Thanks.

Ineligible under the “must not be already dead” rule.

Carlos - you did not specify any alternates, so I need another name to get you back to 13 picks. If you do not offer one, I will just use the remaining 12 and you are still “in the game”.

I think he should get 1/2 points for Haim if Feldman snuffs it.

MOTHER OF CHRIST !!! how do you expect some one to keep track of those 2 and care which one is dead and which ones career is in the dirt ? O yea the Google .

Notes: By George Bush, I mean the first President Bush, not his son.

I use George H. W. Bush and George W. Bush to distinguish.

I would think, around these parts, George the First would suffice. :eek:

I always intend to overhaul my list but wind up pretty much using the previous year’s. For 2011 I’ve swapped Roger Ebert out for Ariel Sharon, and filled the vacancy left by George Steinbrenner with Mathias Rust. Rust is the pilot who landed his plane in Red Square in 1987; I don’t have any inside news about his health, but I happened to read his Wikipedia article and he’s a real nutjob, so what the hell. Thanks once again for running the pool, amarone!

some kind of a theme here with former/current/future leaders of non-democratic countries, sprinkled with some all-around bad guys

That, sir, is an afront to musicians everywhere :wink:

Themes?

Themes?

Everyone has something great going and I’ve been staying away from the 2011 thread because, well, 2010 is going so freakin’ well for me. 2nd place, baby. I’m telling EVERYONE.

Now you assclowns and I mean that in the kindest way possible are doing themes.

Oh.fer*.fucks*.sake.

There goes my 2011 Masterfuckingpeice Gift of Life Death Pool List.

I hate you all. but in a nice way.
are there 13 living famous midgets with health conditions ?

Themes are optional

I know they are optional, but it.is.a.challenge.

I want to be able to retroactively choose the theme “People who will all survive”. I know there can’t be many points in that.
