2025 SDMB Celebrity Death Pool

I reread that post multiple times and my brain kept reading that as she was married to Dr Demento.

She never mentioned it as far as I know. She definitely believed in people, though.

Well, after the year that I had Don Rickles and Adam West both, I’ve tried to keep at least one beloved older comedian alive. I thought, since I normally only score on one or two people, I thought she’d stealthily stay alive while I went for more low-hanging fruit like Bob Uecker and Ananda Lewis.

That’s sweet. But this is what I actually meant.Hereafter

Ruth Buzzi has been on my list for many years - and she still is! Yay! Points! I mean, oh no! RIP Ruth Buzzi!

It sounds like the fire was not at her home, and she was there visiting a friend.

Probably in the same way I do. I walk into a room and wonder “What did I come in here after?”

Sports Agent John Sperbeck, age 62, died in a Golf Cart accident.

Sperbeck was standing on the back of a golf cart driving by John Elway and fell off. Elway’s wife was sitting on the passenger side and also standing in the back of cart was MTV Challenge competitor Johnny “Bananas”.

TMZ report

I’ve always said falling off a golf cart being driven by John Elway with Johnny Bananas at my side is the way I want to go.

Jim Dent grew up in the caddie yards of Augusta, Georgia, eventually working at the Masters and honing his game at the municipal course known as “The Patch.” He went on to become one of the PGA Tour’s longest hitters and one of the top Black golfers of his generation.

Dent died on Friday at age 85, a week before his birthday, his grandson posted on Facebook

Frank: I know, Ed.
Ed: My father went the same way.

Jim Dent has hit his last birdie at age 85.

Pun notwithstanding, the Doorway Effect has been the subject of some study.

The article says the source does not believe alcohol was a factor but that certainly goes against Elway’s reputation.

Just last year, Jill Sobule visited the company whose cafeteria I eat lunch at. There were all these banners posted that said “Jill Sobule, Top 40 Artist and [Company name] Customer, will be speaking on March 29.” When I was eating my Friday fish fry in the cafeteria that day, Jill Sobule sat down a few tables from me. Not only that, but she was eating the exact same meal that I was!

He also played “Dagwood Bumstead” in the second television version of Blondie.
