Well, KIA, it’s not like I’m wishing him dead. I’d rather he not, either.

Just bouncing this up for a progress report.
So far, there’s been no progress to report.
Not a single person who was mentioned died in the month of January. I tell you, you can’t rely on those celebrities for nothing.
Just so this post won’t be totally pointless, here’s some celebrities who would have scored you points for January if anyone had picked them:
Don Budge, tennis player, 16 points.
Craig Claiborne, food critic, 21 points.
Sam Jaffe, Hollywood agent, 2 points.
Bob Lemon, baseball player, 21 points.
Don Martin, cartoonist, 32 points.
Patrick O’Brian, author, 15 points.
Zeljko Raznatovic, war criminal, 53 points.
Boris Yeltsin
Slobodan Milolosivic
One of the Kids from Hanson
the Dalai Llama
Liz Taylor
Bob Dole
Nelson Mandela
Tommy Lee Jones
Charlie Sheen
John Goodman
John Larrigan
“Is there a chance that Our power plant was responsible for harming those Ducks, Smithers?”
“there’s no doubt about it, Sir”
“Excellent”
I swear, Nemo, I meant to put Raznatovic on my list! Honest! Can I have the points?
This is about my Magic Johnson guess! How do we know that he hasn’t crossed over the AIDS line? And that is exactly the difference between HIV and AIDS. A line! If your T-cell count dips below 200, you have AIDS. Even if it goes back up for what ever reason, I belive it is still considered AIDS. Any body feel free to correct me.
My guess is That Magic is sicker than he lets on. I have noticed that his participation in public type activities has curbed off greatly.
So I stick with my guess on that one. Jolly day to everybody.
- Bob Hope (but he’s fooled me before)
- Dennis Rodman
- Carmen Electra (I’m thinking murder/suicide instigated by The Worm)
- Clint Eastwood (yeah, he got old somewhere along the way)
- Whichever Gallagher brother is the lead singer of Oasis
- Ronald Reagan (I want to make sure I hit on at least * some * of these)
- Puffy Combs
- Al Unser Jr. (Hey Indy and CART auto racing have been averaging two a year lately!)
- Rosa Parks
- Strom Thurmond (What’s that worth, one point?)
“You should tell the truth, expose the lies and live in the moment.” - Bill Hicks
And they’re off.
Odieman takes an early lead with his double pick of Tom Landry and Charles Schultz, which gives him 48 points. With several elderly men and self-destructive drug addicts still on his roster, Odieman’s looking like a contender to take it all. At the advice of counsel, Odieman has declined to comment on his skill at this event.
Jjoe, smug, StrTrker777 are also on the board with 23 points for Charles Schultz.
And once again, several celebrities who were not picked:
Jacqueline Auriol, aviation pioneer, 18 points
Clifton Daniel, editor, 13 points
Screamin’ Jay Hawkins, singer, 30 points
Doug Henning, magician, 48 points
George Jackson, entertainment executive, 58 points
Martin Orne, psychiatrist, 28 points
William Oliver Swofford, singer, 46 points
Derrick Thomas, football player, 67 points
Roger Vadim, filmmaker, 28 points
Jim Varney, actor, 50 points
I know evrybody out their would like to know my secret. Simple, one word: Cyanide.

Can I get in with a late late entry? I promise no benefit from the passage of time has led to these picks, and I have the handicap of having only 10 months for them to kick the bucket. Also a clarification, just because I went for the points does not mean I actually want all of these picks to die, or that I even dislike them. Here goes:
Boris Yeltsin
Andy Dick
Richard Petty
John Rocker
Fidel Castro
Lisa “Left eye” Lopez
Bill Cosby
Regis Philbin (O.K., so I might want him to die)
Norm MacDonald
Fiona Apple
I thought I might get lucky when Kate Moss collapsed and was taken to a hospital. But once again, those celebrities prove they’re tougher than they look.
Our standings remain unchanged:
Odieman - 48 points
Jjoe - 23 points
smug - 23 points
StrTrker777 - 23 points
And this month’s list of celebrities you should have picked:
Morris Abram, civil rights lawyer, 19 points
Newt Arnold, director, 28 points
John Colicos, actor, 29 points
Thomas Ferebee, WWII bombadier, 19 points
Charles Gray, actor, 29 points
Ofra Haza, singer, 59 points
Jean Howard, photographer, 11 points
Judy Jarvis, radio host, 46 points
Fred Kelly, choreographer, 17 points
Pee Wee King, musician, 14 points
Durwood Kirby, TV host, 12 points
Ignatius Kung, cardinal, 2 points
Sig Mickelson, TV executive, 14 points
Mack Robinson, athlete, 15 points
Oops.
I just read today that Ian Dury died on March 27 at the age of 57. So our correct standings are actually:
smug - 66 points
Odieman - 48 points
Jjoe - 23 points
StrTrker777 - 23 points
Little Nemo, I, for one and three for a dollar, think you are doing a bang up job on keeping this list up to date!
Awright! - The lead.
Way to kick the bucket IAN!
(I feel soooo morbid)
Great job on the stats Little Nemo!
Take care.
If we’re talking about dead pools, can I plug mine ? Oh, alright then…

I thank you.
None of my people are dying, dammit!

I hear ya, Milo, and I’m beginning to feel a little guilty hoping that someone will “do in” Will Farrell.
Just a little.
