The Celebrity Death Pool 2004

For my Number 6, I mean Jerry Lewis.

I just want to state that based on my reading of the rules, Saddam would be legal since he wasn’t sentanced to death like stated. I didn’t pick him anyways, so I could care less what the final result is, but there certainly needs to be a clarification since the case as it happened isn’t covered by the rules.

Ronald Reagan
Christopher Reeve
Walter Cronkite
Queen Elizabeth II
Michael Jackson
Saddam Hussein
Osama bin Laden
Johnny Carson
Keith Richards
Fidel Castro
Marlon Brando
Andy Griffith
Don Knotts

  2. Pope John Paul II
  3. Jerry Lewis - Bloat man
  4. Harvey Korman - Carol’s sidekick

I am totally blown away by two things:

– Lady Bird Johnson is still alive; and

– I didn’t know it.

I just remembered; I wanted to put John Gregory Dunn on my list.

What?

No! I missed the deadline! Kept on putting it off and off, until it was too late… :smack:

How about giving us to the end of today? :rolleyes:

I don’t know if you’ll let me in, but here’s my list anyway…

Ok, since Saddam has been ruled illegal if he’s executed (which, I would like to go on record as saying is “bullshit” :), I point to my post made a day or two ago about the president of Pakistan.

Oh, Og DAMN IT! I don’t know how I missed this thread for an entire month!!!

Ummm, youse guys, Mr. Babbington’s post is the last valid entry. Any submissions or changes after that are no good.

And…on with the game!

Godblessit, it gives me bad info when I’m not signed in. Forget my last post, there.

SandyHook’s post is the last valid post.

And on with the game…

Question: vanilla picked “one of the Dixie Chicks”. Does he have a chance to pick another person or specifiy which of the Dixie Chicks or has that moment passed?

No, that’s invalid, per rule #6 (“must specify a name”).

Okay, I’ll change the master list accordingly then. Speaking of, I FINALLY FINISHED that blame thing, so look for an email with a rather large attachment, sunfish. It’s 38 pages long.
