Title: Bokkie oke vrek
Post by: Tonker on February 06, 2017, 10:07:46 AM
Joost van der Westhuizen, mere weeks after I finally gave up on his ever dying, has spun his last pass (https://www.theguardian.com/sport/2017/feb/06/joost-van-der-westhuizen-south-africa-rugby-great-dies).

Funny, because his death was announced hours ago, and I know that more than one Moran has this guy in his list.  It's almost as though his name was just copied off a "most likely to die" list somewhere without really knowing who he was.  I'm sure that's not the case, though.  I expect Pen, CD and Thrill just haven't checked their daily rugby websites yet.

That's some juicy butthurt right there.

Who the fuck is Joost van der Westhuizen and why would I be checking rugby websites?

I'm guessing Chuck D. was sincere and his picks were actually made a Dead Pool Bot he'd created.

Weezer aside, I thought we had to pick famous people in order to get points.
