Has the Deathpool ever tied for first place?
I’m *so *glad I wasn’t the only one to get up and walk across the room to the TV to get a better look at him.
That too.
I do think that is anyone over 100 dies of anything other than natural causes, you should get some points as a bonus.
however, iDeath.com is already registered… just sayin…
I am feeling guilty about how much I am enjoying actually participating this year. I had no shame in jumping on a good bandwagon. Woo! More points from Zelda!
Considering that CBC Radio (re)played an interview with Paul Quarrington about his impending demise a few days before New Years I am surprised that no other Canadians jumped on that bandwagon (Although to assuage my guilt over my initial glee at his death I have bought a number of his books) But why didn’t CBC do a similar show about Kate McGarrigle? … another pointless Canadian death. I initially wanted to do an all Canadian list, but we Canucks are much quieter about our health/impending death it seems.
And I too was disappointed that the iPad coverage didn’t include a health update.
J D Salinger will catch no more rye…
9 points for Mean Mr. Mustard and Rilchiam.
I wonder if they’ll publish any of the novels he has allegedly written over the past decades.
Huh…you could’ve bet me a sizable sum that he died at least 10 years ago.
Of course not, but has that ever stopped any of use before? 
Same here. But it is not like he has exactly been burning up the talk show circuits promoting his newest books.
Always thought the book was overrated. But check out this slice from the obit:
In 2000, daughter Margaret Salinger’s Dreamcatcher portrayed the writer as an unpleasant recluse who drank his own urine and spoke in tongues.
Man, I can’t stop laughing! I’ve just gained new insights into the book every high school kid was forced to read. hahahaha!
There might be something to be said for such a regimen. After all, he did live to be 91.
I’d be willing to die at 88 if I can skip the urine drinking and just do the speaking in tongues.
Thanks for the points, Jerome David; I’ll eat a piece of rye bread in your honor.
I’m honored to be paired with MMrM!
“live” seems too strong a word for old J. D. He managed to exist until 91, and
even that is filled with some speculation. Howard Hughes being another such
weird, lonely, urine sipper known not so much for his achievements but for his
insanity. Once the English teachers who fell in love with Catcher all croak, he
will be entirely forgotten.
Or is there a movie in the works? Gosh, I sure hope Orlando Bloom plays Holden!!
Blech!!! What a horrible idea in a variety of ways!
When I turned 100, I plan to snort coke and then parachute out of a plane into a lake full of alligators before heading out for my tax audit.
Keep us updated, O.K.?
