I didn’t take it to be a theme. In terms of what constitutes a theme, I have already stated in this thread that a theme should apply to a tiny percentage of the population. I will go with that for now.
EVANGELICALS WHO NEED TO MEET THEIR MAKER
Tony Alamo – Cult leader and sex with minors
Warren Jeffs – Poligamist – child abuse
Fred Phelps -Westbobo Baptist Church
Charles Manson – Still around
Kent Hovind – Young Earth Christian (extreme) and tax protester
Jim Bakker – Telethief – adultery - corruption
Sun Myung Moon – Cult, tax fraud, corruption
Benny Hinn – Telethief, fake healer, corruption
Jimmy Swaggart – Telethief – adultery - corruption
Robert Tilton – Corrupt televangelist
James Dobson – Focus on Family, hate group, political corruption
Ted Haggard – “Over-repented from his gay prostitute and drugs days”
Joseph Ratzinger – Con man, Cult leader
Clean list
Warren Jeffs
Fred Phelps

Sun Myung Moon

Jimmy Swaggart

Ted Haggard
Joseph Ratzinger

Good. It’s not a real theme, it’s snarkage.
Really like the idea (wish?) here. Of course, you might do really well if Kim Jong-un decides to off the old man and his brothers in a purge too. Nothing like a little fratricide and patricide to help cement authority. But will it be reported? That’s where it gets tricky. Wait to see who gets the “flu” in North Korea…
It’s all a theme to me: Celebrity Death Pool kinda sets the pattern.
Wait, what? We have to have a theme now? It doesn’t mention it in the rules. 
Wait a minute. We don’t HAVE to have a theme this year, do we?
Theme is optional, but it gets you an extra award if your theme has the highest score.
Junior or Senior? And it’s spelled Teutul.
Thanks. I never saw the name printed, so I assumed the common spelling. Senior, BTW.
Let’s try to keep this quiet. I’m miffed enough knowing I’ll have to split the $500,000 prize in case of a tie.
My theme is ‘13 People Who Have Never Been in My Kitchen’
I don’t know if it qualifies as a theme but I’m hoping for a Kim Lucky day.
Exactly. Several people were doing themes anyway so I decided to add an extra award. But the theme winner only gets one tenth of the dollar prize awarded to the overall winner.
Your kitchen is a pretty busy place for your theme to meet the “tiny percentage of the population” criterion.
Through Castro I thought you might be going for some sort of communist dictator and family theme, but Michael Douglas foiled that and you seriously lost the plot at Margaret Thatcher.
Wow, tough crowd.
Fair enough, though. My list stands (for now).
mmm
Although it will probably need to sit down in a sturdy chair pretty soon here.
The only real theme my list has is “people who are on Little Nemo’s 2011 Celebrity Deathpool list”.
Although it would qualify under the “tiny percentage of the population” guideline.
I did not intend to do a theme. Honestly. Just in surfing for potential candidates, I was distracted by a video snipet from Laugh In and thought “Hey! I can’t do any worse than I have in previous years…”
