Celebrity Death Pool 2019

Dick Cole, last of the Doolittle Raiders, died yesterday in San Antonio at minus three points.

Charles Van Doren cannot cheat death.

Seymour Cassel, dies at 84

Joe Bertony, spy and engineer who figured out “how” to actually build the Syndey Opera House.

Nobel prize winning molecular biologist Sydney Brenner, who pioneered the scientific abuse of a nematode. 8pts.

Singer-songwriter Earl Thomas Conley died yesterday at age 77. I had no idea he had 18 number 1 hits.

Former MLB pitcher Scott Sanderson has died at 62. No cause of death stated.

Forrest Gregg, Lombardi-era lineman and proof that good players don’t always make good coaches, dies:

UFO guitarist and keyboard player Paul Raymond dead at 73.

Author Gene Wolfe has died. I had him.

13 points.

Anyone else have him?

Georgia Engel, ‘Mary Tyler Moore Show’ star, dies at 70

Hey, did I get a unique pick with Gene Wolfe?

I can not say for sure, but I think that would be my first unique pick in the entire time I’ve been playing this game.

I did a Search this Thread for ‘Wolfe’, and the only hits were (a) your posts, and (b) where Andrew 21 pointed out that you’d listed him twice. So while our Death Mistress has the final word, I’d say it’s looking good for you.

If I weren’t so sad that Gene Wolfe died, I’d be pretty happy right now. Still, his loss is too great.

Death stinks.

Er, death stank 2 years ago.
mmm

Uhhhhhhhhh. Well, I’ll bet it REALLY stinks now! :o

I think this is the longest I’ve gone with no points. Dear people on my list, you have buckets to kick and you need to get cracking! It doesn’t have to be Donald Trump or George Zimmerman…Mr. Eastwood, care to show 'em how it’s done?

Most every year I go scoreless the entire year. I’m strangely okay with that, knowing that I’m not giving some kind of curse to those I select.
