One entry on phungi’s list is someone I can’t find, that is Wackbjt. I am going to leave them out for now. I am also going to put my zero points, for Janice Paige, as an entry. Oh, and I am three days younger than Denzel Washington. ---

I was born the same year as Shannen Doherty. If she’d survived past her September birthday, we would be the same age. ---

Okay, I think I have it. I post my chart here and a difference with phungi’s list will be noted. In that list an entry is seen for some called Wackbjt. I can’t find that name anywhere. If it can be pointed out to me I will include it and post accordingly. So I have 74 entries instead of 75. I’m at the bottom of course but although Janis Paige was pointless I’m proud of her. | 1 | Registered at Last | 263 | 6 | 2 | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | 2 | RTFirefly | 210 | 4 | 0 | | 3 | candide | 194 | 4 | 0 | | 4 | phungi | 191 | 4 | 0 | | 5 | jeezums | 179 | 4 | 1 | | 6 | Happy Lendervedder | 173 | 4 | 1 | | 7 | Captain Klutz | 135 | 3 | 0 | | 7 | critter 42 | 135 | 3 | 0 | | 7 | Kitten Mitten | 135 | 3 | 0 | | 10 | Loach | 126 | 3 | 2 | | 11 | GIGObuster | 119 | 3 | 0 | | 12 | Mean Mr. Mustard | 109 | 2 | 0 | | 13 | Queen Anne’s Lace | 106 | 2 | 0 | | 14 | Superdude | 99 | 3 | 0 | | 15 | Hoopy Frood | 97 | 2 | 0 | | 15 | It’s Not Rocket Surgery | 97 | 2 | 0 | | 15 | Little Nemo | 97 | 2 | 0 | | 15 | Lord Feldon | 97 | 2 | 0 | | 15 | RobotDevilDog | 97 | 2 | 0 | | 20 | J-P L | 85 | 2 | 0 | | 21 | Dung Beetle | 74 | 2 | 0 | | 22 | Cazzle | 71 | 2 | 1 | | 23 | Pardel-Lux | 69 | 2 | 0 | | 24 | Stephe96 | 55 | 2 | 1 | | 25 | jdracingfan | 54 | 2 | 0 | | 25 | zadscmc | 54 | 2 | 0 | | 27 | Monstera delciosa | 48 | 2 | 1 | | 28 | adriancohen100 | 47 | 1 | 0 | | 28 | Bayaker | 47 | 1 | 0 | | 28 | Bayaker | 47 | 1 | 0 | | 28 | BuckyPO | 47 | 1 | 0 | | 28 | Catamount | 47 | 1 | 0 | | 28 | CreaseMunky | 47 | 1 | 0 | | 28 | Culling\_The\_Herd | 47 | 1 | 0 | | 28 | Dancer\_Flight | 47 | 1 | 0 | | 28 | Deanna\_D | 47 | 1 | 0 | | 28 | Dr. Girlfriend | 47 | 1 | 0 | | 28 | gkster | 47 | 1 | 0 | | 28 | GuanoLad | 47 | 1 | 0 | | 28 | Gyrate | 47 | 1 | 0 | | 28 | Gyrate | 47 | 1 | 0 | | 28 | Jegpeg | 47 | 1 | 0 | | 28 | Kent\_Clark | 47 | 1 | 0 | | 28 | kitap | 47 | 1 | 0 | | 28 | Larry\_Borgia | 47 | 1 | 0 | | 28 | Lsura | 47 | 1 | 0 | | 28 | Mahaloth | 47 | 1 | 0 | | 28 | Maus Magill | 47 | 1 | 0 | | 28 | McDeath\_the\_Mad | 47 | 1 | 0 | | 28 | Mona\_Lott | 47 | 1 | 0 | | 28 | NoNoNo | 47 | 1 | 0 | | 28 | opiewan | 47 | 1 | 0 | | 28 | Precambrianmollusc | 47 | 1 | 0 | | 28 | Railer13 | 47 | 1 | 0 | | 28 | Rebo | 47 | 1 | 0 | | 28 | Reindeer\_Flotilla | 47 | 1 | 0 | | 28 | RivkahChaya | 47 | 1 | 0 | | 28 | Slow\_Moving\_Vehicle | 47 | 1 | 0 | | 28 | SuntanLotion | 47 | 1 | 0 | | 28 | tuesdayweld | 47 | 1 | 0 | | 28 | Wheelz | 47 | 1 | 0 | | 28 | WolfpackJeep | 47 | 1 | 0 | | 63 | xizor | 38 | 1 | 0 | | 64 | JohnT | 24 | 1 | 0 | | 64 | ZamboniAce 1000 | 24 | 1 | 0 | | 64 | Mrs Ducky | 24 | 1 | 0 | | 67 | MarkF2004 | 20 | 1 | 1 | | 68 | Allecher | 12 | 1 | 1 | | 69 | Biotop | 8 | 1 | 1 | | 70 | blue67ccm | 7 | 1 | 0 | | 71 | Paul was in Saudi | 4 | 1 | 1 | | 71 | Moriarty | 4 | 1 | 0 | | 73 | irritant | 2 | 1 | 1 | | 74 | Baker | 0 | 1 | 1 | ---

