I always think that _this_ time I’m going to be clever and strategic about it. And then I just get depressed about trying to predict who will die imminently for the purposes of gaining a few points in a meaningless internet game, and just make a list of whomever comes immediately to mind. Which is probably why I never do well at this.

Anyway:

Jimmy Carter (President)  
Shannen Doherty (Actress)  
Tom Baker (Doctor Who actor)  
Bruce Willis (actor in the BEST CHRISTMAS FILM EVER)  
Dionne Warwick (singer)  
Norman Lebrecht (music critic)  
Sam Neill (actor/dinosaur nemesis)  
Mitch McConnell (politician/part-time turtle)  
Geoff Hurst (English footballer)  
Prince Edward, Duke of Kent (not to be confused with QEII’s son Prince Edward, current Duke of Edinburgh)  
Diana Ross (singer)  
Tim Curry (actor/fucking legend)  
Linda Ronstadt (singer)

Alternates:

Jeremy Paxman (UK newsreader)  
Oleg Makarevich (Russian general in Ukraine)

Clean list:

Jimmy Carter  
Shannen Doherty  
Tom Baker  
Bruce Willis  
Dionne Warwick  
Norman Lebrecht  
Sam Neill  
Mitch McConnell  
Geoff Hurst  
Prince Edward, Duke of Kent  
Diana Ross  
Tim Curry  
Linda Ronstadt

Alternates:

Jeremy Paxman  
Oleg Makarevich
