The Celebrity Death Pool 2008

I’m not playing this game but can I suggest:

Paul Gascoigne.

Guys on the way out…fast

Thanks, I’ll put him on my short list for '09

Eddie Brinkman…Former MLB shortstop for Senators and Tigers and other teams…dead at 66

Famous for saying the F-Bomb on TV

RIP…I saw you play at RFK Stadium against the Yankees in the late 60’s

Apparently some sickos are playing a game on the Internet where they bet on the time of his death. Can you believe it?

Apparently many of us who signed up are not playing this games.:rolleyes:

If I were you I’d put him on your list for this year

I for one, am not satisfied with the appalling paucity of shocking, tragic young celebrity deaths. Paul Newman? Booooring! I want a young, beautiful, popular celebrity’s brains splattered all over the pavement somewhere, even if I have to do it myself. I demand satisfaction!

Nick Reynolds, founding member and lead singer of the Kingston Trio, dead at 75.

No can do - The lists are locked at midnight Dec 31st each year (please read the OP) - But you can certainly start collecting names for next year - the new thread will open on December 1st.

Don’t do it, you’ll be disqualified.

Well, we have until March, so that we get a good Harvest.

I can’t remember if he was on my list this year or not, but Vice Vukov has died.

Vice Vukov has helped me out!
Woooo!
28 sweet, sweet points!

And in September too. I’m not going to redo the September results post, but the effect of Mr. Vukov’s demise was to move you into 15th position.

A trifecta, for those of you who like politicians:

Lord Thomson of Monifieth, Wilson Government minister turned LibDem spokesman, at 87

Jean Foyer, French Cabinet minister of the 1960s and 1970s, also at 87

Saul Laskin, the first Mayor of Thunder Bay, at 90

Is it wrong to be in complete raptures over being vaulted into 15th place?

happy, happy, happy DANCE!

No more wrong than it is to be pissed off about being knocked down from 18th place.

Hey, compared to our fearless Dead People Picker, Rahm Qoch whatever we are all Bridesmaids at this Macabre Wedding, my friend. So buck up, suck up and put on your hideous satin gown! :slight_smile:

And you call them sickos?

Warrabout you guys playing this game?

Wait…I could be whooooooshed here:confused:

I would say “Get a life” but this is the wrong thread for it.
