I want my tombstone to read ‘PARTICIPANT’
I will settle for “zero points”.
I hear ya. My “valentine’s day massacre” failed to bring me a morbid wealth of points, so I’m now hoping for a glorious Ides of March. Wheeee! It’s a festival of fun on the death pool!
I meant that my death would score zero points to anyone who might have chosen me.
I got it. Personally, I am hoping for negative points. 
Mosi tatupo football player dead at 54.
Michael Blosil, Marie Osmond’s son, apparently via self-inflicted means.
George Strickland, an infielder who spent most of his Major League Baseball career with the Cleveland Indians, has died at the age of 84. After his playing days ended, Strickland spent several years on the Indians’ coaching staff, and served two stints as interim manager.
How many of us wouldn’t kill ourselves if we were Marie Osmond’s love child?
:smack: Right. over 100. Fine for you. Personally, I’m looking for quality, not quantity of life. (Good thing I set my standards so freaking low).
I don’t think they are mutually exclusive.
I only want to live as long as my friends do - it’d be lonely without them
Linky does not work.
I am wondering what is the meaning of his last name. Schillebeeckx. It’s just so different. Any Furren dopers know?
oops: Edward Schillebeeckx obituary | Catholicism | The Guardian
Learn all about him… indeed a name worth seeing, but not sure how to say it.
Unless it’s Welsh and thus pronounced “Shelby.”
Wow – are all Welsh words pronounced “Shelby”?
Google suggests the name is pronounced SKIL - uh- bakes.
