The Celebrity Death Pool 2010

Beaver Cleaver’s mom is no more.

Gee Mrs. Cleaver, three folks on this board got six points each!

Thank you Eddie. Wally is upstairs in his bedroom. :stuck_out_tongue:

The death of THE iconic 50s/60s sitcom mom and six beers compel me to tell one of the worst jokes I know. I am so ashamed. :o However, I shall spoilerize (is too a word!) the punchline. This means, if you look it’s on YOUR head. Hey, I’ll take any out I can find for this!

What’s the dirtiest line ever said on American television.

Ward, weren’t you a little rough on the Beaver last night?

Yeah, yeah, yeah, I’m a heathen condemned to the lowest, darkest, dankest circle of hell. However, I’m not the one who allowed her son to have the serial killer nickname of Beaver Cleaver. Think about that!

I’ve probably watched every episode of Leave it to Beaver and I think it is an urban legend that June Cleaver uttered those words.

Oh we can be pretty sure of that but still, funny joke! Oh and since you looked, it’s on you, not me! :stuck_out_tongue:

Almost, though:

That’s the quote that I have heard most (“hard” rather than “rough”).

I stand corrected, thank you. Funny, I do not remember that particular episode. I have seen the episodes before and after it several times. Maybe TPTB have taken this episode out of the loop because of what June says.

Thanks Fear Itself.

Whew! I thought I was going to be shut out this year.

Belva Plain, who wrote more than twenty bestselling novels beginning with the 1978 Evergreen, has died at the age of 95. Plain had written poetry and short stories for decades, only turning to long-form fiction after she became a grandmother and gained the requisite perspective on the development of families and history through succeeding generations.

Rapper Eyedea dead at 28.

Just came across on Twitter: Tom Bosley dead at 83.

Good night, Mr. C.

It’s a bad week for sitcom parents.

MSNBC story, with photos.

Sadly, the sitcom parents are reaching the ages whee they are going to start dying off.

Johnny Sheffield, who played Boy in eight Tarzan films before taking the title role in Bomba, the Jungle Boy, has died at the age of 79. After the Bomba series of a dozen flicks ran its course, Sheffield left show business in 1955, but continued to receive fan mail for the next half-century.

And Cazzle gets off the mark with 17 points for his unique pick.

Happy days!

Me Tarzan; you dead.

Agreed. It is sad that so few people are scoring off them.

Yeah, last night Mrs. Brady got kicked off Dancing With the Stars!
