The Celebrity Death Pool 2011

Perhaps she took some acting lessons from Daniel-Day Lewis.

Actor Jeff Conaway in a comaafter an apparent overdose.

oh crap, I had him last year but in December, it seemed that what I read indicated that he had gotten his shit together (so I didn’t take him for 2011); apparently not.

Edward Hardwicke the best damn Watson from the best damn Holmes adaptations dead of cancer at 78. Sorry to see you go, Ed.

Garret FitzGerald Irish PM who advanced the peace process, at eternal peace at age 85.

Casino magnate Don Barden goes All-in, and busts out. Age 67.

Is a coma worth half the points?

Assisted-suicide advocate Jack Kevorkian in hospital with kidney problems, lawyer says.

Sometimes, the Snark just writes itself and need no editorial comment.

Nope, he’s not even mostly dead.

I’d like to know WHEN she is going to do it. Die, Zsa Zsa, DIE.

Well Saturday at 6pm, we will have to make a ruling. When all the believers are vacuumed out of their clothes and sucked into heaven, will we count them as dead?

in what time zone?

I think the game will have to be canceled if we’re all dead.

canceling the death pool would be a real bummer. :mad:

Fear not! I forgot that, with us all dead, no one will cancel it. The game will continue. The best news is that everyone one everyone’s list will count for points!

Which… we can calculate now! Amarone, snap to it! If we all die Saturday, who wins?

If there is no body, there is no proof of death. They will be listed as “missing.”

Not that we’ll care. It’s my understanding that after the Faithful are sent to heaven we get five months of earthquakes before the world officially ends on October 21st.

Hat’s off to the boys and girls who are getting a jump on the doomsday ahead of all those 2012 people. It’s like the primary for the End Times and showing up first is huge boost in the ratings.

There will be bodies. But there won’t be witnesses.

Well, it would take far too long to work that out, but as I understand The Rapture, only the saved will be departing and the rest of us continue in our sinful, wicked ways. So I will still be in the running. And of course, only the saved celebrities will be going. There can’t be too many of those, despite what they themselves might think.

I admit I’m not up to date on the latest Rapture lore. I thought a few would be swept up and the rest of us would be… oh, consumed in fire, eaten by locusts, or some such.

I don’t know much about it either, so I used the highly reputable ask.com to learn more…
