Celebrity Death Pool 2014

No, but her life reminds me of Tom Lehrer’s “Alma” When Lehrer introduced that song he said “Last December there appeared in the papers the juiciest, spiciest, raciest obituary it has ever been my pleasure to read.”

She sounds like somebody I’d like to have met.

R.A Montgomery, creator of “Choose Your Adventure” books, has passed away. If you are sad, turn to page 42. If you had him on your list, collect 22 points

Brian

Alba, tell us
How can they help being jealous?

Well played. :slight_smile:

I love the headline on her obituary:
*The 18th Duchess of Alba was a flamboyant Spanish aristocrat who married both **an unfrocked priest **and a man 24 years her junior *

Regarding the bolded part: I bet he was.

Hmmm just re-read this, I had thought I just couldn’t kill someone on MY list. And then if I did, just those points wouldn’t count, but the others would.

So I can’t kill anyone mentioned in this thread… even someone who wasn’t even picked but just mentioned as almost picked? Wow pretty strict rules.

Marion Barry is a unique pick for booklover, who has just lost this year’s virginity to him.

Good Riddance.

Courtesy of “TV’s Frank” Conniff:

I just announced this to my wife, who is thrilled that I’m finally on the board despite the unfortunate virginity incident! :smiley:

Mrs. Plant (v.3.0) is also supportive of my playing, save that she asked me to remove Sean Connery from my list. :slight_smile:

You should argue that having Connery on your list gives him eternal life.

No, no, no. Having him on my list would give him eternal life.

Good point.

:slight_smile:

Pat Quinn dead at 71. Long time NHL player, coach & GM will cause at least some of us to revise our lists for 2015.

I just posted the same thing in the NHL thread. :frowning: He seemed like a genuinely nice man.

RIP Pat.

Eeewwwww!

The D.C. CityPaper’s name for him was “Mayor-For-Life Barry.”

Not really a celebrity, as such, but Dr. Denham Harman, the guy who [del]invented free radicals[/del] proposed the theory of free radicals affecting the aging process, has been ultimately discharged from the ward of life.

For those of you who failed to pick him, you missed out on a juicy two points.

Free radicals, huh? Free Huey! Free the Chicago [del]8[/del]7! Free Bob Avakian! Release the Mao Tse-Tung Defendants!*

OK, flashback time is over. :wink:
*Hey, that’s how they spelled it, back in the day when that message was sprayed on DC-area overpasses.

People, it’s time to be getting your 2015 list ready! Why go fight the crowds on Black Friday when you could be putting the finishing touches on your Death Pool picks? Less than a week away!
