I’ve had a bet on Billy Boy for the last three years. Will this be the year he’s replaced? 
I heard on the news this morning that Farrah Fawcett’s cancer is back. She’s gone to Germany for some kind of treatment…
I may pop my cherry yet! (But this re-virginity-fying is most disconcerting…) 
Don’t get your hopes up. I’ve had Ariel Sharon since before he went into a coma. It’s been what, 18 months now?
I am pretty sure that with Ariel being on everyone’s death list he has now been given the Keith Richards-Stephen Hawkins-Osama Bin Laden Gift of Life and go on Forever.
I can see it now - instead of asking us to add a loved one to our prayer list, people will be asking us to add them to our death pool list.
But dammit I had him last year before he went into the coma. Of course I had to keep him this year but the bandwagon got very crowded.
Would it be tacky to send a note to Billy thanking him for his wife’s point contribution, and reminding him that it’s not too late for his own?
Do we know who the most popular 2007 DP choices are?

Image if they all died in the same plane crash!
Yahtzee!
Being a popular pick does seem to confer a degree of immortaility. All the top 31 are still alive. The most popular corpse is Art Buchwald, at number 32, picked by 12 dopers. The top 31 accumulated 846 picks.
No kidding! I have 5 of them on my list.
I’m depressed by the realization that I’m having my best year ever in this game and I’m still so far behind Rachm Qoch that eight of the ten remaining people on my list could die and he’d still beat me.
The man obviously has access to a time machine and should be disqualified.
Terry Hoeppner, the NCAA football coach who had guided the Indiana Hoosiers to a 9-14 record over the past two seasons, has died at the age of 59. Hoeppner had been battling a brain tumor and its attendant complications since at least December of 2005.
Vilma Espin Guillois, the wife of Cuba’s current acting president Raul Castro, died Monday at the age of 77. Even while Fidel Castro was firmly grasping the reins of power on the Communist island, Espin was recognized as the “first lady of the Revolution” after helping to found the Federation of Cuban Women.
(a broadway stage full of extras begin to sing) "Vilmita! Vilmita!’
Former Major League closing pitcher Rod Beck is dead at 38.
I don’t really know this poster but I find it extremely odd and creepy that they won last year and are way ahead this year, and did so with a couple unique high-point picks. Could RQ have some inside information? Is RQ, by any chance, a very thin fellow who wears robes, carries a farming implement and an hourglass? Perhaps even rides a horse named Binky?
