The Celebrity Death Pool 2012

Welcome to the 5th annual Why the Fuck Isn’t Ariel Sharon Dead Wish it Was a Memorial Post.

This is where I usually mention he was on my 2006 list before he went into the coma. HE WAS ON MY 2006 LIST BEFORE HE WENT INTO THE COMA. So yes, he is alive because of me.

Putting my list up now just in case I forget. Since I am currently tied for 111th place in the 2011 pool I doubt anyone is in a hurry to copy my picks.

Some from last year, some new and a couple bandwagons.

And of course Ariel

Ariel Sharon
Etta James
Hugo Chavez
Paul Prudhomme
Ethan Zohn
Levon Helm
Sean Connery
Robin Gibb
Joe Paterno
Gregg Allman
Giuliana Rancic
Pat Summerall
Gary Carter

And in case someone pulls a Kim Jong Il before the 1st:

Bryant Gumbel
Roger Moore
Axl Rose

Ok, but what about 18 years from now when I add him, or them, onto my list?

Double points? And does it use one slot or two out of the 13 on my list?

And what if only one of the heads die?

There is a similar case of conjoined twin girls here in Minnesota, and they are considered two separate people. They even had to take their driver’s tests twice–one for each head. Therefore, I would say that they should take up two slots on any death pool list.

And they are 21 years old, so you could add them, you sick bastard :).

I wonder if there are enough of them around for a themed list. If they take up two slots on the list each, I better get double points if the body dies.

Long time listener, first time caller and all that jazz… My first list.

As Death Mistress I want to give a heads up. On 12/28 I will be making a post I call “Final Warning” It will let folks who want to play, but have mis-posted in one way or another that they need to correct their lists for them to count in the game. When I’ve noticed problems I’ve PM’d the posters in question, and with the Final Warning it will be up to them to correct things before 12/31.

We have 71 entries so far that count. I know a lot of folks wait until the last minute, including yours truly. But don’t put it off too long, let the celebrities know you care!:smiley:

Baker, I need a clairification on “themed list”

Does a ‘Cliff Clavin’ theme work?

13 celebrities that have been in my kitchen!

They are all still alive, so they can verify the truth to my theme?

don’t you mean “never been”?

Have we thirteen contestants and three alternates?

Yes: Damn cheap laptop keyboard :smack:

This is the “Copied directly from Dead or Alive?” theme.
