I’ve just got too much going on, I don’t have time to write a death pool list. It doesn’t seem right not to enter, though – so I need 13 suggestions for names to put on it. They can be shitty suggestions, I scored zero this year with my “share a last name with a signer of the Declaration of Independence” themed list, so it’s not like I’m an actual player in this game. (My best year ever was … '09? Was that the M. Jackson/F. Fawcett/P. Swayze year?)
Betty White
Pink (the singer)
Linda Gray (Dallas)
Violeta Barrios Torres de Chamorro (Past president of Nicaragua)
Brown (Lots of choices)
Vida Blue (former MLB player)
Red Schoendienst
Hubert Green (golfer)
Black (lots of choices)
