2023 SDMB Celebrity Death Pool

I know I shouldn’t laugh, but DAMN! This is funny!

Are literary editors celebrities? Hey why not!

Glenda Jackson, actress, former politician, and Muppet Show guest star, has died aged 87.

At least she lived long enough to see Luton FC back in the Premier League.

Yes, I know it was Eric who was the Luton fan, but just go with it.

They finally got to him.

Ellsberg was getting too close to the truth.

But what about the shrink? I was young at the time, but all I ever remember hearing was “… the office of Daniel Ellsberg’s Psychiatrist …”

Ellsberg’s memoir is one of the best books I’ve ever read. He had such a unique perspective on the war in Vietnam - he was both a Marine who braved firefights and a defense analyst with access to the highest levels of government.

And understanding his story definitely helps to better understand Watergate. Nixon’s plumbers were first directed at going after the leak that Ellsberg engendered.

He was a noble man.

Cancer of the appendix has to be one of the rarer forms of cancer. I didn’t even know it was a possibility.

In honor of the death, Orca have decided to have a 24-hour moratorium on attacking yachts.

I’m guessing he hasn’t been living off the land for months.

Snerk, that’s a good one.

Another British tourist, rich person Hamish Harding is missing, while attempting to get selfies at the wreck of the Titanic.

If you need someone to play a snooty Englishman you have to go find someone else.
