Celebrity Death Pool 2015

Clive Rice, South African Cricket Player, has stopped chirping at 34 points.

Which makes it what, 26 degrees Celsius?

That’s 79 degrees in real temperature, isn’t it?:D:p

Vic Firth, If you build a better drumstick, the world will beat a path to your door.

That, more than 50 years ago, is precisely what Vic Firth did, in the process becoming, almost inadvertently, the world’s most prolific drumstick manufacturer.

Mr. Firth, who died on Sunday at 85, spent more than 40 years as the principal tympanist of the Boston Symphony Orchestra, playing under a roster of distinguished conductors including Leonard Bernstein, Serge Koussevitzky, Erich Leinsdorf and Seiji Ozawa.

During his tenure as the orchestra’s music director, Mr. Ozawa called Mr. Firth “the single greatest percussionist anywhere in the world.”

Kansas City Chiefs safety Eric Berry is declared cancer-free and returns to training camp this week, eight months after being diagnosed with Hodgkin’s lymphoma.

There’s 74 points I will gladly scratch off of my list. Way to go Eric!

You may want to hold off updating the August list a few days Baker as there may be a bunch of us whose scores’ll need adjusting… “it doesn’t look good”

From your link:

And, upon further review, that bastion of journalism TMZ is reporting she’s already been discharged :slight_smile: … thanks for getting my hopes up, guys! :wink:

Harper is only one selection behind Bush Senior. She has 54, GHWB has 55.

Can’t she die before Martin Crowe does? I’d like to get back in the lead, however briefly. :smiley:

I’d like to be there, just once, for a day.
:rolleyes:

“With word of Mullah Muhammad Omar’s death now getting out, most likely two years after the event, the world is catching up with a Taliban leadership crisis already in progress.”

Probably, maybe two years ago so no points.

I think we can let our Death Mistress mullah that one omar. :wink:

Someone need a group hug? :stuck_out_tongue:

No, just a time machine. :slight_smile:

You have to be really careful with those things. If you go too far into the future, past your points, you end up transforming into Peter Capaldi.

Perhaps a Time Browser would be better. Hit CNN in January, 2016, “People of Note we lost in 2015”.

Country singer Lynn Anderson has died at 67.

Well, nobody promised her a Death Pool placement!:frowning:

There are worse fates. You could turn into Colin Baker.

TMZ is reporting that wrestling legend Roddy Piper has died at 61. Nobody else is reporting it yet, but they have been accurate in the past. Roddy was just quoted a couple of days ago on the Hulk Hogan news.
