The Celebrity Death Pool 2006

Do I make you nervous? :slight_smile:

There’s a sentence you don’t see everyday!

Well, I’m not on your list, so, no.

I’m just wondering if the people left on your list should be nervous.
:wink:

If it weren’t fer the Pope, I’d never pop my DP cherry.

If I hadn’t jumped on the Lou Rawls bandwagon palooza, I’d still a virgin this year.

Red Buttons has died, according to CNN.

Here’s confirmation of the death of Red Buttons at 87.

[del]Yay, busted my cherry with a unique pick![/del] The world has lost a legend of comedy.

my dad knew him when he was just starting out in the Borscht Belt (my dad was a waiter at one of the resorts and they hung out)

Not only are all of my picks still alive, most seem to be getting healthier. Do I get a special award for that?

Red Buttons was still alive until recently? I thought he bought the farm years ago.

He had a recurring part on ER, as recently as 2005.

You’re the “Angel of Life.”

Maybe we should start the “Celebrity Lifepool.” You pick 13 celebrities , & get their age in points for whoever is still alive at the end of the year.

Keith Richards would be automatically disqualified.

I haven’t watched ER since 1998. I was really surprised it was still on the air when I was up that late not so long ago.

And Steven Hawkings.

I think this is a fun idea too. Cause it would be guaranteed that most would drop like flies once their name was put to paper.
I’ve long tried to figure out how to do a Married/Divorced pool of Celebrities, but my brain hasn’t figured out the scoring system as of yet.

Is Thurmon Munson still alive?

If you mean Thurman Munson, he’s been dead since 1979.
