Conway or Conaway?
I agree, for what it is worth. Jim Beaver would be a reasonable choice if someone wants to and he’s a member.
Wow, my bad. Yes, I guess Jack Lalane is fine for a switch. Thanks! 
LEX LUGER
Former 270 pound plus wrestling muscleman now a 170 pound crippled mess.
AMY WINEHOUSE
Ticking time bomb.
LEMMY KILMEISTER
Rolling Stone revealed that the 65 year old Motorhead frontman downs a liter of JD a day. That, plus a lifetime of speed abuse can’t be good for the ticker. That or a cheap tour bus accident does him in.
ARTIE LANGE
Lovable Howard Stern sidekick is 300 pound plus heroin addict. What a recipe for disaster.
STEVE O
Jackass stunts + substance abuse=early grave
LYNDON LAROUCHE
Is this nutcase going to finally fucking die already or what?
KIM JONG IL
Based on news out of North Korea, looks like old Eraserhead has one foot in the hole already.
VERNE TROYER
Mini-Casket for Mini-Me.
SUGE KNIGHT
Former Death Row head honcho just keeps making enemies in the hood, including a recent feud with Akon. Someone’s gonna put a cap in his ass in 2010.
PRINCE CHARLES
Rumors abound that Bonnie Prince Charlie might be having health issues.
RONNIE JAMES DIO
At 65 years old and suffering from cancer, we will all soon learn if its Heaven or Hell for the famous rock singer.
PHYLLIS DILLER
The #1 “SHE was still ALIVE???” death of 2010.
ROY HORN
Siegfried and Roy gave their last performance in Feb. for a reason.
ALTERNATES:
- BROCK LESNAR, MMA superstar
- KRIS KRISTOFFERSON, multi talented entertainer
- DON CORYELL, former NFL coach

Alt. 3: Ashley Olson (of the “Olson” twins)…
We shall see…
Can you post a list in plain format please (i.e. a list of just names, and only the initial letters in capitals)?
Substitution time. I’m demoting Maggie Smith to alternate, kicking Ruth Buzzi Ginsberg off altogether, and adding Theresa Heinz Kerry to the magic 13. Changes are bolded.
Connie Newton Needham
Tara Subkoff
Rudy Boesch
Roger Ebert
Adam Yauch
Louis Farrakhan
Penny Marshall
Peter Criss

If I may, a couple of spelling notes:
The guy who played Kenickie in the movie Grease is Jeff Conaway. (Also, when I looked that up, I saw that he has a kid with Olivia Newton-John’s sister. Wow! Furthermore, he seems like a darn good pick for the Death Pool).
The exercise guy is Jack LaLanne. (A good pick also, he used to be one of mine, but I’m hoping for a unique pick this year. Mahaloth took him from me!) :mad:
Well played, Sir.
John Paul Stevens, the senior Associate Justice of the Supreme Court of the United States, was born in 1920. Mr. Justice Thomas has only been around since 1948. Does this affect your choice?
Ok. Let me try this again, now that I see how it is done;
**
Changes have been made. **
List with commentary:
Bill Cosby I like the guy, but I just have a feeling. Cosby was the inspiration for my inquiry thread. I would hate to have him die, but at this point, I would also hate to not have him on my list if he does, I feel screwed either way.
Larry King Actually I don’t think this one needs that much commentary.
John McCain See Above.
Elizabeth Taylor See Above.
Regis PhilbinI feel 2010 will be his final answer.
Bob Barker Like Barker more than Cosby, and CBS has totally screwed with The Price Is Right - and they don’t seem to care. Barker is on his way out, “Bob Barker, come on UP.”
Dick Clark America’s Oldest Teenager, butTeenagers can still die, can’t they?
Rush Limbaugh Something is going to give out on him, in a passive manner.
**Jim Cramer **Something is going to give out on him, in an active manner. Hopefully not while on air. Hopefully not over his sound effects board, or his playthings on his show.
Paula Deen I believe she once made a Krispy Kreme hamburger citing you can only eat one in your lifetime. I wonder what her next like foodstuff will be, and if it will do her in.
Betty White This Golden Girl, if I am correct, is the last Olden Girl. She seems to hang in there.
Ed Asner Both Betty and Ed had stints on Jay Leno near the end of his Tonight Show. I feel they both are one foot in the grave. - Mr.Grant May he not take his life for granted.
Jack Black I believe this Forty year old comic will go the way of Chris Farley. In nearly the same way as Chris Farley.
Alternates
Jack LaLanne - I did consider LaLanne in an earlier Draft. Even if you make Juice from your Juicer, you are only given a limited supply from what ever power you subscribe to.
Eminem [Marshall Mathers] - I like Em. He is said to have actually liked Michael Jackson. He has an image he presents in his music. I feel either his real life, or his Image will be his end, in 2010
Michael Cera - [Arrested Development, Juno, Nick and Nora’s infinite play list, nearly any other teen movie.] I figure that some kid actor will wither miscalculate on a trip, car or pharmaceutical induced. Some choice made in a time of weakness will be his last. I feel the Olsens will be rescued in time, and at worst left in hospital untill 2011.
There are soooo many choices here. I believe that the person that wins will not put all their eggs in one basket. The prospect of picking the two right 20 somethings over 10 80 year-olds is intoxicating. That being said
Then again, I feel if I had 20, I would still not have enough to hedege my bets.

If you mean “the last Golden Girl,” then nope.
I did, and that was the only other actress I Wasn’t sure of. I knew Estelle and Bea left us.
Has this game ever been played with lists other than Celebs?
Perhaps more for 2009, than would be for 2010, but can we name Companies that officially file for Chapter 11?
