richly deserved win . But I think next year will be a tighter contest...

 

It was pretty close getting into December. But, there may yet be a twist...

Fair play DDT, it's not been as breathtaking as last year's win but it was a consummate performance. If last year was Brazil this year was Germany.

 

And, as always, thanks to TMiB for running the whole shebang.

12 hits, 104 points, still pretty boss. But there will be no declarations until January 1st...

Vincent A. Ostrom died in June, only 17 days after his wife...

Blimey, for once the woman gets all the attention! I imagine there's no obit?

I'm considering including the UK edition of Huffington Post from 2013 as a legitimate site for obits.

 

Any thoughts?

 

No strong opinions either way. They're credible enough, but only because a lot of others had already fallen to HP levels of celebrity tittilation before they arrived. It'll count for the Deathrace, but that's summat of a low-hanger fest anyway. The real test is what difference - if any - it might have made to this year's DDP result.

Just submitted my 2013 picks and hoping for the best ... or worst. :) It'll be a learning experience, anyway.
