No takers for Robin Leach, but John McCain may not survive the year…

I feel like we all dropped the ball on that one. His stroke was reported last year and no one took him.

You’re being facetious, of course.

His 82nd birthday is on August 29, so his death would be worth 18 points unless he kicks the bucket in the next four and a half days.

I think Loach was referring to Leach. :slight_smile:

Dear Mr. McCain, you’re a decent guy. I’d rather have the points this year than next…

You’re right, I got the wrong antecedent. :smiley:

Me too! That’s the way we roll in this thread.

But given my political leanings, I’d like to see him hold on to as late in the year as possible, so that the AZ gov can’t replace him with an automatic GOP vote in the Senate until next year.

Comics artist Russ Heath dies at 9 points that I assume are all mine. Hopefully he’s making Roy Lichtenstein pay him $4 million right now.

9 Points and a Unique Pick (and tie for ‘Grim Reaper’ Award), while 43 players wait on john McCain:

I was shocked when I found out Robin Leach was only 76. I remember his shows from the 1980s, and I thought he was pretty old even then. Of course I was only 10 or 11, and just about any famous person seemed old.

^same. I would have guessed he was in his sixties back during the 1980s. I was surprised to hear of his death, because I would have assumed he died many years ago.

I am in the same boat. I thought he was 55-60 thirty years ago.

Here is a video. He’s only 44 or so in this video.

John McCain has died at 19 points.

Singer Kyle Povone of We Came As Romans has died at XXVIII

It’s going to take the Death Shroom a while to do the numbers work for McCain. I PM’d him a couple days ago asking how many players had selected McCain and I think he said thirty-one. Over on the GB 7 out of 25 players selected him.

He was on my list.

Well, John McCain may be my only points this year, but I guess I didn’t strike out.

The people on my list seem to be Immortal.

Some guys always looked old.

Abe Vigoda was in The Godfather. Here’s a scene. How old would you say he was?

Vigoda was fifty when the movie was filmed.

The answer (sorry, Deep Thought!) is forty-three. :slight_smile:

With Tim Conway trending today I thought “points for me!!!” but though he is ill, he has not yet fallen.
