#Winning the Election in the Sky...Duhh



So no one scores on the passing of Geraldine Ferraro which is a little sad, here at The Dead League we like to celebrate the lives of recently departed "celebrities." So it is with heavy hearts that we do not get to do so with Ms. Ferraro...wait this is a blog and we do what we want. No one scores but we will still have some fun, why could she not have run as VP for Gerald Ford? Gerald & Geraldine? best campaign stickers ever, people wouldn't know if it was an election for president, a cheesy 70's sitcom or a cheesy 70's porn which is fantastic. Actually can some one make either the sitcom or the porn we would enjoy either or both.... ok that is enough.

Some House Cleaning Deaths

In the past month, seeing this is not our full time job at The Dead League, we have missed a few "under the radar" deaths. We apologizes to the families of these people as their pictures will not be posted here, however the scoring has been updated to reflect these deaths. In order of passing;

Bruce Gordon - American Actor from TV's "The Untouchables"

Gordon Murray - Wall St. Banker/ Author died of Brain Cancer

Eunice Sanborn - Former Oldest Living American @ 114 years

scoring for these got a wee bit complicated as some qualified for blood baths and others for two in a row bonuses.

Cleopatra is Dead



And perhaps our most famous death of 2011 so far is Elizabeth Taylor, the "Mother of Survival." I bet she is eating those words now. Taylor 79 is a nice return with 41 points for Living in Oblivion as well as a bloodbath bonus for the death of Pinetop Perkins as well, that is an extra 25 points.

So Long Pinetop...



I don't believe there will ever be another Pinetop Perkins, mostly because children generally are not named "Pinetop." However a google search revealed that we have lost possibly the last "great pre-WWII" jazz musician. Can we agree that we are close to losing anyone who lived "pre-WWII" ? Anyway team Dead Presidents in now on the board with a score of 23 for this death.
