My annual announcement that I had Ariel Sharon before he went into the coma and I have to keep him on the list till he croaks: I had Ariel Sharon before he went into the coma and I have to keep him on the list till he croaks.
I have not been on much lately and I probably won’t be around NYE so I have to get it in quick. Didn’t give much thought to it unfortunately. Mostly a retread from last year. I’ll try to go back and read the thread now.
I reserve the right to change my mind.
Oh because I may not be on again before NYE I need to throw in some alternates just in case.

Let’s keep this thread about the Celebrity Death Pool. Political comments really aren’t appropriate for The Game Room and are likely to hijack the thread, so please post them in a more appropriate venue - Great Debates, perhaps, if you want to discuss worst Supreme Court justices.
No warning issued.
Nitpick: It’s vale of tears – related to “valley”.
You are correct, and I wasn’t. Thank you!

I am aware, thanks, I’m hoping international pressure/politics/Iraqi incompetence delay his official offing so that has time to croak of his own accord.
Wait a minute.
What if Abdel Basset Ali al-Megrahi has a Mysterious Gunshot Accident and no one can prove who did it?
He just tripped and fell right on that bullet. Freak accident, really.
With any luck, he falls on that bullet several times.
Well, yes, but will Amarone buy that?
I mean, being British and all.
