15 Things You Didn’t Know About Death
Interesting and morbid. Just like us.
First Three-Bagger Complete!
It was a radical shift in the world of deadpoolin’ – but the first Three-Bagger is – ahem - in the bag.
With the timely passing of Ernie Harwell, Ghosts of Stiffs Past won it with … And This Is My Other Carcass Daryl – with Daryl Gates and Merlin Olsen rounding out the trifecta. Congrats to our latest winning corpse counter.
That was so much fun, we started another one. Go give her a try, and maybe YOU can be the next Big Winner. Choose carefully, grasshopper.
Who IS that guy?
Interesting page with pictures of people you recognize, but don’t necessarily KNOW. This is a great example of why we have the all-powerful Fame Committee.
