The Celebrity Death Pool 2012

I May, or May not have Patrick Norton on my 2015 list.

((Yes, I’m that far ahead on my themes.))

You know, just in case we are calling Dibs on the Former Tech Tv crew. Anyone know where Martin Sargent ended up, while I’m at it?

Coincidentally Leo mentioned Martin Sargent during (IIRC) the Tech Guy show today. He said he’s a copywriter for an ad agency in San Francisco.

über cool :cool::cool::cool:

I think I’ve figured out how to get people dying: wait until my internet connection fubars. It’s been messed up since last Sunday and in that time both Andy Griffith and Tante Ernest Borgnine* die. :mad:

*A title he earned in the very last (aired) episode of MST3K, a high honor indeed.

Marion Cunningham has died at 90.

No, not Richie’s mom. (Marion Ross is still among the living at 83.) Cunningham was a celebrated cookbook author and food journalist.

Dammit.

Film producer Richard Zanuck dead at 77.

Sage Stallone, Sylvestor’s son, has died. Age 36. He played Rocky’s son in Rocky V.

Sad news.

If I’d been betting on the next Stallone to die, I’d have had my money on Sly’s 90 year old mother, Jackie.

When he started wearing that earring and sassing back to Talia Shire, I knew he was destined for a hard life.

More hope…er, bad news aboutAndy Williams.

They should call up Claudine Longet to put him out of his misery

Donald J. Sobol, the author of Encyclopedia Brown, dead at 87. I loved those books as a kid.

I did, too. There’s one I remember where the bad guy filled gloves with cement and tied them to his shoes to make everyone think a paraplegic stole something. Very bizarre but cool!

Stephen Covey, author of The Seven Habits of Highly Effective People, has died at 79 from complications from a bicycle accident.

I guess safe operation of a bicycle wasn’t one of the seven.

That sucked the first time I read it on Yahoo News comments, and it sucks now.

Jon Lord, Deep Purple Keyboardist, Dies At Age 71

His spiritual home of Branson, Missouri? What was his religion? The Holy Church of the Mystical Rhinestone?"
