Edit: Does her husband always wear overalls? It seems like every photo of him that I see he's wearing overalls, even at some kind of awards show.

She & her husband were nominated for a Grammy this year so that's something. Was it sympathy nomination? I'll let you judge that.

Is there an echo in here?

Or, perhaps, 96; but her point value is so low that it isn't worth fussing over.

It's not in the news yet, but Jim Beaver posted on his FB page that singer Gogi Grant has died, age 91.

Most famous for The Wayward Wind.

Such a pointless death. The same for Gogi Grant.

28 points if his DOB is correct on Wikipedia. Just saying.

etv78 · #**115** 19th March 2016, 07:09 PM

His DOB as listed means my post is correct.

BJMoose · #**116** 19th March 2016, 07:17 PM

Check your math.

2016 minus 1944 is _____.

etv78 · #**117** 20th March 2016, 02:33 PM

Duh! I'm a future History teacher, NOT math! Get off my back! 😉

BJMoose · #**118** 20th March 2016, 04:48 PM

I can't help it. My older stepdaughter is a math teacher. . . .

1 point for every year short of 100 years old.
Second number is how many people you picked
Third number is unique picks

etv78 · #**125** 23rd March 2016, 02:34 PM

Former ball player and broadcaster Joe Garagiola dead at 10 points
"White Shadow" actor Ken Howard dead at 29 points. (Would've turned 28 points next week)

Carry on

(thank you etv78)

No prob Pansy!

Facebook is say Gary Shandling has died, hope it isn't true

Detroit Hoser · #**129** 24th March 2016, 01:50 PM

It's true, and it's sad. Only 66 years old.

Clothahump · #**130** 24th March 2016, 07:29 PM

Yep.

Mostly I remember her for The Miracle Worker.

mwm · #**133** 29th March 2016, 11:08 AM

Yes, she did. She was also married to John Astin for a time and the mother of Rudy Samwise. (That should hurt DrDeth's brain if he sees it)

Also, the guy who played the governor on Benson, James noble, died. He was 94.

JackieLikesVariety · #**134** 29th March 2016, 01:04 PM

Sad, 69 seems very young

They were "identical" cousins.

AuntiePam · #**136** 29th March 2016, 01:31 PM

Yep, identical cousins, that's it.

I remember snippets of the theme song. "They walk alike, they talk alike, sometimes they even [blank] alike" . . . "but they're cousins, identical cousins da da da da [something something] two of a kind."

BJMoose · #**137** 29th March 2016, 02:46 PM

. . . talk alike. You can lose your mind, when cousins are two of a kind!

Not that I was in the habit of watching The Patty Duke Show. Apparently some earworms are utterly unavoidable.

JoanieBaloney · #**138** 30th March 2016, 05:43 AM

She died from sepic caused by a ruptured intestine?

That sounds ghastly and preventable, no? Also that show sounds ghastly too.

A neighbor's intestine was nicked during a colonoscopy. He didn't die from the infection but he was in the hospital for quite awhile. Maybe something like that is what happened with her.

The show was fun, because of the naughty cousin. In the early 60's, the only naughty kid on TV was Eddie Haskell on Leave It to Beaver. It was cool, seeing a girl being kind of rebellious, adventurous.

And the camera work showing double characters was a novelty too, so there's that.

I quite liked this show but I preferred another one from roughly the same era, Karen.

But Patty Duke's wiki page is incredibly sad.

Baker · #**143** 2nd April 2016, 09:46 AM

For those of us who play this game I'm thinking about a new rule for 2017, and want some feed back on what you all think.

Currently people on Death Row are eligible for points, if they die by other than state sanctioned execution. I was thinking about putting those inmates off limits period. Why give those @#$%^& any more publicity than they already have?

I feel a little guilty about this, because last year I got points for such a person, and I currently have a DR inmate on my 2016 list.

Should sentiment go against have DR inmates, I'll give up any points for the guy currently on my list. If you all don't have anything against having inmates on the list, then I'll keep those points should they become available this year. However, I won't have the inmate on next years list.

So, what do players think?

Borborygmi · #**144** 2nd April 2016, 10:05 AM

I'm okay with death row inmates continuing to be eligible... it's nice to have potential feel-good points available. I don't have the leader of ISIS on my list to get him publicity.

I'd rather the rule staying the same.

Merle Haggard has died at 79, to the day.

*Rebo* · #**147** 6th April 2016, 11:20 AM

God damn it. I love his music.

Tom and I were planning on going to his and Willie Nelson's tour "Django and Jimmie" this year, but it got cancelled when Merle got double pneumonia. Last I heard, he was doing better!

Crap.

Baker · #**148** 6th April 2016, 01:47 PM