Thamk you so much for that reply. I went back and read my responses and since I didn’t specifically tell that poster I wouldn’t include their entry I am going to count it. I have also taken note of those doubles. So maybe this list will be the cleanest and most accurate. | 1 | Registered at Last | 263 | 6 | 2 | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | 2 | RTFirefly | 210 | 4 | 0 | | 3 | candide | 194 | 4 | 0 | | 4 | phungi | 191 | 4 | 0 | | 5 | jeezums | 179 | 4 | 1 | | 6 | Happy Lendervedder | 173 | 4 | 1 | | 7 | Captain Klutz | 135 | 3 | 0 | | 7 | critter 42 | 135 | 3 | 0 | | 7 | Kitten Mitten | 135 | 3 | 0 | | 10 | Loach | 126 | 3 | 2 | | 11 | GIGObuster | 119 | 3 | 0 | | 12 | Wackbjt | 113 | 2 | 1 | | 13 | Mean Mr. Mustard | 109 | 2 | 0 | | 14 | Queen Anne’s Lace | 106 | 2 | 0 | | 15 | Superdude | 99 | 3 | 0 | | 16 | Hoopy Frood | 97 | 2 | 0 | | 16 | It’s Not Rocket Surgery | 97 | 2 | 0 | | 16 | Little Nemo | 97 | 2 | 0 | | 16 | Lord Feldon | 97 | 2 | 0 | | 16 | RobotDevilDog | 97 | 2 | 0 | | 21 | J-P L | 85 | 2 | 0 | | 22 | Dung Beetle | 74 | 2 | 0 | | 23 | Cazzle | 71 | 2 | 1 | | 24 | Pardel-Lux | 69 | 2 | 0 | | 25 | Stephe96 | 55 | 2 | 1 | | 26 | jdracingfan | 54 | 2 | 0 | | 26 | zadscmc | 54 | 2 | 0 | | 28 | Monstera delciosa | 48 | 2 | 1 | | 29 | adriancohen100 | 47 | 1 | 0 | | 29 | Bayaker | 47 | 1 | 0 | | 29 | Borborygmi | 47 | 1 | 0 | | 29 | BuckyPO | 47 | 1 | 0 | | 29 | Catamount | 47 | 1 | 0 | | 29 | CreaseMunky | 47 | 1 | 0 | | 29 | Culling\_The\_Herd | 47 | 1 | 0 | | 29 | Dancer\_Flight | 47 | 1 | 0 | | 29 | Deanna\_D | 47 | 1 | 0 | | 29 | Dr. Girlfriend | 47 | 1 | 0 | | 29 | gkster | 47 | 1 | 0 | | 29 | GuanoLad | 47 | 1 | 0 | | 29 | Gyrate | 47 | 1 | 0 | | 29 | Jack Batty | 47 | 1 | 0 | | 29 | Jegpeg | 47 | 1 | 0 | | 29 | Kent\_Clark | 47 | 1 | 0 | | 29 | kitap | 47 | 1 | 0 | | 29 | Larry\_Borgia | 47 | 1 | 0 | | 29 | Lsura | 47 | 1 | 0 | | 29 | Mahaloth | 47 | 1 | 0 | | 29 | Maus Magill | 47 | 1 | 0 | | 29 | McDeath\_the\_Mad | 47 | 1 | 0 | | 29 | Mona\_Lott | 47 | 1 | 0 | | 29 | NoNoNo | 47 | 1 | 0 | | 29 | opiewan | 47 | 1 | 0 | | 29 | Precambrianmollusc | 47 | 1 | 0 | | 29 | Railer13 | 47 | 1 | 0 | | 29 | Rebo | 47 | 1 | 0 | | 29 | Reindeer\_Flotilla | 47 | 1 | 0 | | 29 | RivkahChaya | 47 | 1 | 0 | | 29 | Slow\_Moving\_Vehicle | 47 | 1 | 0 | | 29 | SuntanLotion | 47 | 1 | 0 | | 29 | tuesdayweld | 47 | 1 | 0 | | 29 | Wheelz | 47 | 1 | 0 | | 29 | WolfpackJeep | 47 | 1 | 0 | | 64 | xizor | 38 | 1 | 0 | | 65 | JohnT | 24 | 1 | 0 | | 65 | ZamboniAce 1000 | 24 | 1 | 0 | | 65 | Mrs Ducky | 24 | 1 | 0 | | 68 | MarkF2004 | 20 | 1 | 1 | | 69 | Allecher | 12 | 1 | 1 | | 70 | Biotop | 8 | 1 | 1 | | 71 | blue67ccm | 7 | 1 | 0 | | 72 | Paul was in Saudi | 4 | 1 | 1 | | 72 | Moriarty | 4 | 1 | 0 | | 74 | irritant | 2 | 1 | 1 | | 75 | Baker | 0 | 1 | 1 | ---

He was always my go-to actor for “whatever happened to…?” and made me consider how fleeting success can be for TV actors. You can be on everyone’s lists of household names for years, and then without any hesitation essentially vanish. Anyway, RIP James B Sikking from the movie **Morons From Outer Space.** ---

A question about the mysterious Wackbjt: on the June 4 list, they had 38 points for one death, Toby Keith. Now they’ve got 113 points with 2 deaths including one unique pick. So they had one (unique) death in the interim for 75 points. But looking at their list at post 151 and Googling all the names I didn’t recognize, I don’t find any recently deceased 25 year olds on it - for instance, the two rappers on their list are (a) older, and (b) alive. Can you tell me who he got those points for? I’m flummoxed here. ---

Never mind, I figured it out. They had Shelley Duvall, who just died at the **age** of 75. So 25 points, not 75. But they also had Whitey Herzog for 8 points to add to their score (unique too, I think). ---

I never confused Jim Sikking with anyone. Hill Street Blues is my all-time favorite TV show and he played my favorite character. One year I had a Hill Street calendar. I saved his page and kept it on my wall long after the year ended. Time for another rewatch. 😔 [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/2024-sdmb-celebrity-death-pool/993940.md?page=72) [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/2024-sdmb-celebrity-death-pool/993940.md?page=74)
