The Celebrity Death Pool 2008

Ben Chapman is dead. He is best remembered for his title role in Creature from the Black Lagoon.

Hmm, is there an echo in here? :slight_smile:

William F. Buckley Jr. dies at 82

Car customizer Boyd Coddington has died at the age of 63.

As correctly predicted by anyrose, mikeargo, and Andrew 21.

Terrible Towels are at half-staff today…

Steelers’ former radio announcer Myron Cope dies at 79.

and I’ve already scored more than the last two complete years! :smiley:

Sad to hear this. WFB was one of my favorite conservatives. I rarely agreed with him, but he made me think. I’ll take the 18 points, though.

I, too, rarely agreed with him, but he always indirectly made me laugh because I could never hear his name without recalling an Lily Tomlin/Ernestine the Operator sketch from Laugh-In -
She’d say “Is this the party to whom I am speaking? Mister Fuhbuckley?”

Drummer Buddy Miles has died.

Damnit…80 points I had considered playing are now gone.

Famously paralyzed high school football player (and Friday Night Lights inspiration) David Edwards, dead at 20.

Quadraplegic Mike Smith of the Dave Clark Five passed away this afternoon at the age of 64

I didn’t realize SDMBDP08 has been moved to The Game Room.
YAY for finding it !

:slight_smile:

The body of supermodel Katoucha Niane has been found in the Seine River

Two months in and I’m still at the big goose egg. Heh. This my third year. The past two years, I have scored exactly seven points both times. Will I match my oh so unspectacular performance three years in a row?

Stay tuned deathpoolers… it promises to be yet another deathpooler loser cliffhanger! :smiley:

Actually 36=.
