You hosting it again?

Life Pool: All picks must between 75 and 100, you get a baseline of 100 points, and the younger they are when they die the more points are deducted(1 point taken away if the pick dies at 100, down to 25 points deducted if they die at 75). The person with the most points left wins, but if you lose all your points you are knocked out of the game.
Robert Norris, the first actual real-life cowboy Marlboro Man, dead from dementia at 90.
He outlived many of those Marlboro Men who came after him, because he never actually smoked.
Gee – come up with one more name assuming Jimbo hangs in there. Yeah – I better get started on that now. ![]()
I’d play that! Do you want to host it?
Let us continue this conversation here.
Depends on who dies in the next seven weeks. :eek: ![]()
I think you ashould be praying for the continued health of the picks on GIGObuster’s and Registered at Last’s lists. Light a candle at least.![]()
Let’s leave prayers out of it if that’s OK, but there are definitely some currently living people on their lists that wouldn’t surprise me if they’re no longer breathing by the time your birthday rolls around.
I’m hoping that the remaining 47.5 days of the 2019 Death Pool are very, very quiet to make up for all the activity of the past few months. 
The Old Wench is lamenting that she now needs to re-do next years possible list as much as this years; she had plans on adding the widow of Roberto Clemente.
“Dammit – 2 more months and I would have had points!”
Under this roof deathpools are a touchier subject than anything else. ![]()
It’s been a quiet year for high profile deaths. Compared to 2016/2017 cavalcade, it’s unusually slow.
Oh, the Humanity! Werner Gustav Doehner, last survivor of the Hindenburg disaster.
Lawrence Paull, production designer best known for his set work on the Back to the Future movies and Bladerunner.
Brad McQuaid, lead producer and designer of EverQuest, perishes in Lower Guk*

*First EQ zone to come to mind
A sad day for Canadian music fans earlier this week. John Mann of Spirit of the West passed away at 57 due to complications from his early onset dementia.
And extra sad for me since I only had him on my Themed list.
Walter Minton, censor fighting publisher who released “Lolita” while president of Putnam’s.
Well, someone, Mean Mr. Mustard, did have Mann and moves up in rank.

Gahan Wilson, cartoonist, has died at the age of 89.
The afterlife just got weirder and creepier.
His cartoons were wonderful, for those of us of a certain turn of mind. Which would probably include most of us who participate in the Death Pool. ![]()
