The Celebrity Death Pool 2003

The Game Room
61

Don’t the rules specifically prohibit murder in order to increase your score?

62

Wow… this is so wrong… but I must enter anyway.

Sorry that these are on everyone’s list, but they’re the good bets:

  1. Da Pope
  2. His Royal Michaelness, King of Baby-dangling
  3. Waren Zevon
  4. Sharon Osbourne
  5. Christopher Lee (sniff… even he’s not sure he’ll see ROTK)

And now, some more difficult ones:
6) Yasser Arafat (not looking well, and has lots of enemies)
7) Charleton Heston
8) Steve-O (from Jackass)
9) Jimmy Carter
10) Christopher Reeve

And a few longshots:
11) Jackie Chan
12) Mick Foley
13) Puff Daddy

I feel so dirty…

63

Shoot, I just remembered that I had a pretty good pick that I forgot to list. If someone dies before new years (coughwarrenzevoncough) can we replace him with someone else?

64

aw heck. I’ve had a change of heart. I think Sharon Osbourne’s gonna be ok. And I’m gonna yank out Heston, too. I have faith in the Superman Curse, so I’ll add Dean Cain and Tom Welling instead.

Final List:

  1. Pope John Paul II
  2. Michael Jackson
  3. Waren Zevon
  4. Dean Cain
  5. Christopher Lee
  6. Yasser Arafat
  7. Tom Welling
  8. Steve-O
  9. Jimmy Carter
  10. Christopher Reeve
  11. Jackie Chan
  12. Mick Foley
  13. Puff Daddy
65

Ya smartass. :smiley:

66

beckwall, the Olsen twins and Haley Joel Osment are invalid picks – they’re all too young. The Olsens don’t turn 18 until 2004 and Osment until 2006. So gimme three more names, please.

This game is macabre enough! :eek:

67

Nope. Here it is.

Here’s my list

  1. Muammar Quadafi/Gadaffhi/Duckbreath/whichever you prefer
  2. June Foray (Last great living voice actress. I like her work, but she’s getting on in years.)
  3. Ronald Reagan (he’s an oldie, too)
  4. Yassir Arafat (Not as old, but he’s still in trouble)
  5. Osama bin Laden (hopefully he’ll go the same way Hitler did)
  6. Yogi Berra (I love him, he’s funny, but he’s old)
  7. Pauline Phillips, aka “Dear Abby” (as old as her late sister)
  8. Walter Cronkite
  9. Buddy Ebsen (Come an’ listen to a story 'bout a man named Jed…)
  10. Mickey Rooney
  11. Saddam Hussein (another one of those hated political figures)
  12. Hugh Hefner
  13. Gary Coleman (I like to end my list with an unexpected one)

This is just for fun. I don’t want any of these people to die, but they’re getting on in years…except Gary Coleman.

68

Scott Weiland!!

  1. Ronald Reagan
  2. Charles Manson
  3. Whitney Houston
  4. Warren Zevon

  7. Rodney Dangerfield
  8. Abe Vigoda
  9. Mohammed Ali
  10. Annette Funicello
  11. Charles Bronson
  12. Richard Pryor

My alternate is Dick Clark. I was sure he would short circuit on Y2K, but I guess his deal with the devil still stands.

This is morbid and sick. I love it!

  6. Charles Bronson (apparently, being an old actor is bad for you)

  9. Jack T. Chick (if we’re lucky)
