The Celebrity Death Pool 2003

With the passing of Hume Cronyn, we now add:

BiblioCat and Evil One with 9 points and
WSLer now has 22 points.

To answer Santos’s question, I don’t have any opinion regarding whether WSLer should be eligible to receive points. I didn’t make a rule against it. I suppose it’s moot unless he/she wins.

Yay, I’m in the game!

Seems to be a rather morbid thing to be happy about…

Oh, I don’t know, BiblioCat… I’m faintly annoyed that I haven’t got any points yet!

Ditto. I should pick slightly obscure people. They seem to be the biggest dieing class right now.

I don’t know…it seem rather fitting for a “deceased” Doper to win a death pool. :smiley:

Break out the tequila, t-keela, Lester Maddox has died.

Congratulations to t-keela with 13 points!

Well, I’ll be damned. It was just a guess…not that I wished it or anything but here’s a quote from ol’ Lester.

“I want my race preserved,” he said, “and I hope most everybody else wants theirs preserved. I think forced segregation is illegal and wrong. I think forced racial integration is illegal and wrong. I believe both of them to be unconstitutional.”

Did anyone else have the racist bastard on their list?

BTW - I do have a bottle of Anejo Tres Generaciones 100% pure Agave tequila at hand as we speak…damned good stuff! :wink:

Well, we’ve got a bunch more people on the score board. Katharine Hepburn just died at 96.

ARGH! Strom was on my original list, but I cut him when I realized I wouldn’t get any points.

With the passing of Katharine Hepburn sob, we have four players with updated points and seven new names on the scoreboard, as follows:

Rabid Child (formerly bean-shadow) - 20 points
labtrash and scout1222 - 17 points
Evil One - 14 points
a35362 (yours truly)
Bryan Ekers
gobear
lieu
Saitou
Shirley Ujest
and
vivalostwages with 4 points each.

A couple of people picked Strom Thurmond, then changed their minds when they realized they wouldn’t get any points for him. So nobody gets QNQ credit for him.

I’ll post my first of the month updated scoreboard tomorrow.

Buddy Hackett dead at 78.

WOOOOO!

I’m on the board at last!

With half the year gone, the scoreboard stands thusly:

Interrobang!? - still in the lead at 30 points

Sapphyre Rose - 26 points

Santos L Halper (with the passing of Buddy Hackett) and
WSLer - tied with 22 points

Rabid Child - 20 points

labtrash and
scout1222 - tied with 17 points

h.sapiens - 16 points

Evil One and
Tuckerfan - tied with 14 points

HelloKitty and
t-keela - tied with 13 points

BiblioCat - 9 points

and finally

a35362
Bryan Ekers
gobear
lieu
Saitou
Shirley Ujest
and
vivalostwages - tied with 4 points.

It’s been a busy month!

No, I can’t add. Evil One has only 13 points, not 14: Nine for Hume Cronyn and four for Katharine Hepburn. D’oh!

Where’s my calculator?

Barry White dead at 58.

SDMB Deathpool

R.I.P. Barry.

I feel like a louse.

Wow! With the deaths of Barry White (worth 42 points) and Buddy Ebsen (worth 5 points), we have lots of new scorers:

Taking the lead with 58 points is h.sapiens, who picked Barry White.

Tied for second place by also picking Barry White are:

Cisco
Deep Fried
Mr._Garrison
rogzilla
and
S. Mussberger

Interrobang!? slips to third place!

Updated point totals include:

WSLer - 27 points

Tuckerfan - 19 points

Evil One (after carefully checking my addition) - 18 points

BiblioCat - 14 points and

Kinsey
Little Nemo
and
mobo85 - tied with 5 points.

Congratulations, everybody!

A half-dozen or so players in this macabre game have earned 5 points each at the expense of Buddy Ebsen.

First Buddy Hackett and now Buddy Ebsen. Who’s next, Bud Cort?
