The Celebrity Death Pool 2004

Hell, we oughtta give a35362 a couple of bonus points for having to type up that list.

Na, that’s probably been in a35362’s list for a long time. All the news organizations had obits and stories ready for his death, why not do the same here?

Zamboni, you slay me.

Have we established that Nightsky is now known as Lathe of Heaven? If not, I’ve made a couple of goofs.

Also, somehow I missed 5 time champ the other day, who also earned 7 points for Reagan. My apologies, champ.

Okay, Nightsky is now Lathe of Heaven. I got it now.

Gimme back those bonus points!

Easy come, easy go. . . .

I can’t. You’re not on my list, and I wouldn’t earn points for it anyway.

Don’t know if he was on anyone’s list, but according to CNN and NPR, Ray Charles has died at 73.

Okay, we’ve had Reagan and Ray Charles within a week of each other. Since they (celebrities) usually die in threes, who’s next?

[Morbid] I hope it’s someone on MY list! [/Morbid]

Nope, nobody picked him!

I am deeply saddened by the death of Ray Charles.

And absolutely stunned that he wasn’t on anybody’s list!!

Nobody picked him?? That’s unbelievable. I mean, really…

…I just can’t see that. :cool:

Sorry…really, very sorry for that…no, really, there’s no need for the bat…

There’s something inherently wrong with the fact that the Reagan funeral was on TV and they broke in to report the Ray Charles death…two layers of mourning on CNN.

I’d be more disgusted if it hadn’t taken me 5 1/2 hours to get that.

It was kind of like whent hey broke into the wall-to-wall coverage of Princess Diana’s death to report Mother Theresa’s death. Very surreal.

:smack: Ray Charles was on my list last year, but I chose to leave him off this year. :smack:

Jim Henson and Sammy Davis Jr. died on the same day.
Johnny Cash and John Ritter died on the same day.

Now that’s weird.

Please don’t let Stevie Wonder die any time soon. :cool:

If celebrities die in threes, then I predict The Pope is next. a35362, I hope you have your typin’ fingers stretched, your knuckles cracked, and your wrists flexed for that list.

I’m thinking that now that the pre-typed list thing has been suggested, s/he’s gonna prep one for the Pope.

That’s because he was supposed to live forever, dammit!

If somebody had put him on their list, he would have!
