And his toupee died at about 27.
I had him for Discrete Math way back in the day at NC State. He actually did teach many of the classes, and had open office hours (I remember all the M&M dispensers he had sitting around).
On the morning of Sept. 11, 2001, Brown started his career at the network earlier than expected, anchoring from a Manhattan rooftop as the attacks were happening. When the second tower fell that morning, Brown responded with the horror most viewers no doubt felt.
“Good lord,” he said. “There are no words.”
I’ll always be able to hear that, the same way I’ll always be able to hear the beep before Challenger blew up.
His name is familiar. I may have had him for a class, but the only non-theater instructors I remember are Dr Danby for Calc, fractals, and diffy-qs and Dr Evasdaughter for freshman English.
OK, the game is over! Sometime tomorrow I’ll post all the awards,
YAY!! I came in 87th!
Anyone have her?
Was Carter the last death on our lists?
He sure was. A final act of service.
Putting all flags at half-staff during inauguration works for me.
Catwoman died?
Okay, okay! Here they come, the winners!
Registered at Last is the top winner, with 263 points. That’s a lot of death, because not only did they get the most points, but they win the Quantity not Quality award this year, for the most picks that won points. They had six, and that makes you wonder.
Wheelz wins the Robbing the Cradle award, for picking Liam Payne. He was 31, garnering 69 points at one blow.
MarkF2004 has the Opening Kickoff award, for David Soul.
Loach got the Inside Track With the Grim Reaper award, for the most unique picks, having three.
Jimmy Carter gave a number of players the Final Hours award. even though they got no points for him. Congrats to Gyrate, NoNoNO, DeannaD, Dr. Girlfriend, precambrianmollusc, notfrommensa, Nother Yinzer, Mrs Ducky, Bucky PO, Shoeless, Paul Was in Saudi, Kent Clark, Wheelz, adrian cohen, gkster, monstera deliciosa, Dancer Flight, and Superdude all had Carter.
Thanks to all who played!
It does, doesn’t it? 
I just made up an award, most points per death. I had 210 points from 4 deaths, and that’s 52.5 points per death (ppd), so I won my own award - quite an achievement, huh? Looks like Mean Mr. Mustard was next by this measure with 151/3 = 50.333… ppd. There were four people with 97/2 = 48.5 ppd.
Another late addition, though I’m sure no one had him:
Former MLB player Lenny Randle died at 75 on December 29.
He was dubbed “The Most Interesting Man in Baseball” in 2015, for such things as speaking 5 languages, performing stand-up comedy, and punching his manager in the face during an argument.
Congrats winners! 
And thanks to Baker for keeping this thing going!
It was an honor to just be nominated.
Thank you, O Death Mistress! 'Tis a hard job, indeed.
I’d like to thank alcohol, cocaine, and gravity for this honor.
And of course, huge thanks to our deathmistress Baker for all your hard work!
So, that’s a wrap for my first year ever joining the festivities of the Celebrity Death Pool. I feel like enjoying it as much as I did is wrong somehow, so I just won’t dwell on that and instead, focus on 2025.
And, congrats to all the winners!
