OK, so as to avoid the rush in the last 10 minutes or so, here we go:

  1. Pope John Paul II
  2. Fidel Castro
  3. Muhammed Ali
  4. Abe Vigoda
  5. William Rehnquist
  6. Richard Pryor
  7. Rosa Parks
  8. Queen Elizabeth II
  9. Jesse James (the arrogant blowhard from the Discovery Channel, not the one who actually made the name famous, he’s already dead)
    10.Courtney Love
    11.Nancy Reagan
    12.Liz Taylor
    13 Margret Thatcher

Alts (if needed, in order):

  1. Gerald Ford
  2. Lady Bird Johnson
  3. James Brown

Any Dead People Yet or are we all still virgins?
:smiley:

With any luck, one of my party hard people could OD on tonights festivities and gimme some nice points.

So, live it up Andy Dick, Whintney, do another line. Anna, I think you could use a few more shots! And Keith Richards, oh hell, why did I pick you, you’ll never die.

Hell, maybe the Pope will have a heart attack while being serviced, if you know what I mean. and I think you do.
Everyone But Captain Lance Murdoch would score.

Bwahahahahahahaha

Sorry.

:smiley:

I didn’t pick His Holiness either. Although, I think I’m the only one who picked Sondheim.

Either you, Stage Manager and Lance know something the rest of us don’t know, or you are clearly geniuses or stark raving mad. :dubious:

Take it you wont’ be telling me I’m not crazy antime soon, then, hm? :wink:

(I dunno why I skipped out on him, except maybe I didn’t see much point value in him. How old is that man, anyway?)

Thank you, TellMe. (I was busy attending a crappy New Year’s party - why do those always suck?)

Now that I’m reading all those excellent picks in retrospect I’m starting to wonder about my list a bit. I’m sure they’ll all clean up and lead a very healthy and prosperous life from now on. But maybe the people I crossed OFF my list should worry - at the very top was Jerry Orbach (“He’ll live, he looks healthy enough”).

Oh, and apparently, the pope was born in 1920.

Must. resist. joke!

Thanks though :wink: Oh, and no problem on the Maradona thing; I hated to answer for you but I didn’t want time to run out on you with an unconfirmed pick lingering :wink:

Oh, I see … duh! I took Sondheim as being young and sprightly and figured since the pope looks like he’s at least 400 years old there was some confusion as to his actual age :slight_smile:

Stephen Sondheim is 73.

Dude! We musical theater fans already lost Cy Coleman, Jerry Orbach, and Fred Ebb this year! Whaddya saying?

I woke up this morning only to read in the paper that Mrs. Anthrax is dying of cancer. Couldn’t they have printed that one yesterday? :mad:

Did anyone pick her?

Who’s Mrs. Anthrax? The wife of one of the guys in that sucky Metallica-wannabe band?

Mrs. Anthrax

O’ Death, roll on. Do your dirty, thankless, yet necessary deed. We need points.

C’mon, Anna-Nicole

You have amazing self-control, Tell.

Well, we’ve got Shirley Chisolm (wish they used a better picture) and Robert Matsui. Both were members of the US House Of Representatives at some time in their political careers.
