The Celebrity Death Pool 2008

With a unique pick, and entering the points-scoring list in joint 49th position.

Really? He was a unique pick? A first for me.

That’s the advantage of picking Fidel Castro, Robert Mugabe, and Than Shwe - I can openly cheer them on without feeling like a sleaze.

C’mon guys, 2008 is your year! Don’t fear the reaper!

64% of the celebrities chosen are unique picks, as are 42% of those that have died so far this year.

For some reason, I want to get unique picks even more than big points. Not that you could tell it by my list…I was weak and actually tried to do some research this time.

Congrats!
I am still a DP Virgin and we are into June.
Makes me wistful for the Lou Rawls Orgypalooza.

Algis Budrys author of over 200 science fiction stories and novels has died at 77.

Tyrone Jones former pro football player. Of brain cancer. Age 46.

Sad.

But 54 points for me!

And for me.

And a move up to 3rd place. The third person to have Tyrone Jones is Captain Lance Murdoch who is now only 2 points behind Rachm Qoch.

Paul Newman is battling cancer.

I’m hoping he’ll pull through

at least until next year - he’s on my short list

my cousin has officially called me morbidly sick

My list is all members of the Kennedy family.

Just when you thought the Deathpool couldn’t get any sicker…

He’s probably on everyone’s short list now. :stuck_out_tongue:

My SO thinks the whole idea is sick. He has no idea how much fun we have here! I made a comment about getting a Unique Pick with Jim McKay, and he just gave me The Look.

actually, when she heard about Harvey Korman, the first thing she did was call me and ask if he was on my list

And she had the nerve to call you morbidly sick? :smiley:

My husband does this all the time now!

My husband asks me this every time a famous person dies.

Mine, too! :smiley:
