Folks, only ten more days to post your entries!

Rumors going around that Barbara Walters is seriously circling the drain. Will she make it to 2023?

Every year I’m tempted to do an entire new list just for the hell of it. I took the time to gather the names and last years list isn’t cooperating. I think I have about 25 names right now.

Only looking at 7 points, though. (It’s getting warm here inside this hand basket?)

Here is my new list. Mostly re-treads but I added a few new names.

Alan Alda
Tina Louise
Terry Gilliam
Bill Oddie
Billy Dee Williams
Ozzy Osbourne
Peter Popoff
Woody Allen
Yoko Ono
Jon Bauman
Mary Berry
Peter Schickele
Chiam Topol

Alternate:
Tim Curry
Mel Brooks

An easy seven points though

This is my first time participating and I was excited to the extent that I really needed to chill out. It was all fun & games til Bam Margera (my Longshot) had a stroke 2 weeks ago. Pretty sure Im single-handedly responsible.

Tatum O’Neil is on my “home version” of the game. Shes is (or was) In the hospital last week.

I feel weird and powerful and bad…a lot to think about lol.

Edited to add: Yesterday, she announced shes suffering from a rare disease. Plus the eating disorder we all ignore…outlook is grim.

Well you have until midnight the 31st, amd welcome to the game!

Here is my list!

Michael J Fox
Shannen Doherty
Harvey Weinstein
Val Kilmer
Pope Benedict
James Woods
Warren Buffett
Catherine Wreford (Winner of Amazing Race Canada: 2022)
Tina Turner
Pete Davidson
Don Cherry
Barara Walters
Sinead O’Connor

Alternates:

How many lists can we submit?

One, but you can adjust it until the end of the month, and your last version is what’s taken.

For example, I’ve swapped in a new name to mine and will submit the change later this week, waiting just in case I make any more changes before then.

One general list, here in this thread. And there’s a separate thread for themed lists, where you can also submit one list.

Right? I thought he was my ace in the hole at one point, but this dude’s been dying slowly for a while.
