Celebrity Death Pool 2006!
Here's the rules. Everyone picks 10 celebrities who they think will kick the bucket, meet thier maker, push up daisies, buy the farm, and what not. If someone on your list dies, their age is subtracted from 100, and this is the number of points you get.
My picks this year are: 1. Billy Graham 2. Saddam Hussein 3. Mickey Rooney 4. Kirk Douglas 5. Muhammad Ali 6. Charleton Heston 7. Margaret Thatcher 8. Milton Friedman 9. Dick Cheney 10. BB King

Okay, I'm in. Although I've not had a single one right in previous years! Assume it's okay to duplicate people as we're not playing for money?
1. Dame Margaret Thatcher 2. Dame Vivienne Westwood 3. Sir Henry Cooper 4. Sir Patrick Moore 5. Peter O'Toole 6. Mohammed Ali 7. Sir John Mortimer 8. Stephen King 9. Christopher Biggins 10. Robert Downey Jr |

1968 will look like small potatoes
1) Sharon (are you calling me a cheat?) (M)
2) W (M) 3) Cheney (N) 4) Blair (S) 5) Putin (M) 6) Clinton, W (M) 7) Clinton, H (M,S) 8) Byrd (not many points but what the heck) (N) 9) Abramoff (M but looks like S) 10) Friedman T. (N) M=murder S=suicide N=natural causes-choke on words, ham sandwich etc... I do, however, protest this as a tasteless thread.

Hey, when you live with 400,000 fundie whackos right next door to you, you learn to tell little white lies in order to avoid being smote by Focus on the Family! K, Bob Dobson aside, here's my picks for the undertaker: The Queen (of England) Dick Cheney (that boy don't look good - his ticker is either giving out or Laura is salting his martini's with arsenic) Geraldo Rivera (he just annoys me) Jimmy Carter (the good always die young) Billy Graham (felled by a stray bolt of lightening while out on the golf course) Homer Simpson (dies in domestic violence incident when Maggie pulls a knife on him) The Easter Bunny (replaced by a USDA approved spring chick) Willie Nelson (in shoot-out with Revenuers) Michael Jackson (just because he SHOULD) God (of a broken heart) So, what do I win? |

Wow, you guys are good this year. Peter O'Toole, Fidel Castro, Bea Arthur, Queen of England, and Abe Vigoda are good calls....oops, didn't see Abe in there. Nevermind.
Hey, I'd say betting on Sharon after he's had a massive stroke is a bit of a cheat. Those wish Sharon should pick someone else to be fair.

If it's such a gimme ... only award half the points if he dies within the month of January, full points thereafter.

I'll make an anti-wishlist to counter the political ones. I really hope none of these people die but I bet a few will:
1.) Michael J. Fox 2.) Christopher Reeve 3.) Billy Crystal 4.) Leslie Nielsen 5.) Patrick McGoohan 6.) Patrick Stewart 7.) Ian McKellan 8.) Peter Falk 9.) Andy Griffith 10.) Clint Eastwood And to go with my anti-wishlist, an anti-death choice: I bet Dick Clark will survive the whole year, against all odds. |
