Mike Tyson says he wants to die.

Can’t that count for something?

I’m sure Mike Tyson isn’t the only one who wants to see Mike Tyson dead.

RIP Buddy. I’m sad to hear of his passing.

He’ll prolly kick off the moment he sees the remake of Harold and Maude. (And I, for one, wouldn’t blame him a bit.)

I have so many old and unhealthy people on my list. No one has died. Why did Ted have to be the Kennedy to get out of the sixties? Oh yeah, so he could be on my list. I haven’t scored one point. I feel like the Cincinnatti Bengals.

**Santos ** you totally and completely rock.

Now, here is a fiver, gimme 40 more points.

With the deaths of Uday and Qusay Hussein confirmed, we have two new names on our list. Congratulations to Protesilaus and rexnervous, who now tie for first place with 61 points each after picking Uday. (Nobody picked Qusay.)

I didn’t pick anyone from Saddam’s gang because I sincerely believed we would never find out if they were in fact dead. :smack: :smack: :smack:

I’ll quit moping when I score.

Woo Hoo! You know what the best part of this is? I can’t feel particularly…nay, at all…sad about this particular death.

Sorry, but it’s the truth.

Just checked the scoring and was very pleased to find I was tied for 31st place. It is good to exceed your expcetations.

Bob Hope has shuffled off this mortal coil.

Bryan Ekers and Squirebob, while scoring no points, are recognized on behalf of the Quantity Not Quality Award in picking Bob Hope. However, Bryan has only one other dead celebrity so far and Squirebob has none. WSLer and Evil One each has three dead celebrities so far.

And nobody picked director John Schlesinger or Patrick Dennehy.

Well, who would have guessed Patrick Dennehy? That’s just sad.

Squirebob also scores for QNQ.

Congratulations, everybody!

How come I’ve always gotta bring up the rear?

Seems like that’s what you do best!

Gregory Hines, 57.

Gregory Hines is worth 43 points, if anyone had him.

Nope, nobody picked him.

I think Saddam is in his 60’s, which would be a nice little chunk of change for me. I hope he puts up a fight when he gets his door kicked in.

Damn, I thought I had picked Idi Amin.

Oh well, he’s dead anyway.
