I think that I’ll probably revise my list to include some clebs already infirm and take off some of the long shots like Todd Bridges. But here it is.

I had originally chosen Deion Sanders just because I wanted a recent athlete in my list, but I just realized there are some much more likely candidates that still meet my criteria. So I would like to change my #3 choice to Daryl Strawberry.
My updated list:

I’ve tried to pick 13 who nobody else has picked yet.
Francis Ford Coppola
Alberto Fujimori
Christian Slater
The Dalai Lama
Colin Powell
Ariel Sharon
Derek Jacobi
Rupert Murdoch
Michael Milken
Madonna
Jack Palance
Charlton Heston
Oprah
BTW, has anyone read Lawrence Block’s short story, “When This Man Dies”? Sobering for any of our participants.
Whoops, yeah that guy.

Hi!
I’m still mulling over my list… sigh I’m so out of the loop on celebrity gossip!
I got him first.
Dang, how’d I miss that one? Oh well, maybe we’ll both luck out . . .
OK, be honest…how many of these are legitimate picks and how many of them are wishful thinking??
There’s not a single person on my list who I want dead, honest. If I were picking that way, John Eric King, Tim McVeigh, and Jesse Helms would head my list, though the first two aren’t eligible under the rules.
This just isn’t your day Danimal. Jack Palance is dead.
Jack Palance is still kicking. He’d prolly give you a swift kick himself for trying to bury him early.

I don’t know who John Eric King is, but McVeigh is elligible, just as long as he dies in some way other than his official execution. Slipping in the shower and cracking his head on the faucet would give about 65 points.
My wishful thinking? Well, I guess I don’t sincerely wish Gallagher dead, but I suppose I wouldn’t mind if his mouth were accidentally sewn shut.

I guess this isn’t my day. As a matter of fact, this whole week has been off.
Oh well.
JavaMaven1, your right. Jack is storming along at the ripe old age of 81.
I could have sworn I heard Billy Crystal commenting on how much he missed him.

Not surprising, since I misremembered his name. It’s actually John William King, who was the chief perpetrator in the Jasper, Texas murder of James Byrd.
I sincerely apologize for being so indecisive here, but I’m going to change my list again. Gallagher was kind of a mean-spirited throwaway, so I’ll replace him with junk bond guru and terminal cancer patient, Michael Milkin.
Again, I apologize to the organizer(s) of Deathpool 2001 for the inconvenience.

Here are my “lucky” 13:
