Man, I have 4 vacancies to fill (so far), better get thinking....
I always though prince Phillip would die before the Queen, but now I'm not so sure. I kinda want to add her, but all y'all have her already, and that would be 20% of my list. I could swap them out but I can't let Phileeep go... decisions decisions.... |
1. John Madden
2. Bill Cosby 3. Chevy Chase 4. Barbara Bush 5. George R R Martin 6. Trump 7. Don Rickles 8. Chuck Berry 9. William Shattner 10. Jerry Jones |
1) Leslie Phillips (in honor of Sundae)
2) Stuart Hall 3) Kanye West 4) Prince Phillip 5) Liz Dawn 6) George Bush Snr 7) John McCririck 8) Kirk Douglas 9) Diane Rehm 10) Steve Martin people I'm sure to kill by not adding: Dick Cheney, Honor Blackman, Alan Alda, Vera Lynn, The Queen (I suspect they are all immortal). I also didn't put Trump on my list..... |
1 Mary Kate Olson
2 Joe Namath 3 Dick Cheney 4 Charlie Manson 5 George H. W. Bush 6 Dolly Parton 7 Iggy Pop 8 Ted Danson 9 michael keaton 10 Chris Christie |

And 2016 just had to have ONE more. Father Mulcahey from MASH, age "he was still alive?", on New Year's Eve.
|
Nobody ever told me...since I went 0 for 10, can I just roll my list over? And ffs, is Nikki Sixx disqualified???
|
As i said before: you have to do a whole new list, but it can be the same as your old one. Duh. :rolleyes:
I don't know from nikki six. I don't even. |

It was to illustrate an idle musing rather than statement of fact?

Queen Elizabeth II
Prince Philip Pete Townsend Rod Stewart Donald Trump Betty White June Whitfield Keith Richards Bernard Haitink Bobby Charlton Sent by magic. |
Lil Wayne
Lady Gaga Montel Williams Queen Elizabeth 2 Michael J. Fox Toni Braxton Nick Cannon Tom Hanks Bret Michaels Halle Berry |
Rolling over last year:
1) OJ Simpson 2) Phil Donahue 3) Amanda Bynes 4) Rush Limbaugh 5) Ed Ames 6) Andy Dick 7) Dick Cheney 8) Olivia de Havilland 9) Teri Garr 10) Glen Campbell |
1. Hugh Hefner
2. Burt Reynolds 3. Betty White 4. Dick Van Dyke 5. Willie Nelson 6. Stan Lee 7. Joni Mitchell 8. David Crosby 9. Kirk Douglas 10. Clint Eastwood |
Meanwhile, there are all kinds of ppl showing up with arguments about how, statistically, we should expect last year's celebrity body count to be more typical, since people get famous for more than just movies these days.
Anyone notice that so far this year the closest we've had to a celebrity death was that murderous orca bastard at Sea World who drowned his trainer a couple of years back? Last year, by this time, I think we'd lost Lemmy, Bowie, AND Rickman already... |
A'ight, here's my 2017 list.
1. Ozzy--his liver can't hold out forever 2. Keith Richards 3. William Shatner--He's like 10 years older than Takei and should absolutely NOT be the last original Star Trek officer standing. 4. Steven Tyler 5. John Mellencamp 6. Jack Russell of Great White...just a hunch. 7. Jimmy Page (rabid wolverines high on CRACK, Page...see my 2016 dead pool posts for full details) 8. Lou Gramm 9. Geoff Tate (Queensryche) 10. Nick Rhodes from Duran Duran |
And if Alice Cooper does have to die this year, I hope it's awesome. He's a golf addict (self-confessed--used golf and sugar-free Red Vines to take the place of booze), so struck by lightning IS a viable possibility.
|
Gravdigr, I wouldn't be so sure about Willie Nelson ;). I've seen footage of his martial arts workouts upside his tour bus and he's in amazing shape! I love that someone finally asked him openly to opine on the dangers of marijuana use and his answer was along the lines of "It is absolutely dangerous! A friend of mine dropped a bale and it broke his foot in like 5 places. Gotta be careful with that stuff."

:D

I have a different pick that I feel good about. No new information. Just a feeling based on something someone said, and I realize is correct. Someone young and famous and in perfect health is going to die this year. But they aren't on my list from a couple days ago. I'd even be willing to take somebody old off my list. Like QE2, if I can put this person on it. Fuck it. I'll name him. David Blaine. Dead man walking. Dude is catching a bullet in his mouth every night in his Vegas show. Even if he's good, he only has to make one mistake one night. 99.9% success makes him dead. That 0.1% failure is all it takes. |

He's not really catching a bullet. It's magic. And by 'magic', I mean fake. /spoiler |
1. Queen Elizabeth II
2. Prince Phillip 3. George Bush Sr. 4. Dick Van Dyke 5. Jerry Lewis 6. Betty White 7. Kirk Douglas 8. Olivia de Havilland 9. Desmond Tutu 10. Emperor Akihito |

The Queen
Rex Tillerson Jeff Sessions Mariah Carey Gary Busey Roland Orzabal Curt Smith (Tears For Two Fer) Lorne Michaels Alec Baldwin Catherine Deneuve I so wanted to put Trump and Hillary on here but this is not a particularly just universe. I do suggest that historians will say 2017 was the year the American Experiment died. |
Several of you may be getting points.
George H.W. Bush is in ICU. His wife is also in the hospital. |
They're both doing their best to die before the inauguration, I bet.
|
I only have Barbara. Heard they put her in just to be safe. George has pneumonia, she just had difficulty breathing.
Edit. Jesus. I don't want to play any more. I've offended myself. I withdraw my entry. I hope they both get better quickly and live happily for the remainder of the year. Not trying to spoil anyone's fun. I'm just out. |
They are saying he'll be released soon. I reckon she just wore herself out worrying about him and caught a bit of it too. They'll be fine.
|
.... maybe they're just establishing an alibi for shenanigans in Friday?

Keith Richards isn't going to die in our lifetime. :cool:
The only possible explanation is that he's either already a zombie or has a Highlander background. http://www.thepubliceditor.com/wp-co...Quickening.jpg https://s-media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com...096332dfbe.jpg |
Doctor Irwin Corey, at 102.

Don't mind my compunctions. I was just hoping to score zero.

The Queen will never die. She knows that it would be distasteful to do so.
|
It is most likely to be the one time when phileeep gets to go first
|
Got One! Liz Dawn. Poor thing had been crook for years.
|
Fortunately for the celebs, we're not doing very well this year. These are (I think) the scores on the doors:
1) classic -50 points (Campbell, Lewis) 2) lj -42 points (Berry, Rickles) 3) monster -34 points (Dawn) 4) infi -30 points (Campbell) |
..and in at (5) Grav with 20 points for Hefner
|
I need to be a student of the game next year.

Do we have an official tally? We need a little auto update scoreboard on the front page...
