Hardly seems worth the single-digit points.
Zsa Zsa is worth 300 pts. 50 players have her @ 6 pts apiece.
Ranks wouldn’t change much if Zsa Zsa died now. The only change in the top 10 as they currently stand would be that Boyo Jim would hold 10th place, easing Ambihelical-Hexnut into 11th.
Roger Williams, the pianist best known for his 1955 hit Autumn Leaves, has died at the age of 87. Williams performed for nine presidents, beginning with Harry Truman, who played a Chopin waltz after Williams fulfilled the Missourian’s request for some Bach and Ravel.
I just saw the story elsewhere and came here to make the EXACT same comment ![]()
I had to sing that stupid song in junior high chorus class, and hated it.
Hah.
At this point, it isn’t the points, it’s the principle of the thing!
Sure, sure, he’s been released from the hospital already, but Terrell Owens will be someone to keep in mind. Two Dopers do have him.
Lemme tell you what Zsa Zsa is going to do. She’s going to survive this year’s culling of the herd and die promptly on January 2 with her middle finger up in the air.
That’s what she is going to do.
I feel all warm and fuzzy, having given up on Zsa Zsa last year. I hope by Jan. 2 of 2012, her middle finger is all that is left of her. But that’s a different story.
Dear Fellow Dead Poolers,
I only have one stiff from my list so far and it is mid October.
Should I be concerned or should I hope for a last minute Hail Mary pass in the waning week after Christmas?
Sincerely,
Antsy
I don’t know about you, Antsy, but I’m still hoping for a December Laugh-In Reunion in an unsafe abandoned mine. . . . .
Dear Antsy,
You are one up on me then.
One year I had my only death on 12/27. I got the Final Hours award and my celebrity was also a unique pick.
Thank you Benazir Bhutto!
Dear Antsy,
Have you considered sending brochures for all inclusive cruises to Club Med to everyone left on your list and hoping for a major ship disaster? They would have to book the cruise themselves so it would not look suspicious on your part at all.
Signed,
Helpful
If not for Dennis Ritchie, Jobs and Wozniak would have had to wait for Bill Gates

Bee Gee Robin Gibb hospitalized with colon trouble.
Nobody had Wheldon though.
A rare instance of points I would be sad to collect, if I had him.
