I don’t think I’ve ever had anyone of my picks die during the year. Repeated wholesale failures caused me to stay away from the 2018 Pool but I decided I’m just going to keep using [my previous list until some of them just fucking die already](https://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showpost.php?p=19877146&postcount=206) (no, none of them died _this_ year either).

Loretta Lynn (coalminer’s daughter)  
Charlie Daniels (made a deal with the devil)  
Tommy Chong (stoner)  
Jimmy Carter (nuclear peanut farmer and construction worker)  
Donald Trump (con man)  
Henry Kissinger (jackass)  
Sandy Koufax (southpaw)  
Curly Neal (#22)  
Bobby Bowden (Puntrooskie caller)  
Buzz Aldrin (original moonwalker)  
Clint Eastwood (chairtalker)  
Fred Silverman (former TV exec)  
Ron Popeil (legendary inventor & marketing genius)

Alternates

Al Jaffee (very unserious guy)  
Bill Cosby (rapist)  
Regis Philbin (professionally inoffensive host)

Also, I’m pretty sure Rule #1 has a typo, or else this is gonna be the toughest SDMB Celebrity Death Pool yet!

> 1. You pick 13 celebrities (that’s thirteen, _ **not** _ ten) whom you predict will die **within the calendar year 2018**.
