The Celebrity Death Pool 2005

Me too.

Me, three.

I didn’t pick the Pope because…umm… I wanted to have unique picks! That’s it.

Well, I can’t believe it, but finally I’ve gotten some points. Of course, this will likely ensure that anyone else on my list is safe for 2005. :smiley: Except maybe Courtney Love and Mick Jagger, that is.

Me too. But not unique responses, apparently. :slight_smile:

Actually, I didn’t take him because he wasn’t worth that many points. I went mostly for longshots.

I suppose I should feel guilty for popping my Dead Pool 2005 Cherry on the Pontiff, but(t) Hey, it’s a cruel, cruel world out there and thems the breaks.

::::Points and laughs at Nurse Carmen.:::::::::::::

Someone has to gloat.

That’s me too.Let me join the pity party.

Well I think that’s all six of us who didn’t put the Pope down. Looks like the race for last is gonna be a tight one! I think I’ll hope for another year with a big fat zero. Which is probably good news for all the people on my list.

My reasoning as well.

Hell, with just Johnny Carson and Terry Schiavo on my list I got 70 points.

I passed on the Pope too. I was shooting for that inside track with the grim reaper thing. I could have used the points though. This years game is just turning into a bloodletting! It’s going to take well north of 100 points to win methinks.

Congratulations. I had Hunter S. Thompson, so if something happens to Bonnie Prince Charlie I may yet pass you by.

I still have high hopes for some of mine. Cmon Axl don’t let me down!

Me too.

The “not many points” and “wanted unique picks.”

Room for one more?

Wanted unique picks, plus the guy seemed to be immortal.

It’s so sad The Pope died. He didn’t live quite long enough to see his NCAA basketball bracket turn out perfect. He was one of the few in The Vatican who didn’t pick the University of Louisville to win the title. :wink:

Not to put this too lightly though. I was pretty sad when I heard he died.

a35362 is seriously going to need a vacation. Or at least some cookies and milk.

My first ever post was my list, did I pick the Pope? Hell no. I’m so damn smart I’m still at zero.

Here’s a head start on DP06: Peter Jennings

You know, Clive Burr is slowly declining due to MS, and Paul Di’Anno’s liver’s been working overtime.

For next year, you know…

Saul Bellow

Hey, that link a page back for Andrew Toti…a guy who invented the Mae West Life Preserver…he also invented the Pull Tab for soda cans. How cool is that?

Kinda ironic he died within days of Frank Perdue.

Robert White Creeley, who wrote more than 60 volumes of poetry and was named poet laureate of New York state while teaching at the State University of New York at Buffalo, died at the age of 78. Creeley was associated with the Beat Generation and the Black Mountain school of anti-academic poetic writing.
