2023 SDMB Celebrity Death Pool

I have a feeling that Buzz Aldrin is hanging on specifically for this.

I want him to be able to slug that guy again that called him a cheat and a liar.

He went to the South Pole a few years ago, an environment not much less hostile than the Moon, and had to be medevacked to New Zealand when he developed altitude sickness.

A bit of Cold War history.

Viktor Ivanovich Belenko (76) was a Russian-born American aerospace engineer and former Soviet pilot who defected in 1976 to the West while flying his MiG-25 jet interceptor and landed in Hakodate, Japan.On September 24th, 2023, Viktor passed away after a bout with an illness, with his sons Tom and Paul beside him.

Breaking: Former First Lady Rosalynn Carter dead at 96.

Here’s a report.

I wonder if Jimmy can last much longer.

His Mom was the nurse at her birth and he has known her since she was a baby.

Memorable roles in The Hunt for Red October and Lethal Weapon 2

Four players had Mrs Carter. She’s one I’m see sorry to go, but she’s in Heaven now.

I have edited the post and will be back shortly, got to make a change

Let’s not forget Bill and Ted’s Bogus Journey. I know Death steals the show in that movie, but he’s great, too.

He’s just been revoked.

“ Andrei… you’ve lost another submarine?”

Sad to get those points, but I’ll take what I can get.

Will Jimmy Carter live until 2024? I be he is on a lot of lists if so.

He’d be a good candidate for the “early kickoff” award

This year I did not put an alternate and got bit. I will definitely have an alternate this year. I wish for Jimmy to live to 110, but if he is this ill and his dear wife is gone, he may be ready.

If Jimmy lives to 2024 and if I put him on my list, he would live to 110. I’ve had whole lists of people over 95 and they rately oblige me. Sometimes maybe, with just one or two, I could get a unique, if not valuble, pick. Like this year, with Ben Ferencz.

If we do a life pool, I’ll add Jimmy just in support of me wanting him to make it.

Edit: I’d be up for moderating/managing a life pool if it is easy to do? I don’t have any experience with this. I’d love to have a spreadsheet that would calculate the math for me.

He’d probably die in the last days of December just to screw up everyone’s list, like a bunch of top prospects did last year. (We should have a Jeremiah Green Award for the person whose end-of-year death screws up the most lists for the coming year. The honoree would be the so-recently-deceased celeb, not a player.)
