I actually had him one of the years I’ve been doing this. But, alas, not this year.
Taco Bell ad star Gidget the Chihuahua dies at 15:
Gidget the dog is dead.
Viva Gorditas!
That was one one of my favorite commercials.
So do you get calendar year points or dog year points?
Neither. The rules state the celeb must be human.
OTOH, 7 X 15 is 105, you’d score -5 for this pick…
Aw. I loved Peter and Gordon back in the day. Funny how hearing a song like World Without Love or Knight in Rusty Armour can bring back a flood of nostalgia.
As this is the second time on this page that the subject has come up, I score picks aged over 100 as zero points, but one correct pick. Hence 42fish shows in the list as having 0 points but 1 pick and is placed one position above all the DPVs with 0, 0.
Uh, well, I wasn’t trying to make a serious point, seein’ as though it was a dog…
I know, but as it has come up twice twice, and the previous occasion was about a person, I thought I would provide the answer.
Harry Patch, who had been the last surviving British army veteran of World War I combat, has died at the age of 111. Patch had been wounded in the battle of Passchendaele while serving with the Duke of Cornwall’s Light Infantry in Belgium. After returning to England, he worked as a plumber. He outlived three wives as well as his two sons.
Great Porn name
It sounds like a very British Army name to me. I can just imagine Colour-Sergeant Bourne calling his name in the roll at the end of Zulu.

Alexis was one of the goofball rejects who went apeshit when she was rejected by the judges at the auditions.
July has been a bad month for boxers; Alexis Arguello, Arturo Gatti, and now Vernon Forrest.
You know, if she was only *half *as fucked up as she seemed on the show, it wasn’t going to be such a great life anyway.
Novelist E. Lynn Harris dead at 54.
Ronnie Biggs just may be circling the drain.
not that he was famous outside the New York theatre design world, but one of my college professors just passed away. 
(he does have a museum collection named for him)
