The Celebrity Death Pool 2006

I have a gut feeling I had Pitney, but my list is at home, and I forget what page the recap sheet is on…

All righty then. Enough fooling around. To the best of my knowledge our scoreboard stands as follows:

In second place with 161 points is Sean Factotum, who is the only player with five dead celebrities.

In third place is Santos L Halper with 129 points.

Congratulations, scorers!

Geez, I can’t believe that not one of my picks has died yet. I had five deaders last year, this time around pfffffft!!!

Hey a35362, I had Dana Reeves too! Ya owe me some points!
56 of 'em, but who’s counting? No pressure. Now please.
:smiley:

I’m feeling like such a loser. Geez, four months in and I’ve created a race of immortals.

you and me, both, swampy. And I purposely picked folks in their 80s and 90s. (I was going for the quantity prize)

Henry Farrell, the writer whose novel Whatever Happened to Baby Jane? and short story Hush … Hush, Sweet Charlotte were both made into Bette Davis films, has died at the age of 85.

Woo hoo! this is the first time I’ve done well enough to have even the tiniest shot at winning. Problem is, I’d need 40 points to make it to first, and all of my remaining candidates is in their 70s or older, with one exception.

C’mon Osama, you’re my only hope. :slight_smile:

Dan Curtis, the creator of Dark Shadows, died on March 27, 2006 of a brain tumor.

You 2 are pikers. I am using the same list I originally picked for 2004. :stuck_out_tongue:

I am hoping that Saddam and Osama will kill themselves in some kind of glory hole massacre and I get to score, but everyone wins.

A gal can dream, can’t she?

Reach for the stars, Shirley! :smiley:

And so I do!

sneezy5660 shoulders me aside at 11th place with 75 points.

Oh, and nobody picked either Dan Curtis or Henry Farrell.

Goal #1 acheived. :slight_smile:

Well damn! Apparently I’m even a rotten virgin loser to boot. Oh the shame of it all!!!

Maggie Dixon, who last month coached Army’s women’s basketball team to a Patriot League championship and NCAA tournament berth to cap her only season at West Point, has died at the age of 28. Maggie, the sister of Pitt men’s hoops coach Jamie Dixon, suffered an arrythmia heart episode Wednesday before passing away yesterday.

Nobody picked her. Twenty-eight? Jeez. :frowning:

For some reason I feel compelled to tell everyone that Haley Joel Osment turns 18 today, and so will be eligible for next year’s Death Pool. (Nobody picked him this year.)

Carry on.

Indeed he does!
