2022 SDMB Celebrity Death Pool

The Game Room
983

Ah, jet skis. A beautiful union of form and function.

984

I wish him a long stretch in some very annoying purgatory.

985

Country singer Luke Bell, dead at 32.

Actor Robert LuPone, dead at 76.

986

32 is the New 27 it seems

987
988
989

I think we missed one:

Actress Shonka Dukureh, 44, died in July of natural causes.

990

Maybe sitting on the fantail of one of those things, with a precisely-aligned heavy stream of water going right up … somewhere … for about half the remainder of eternity?

991

Looks like three of us get points for Turnbull, with Mean Mr Mustard and Registered At Last being the other two. So RAL moves to the top of the leader board.

992

Lukoil CEO Ravil Maganov was struck by the sidewalk after apparently falling out of his hospital window – it appears that, for Russian businessmen, the leading cause of death is “mysterious circumstances”.

Of course, Mr. Putin had been in the area that day, to lay flowers at Gorby’s bier, so, maybe someone was trying to aim at him?

993

I wonder why he’d do that. I’ve heard Putin loathed Gorbachev.

994

Boxer Earnie Shavers is down for the count at 78.

995

34 points, and a change in the leaderboard:

WooHoo … uh, I mean, my deepest condolences to Bill’s family and friends. The last month has been very active for people who have been on my list for years. (although I can’t believe I demoted (and thereby killed) Olivia.Newton John.)

Apologies to the DeathShroom. Still over a quarter of the year left though.

997

If you manage to score with over half your list, we may be legally required to notify the police.

998

I still remember mid-June 2015, when I’d been leading with 296 points, and you got a death that raised your score to exactly 300, giving you a four-point lead.

When the year ended six and a half months later, we were still 1-2, and still with 300 and 296 points.

You never know.

999

Frank Drake, astronomer probably most famous for his equation, has died at 92

Brian

1000

Activist and author Barbara Ehrenreich has died at 81.

1001

No apologies necessary, for all’s fair in death (prognostication) and war!
