Thanks so much for reminding me that NONE of my group has had the courtesy to FOAD this year. Bah Humbug to you too!
Al Unser Sr has died, 12 point for me.
Sorry, that should be 18 points.
I’m also reviewing my lists, and believe I am owed 6 points for Mort Sahl, which would put me in…last place (among scorers).
And despite my complaining a few days ago about nobody on my list dying, Anne Rice is gone for 20 points! I mean, RIP vampire lady.
Al Unser: 18 Points for J-P_L
Mort Sahl: 6 Points for SpoilerVirgin
Anne Rice: 20 Points for keyT

Nevermind. Wrong death pool thread.
I know I checked the names on my list as recently as Thanksgiving weekend, but I owe a mea culpa to phungi because somehow I missed John Gabriel, who died back on June 11th at age 90. I only noticed it now as I updated the 2022 list.
That’s a belated 10 points for me.
Tiffani Hale, one of the kids featured on The All New Mickey Mouse Club and performer in the band The Party, has died at 46.
10 Points for John Gabriel, and 1 point for Betty White to Bayaker:

The people born in 1940 must be a hearty stock as it appears to have been pointless for me to choose them. 
I’m channeling my late mother’s English teaching when I say that this is not the proper usage of ‘hearty’…unless you’re talking about future soylent green.

I just did a quick double check to see if any of mine did die. Nope, not a sausage. Even a pandemic doesn’t net me any points. And next year I swapped the theme to something else entirely, so watch as each one of my old list are knocked off in rapid succession…

Artists who have been involved in a cover or performance of REM’s It’s The End Of The World As We Know It (And I Feel Fine)

You know, posting in the correct thread is just so crazy that it might work. Thanks!
Doing my list for 2022 and realized that Jessica Walter died for 20 points for me in March.
Obviously GIGObuster won the grand prize by a mile, but is there going to be a final recap?
Looks like I won the Quantity not Quality and Grim Reaper awards. Maybe the Final Hours award too, though I can’t believe nobody else had Betty White.
Gloaters gotta gloat!
