The Celebrity Death Pool 2010

What an awesome way to start a MONDAY, hearing this news!

SQUEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!

Surely,you cant be serious.

Damn, I like Forbidden Planet. :frowning:

Irving Kershner - director of Empire Strike Back, among other films has passed at 87 :frowning:

Wow, that’s sad. I wish he had directed at least one of the prequels.

Years I have waited to hear those words! And yet…rats. Leslie Nielsen is dead. :frowning:

Crap. I have a little bit over 32 days left for my list to die out. It’s not looking good.

Come on people! The clock is ticking!!

My amended list is all relatively young people, so I’m hoping for maybe a meteor to crash into LA on Christmas day or something … then I’ll clean up. In the meantime, I think if I’d have stuck to my original list (which I leached by picking the first 13 posters’ number 1 picks) I’d probably be at the top of the pack by now.

My original list:

O. J. Simpson
Muhammed Ali
Russell Johnson
Pat Burns
Kurt Angle
Seve Ballesteros
Dennis Hopper
Vernon Baker
Lindsay Lohan
Tony Curtis
Connie Newton Needham
Ronnie Biggs
Ernest Borgnine
(did I miss bolding any corpses?)

My --look how clever I am-- list:

Verne Troyer
Phil Ivey
Mark-Paul Gosselaar
Joe Francis
Wes Welker
Alanis Morissette
Forrest Griffin
Tempestt Bledsoe
Scott Speedman
Zach Galifianakis
Coco Crisp
Jared Fogle
Barack Obama

Jack, if that’s your 2011 list, the new game doesn’t open until Wednesday

No, I was just comparing what I originally picked for this year to what I changed to … to illustrate my talents at this game.

fixed it for you. :stuck_out_tongue:

Thanks. I hate it when my obvious sarcasm is broken.

Yeah, and we’ll have a new thread for it.

Classic Police Squad endings

Director of “The Empire Strikes Back” - Irvin Kershner - dead at age 87.

Italian director, Mario Monicelli kills his cancer before it can kill him.

No. That’s not true! That’s impossible!

Someone should have told us this earlier!

:smiley:

Best Police Squad Scene, the key store.

I’ll get you and your little key store!

I feel like an Idiot for walking right into the woosh factory that was the “Surely” joke. But I figured that this group would not pull that joke with Leslie. So I felt that I could confirm.

But then again, I guess jokes made about any one’s demise is a forgone conclusion and is price of admission into the 'pool.

Did you even see this post and the ones that followed?
