The Celebrity Death Pool 2006

Fixed you and a couple other duplicates that I managed to find VunderBob. And might I just say that I admire that you take the DP so seriously that you issue feints!

I’ve also fixed the ones that were emailed to me. Keep 'em comin folks!

Moira Shearer died. Again, I had no idea she was still alive.

My official list was the 3rd one I posted. I only saw 1 and 2.

Can you give me the post #? I deleted your duplicate first earlier today, but I only saw two.

Well, a month in and already we have an interesting scoreboard, a good “break.”

Congratulations, scorers!

I only have 38 points? Are you sure? Jack Snow and Lou Rawls are both on my list…they died at the ages of 62 and 72 respectively. Total score = (100-62) + (100-72) = 66 points.

Jeezy Loweezy, how’d I miss that? My apologies, ArchitectChore. You are tied with furt for fourth place. Good job!

I could be wrong, but I think spiff is the only one who chose character actor Patrick Cranshaw. He was 86.

But he died in December, yes?

Yes, he died in late December. The nerve!

Anyway, good thing I had a list of alternates … so Kurt Vonnegut Jr moved into the vacant slot left by the untimely death of “Old Blue.”

Paul Clinton of CNN has died. Bummer.

Paul Clinton Linkie poo

Never heard of him, seemed like a nice guy. Smoking is a bitch.

Mennochio should be on the scoreboard with 28 (he had “Lou Rahls”) unless there’s points off for spelling.

I doubt there’s a penalty for faulty spelling.
If I ran things, though…

:smiley:

and I’m as giddy as a school boy…

And a whopping five points to ye :wink:

Frack. That was five points I didn’t want to get…

actor Paul Regina is dead at 49. Worth 51 points if anyone had him.

Sheesh; that’s like equal to 3 Al Lewises!!!

What can I say? I just lost my cherry…
