Bandwagon? I had her as a pick for the current game. Neener neener neener!
Amarone: howzabout a new award, for the most alternates exercised?
I see lots of Dick Clark, Zsa Zsa, and Ariel Sharon in the lists.
I mock your picks - MOCK MOCK MOCK 
These “people” are not of this world! Time and space (and death) are different for them.
ETA currently 92nd in the 2010 pool.
I don’t keep a record of alternates. They are almost never needed so it is easier just to look them up when needed.
In other words: No!
Speaking of alternates, seven people who have already picked Elizabeth Edwards will now have to use an alternate.
Including me…
And me. I think I’m playing this game wrong.
Side bet: Zsa Zsa and Ariel snuff it before Christmas.
Swamp’s Annual List Of Those Who Shall Live Forever The Sequel
Replacing Elizabeth Edwards with Lindsay Lohan. I figure she’s about two trips to rehab from buyin’ the farm.

OK, did you have an inside track on Elizabeth Edwards or something? I mean really… :smack:
:eek: 
Good In theory. Just don’t think it did what you wanted it to do.
I don’t get the connection to your link. I was not trying to be funny about anything and I don’t see how the result was anything different from what I wanted. I really did want people to hold off from changing their lists to put EE on as from the reports it seemed unlikely she would last until then.
Just the making people cringe part. It seems as if we have a black mark on 2011 already.
From the list theme, it seems pretty certain to me that the last person on the list is usually known as Pope Benedict XVI, and is on many other lists. Not sure if anyone else, amarone specifically, caught this.
Revised list, with previous name correction and substitution for EE. Changes are bolded.
Connie Newton Needham
Paul Teutel
George Karl
Mari Hulman George
Adam Yauch

I was tempted to go for a pro wrestling theme, (Have you checked that profession? They are dropping like [del]super[/del]flies!) but there were other choices in other professions that I think could not be ignored.
I will still go for the theme at the Giraffe Boards but I’m changing tactics here.
Kim Jong-il
Ariel Sharon
Abdelbaset Ali Mohmed Al Megrahi
Jeff Conaway
Boris Spassky
Lindsay Lohan
Michael Douglas
Christopher Hitchens
Rich Buhler
Baby Jake Matlala
Gerry Rafferty
Superstar Billy Graham
Raymond Louis Heenan
Alternate:
Muhammad Ali
Quick notes:
Rich Buhler: Southern California Christian radio host
Boris Spassky: The Russian chess master that searched for Bobby Fisher.
Baby Jake Matlala: South African boxer and junior flyweight champion
Gerry Rafferty: Scottish singer and songwriter.
Superstar Billy Graham: Not the preacher, this is the pro wrestler, real name is Wayne Coleman.
Raymond Louis Heenan: Former wrestler too, better known as Bobby “The Brain” Heenan.
I will post a final list with changes (this is very likely as Elizabeth Eduards was going to be on my list) and commentary later, just posting now just in case I forget the deadline and to see how many unique pics or copycats 
I notice.
I did not know the name Ratzinger until someone notified me by PM. If people want to get cute with names, that’s fine, but they take the risk that I will not know/notice and then the onus will be on them to make sure they get their points should the person die.
Anyone who cringes is in the wrong thread. May I suggest they find something about kittens in MPSIMS?
Okay, revised list:

Interesting choice. He’s not sick, but he’s certainly not making any friends in the intellegence community.
