But does anyone really ever die Lookout?
:D
Grassy knoll grassy knoll. The moon landing...

I say just make your list whenever you damn well please -who's going to stop you? If you put the already dead on we'll all laugh and pioint and call you a fucktard. Or something. :D

Damn, I was sure I'd put Chemical Ali on mine. not that he's dead yet, but after execution is ordered, the Iraqis don't hang around do they? (groan)

Thanks for the setup, Cicero, classicman, and radar: gettin' snarky with a favorite hymn of mine -- verse 4...

I am the resurrection, I am the life
They who believe in me, even if they die
They shall live forever.

And I will raise them up,
And I will raise them up,
And I will raise them up on the last day.

And nobody had William F. Buckley. Well, he did as it were die in harness.

First blood today, eh? I did not have Charlton :(

And Prince Phillip is out of hospital.

Who did? - I must have missed it on the lists. Actually I don't know who I have at this point.

:lol:

also Spexxvet, radar and jester had him

Woo Hoo - and no that wan't luck at all - I planned it all out like that

{yeah right}

Bernie Mac and Isaac Hayes in the same weekend. Anyone have them?

I'm waiting for the third one. Celebrity deaths always come in threes. Personally I'm betting on Paul Newman.

I hope not, I'd like to see a sequel to Cars.

Newman has always held his private life pretty close to the vest. He's a pretty class act, and I wish he could live another 100 years. One of the last of the truly great actors.

I think this is Elizabeth Taylors' year. She's been at the edge of death so often, she has to fall over it sometime.

Well, one of them does ... unless the rope was too long ...

Completely Off Topic, but saw the grassy knoll yesterday and Houston Space center today. About 15 minutes in total..... :lol:

/speed tourists

My theory is that it was supposed to be Morgan Freeman but he got off with a broken arm.

No, he got off with the lady he was with BEFORE the arm broke. :-)

Robert Hazard died August 5, 2008. He's riding on the escalator of death. RIP.

Jerry Wexler anyone? The day the music died?

Not in mine, but a great loss and another who shaped the music world that the next generation or ten will probably never even know existed.

Jerry Wexler, Ahmet Ertegun...without these guys, who knows what rock and roll would have been? Clive Davis is getting up there, too. Hopefully he won't fall off a stage.

So how's the death pool scoring going? I got nuttin' :(

looks like a tie 0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0

Spexx had Charlton Heston....

so did you and jester and radar....

I'm experiencing a little deja vu here.... :lol:

who? me too. Must've been the wine

Nah, Ali's not here right now....


[this meow moment sponsored by Whiskas]

Gene Upshaw dead at 63.

Nobody had Paul Newman. I'm sad to see him gone.

Seconded - what a great man he was, especially later i his life when he gave so much back to so many charities...

Has Amy Winehouse survived Saturday?

I'm getting my Mum and Dad to help this year. Mum is great at pointing out people who are going to die. Not in an Angel of Death way, I hasten to mention. Just lucky (?)

Much better than HM. He predicted so many people in the time I lived with him - based mainly on them gaining or losing weight, or simply being a member of his family. Yup, all still alive! Okay, his Dad is ill, and I'm sorry for that, but he predicted his death a good few years ago now (sparking death fears in me about my Dad) And his bro is a healthy young man - due to die of liver failure any day now apparently (although I went to alcohol counselling with a man who drank a bottle of vodka a day and was in his early 60s with no liver damage). He does drink and smoke to much, but it's so horrible to hear him say to virtual strangers that his brother will be dead in five years tops.

Okay, I'm rubbish about predicting too, but at least I don't believe Alan Parker will be dead within 6 months because he's put on weight.

Oh and if you think consulting with my parents is cheating... piss off.

Well, I sure didn't have Forrest J. Ackerman. Did anybody?

Never heard of him

Anyone have Van Johnson?

Wow, I missed this.

Scifi's Number One Fan ... he was famous for not being famous.

I would love to have even a small percentage of his collection. Talk about Doodads!

Are they going to shoot his cremains into space or anything?

Pop Culture's dropping like flies. Any Bettie Page fans in here?

gee lemme see - maybe you should look in the thread dedicated to her?

Eartha Kitt and Harold Pinter slip in before the end of the year.
Not on anyone's list as far as I can see.

How come Zsa Zsa is still alive...?

I liked Eartha Kitt. Her "St. Louis Blues" is my favorite.

Why was she ever alive?

To establish a threshold for crass, maybe.
