Director Ken Russell dead at 84
ETA: Too slow, dammit!!
I had him … although I think I might have misspelt his name as Scott Stapp. 
Um, yeah, that’s who I meant too, but I spelled it Zsa Zsa Gabor. You can see the resemblance.
Ummm, yeah. Somehow though, I don’t think you have a leg to stand on with her.
You know, Zsa Zsa, if you would just go ahead and die already, we could all stop making this joke. The world will be grateful.
Hop to it!
Did I receive credit for Charlie Louvin?
Yes you did. Your point total stands at 152, which puts you in ninth place.
Thank you, Baker.
You’re welcome!
With the injection of 32 points Wheelz goes to tenth place, with 151 points, a jump from 18th place.
Wow… A top-ten finish would be awesome in just my second year of competition!
We’ll have to see how the next 33 days go, however…
I’m still hoping for that Laugh-In Reunion in a building secretly scheduled for demolition.
I think an explosion at a very special gathering of NFL Hall of Famers would help out (though honestly, I’d settle for Zsa Zsa kicking the bucket - with one of those special one-legged hopping kicks).
Would sending the remaining folks on my list a “Secret Santa” present of a cruise to Libya be a rule violation? I mean, I couldn’t say for sure anything bad would happen.
Stalin’s daughter dies:
Brian
A terrible shame for two reasons:
- He was a very funny comedian and by most accounts a terrific guy who died way too young, and
- He was going to be on my 2012 list.
Yeah, 'tis the season…when all of my 2012 picks will inevitably start shuffling off. 
Well, that’s 59 points nobody got!
I’ll stay up late tomorrow night, and post the OP in the 2012 Death Pool as soon as possible after midnight.
