The Celebrity Death Pool 2006

Actor Darren McGavin has died at 83

I feel kinda sad and guilty that I lost my D.P. cherry to Don Knotts. Then again, woo-hoo, 19 points.

Drivin’ the bus to hell, I am. Who wants shotgun?

My cousin called to see if I knew about Don Knotts’ passing. I said “yeah, but I didn’t have him in the pool” she insisted I explain what I meant and was then very sorry she had. :smiley:
According to her we are all very sick. “And your point is…?”

And to think I almost put him on my list. Sigh. I just ain’t good at this celebrity killin’ stuff I guess. Oh wait… shouldn’t that be a good thing?

Looks like that damn semi finally caught up to Dennis Weaver.

Link.

Also, sci-fi author Octavia Butler has died.

:eek: After Don Knotts and Darrin McGavin, I commented to my husband that another ‘big’ celebrity would be dying very soon. He asked why, and I said they always die in threes.

I had Darren McGavin on my list. That’s three down of my 13 in two months. Look out, Fyvush Finkel!

Not only that, check this out:

Don Knotts was in Hot Lead and Cold Feet (1978) with Darren McGavin.
Darren McGavin was in Billy Madison (1995) with Steve Buscemi.
Steve Buscemi was in Home on the Range (2004) with… Dennis Weaver.

Steve Buscemi is next!

Well, Dennis cut if front of Steve, so Steve got pissed off and went home; damned if he’ll die out of turn!

You’re gonna be really sorry if Steve Buscemi dies tomorrow!

Yeah, he’s not on my list !!! :eek:

The question though is… who else has a first name that starts with a D?

:eek:

David Letterman

And I’m finally on the board, with 17 points.

Don Ho is on a lot of lists (mine included).

Yes, but the world would be such a better place without Donald Wildmon (and my total would go up, as a bonus).

Dan Folgelberg. He’s on my list. :eek: :smiley:

Bite your tongue! I love Dave!

Robert L. Scott, who shot down 22 Japanese planes during World War II and then gained additional fame by writing the book God Is My Co-Pilot, has died at the age of 97. In recent years, Scott had lived in Georgia and served as fundraising chairman and unofficial “piece of living history” at the Museum of Aviation in Warner Robins.
