Annie, You’ve given up on the Bush Family Massacre?
I have pages and pages of names jotted down over the years of potential pointage. Now I have to decide who is worthy of being placed on my 2010 list.
I love this time of year!!

Cue Christmas music.

It was only funny when Dubya was in office (though I did keep Barbara Bush on my 2010 list). Plus, I think Daddy sold his soul to someone for his family’s immortality.

I suppose I should clarify - I mean Barbara Bush the Elder, wife of GHWBush

Paul Dooley
Kirk Douglas
Mickey Rooney
Ian Abercrombie
Dick Cheney
Sumner Redstone
Andy Rooney
Morley Safer
Fionnula Flanagan
Mary Beth Peil
Frances Sternhagen
Sidney Lumet
Peter Bogdanovich

I can’t find my “Pancreatic Cancer List”, OK? I need some time here…

Sheesh.
:slight_smile:

Huh…that time of year again. While it wasn’t stellar, thanks to Mr. Swayze I didn’t goose egg my rookie year. So, here’s hoping I don’t suffer a “sophomore slump” (I’m looking at you, Hef…):
Blake Edwards
Tiger Woods
Mackenzie Phillips
Eddie Van Halen
Amy Winehouse
Kerry Livgren
Florence Henderson
Hugh Hefner
Al Roker
Charlie Watts
Christopher Lee
Steve Jobs
Roger Ebert

Alternates:
Carrie Fisher
Melvin Van Peebles
Morgan Freeman
Kind of a random mix of low-hanging fruit (Edwards, Hef), troubled Celebs (Tiger, Amy), sick Celebs (Jobs, Ebert) and just a couple of random picks (Roker, Livgren)

For those Dopers under 30, Livgren was one of the founders and prime movers of the band Kansas

**Amarone **- you should have a mod fix up your boilerplate rules:

Here’s my list:

Steve Jobs
Roger Ebert
Amy Winehouse
Andy Rooney
Muhammed Ali
Darrell Royal
Billy Graham
Jimmy Carter
Fidel Castro
Phyllis Diller
Peaches Geldof
Betty Ford
Andrew Lloyd Webber

Stephanie Pratt

Willie Mays

OK, so last year’s list needs just a little dusting. And a replacement for Ted Kennedy.
