This is the Dope; we have no actual lives whatsoever. Someone would connect the dots between your points and your last log-in/activity date eventually. Now if I was sort of famous and didn’t notice the Old Wench added me to her list and she then killed me and escaped in some creative manner - and found my password and made a few clever posts as me - it could result in her beating me yet again.

I’ll move up the first alternate.

Repeat 2019 - A very slow year…

Just a suggestion, but if anyone wants to give the Death Mistress a gift for her birthday, you could consider NOT waiting until fifteen minutes to midnight on 12/31!:wink:

Reprising my list of entertainers over 90 years old. I helped keep all but two of last year’s aged picks alive for another full year, including four centenarians. Carol Channing and Doris Day gave me a few points in 2019, but I’m hoping for a low score again this year to avoid losing any more of these great talents.

As always, I’m playing the odds, not going for points. The maximum I could earn, if all of these wonderful actors dropped dead in early January, is 46. The first four are *still *over 100. (They seem to be proving George Burns right when he said, “If you make it to 100, you’ve got it made, because very few people die past 100.”)

They’re listed in descending age. Norman Lloyd (best known for St. Elsewhere) turned 105 on Nov. 8. Betty White will turn 98 on Jan. 17. The youngest, Conrad Janis (Mork & Mindy), turns 92 in February.

As Little Nemo said a couple of Decembers back,

So keep that in mind, folks, when you put extremely old people like Elizabeth II, Prince Philip, Kirk Douglas, Jimmy Carter, and Betty White on your lists. They’ve all gotten really, really good at making it through another year. :smiley:
