I was almost tempted to do all Russian and Ukrainian and Finnish celebs for the 13 as well.
But felt like going with more likely candidates.
Also had to switch one name of the 3 cause she dont have a Wikipedia page. Just want to follow the rules.
Getting mine in early this year.
Donald Trump
Rudy Giuliani
Bruce Willis
James Van Der Beek
Camilla Parker-Bowles
Mitch McConnell
Michael J. Fox
Ted Danson

Christina Applegate
Jean Auel

Alternates:

Mel Brooks

To call what I do “research” is being very generous.
You are aware that Jimmy Carter has passed the century mark, and would thus be a pick that nets zero points, correct?

O Mighty Death Mistress @Baker, I’d like to switch out Frankie Valli for Jimmy Carter on my Death List. Do I need to repost the whole shebang?
No, I can do it from here and note the post where the change was made.
BTW, I like the way you grovel.
Sadly, no points from 2024. I don’t think anyone would mourn my list this year
Plain List:
Tucker Carlson
Ted Cruz
Rudy Giuliani
Lindsey Graham
Marjorie Taylor Greene
Mike Johnson
Jim Jordan
Mitch McConnell
Stephen Miller
Elon Musk
Vladimir Putin
Donald Trump
JD Vance
Alternates:
Samuel Alito
Clarence Thomas
Rather a lot of wish lists this time.
Don’t give up hope. I once won the final hours award for a 12/27 passing. My only points that year.
Okay, since it was pointed out to me that Jimmy Carter is now a pointless death, I’m switching him for someone else. My Fickle Finger of Fate has settled on Frankie Valli.
Jimmy Carter is out
Frankie Valli in for the win
Feel free to throw him into the Life Pool, though! 21 points if he makes it to 2026.
Let’s just reuse 2024’s list with a couple of new names to replace those who died.
Tim Commerford
Steve Gleason
David Irving
Ron Jeremy
Ghislaine Maxwell
Miranda McKeon
Olivia Munn
Linda Nolan
Bershan Shaw
Ringo Starr
Andy Taylor
Donald Trump
Harvey Weinstein
Subject to change if I see any bandwagons I want to jump on.
Dangit, I forgot about Jimmy Carter not being worth any points… mighty Death Mistress Baker can I please swap Jimmy Carter for one of my favorite authors Jack McDevitt? Maybe I can keep him alive for a bit even if he’s not writing anymore. Let me know if you need me to repost.
Not happy about a lot of these but anyway…had to glean some ideas from lists above, some good ones I hadn’t thought up (the Abe Vigodas of the pool, as it were).:
Mick Jagger
Mitch McConnell
Ray Davies
Rudy Giuliani
James Hong
Clint Eastwood
Mel Brooks
Judy Blume
Buzz Aldrin
Katy Manning
George Takai
Bill Clinton
Dame Judy Dench
That actually looks like a pretty good list.
Was wondering if someone was going to mention Uecker and Stevens
