The Celebrity Death Pool 2006

The Game Room
301

Well, my first ever foray into this morbidness:

  1. Dustin Hoffman – Actor
  2. Russell Johnson – Gilligan’s Professor
  3. Gloria Henry – Dennis the Menace’s mom
  4. Conrad Janis – (Mork &) Mindy’s dad
  5. Tom Poston – character actor, also from Mork & Mindy
  6. Conrad Bain – Diff’rent Strokes dad
  7. Max Baer Jr. – Jethro from Beverly Hillbillies
  8. Lou Rawls – singer
  9. Harper Lee – author
  10. Estelle Getty – Very Golden Girl
  11. Bea Arthur – Golden Girl
  12. Dick Clark – last Auld Lang Syne?
  13. Don Ho – those shirts would kill anyone

I love this place.

Mr Gata, JUMP

303

I woke up at 6am today and my first thought was, " I wonder who has died."
I can’t wait to see who wins Opening Kickoff.

304

Damn! I was just four days away from winning the Opening Kickoff Award.

My number one pick for **2006 ** (see Page 1, post #28) **had the nerve ** to die on December 28, 2005! :smack:

So, in place of Patrick Crenshaw, please promote my first alternate, Kurt Vonnegut, Jr.

And do I recall a debate earlier on in this thread about the utility of naming alternates? :slight_smile:

305

Correct.

306

after watching Dick Clark last night, I am sure I made a mistake omitting him from my list…

307

I didn’t see Rachm Qoch post a list.

308

For Baker.

309

NNNNOOOOOOOOOooooooooooooooooooo…:eek:

I FORGOT TO ENTER MY DEATHPOOL LIST! NNOOOOOOOOO!!! :smack: NOOO!

I’m going to plead for mercy from the deathpool court and request a one-day late entry allowance based on the following mitigating factor: I got engaged yesterday! Yaaay!

I woke up in the morning and thought, man…I have to remember to enter my deathpool list. That was the last time the thought entered my little mind because I was somewhat preoccupied with the whole giving a ring to my girlfriend thing. So if it pleases the court, this would have been my list:

  1. Elizabeth Taylor
  2. Anna Nicole Smith (this year is her year!)
  3. Pete Doherty (if anyone OD’s, it’ll be him)
  4. Dana Reeves (Christopher Reeve’s widow)
  5. President Gerald Ford (easy money, baby…)
  6. Jerry Lewis
  7. Micheal Jackson (long shot…but mebbe)
  8. Zsa Zsa Gabor (more easy money)
  9. Dick Clark
  10. Billy Graham
  11. Former U.S. Rep. Geraldine Ferraro
  12. El Cubano Fidel Castro
  13. Queen Elizabeth II

To my knowledge, there are still no points on the board and none of these folks is any acutely closer to dying than they were 15 hours ago. My first year out was so much fun I won’t be able to enjoy this year without a DeathPool list! My Fiance (she said yes, thank FSM) says pleaaaasseeee… :smiley:

310

I’ll be expecting thank you cards from all you folks for installing that bandwagon so early in the month.

:smack:

311

Hi, how is everyone doing?

Anyone dead yet? :smiley:

312

Richard DeAngelis has died. I’m not sure whether anyone had him.

313

Well, it would help if I posted his death in the proper year. Teach me to try and post something first without reading the whole thing first. :smack:

314

No, I’m just pining.

315

Nemo! quit teasin’ us!
I rushed in here to see who popped their DP cherry.

316

I say, for as many deaths as we can, we use the parrot euphamisms as the thread/post titles (at least within the Death Pool thread, because in threads of their own, it may seem tacky and/or offensive)

317

I would suggest you not google the phrase “DP cherry” :eek: :eek: :eek:

318

*Can’t…catch…breath…

*Laughter…Tears…streaming down face…

319

Try not to use phrases like “DP cherry” and “streaming down face” in the same post. It confuses the Google monitor.

This really is a sick, morbid game. I logged onto my horse-related message board and saw the sad news that Danzig, one of thoroughbred racing’s top sires died, at 29.

My first thought was, “Oh, I didn’t even think of picking him for the Celebrity Death Pool.” Of course, then I remembered he was a horse, and horses don’t count. And I could have never picked a great horse like Danzig to die, that would just be plain wrong. But I didn’t have trouble picking 13 people to “ride into the sunset.”

I am now wondering if I might be going to hell for participating in this game. :eek:
