And I lose one of my choices.
Please remove Billy Turner and replace him with first alternate Olivia Newton-John.
The deathline draws near.
FFS I just saw that teela brown is playing for the first time; what chance do the rest of us have now?
Let the dying being.
We are all in first place.
Did you not read Engineers? She might be playing to lose.
True. But she reported that she had breast cancer that spread to her lymph nodes in 2015. She later revealed she had stage 4 cancer in 2019. She’s holding on just to spite all the death poolers in all the death pools world over that keep picking her.
And good on her for continuing to survive. (Even if she keeps robbing of me of points as a result.)
Whoops, meant to post this yesterday. Since it’s past the “dead”line, I understand if this list is deep-sixed, but it is mainly a repeat of my list from last year:
OJ Brigance
Mel Brooks
Jimmy Carter
Ric Flair
Teri Garr
Bret Hart
Hulk Hogan
Mitch McConnell
Dave Mustaine
Linda Nolan
Drew Pinsky
Donald Trump
6ix9ine
Not sure if he’s points for anyone, but former NFL coach Dan Reeves just barely made it to 2022 before dying.
Whoops; wrong thread.
You know, the search function works really well in Discourse. You can find out almost instantly whether anyone had him (looks like no).
Thanks everyone for not copying my picks, each one an original. I was determined not to re-use any of last year’s list, but mistakenly included Dwayne Hickman, fine but I won’t goof up again in 2023. So many to choose from, yet I see the same names over and over - you mean people actually want to win?
Two sidesplitting jokes that never get old: “Celebrity X is on my list so is guaranteed to survive” and “I dropped So-and-so this year so naturally she is doomed”.
No, I want @Rebo to win.
I am only here for the jokes
