BTW I mean Victor Yushenko not Vladimir. Ukrainian fish face president-elect guy. We all know who I mean don’t we?

That quote was from the Sun. Need we say more?

C’mon, people – two weeks (well, 16 days) still to go! Don’t leave it 'til the last minute!

But procrastination is a way of life for me! Besides, I have some Really Good Picks ™ that I don’t want stolen. It’s all part of my new strategy. :smiley:

Please forgive me, for I will be waiting until the last minute. Unless all of my picks are posted, then my reasons for secrecy will be moot.

I think I’m more interested in seeing who NurseCarmen’s picks will be than I am in my own.

Actually, I only have a couple kinda wacky ones. More than half of mine have already been posted. I was foolish enough to think Funicello was a coup. Only 6 of mine haven’t been mentioned as of yet, and I suspect that at least two of those will be brought up.

a35362, I’m not sure if you’re running this shindig, but if you are, and you would like my picks to make your life easier while throwing a list together, I can e-mail them to you.

No, that’s okay. I just don’t want a lot of our newbies and others to forget until it’s too late. The more, the merrier!

(Like I’ve figured out my own list yet.)

  1. Charlton Heston - Actor
  2. Liz Taylor - Michael Jackson’s Bridesmaid
  3. George H. W. Bush - Tey’d probably sensor what i wanna put here
  4. Ashley Olson - Mary Kate’s sister
  5. Don Knotts - a.k.a. Barney Fife
  6. Wilford Brimley - The AARP/Medicare guy with the weight problem and moustache
  7. Willie Nelson - Country Singer
  8. “Little” Jimmy Dickins - Country music hall of famer
  9. Brad Pitt - If it does happen just imagine the points I’ll get
  10. Bill Cosby- Comedian
  11. Walter Cronkite - Journalist (excuse spelling please)
  12. Joey Buttafuko - Just had to have that name in here

You skipped over #6, so you get another pick.

I thought she was too. I thought “Ha! No one will think of her!”

I did my entire list, thinking things like that. “Karl Malden! no one will think of him!”

That’s what I get for making a list before checking everyone else’s picks.

OK, here I go with my very first Death List:

  1. Dick Cheney–Vice-President
  2. Patricia Neil–Actress
  3. Louie Anderson–Comedian
  4. Charles Manson–Killer
  5. Vincent Bugliosi–Prosecuted above killer
  6. Lafitt Pincay, Jr.–Jockey extrodinaire
  7. Mary Travers–Folk singer
  8. Ron Popeil–Infomercial pioneer
  9. Ed McMahon–Carson sidekick
  10. Dr. Demento (Barret Hansen)–song parodyist
  11. Roslyn Carter–Jimmy’s wife
  12. Tina Louise–Gilligan’s Island actress
  13. Peter Max–Pop artist

Alternates:

  1. Bob Barker–ancient game show host
  2. John Goodman–Good Roseanne husband, bad Fred Flintstone

Hmmm…you haven’t quite grasped the concept of this thread have you?

Most of picks have been taken. Oh well, I may as post.

  1. Pope John Paul 2
  2. William F. Buckley Jr.
  3. Gerald Ford
  4. Charlie Watts (Rolling Stones drummer)
  5. B.B. King
  6. Henry Aaron
  7. Jerry Lewis
  8. George Jones
  9. James Doohan
  10. Queen Elizabeth
  11. Wilfred Brimley
  12. Arthur C. Clark
  13. Manuel Noriega

Alternates:
Ray Bradbury
Chief Justice William H. Rehnquist
Bill Cosby
John Glenn

Now Noriega is going to be stolen. I won’t get that Grim Reaper award this year.

I’m thinking she’s just had some really bad picks over the past 2 years and none of her people are dying… and thus the trend continues :wink:

How about introducing a ‘rolling substitute’ as you go along?When Celebrity 1 on your list leaves the mortal coil,you can introduce another to replace them so that you always have 13 on the list?Those of exceptional deathspotting abilities may thus finish with a list completely different to their original one and reward their skill by providing them with an opportunity for more points…

Paging lel

You mean James D. Watson, the DNA guy, born 1928, right? “James Watson” sounds like one of my neighbors, you betcha!

All hail Wikipedia!

Definitely going for the Grim Reaper award this year. No sure things for me…
