Let’s make Black Friday just a little darker!
34 days away for many of us
As we prepare to do this again, for a historical reference, last January I posted links to the previous SDMB Death Pools for each year going back to 2000: http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?p=17005541#post17005541.
[QUOTE=Bullitt;17005541Listed is each year with its Death, uhh, Paramour.

Here we are at post #614, and we’re not halfway through January.)[/QUOTE]
HTH, Bullitt. I know it was very helpful to me for all the points I have in 2014.
I can just copy/paste my 2014 list.
With just three substitutions, I can reuse my 2001 list.
I think I can use my 2014 list, too, with three new immortal folks to replace one death and two cures.
At 6 big points, PD James has died. Dalgliesh is not on this case
I’m so sorry to hear about PD James.
Not least because I didn’t have her. Six points is six more points than I have this year.
Lebanese singer/actor Sabah, dies at 13 points.
Soccer Legend Pele Hospitalized but not in ICU.
A second Real World star has died this month. Ryan Knight, from the New Orleans show, was found dead in his home at age 29. The initial reports are saying it was a drug-related accident.
Lo sospeche desde un principio!
(I suspected it from the begining)

Chespirito the great mexican comedian dies, he was the inspiration of Channel Ocho Bumble Bee man from the Simpsons. I had him in a past list and he was going to be in my 2015 one… Could he not wait a month and few days?
Chespirito: “No contaban con mi astucia!”
No, I did not count on your slyness
RIP
While driving in Mexico, remember that “Su madre es un puta!” means, “Good morning, officer!”
:rolleyes:
I did not see anybody with him this year, would he have been listed by that name or some other?
His name was Roberto Gomez Bolanos, but I think I had him in my alternate list the previous year; and yes, I had him on the one for next year, back to the drawing board…
For some of us, there is not a lot of touching up to do. Just Copy & Paste. Not an unusual situation for me at least.
I don’t speak Spanish and I know better than that! :dubious:
I’ll be posting the 2015 game thread before I go to bed tonight, as I don’t care to stay up until midnight just to post that dang button. Remember, your lists must be posted after midnight, if you are that bloodthirsty.
Yep, I think that’s what I’ll do, too. That’ll guarantee a healthy 2015 for all of them.
eta: after midnight tonight, of course.
Lucky you.
I have to come up with replacements for those who have been declared cured.
