You realize you’ll get no points for her if she dies before August 29 (her 18th birthday), right?

You still have to admire a brand new poster who’s first appearance in the this game! I think cardboardbox will fit in wel, don’t you?:stuck_out_tongue:

I had no idea who Courtney Stodden is. So I looked her up. Still have no idea who she is, but after looking at her pictures, I have one question:

She’s really* just 17???*

Poor kid peaked before she’s 20. shakes head It’s all downhill to a plastic, immoveable future from here.

Of course, she could have a Drew Barrymore-like comeback in another ten years . . .

Annotated list in a moment, it’s a pain to add the annotated list in the same post.

Old religious men:
Billy Graham - the evangelist.
Fred Phelps - the jerk.
Pope Benedict XVI - the old pope.
Fabian Bruskewitz - Catholic bishop, diocese of Lincoln, NE. Famously known for
being on the loony side of conservative.

It’s all political:

Mike Gravel - former Alaska senator, former US presidential candidate.
Miguel de la Madrid - former president of Mexico. Reported dead last week - then reported alive.

I’d never heard of her either. She looks 40 after surgery, and looked age appropriate bveforehand. U’r doin’ it rong!

Apparently her husband is 51, though. I also had never heard of her. When I did, I learned about her marriage.

It’s not the surgery that makes her look 40, it’s the (purposefully?) ratty hair and excessively dark eye make up that does it.

Getting my list in on time this year. Changing to an almost completely different list, with a theme. Mostly older folks, so not many points, but a few of the younger wilder ones just in case.

Don Williams
Jim Ed Brown
Jimmy Dickens
George Jones
Kenny Chesney
Tanya Tucker
Harold Reid
Phil Balsley
Jimmy Fortune
Don Reid
LeAnn Rimes
Charley Daniels
Juice Newton

Alts
Kenny Rogers
Charley Pride

Well I do. If you are asking if thats the rules? Must have 13 contestants. You can have a hundred alternates or none. The alternates only matter if someone on your list dies before Jan 1st and you can’t get on the board to change your list.

Yeah so is Ariel Sharon. He taunts me.

While we had some postings in this thread on Christmas Day, I notice nobody actually posted a list, just comments.

Whatta way to show respect!!!

It’s out of respect for a guy who totally ruined the Death Pool in 33 AD.
