Former major league baseball player Clete Boyer has died.
Looks like Castro is feeling much better. <sigh> I’m never gonna get any points!
By the by…any chance of a midseason update, a35362? It looks like the last one was on February 10th, and I’d love to see how things have changed since then.
Geez, Louise, has it been that long? Yes, I will get to work on it.
Yes it has. We’ve been watching you.
I have a feeling that everyone on my list will live a long (and happy?) life for the rest of this year at least. Well maybe not Tammy Faye…
I’m beginning to wonder if she’s in on the Kieth Richards chemical immortality plan…

Congratulations, scorers!
Edwin Traisman, who helped develop Cheez Whiz before creating a French fry-freezing process for McDonald’s, has died at the age of 91.
Woo! I have the least amount of points of anyone who’s actually on the board!
Truly one of the greats amongst us has passed into the great beyond! 
And… Madonna and I remain like a virgin [sub]as of yet[/sub] touched for the very first time.
WOOOOOO!! Top Five, baby!! Everyone who isn’t Rachm Qoch, Zog_10, amarone or CowPatty – neener!!
<proceeds to do a most ungracious dance (in every sense of the word), complete with “who’s your daddy” hip thrusting, the worm, and shirt helicoptoring…kind of a “don’t want to watch but can’t turn away” car wreck kind of thing>
Boy, you ain’t kiddin’.
I had no idea that Roscoe Lee Brown died. Bummer.
Yippee I’m in 19th place!
Which is even less impressive than it sounds. But at least I’m on the board for the first time. “Neener neener neerer” to you virgins.
See, I’m not even a virgin. I just haven’t “gotten any” this year yet. Surfing the Internet for dead celebrities and imagining they’re on my list helps get me throught the weeks okay, but it just isn’t as satisfying as the real thing.
Exactly. Lou Rawls popped my Death Pool cherry last year. I’m not a virgin, I’m just in a period of involuntary Death Pool celibacy.
Nor did I. I thought he was great in A Connecticutt Yankee In King Arthur’s Court. As as ‘Box’ and ‘Benson’.
Same here. My first was in 2003, just been a dry spell since.
