My first ever post was 12/29/04 to make death pool post and paid the $14.95 membership fee to do it. Looking at that list 11 of 13 are still alive so I suck at this.

First off some teetering on the brinks because I want points of some kind;  
Zsa Zsa Gabor  
George #41  
Gordie Howe  
Terry Pratchett ☹

Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi the ISIS leader because the drones are circling.

Steve Christy and  
Emeril Lagasse are each a prime rib away from the big “bam”

John Travolta and  
Harrison Ford. Avid pilots and it’s been pretty brutal in the world of aviation lately.

Courtney Love,  
Edward Furlong &  
Charlie Sheen all because batshit crazy and drugs are bad, m’kay?

1. Donald Trump. As a boon to us all. (Almost was Dan Snyder, decisions, decisions.)

I’d add Abe Vigoda as an alternate but with less than a day to DEADline it would be silly because HE WILL NEVER DIE. If I believed in psychic karma woo woo, I’d say us dopers have inadvertently bestowed immortality on Mr. Vagoda  
Zsa Zsa Gabor  
George H. W. Bush  
Gordie Howe  
Terry Pratchett  
Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi  
Steve Christy  
Emeril Lagasse  
John Travolta  
Harrison Ford  
Courtney Love  
Edward Furlong  
Charlie Sheen  
Donald Trump
