Rachm Qoch!

cheers, applause, confetti, balloons, stamping, clapping

…with a record-breaking 202 points and seven, count 'em, seven dead celebrities!!

Women blow kisses, then faint. Men haul him up on their shoulders and parade him around the room. A chorus of “For He’s a Jolly Good Fellow” is sung.

I say – well done, old man!

And a big round of applause for **a35362 **

Crap! I was in the top 20 until Richard Pryor went!

:mad:

I’m so excited! My first Death Pool and I made the top 10.

Another big thanks for doing this for us, a35362. It’s great fun!

First DP and I got 15th place! Not too bad…

BTW, did Rachm Qoch enter the 2006 DP?

Yes.

I was once as high as 13th place, but finished in 22nd. Damn you, Richard Pryor. But five of my picks met their demise, not too bad.

31 points is the bestest number of points. Not so high that I am a freaky freak, and not so low that I just look dum. Dumn. Dume.

Damn.

:smiley:

Yay sis!

Top ten! Woohoo!

(I was top three for a while, so I shake my fist at 1-8)

The deaths from last year are still trickling in…

No one had these two on their list, but I feel the deaths should be mentioned anyway.

Exotic dancer and friend of Jack Ruby Candy Barr died last Friday, December 30.

Reporter Neil Strawser, who anchored CBS radio during and after JFK’s assassination, died Saturday, December 31.
