You do realize that at future meetings of the SDMB Celebrity Death Pool Society Colloquium that you’ll have to say you lost your cherry to Jerry Falwell?

I’m just glad it wasn’t Fred Phelps. Six more religious leaders and I’m golden.
I’d like to thank Gerald Ford for dying in late 2006, cuz Jerry was my alternate! Woohoo!
I mean, I’m sorry Gerald Ford passed away. Falwell can rot.

Thanks for that info. I hadn’t known about that. I knew they had been down for a bit after the VA Tech shootings, but thought they had been back up.
I had also wondered how folks who had flags knew when there was a special order to fly them half-mast, your site answered that for me as well.
The things you learn here…even in Celebrity Death Pool!
Wow! My first one. I’m excited. I join the the ~12 of you in excellent choosing.

I’m hoping for JD Salinger and Harper Lee to bite the big one for a two-fer.
I’m starting to worry. I didn’t do any gimme’s this year.
Heck, everyone on my list is over 85, and they’re all doing fine, thank you very much.
All I know is, next year I’m putting my own name on my list, and cancelling my life insurance.
