The Game Room

Mr. Wrong, you might want to pick someone other than Bob Hope. I’ve seen his age given as anywhere from 99 - 102 (he fibbed about his age when he was getting into showbiz). Anyway, he’s up there.

42

I could’ve swore that I just heard James Garner died the other day but I can’t find anything about it. Anyway, I think almost all of these have already been listed, but I assure you I’m not just “copying.”

  1. Osama bin Laden
  2. Johnny Cash
  3. Robert Downey Jr.
  4. Eminem
  5. Barry White
  6. Warren Zevon
  7. Scott Weiland
  8. Axl Rose
  9. The Pope
  10. Larry Ellison
  11. Stan Lee
  12. Jason Mewes
  13. CowboyNeal
    Explanations available upon request (though most of these are pretty damn obvious.)

No, Cisco, I think you heard that James Coburn died the other day. Anyway, here’s my first picks for this annual morbid-fest…
