I’ve quoted George Burns (1896-1996) in this context before: “If you make it to 100, you’ve got it made. Very few people die past that age.”
Dammit… I had him on my short list for 2024 already. Rest in peace, Tim. You were fun to watch.
Y’know … JFTR.
Points for me!
Ady Barkan, whom I had on my ALS-themed lists for the past few years, died at 61 points. Alas, I changed themes this year.

Darn. I had him on my themed lists in 2018 and 2019. Gave up on him too soon.
Sad to discover Lara Parker died back on October 12th. Sadly I don’t think there was much in the way of media coverage of the death. She was absolutely brilliant as the witch Angelique on Dark Shadows. Scared the heck out of me as a kid.
16 points for me I’d rather not have.
An old NY Met has passed away, unfortunately not on my list 
Is there a 2024 themed pool thread yet?
I’m interested too!
Thanks for the reminder!
What’s the point of having a Beatles-themed list and NOT including Denny Laine??? 21 points just left on the board!
You fool! You should have left Yoko off!
If it’s any consolation, you left 21 points on the board, not 81. 
Thanks, I meant 21. I’m angry.
If it’s any (more) consolation I missed both Myles Goodwin and Chad Allen (old time Canadian rockers) for a combined 45 points from my "The Canadian’s " list. That is this week alone!
Edit: Meant to post in other 2023 Death Pool thread.
Just learned from another post that Cale Yarborough has passed away. Cale is on my 2023 and 2024 list.
