The Celebrity Death Pool 2005

I had Pope John Paul II and William H. Rehnquist

I am pretty sure I had Renquist too.

I had him too. The remaining 11 seem to be doing well. Time to break out the Voodoo dolls.

No, I mentioned the liberalism & activism.

:smiley:

Comedian and British TV personality Ronnie Barker is dead at 76.

Nipsey Russell died yesterday.

:frowning: But you apologized. Please let’s move on!
:smiley:

Remarkably, he was dead on Page 19 , too.

In other news, Generalissimo Francisco Franco is still dead.

Nipsey Russell! He was still alive?

The oods that anyone had him are slim-to-nil, but former Governor of Wyoming/Secretary of the Interior Stanley K. Hathaway has passed on.

Some further updating… My apologies to these scorers for not getting these the first time:

Carm6773
Santos L Halper
Shirley Ujest
and
The Vorlon add 20 points for William H. Rehnquist.

Long Time First Time adds 18 points for Hank Stram, a unique pick.

Updated scoreboard still to come, tomorrow I hope.

And nobody picked either Ronnie Barker or Stanley K. Hathaway.

Anyone realize Hamilton Camp died a few days ago? Not the most stellar celebrity but someone just might have chosen him for 2005.

Yup. I feel your pain. :stuck_out_tongue:

First year, still a virgin… I think I’ll be making some more astute choices for next year…

I can’t believe Don Knotts is still hanging in there…

I’m with you too.

Another “zero-pointer” here. (Although last year I had one “hit” with Ronald Reagan). So far, my choices seem to grant the celebrities a sudden attack of good health.

Two more dead notables, although I doubt anyone picked either of them:

  1. Former Ugandan leader Milton Obote

  2. Comedian Louis Nye

As of the 13th of October to the best of my knowledge, our scoreboard stands as follows:
