The Celebrity Death Pool 2005

Well it was just a thought. If people like the way this is going then that’s cool with me.

And hey what do you know? I scored today. Wendie Jo Sperber has died.

Me too.

Former MLB 1B Vic Power is dead at 78

Point of order: It’s December 1st. Shouldn’t the Celebrity Death Pool 2K6 be posted by now?

Yes.

Well, as we head into the homestretch for the 2005 game, there are some interesting late-breaking developments. With the deaths of George Best (41 points), Pat Morita (27 points), and Wendie Jo Sperber (53 points), our scoreboard stands as follows…

Leaping ahead into a comfortable second place spot is amarone with 148 points.

And making a come-from-behind late surge into third place is last year’s champion, Captain Lanch Murdoch, with 116 points. He has a unique pick with Wendie Jo Sperber.

Congratulations, scorers!

Whew! Thanks for all that work, sweetie!

Now, somebody do me a favor and kill al-Zarqawi dead so I can score mucho points. And, you know, for justice and all that.

Okay, I’ve accepted the fact that I’m not going to win again this year. But I could still at least break out of the pack and make the top twelve if Kim Jong-Il would work with me. C’mon, Kim, would it kill you to die? Other than literally I mean?

Australian businessman and cleaning product identity Kevin “Big Kev” McQuay has died, aged 56.

That marks my first ever use of the phrase “cleaning product identity”.

No one picked her, but writer Mary Hayley Bell died on December 1st.

TOP 10! WOO-HOO!

Holy ALW! Ms. Bell wrote the original novel “Whistle Down the Wind,” and her daughter Hayley Mills starred in the original movie.

Annie-Xmas, who took her name from the musical is very, very sad!

Gregg Hoffman, producer of the horror film Saw II, has passed away at the age of 42. After complaining of neck pain and being admitted to Hollywood Presbyterian Hospital, Hoffman died Sunday of natural causes.

Nobody picked Kevin McQuay, Mary Hayley Bell, or Gregg Hoffman.

In an unprecedented occurrence, a rapper has died young. Steve Zorn died from playing solitaire with a loaded pen-gun, whatever the hell that is.

He died of natural causes, yet an autopsy is planned? Fucked up neck is Natural causes these days? I suppose so is lightning strikes. Or the effects of gravity and sudden deceleration, those are two things found often in the natural world. And how about momentum? Momentum is a natural state, and it’s influence on the flight path of a bullet could be seen as nutural then, right?

Neck pain and natural causes sounds like meningitis to me. He’s awfully young to die of natural causes with no real reason given.

Well, 14th place isn’t too bad for my first time!

Former Governor of South Carolina Carroll Campbell is dead at 65, after years of fighting Alzheimer’s

Heart attack can cause neck pain and nothing else.

When my husband had his heart attack, he got a headache. He’s weird.
