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?
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
