AllNew! Not nearly definiative [2006 SDMB Death Pool List!](http://sickslug.com/SDMBDP2006January31.htm) frought with errors and duplications. I know there are some last minute substitutions that I missed. Take a moment to check the list, and if you see an error, email me at my junk mail account. jph\_mac (insert the ‘at’ symbol) hotmail dot com. Several folks have three already. But **Rachm** is the only one to have three in a row (It would have been more impressive had he started at 1 instead of 6 though) 🙂 ---

> [@anyrose](#): > > great compilation - but you forgot to take out all the **Richard Pryor** s and replace them with those peoples’ alternates Their job is to let me know. It took more time than I wished as it is, and some people resubmitted 5 or six times. It was kind of a mess. But I figure with a little help I can get it pretty close. ---

Looks like nobody had him, but [avant garde artist Nam June Paik](http://msnbc.msn.com/id/11098552/) has died. I’d never even heard of him, cultural imbecile that I am. 😕 ---

> [@anyrose](#): > > I’m still a \>snrk\< virgin… > > am I wrong to think “C’mon you bitches! Die already!” I think so. Hell, it’s only January. I usually don’t start wishing death on people on my list until at least April. ---

I know there are some last minute substitutions that I missed. You certainly missed mine. That was my B list, whch I submitted early as a feint. I have a resubmit on the 30th or the 31st that completely replaced that… ---
