mobo85 named “Chuck Jones (greatest living cartoon director)” Being that Mr. Jones died recently (RIP) hasn’t mobo85 won the prize for first named celebrity to die? ---

Carrie Hamilton and Princess Margaret died first and were on a couple of lists. ---

I expect Little Nemo will have kept a record. He had a master list last year. On the other hand, the deathpool was posted over at fathom last year too, and I can’t seem to find this year’s version there. ---

I thought I had already posted to this thread, but I guess not. And I suppose I’ll have to leave off Dudley Moore now. OK, here’s my picks for the rest of the year. 1. **Gloria Stuart** (old) 2. **Katherine Hepburn** (really old) 3. **John Goodman** (obese) 4. **Jeff Gordon** (race car driver) 5. **Robert Downey, Jr.** (drug addict) 6. **Pope John Paul II** (old and infirm) 7. \*\*John Popper \*\*(obese) 8. \*\*Don Knotts \*\*(old) 9. **Greg Louganis** (has AIDS) 10. **Strom Thurmond** (really, really old) 11. **Yassir Arafat** (assassination) 12. **Milton Berle** (old) 13. \*\* Ol’ Dirty Bastard\*\* (you name it) ---

> [@](#): > > Hey, what happened to my picks? I KNOW I had Dudley Moore…along with just about everyone else! Yeah, we had this little board outage that wiped out all posts from December 8 through to Feb when the boards went down. Deathpool opened December 1 and most pics were made later in December, and so have been lost forever (unless Nemo has the master list backed up somewhere) ---

Duff McKagan definitely shouldn’t be on this list… he’s clean and sober now and does kickboxing, he’s very healthy. he looks like he does in this pic: [http://qfg.tierranet.com/other/images/duff-od.jpg](http://qfg.tierranet.com/other/images/duff-od.jpg) > [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by cazzle \* > \*\*Queen Mum is worth negative points - she’s over 100 now. > > After just barely getting my losers in on time last year, I’m going to have a shot at being first this year.

In this game, I kind of like it when I lose. Last year I was 0 for 13, this year I’m 2/13 and it’s only March! (Well, close enough to April). ---

wouldn’t you say he looks pretty fit in that picture? I saw him play a couple of months ago, he put on a good show, pretty energetic. i’d say he’ll live into his 60s or so… > [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by cazzle \* > \*\*Yikes! Scary! Opium Den?

Well he certainly looks fit - but like I say, I can’t even recognise him! He always looked so sleepy back in his GnR days 🙂 Here’s hoping he does live a good long life, but still… you never know what can happen. I would have picked Princess Di as one to live a long time, with all her pampering and exercise routines. ---

Yes, but she was 101. So no points if anyone picked her. ---

**Icarus** - congratulations just don’t seem right. And if the Pope and Johnny Cash both go this year, we’ll still be tied - looks like we were thinking along the same lines. 29 points for Princess Margaret and 34 for Dudley Moore = 63 points. Who had Carrie Hamilton? I remember there were two of you. She was worth 62 points (only 38 years old, how sad). Milton Berle was worth 7 points - and congrats (or whatever is appropriate) to **gobear** for the fastest 7 points, with what? a day between your pick and Uncle Milty’s death. ---

I was one of two people who had Carrie Hamilton for 62 points. I also remember having Stephen King and four members of the cast of Friends (I threw out Lisa and Jennifer). I don’t remember who else, but I’d like to put a bid in for all four members of ABBA. How long can they live?
