Re: Celebrity Croakers 2019
I also debated ONJ as well, I think she will for sure be on my 2020 list, just unconvinced she's imminent enough for a 2019 pick LOL. I sound terrible.
I went with Bob Dole.
Just need jandro's pick now!

Also, Elijah Cummings, very sad, what a wonderful man.

No one had him this year, but Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi over the weekend. https://www.cnn.com/2019/10/27/polit...ine/index.html
(There was a heated debate in 2017 because one person had him and there were rumours he was killed but nothing from any main media outlet so it was disallowed... glad that was the right call, lol.)

And there's always a nagging doubt in my mind that a 'confirmed' death later is found out to be languishing in a black site somewhere.

I’ve got 3 sex offenders, a racist and a narcissist billionaire (not Donald!) on my list - why haven’t any of them croaked this year?

Re: Celebrity Croakers 2019
Nobody will have had him, and few will have heard of him, but I posted a video or 2 on food threads (cooking chicken livers for the masses!) and he died a week ago. Grandpa Kitchen from India loved to cook for his extended family and for the orphans, and few people get an outpouring of love when they die like he did. The video shows the family preparing his body and funeral pyre, so if you'd rather not see that, please look at one of the vids of him cooking instead.

I hadn't met him before either but I am glad I now have.

Re: Celebrity Croakers 2019
I dropped Clive James for this year - he hung on remarkably well for somebody who's been on his last legs for an absolute age. RIP. DaveLovesDee and Schookololy both in the points today...
