The Celebrity Death Pool 2010

Welcome. crispijaxx. Entries for the 2010 thread are closed, and the 2011 game begins December 1. In the meantime, though, feel free to stick around and contribute news of recent and impending deaths, as well as banter such as that occasioned by the recent Coleman and Hopper demises.

ETA: GIGObuster wrote a shorter post, and thus nosed me out!

Pretty decent list, though.

Nice list, but you need to put it in the correct format, too… (No notes, and watch out for that space after the number. I have to get onto the Feuders for that, sometimes.)

Death Pool lists can’t have numbers either.

crispijaxx, they’re not being mean or angry - just on auto pilot. Please stick around and at least join in the snarks

Wow, this is the first I’d heard about Gary Coleman. He was only a couple of years younger than I am and my brother and I watched Diff’rent Strokes faithfully (for a while, not all the way to the end), and I remember how remarkable he was back in those days. I remember how another network created Webster with Emmanuel Lewis to try to pick up on that success. I remember going to the movies with my brother and seeing a poster for a movie which I think was On the Right Track from 1981 (all I remember was “Gary Coleman” and “horseracing”) and also around that time hearing somebody on the radio joking about him to the effect of, “Gary Coleman? Isn’t he, like, 40 or something?” because he was such a spookily-talented, hugely successful child star.

Of course I was sad but not surprised to hear that his career fizzled as an adult; I was sorry to hear that his money was lost (obscenely unfair; you’d think that if he wasn’t going to be working as an actor as an adult, then at least he’d never have to worry about money); that while he seemed to be rather depressed and angry as an adult, at least he seemed to be able to keep from going the way of his young co-stars.

I didn’t realize he was having health problems. And now he’s gone. Rest in peace, Gary. Thanks. :frowning:

Here is my list

  1. Keith Richards
  2. Bret Michaels
  3. Pete Doherty
  4. Penny Marshall
  5. Jeff Conaway
  6. Whitney Houston
  7. Betty White
  8. Burt Reynolds
  9. Hugh Hefner
    10.Bob Barker
    11.Kirk Douglas
    12.Phyllis Diller
    13.Lindsay Lohan

Alternates

  1. Barbara Walters
  2. Lou Gossett Jr.
  3. Muhammad Ali

What do ya think?

It’s a good list, but the next game doesn’t start until December 1st. Some of them might not make it until then.

Although, I do love his Number 7.

:frowning:
:smiley:

Apparently, I’m missing the bigger picture here. I feel that bigger picture makes this ““game”” even less fun than it is.

I’ve just had a very evil thought.
What if Lindsey Lohan and Keith Richards had a baby together? That kid would have superpowers x10 and be unkillable.
Just a thought.

And his or her name would be Ariel Sharon :stuck_out_tongue:

I had to read this post three times. I kept reading the final word as “unlikable.”

Temptations singer Ali-Ollie Woodson dies at 58

AQ has announced that they will keep the Coleman character.

Andrew Koppel, 40 year old son of Ted, found dead. Interesting, if macabre, story. Perfect for the Deathpool

After a very quiet April, lots more shuffling off in May. Departees were:

Hey! I thought I got credit for at least having a right name, even if Lt. Finn wasn’t worth any points. I’m no longer a no hit lister!

Heh! I didn’t even check whether anyone had him, thinking nobody would choose someone who was so old. Yes, I now see that you mentioned that you had him, but in a very small font and my eyes ain’t as young as they used to be.

So here you go:

Thanks, amarone!

Pardon me, Amarone, but I don’t see Twickster on your list.
