“Season’s Reapings” is going to stay with me. Most of the people who love me would be deeply disturbed to learn how much I enjoy this…and I don’t even finish in the money.

Andrew 21, are you trying to make things hard for your DeathMistress?:dubious:
No, if my list is too much of a hassle, I have another list ready.
Oh non, no, no! It’s fine! I was just joking, that’s why I added the smiley face. Sorry if I gave the wrong impression.
Are you sure you don’t want me to replace it with my other list? Buddy Baker, Howard Baker, James Baker, Dusty Baker, Ginger Baker etc.
I love your list but was surprised you didn’t use Billy Graham. Who knew there were so many famous people with the same name.
I completely failed last year’s list so I’ll edit my list a bit.

Don’t give up hope! One year I got my first and only points on December 27th.
Given my strategy for the 2013 game I’m surprised I didn’t pick up on that second one, the “soon” link. I searched Imdb for film people between 95 and 100 years old, that nobody else had picked.
Following the first link gave me an idea for a themed list of the 13 oldest (age-documented) people in the world. Would gave given me zero points, since the youngest of them was born in 1901, but I’d have had a chance at the highest number of unique picks. (Did you know that there are still at least 5 people alive who were born in the 1800s? All women, of course - the list of known living supercentenarians (age 110+) is almost entirely female.)
But I’d already made enough progress on the list I was already working on that I decided against it. Besides, other than having the idea of such a list in the first place, constructing the list itself requires absolutely zero thought, which takes most of the fun out of it.
You would almost certainly have the most unique picks, and might win the “Golden Casket Award”.
Red and Yellow, Black and White.
Totally forgot that we started a month early. My list has been waiting to go, I haven’t been.

Oh, yeah, I mean, if you want to actually win. Who wants to do that?
So there is no flag on the play, citing “Celebrity” ?
I mean someone had to.
Might as well give this a try…

Death’s already taken a couple of shots at your list. James Gregory died in 2002 and René Enríquez died in 1990.
Just an update on how things are going. As I type we have 37 lists submitted, with, just about, 343 different celebrities. The top twelve picks so far are
Lindsay Lohan 12
Valerie Harper 9
Fidel Castro 8
Jimmy Carter 8
George H.W. Bush 7
Barbara Bush 6
Billy Graham-e 6
Nancy Reagan 6
Clint Eastwood 5
Dick Cheney 5
Price Philip, Duke of Edinburgh 5
Randy Travis 5
I have a few observations. It’s an a in the name Lindsay, not an “e”, and it’s a u in the name Muhammed(as in Ali)
If your list is a theme, please say so specifically. I’ve seen a few lists that look themed, but the players haven’t actually come out and declared it so.
One question. Two players listed a celebrity name with a slightly different spelling, but no commentary so I can’t check if they are different people, or which spelling is correct. Can anyone tell me about Kat Williams, or Katt Williams?
