2022 [THEMED] Celebrity Death Pool

Guy Lafleur gets me on the board.

Don’t be silly. Greta Garbo’s been dead for years.

He was obviously referring to George Gershwin.

Man, you guys are bad at guessing. No wonder you never win this game.

30 points is good for first place:

Ray Liotta. James Caan. And now Tony Sirico.

I really wish I had gone with an “Actors who played Mafiosi” theme this year.

Guessing? GUESSING!? I’ll have you know my picks were scientifically selected. I rummaged through their dumpsters, intercepted their poop for analysis, monitored their doctor visits. Still Bupkis.

This is getting bad, Uwe Seeler has died too:

85 years, 15 points.
Rest in peace, he was a nice guy, I am told. I feel sorry he had to go while his club (Hamburg HSV) is in the 2nd division.

Commander Uhura has opened hailing frequencies for the last time at 11 points:

I’m single-handedly keeping 13 people with ALS alive. I deserve a freaking medal.

Vin Scully dead at 6 points for Dr.Girlfriend

@phungi and 11 points for me for Nichelle Nichols.

As much as I enjoy being in the lead I think Pardel-Lux has a second pick that needs added from July 21.

Thanks for the nudge:

Hey @phungi, somewhere along the way I managed to pick up an unearned point. I should have 0, not 1. My only pick so far this year was Nehemiah Persoff who was 102.

Not that it makes much difference one way or th’ other… :stuck_out_tongue:

thanks for the reminder… the spreadsheet I created likely needs some revising, as it currently only codes numbers above “0”, so I input “99” for anyone 100 or over.

Lenny Johnrose died this week of complications from ALS, at the age of 52.

48 points for me finally puts me on the scoreboard.

Not just on the scoreboard but atop the scoreboard:

@phungi Still looking for 11 points for Nichelle Nichols in your next update.

Thanks,
