He could not face life without Florence Henderson. It’s a merciless, unkind world we’ve entered…
ETA: A real obituary, from a real newspaper.

Also David Hamilton.
At first I was all like "Diddy David? Noooo…

Gallows humour. plz ignore.
Ohhhh. Right. Yeah, I’ll sort something out. Maybe a lil bit early yet, but there’s plenty of time to think about nominations and how to work out a fair system, just so that everyone can pick Orange Chump.

I don’t think there’ll be enough people playing to need h things like seedings or anything, so a straight list of ten names should be plenty. Bonus points if there’s a BoingBoing main-page item on them?
ETA: Goes without saying that people’s lists should be kept under wraps until Jan 1st.
Crushed by the wheels.

I’ve been keeping a death toll for 2016 thus far - been meaning to start a post on it but I’m waiting for when I have time in front of an actual computer to do this. It’s goddamn depressing.
