The Celebrity Death Pool 2011

Bewildebeest and Maus Magill, y’all caused beer snortage. HEE! :smiley:

I’m AS mad as hell…that no one remembers this quote verbatim.

But Yes, I saw Network for the first time in the past year or two. Blew me out of the water how much they nailed it. Reminded me of Daily Show [Colbert’s This Week in God.] more than “”“real”"" news, but I couldn’t believe how topical Network remains.

Remarkable how they channeled Fox and Glen Beck so many years ago.

Gil Robbins, folk singer and former member of The Highwaymen, dead at 80.

This simply will not do. Beer snorting and taxes aside, the Grim Reaper appears to be on vacation, like some kind of overpaid city employee who should be denied a living wage in favor of some billionaire’s wallet.

Enough is enough. If there’s not a Biblical amount of celebrity bodies by Easter,
then everyone will soon be at the mercy of Cthulhu or some other Great Old One.

It’s time to apease the Elder Gods and demand human sacrifice. Tie Zsa Zsa to a stake and burn the witch!

Zsa Zsa’s trying, but it’s like she’s running a three legged race with two legs missing.

I have nothing against Zsa Zsa’s leg. The trouble is, neither does she.

You mean the one in the landfill?

Promising news for Derryn Hinch…and me.

Yeah, I saw it within the last year, and it really is scary how prescient it was. I can imagine people seeing it years from now and wonder what the big deal about it was.

Since the Doper Grim Reapers appear to need a fix, I will post the death of Golf Digest Co-Founder, Jack Barnett, died earlier this week at age 89.

Maybe the withdrawal pains will subside for a couple of hours. I’m doing all I can.

If you were doing all you can, you would go out and kill a Celebrity. A big name one. One that would be in the headlines for weeks. Someone like Michael Jackson. Too bad OJ’s locked up.

I kid, I kid. :stuck_out_tongue:

Breaks rule 8 and would result in disqualification. Not that that’s the only reason not to do it. I think…

You are disqualified only if you kill a celebrity mentioned in this thread. So kill one who is not mentioned in this thread, and you will not be disqualified.

Granted, disqualification would be the least of your problems in such a scenerio, and I am not really encouraging it

True, but if you announce the death in order to give the DP ghouls their fix, it then becomes mentioned, albeit post mortem. We many need to get SCOTUS to rule on that one.

But if someone killed a celebrity, the celebrity likely would be mentioned in this thread. It’s like being on a Möbius strip!

ETA: See, if Amarone and I both think of it, it’s not just reactionary!

Would I be DQed if I killed a celebrity that I did not pick. Suppose I want help a buddy out? I want to do good deeds for my fellow dopers.

FTR, I was a former boy scout, but I never did get my merit badge for altruistic homicide.

Does that mean you are no longer a former boy scout? Hey, it’s so quiet on the death front that I have to find something to do.

I guess “was a former boy scout” is redundant.

FTR, Danny Fiszman, a diamond dealer and part owner of a soccer team in Europe, dead at age 66.

Grim Reaper is not on Holiday. Just keeping a low profile.
