The Celebrity Death Pool 2010

From the “I thought he was dead already” file, veteran newsman Edwin Newman.

Voice of Rudolph the Red-nosed Reindeer dies at 88.

A cult that you’ve never heard of has left to meet Jesus. or something.

Leonard Skinner, inspiration of the band name Lynyrd Skynyrd, dies in his sleep at age 77.

Jesus apparently sent them back.

when I read that a cult had died it took me back to this entry from Rachm Qoch from last years death pool.

Yes! I have to admit I was hoping our resident reaper had gotten them after all.

Pro football player Kenny McKinley, apparently by suicide. 23 years old, and presumably on nobody’s list.

Another tragic loss of 77 points.

I thought he did some cult for this year in the ballsiest move evar.

Should I even bother to ask if you neglected a comma here?

I don’t get it.

IIRC it was on the order of " That’s a terrible loss of 77 points. "

Is that read as a terrible loss of points, or as a terrible loss of life?

The answer should be obvious, shouldn’t it? If you can’t be crass and morbid in this thread, where can you be?

Right. So where would the comma be missing? It’s is a tragic loss of points…uh, and life.

betwixt loss and of.

a,n,o,t,h,e,r, t,r,a,g,i,c, l,o,s,s, o,f, 7,7, p,o,i,n,t,s,

Nah. Commas don’t help at all.

Should I even bother to ask if God neglected a coma here? :smiley:

If the Almighty bothered to strike down all online idiots, there would be no one to complain about. I’m filling a niche here. I have value!

Another ambigious statement I’m leery about evaluating.

For my part, I just saw the word play there and took it.
