I'm rerunning most of my list from last year. What can I say, I'm a traditionalist. And lazy.
Prince Philip (6/10/21) - Consort of Queen Elizabeth II with chronic foot-in-mouth disease Bob Dole (7/22/23) - Aged politician who's only trotted out for big Republican events like conventions and funerals to class the joint up a little Elizabeth II (4/21/26) - by the Grace of God and Genetics, of Great Britain, Ireland and the British Dominions beyond the Seas, Queen, Defender of the Faith Thich Nhat Hanh (10/11/26) - Buddhist monk and author who, having suffered a stroke a couple of years ago, has returned home to Vietnam after several decades in exile overseas Harry Belafonte (3/1/27) - Calypso crooner who was the first to get "The Banana Boat Song" stuck in your head. You're hearing it now, aren't you? Sorry. Sandra Day O'Connor (3/26/30) - Former Supreme Court Justice with Alzheimer's Warren Buffett (8/30/30) - Famous rich guy Caroll Spinney (12/26/33) - The original Big Bird and Oscar the Grouch Bill Cosby (7/12/37) - Squanderer of goodwill Ric Flair (2/25/49) - Former wrestler and WOO! enthusiast Paul Manafort (4/1/49) - Traitor and bad suit enthusiast Michael Flynn (12/5/58) - Chatty traitor Macaulay Culkin (8/26/80) - Actor who peaked at 13 Alternates Donald Trump (6/14/46) - <heavy sigh> William Perry (12/16/62) - former football player of "Refrigerator" fame CLEAN LIST Prince Philip Bob Dole Elizabeth II Thich Nhat Hanh Harry Belafonte Sandra Day O'Connor Warren Buffett Caroll Spinney Bill Cosby Ric Flair Paul Manafort Michael Flynn Macaulay Culkin Alts Donald Trump William Perry Last edited by Catamount; 12-10-2018 at 09:00 AM.

All the following have refused to die in 2018. I am somewhat taken aback by their rudeness but am willing to give 'em all another chance in 2019.

I think the last few days of December are going to be busy. Only 24 entries so far. Jimmy Carter has 7 picks and seems to have taken GHW Bush's lead. Bless his heart!

I don't think I've ever had anyone of my picks die during the year. Repeated wholesale failures caused me to stay away from the 2018 Pool but I decided I'm just going to keep using my previous list until some of them just fucking die already (no, none of them died this year either).
Loretta Lynn (coalminer's daughter) Charlie Daniels (made a deal with the devil) Tommy Chong (stoner) Jimmy Carter (nuclear peanut farmer and construction worker) Donald Trump (con man) Henry Kissinger (jackass) Sandy Koufax (southpaw) Curly Neal (#22) Bobby Bowden (Puntrooskie caller) Buzz Aldrin (original moonwalker) Clint Eastwood (chairtalker) Fred Silverman (former TV exec) Ron Popeil (legendary inventor & marketing genius) Alternates Al Jaffee (very unserious guy) Bill Cosby (rapist) Regis Philbin (professionally inoffensive host) Also, I'm pretty sure Rule #1 has a typo, or else this is gonna be the toughest SDMB Celebrity Death Pool yet!

When I cleaned up my list, it seems that somehow Tommy Chong got deleted; he should still be there.
Another thanks for the heads-up, this time to our esteemed Death Mistress Baker. |

 This stuff happens to me. I literally just heard "Danny Boy" for the first time in my life, just in the past few weeks. I'd been hearing references to the song since childhood. But the tune, and the lyrics other than the title, where totally new to me. |

OK, so I managed to get one in for 2018 after all. I am replacing Penny Marshall with Alex Trebec. I suspect that unless some kind unholy, apocalyptic mass carnage occurs in the next twelve days, this will be my one and only revision.
