Celebrity Deathpool 2001

Hawking almost made my list, but I figure that he is, in all reality, an alien life form and will live damn near forever.

Why are so many people including David Spade? I thought he was a healthy young man is he sick or something?

Crap, I put down 15 because that’s how many my friends and I are playing with.

Nix Jack Paar and Don Knotts.

Junior

  1. SNL curse.
  2. He was almost killed last week by a crazed assistance. Someone’s got his number.
  3. Hi Opal!

Here, Mr. Spade, let me help you carry in those groceries! Oops.

AAAIIIEEE!

Sorry, Mr. Spade, my fingers slipped…

An update every month and what do I get for it?

I have nothing to contribute – don’t play dead pools – but for some reason I found this really funny :smiley:

Opal??? I saw the same old ugly mug in the mirror this morning as I shaved, didn’t look like an Opal.

ThisYearsGirl: Jesse Camp was an MTV vj and well, about as lame as they come.

This is sick . . . but strangely fun.

1)Dick Cheney
2)George Carlin
3)Christy Turlington
4)Strom Thurmond (always got a shot)
5)Jesse Helms (one can dream)
6)Stephen King
7)Louie Anderson
8)Kurt Douglas
9)Scott Weiland
10)Ted Nugent (freak gun accident)
11)Bob Dole
12)Yassir Arafat (sp?)
13)Stevie Nicks

Kirk Douglas?

Revision Number 1:

Replace Joan Jett with Dudley Moore.

New List:

  1. Colin Quinn
  2. Ruth Bader Ginsberg
  3. Ronald Reagan
  4. Richard Pryor
  5. Eudora Welty
  6. Andy Rooney
  7. Thor Heyerdahl
  8. Bob Dole
  9. Dudley Moore
  10. Stephen Hawking
  11. Arthur Miller
  12. Daryl Strawberry
  13. Hughe Hefner

My picks:

Snoop Doggy Dogg
Robert Downey, Jr.
John Goodman
Ronald Reagan
Pope John Paul II
Keith Richards
Muhammad Ali
Michael J. Fox
Sean Connery (Suck on it, Trebek. Suck it long, and suck it hard.)
Mike Tyson
Dick Cheney
Jackie Chan - I like Sublight’s rationale here
Dan Ackroyd

I leaned towards people with health problems (Dan Aykroyd is really fat) who weren’t TOO old, and mix in a few oldies for some safe points. Better to hit the jackpot with one Mike Tyson than three Bob Hopes.

I really didn’t want to pick Michael J. Fox 'cause I like him, but business is business, and the vultures are circling.

  1. Kirk Douglas
  2. Bill Murray
  3. Mickey Rooney
  4. Dudley Moore
  5. Perry Como
  6. Johnny Cash
  7. Muhammad Ali
  8. Frank Gifford
  9. Kathie Lee Gifford
  10. Ronald Reagan
  11. Annette Funicello
  12. Gary Busey
  13. Ted Kennedy
  1. Katherine Hepburn
  2. James Doohan
  3. Julia Child
  4. Dom DeLuise
  5. Robert Downey, Jr.
  6. Dana Carvey
  7. Tommy Lasorda
