38 points, finally.
I’m sorry he died, and what a rough way to go. RIP, Robin. It’s a tragedy.
Baker, the formatting isn’t coming out great for me- I guess the first figure is points, what does the 2nd (single) figure mean?
And how many of us are elite and have no points (if it isn’t too much trouble- that isn’t important).
The second figure is how many deaders each player has!
Fifty seven players are still virgins, this year anyway!
Body count.
26th! Moses and Aaron on a stick.
Back in the top 10! I guess that means my chances are…stayin’ alive. (Too soon?)
So CAMJAY77 and Registered at Last could very well tie for first place this year. Of their six remaining choices each, two match. After that, both of them have four celebrities that differ from each other.
If I were one of those eight I’d be concerned. They are going to be the tiebreakers. Or not.
No.
Dammit, I wish I’d posted that…
Shirley, not to derail this thread, I made a comment here.
And Baker, who said you can’t get it back! 
I went for tied for twelfth place to…tied for twelfth place. Everybody above me picked Gibb dammit!
Rapidly approaching the 2.5 year mark of death pool virginity.
No paper hats at this party.
Of course, my lists are always composed entirely of
old people. It’s more of a gamble than googling
“terminal stomach cancer” and seeing who pops up.
My celebrities are’t trying hard enough. How about some drunk drag racing?!
I was quite proud of my efficiency – in the top 25 players, I have the highest average points per death.
However, for no reason at all, this evening I checked one of my more whimsical picks, Edward Short, Baron Glenamara, and it turns out he passed away two weeks ago.
This may seem like a piffling amount of points (to wit, one), but this moves me from a five-way tie for 11th place to sole possession of 11th place, and drops Hal Briston, Shirley Ujest, Squonk, and Tom Scud into 12th place.
It also ruins my “efficiency.” Fooey.
Checking back over all my picks, I found something interesting. This is over a month old, so sorry if somebody posted it and I missed it, but late popular bandwagon pick Raven Alexis has apparently had a “miraculous recovery” from her stage IV metastatic brain cancer and some are accusing her of having faked the whole thing.
So, Robin Gibbs is no longer “Staying Alive.”
Should’ve twisted my theme list, “Saturday Night Dead”, to include him - he was often imitated on SNL. Plus, you know, the “Saturday Night Fever” thing.
Well, last week was NOT the week to be a 71 year old Filipino comic book artist - we lost both Ernie Chan and Tony DeZuniga - Ernie on 5/16 and Tony on 5/11
Glad that was one band wagon I stayed off of.
Oh, that’s so sweet! 
Let’s flash back to Celebrity Deathpool 2001 for a moment and look at the top picks:
- Ronald Reagan - died 2004
- Robert Downey Jr. - still alive
- Pope John Paul II - died 2005
- Dudley Moore - died 2002
- Dick Cheney - still alive
- Boris Yeltsin - died 2007
- Gerald Ford - died 2006
- Mohammad Ali - still alive
- Katharine Hepburn - died 2003
- Darryl Strawberry - still alive
- Kirk Douglas - still alive
- Michael J. Fox - still alive
- Bob Hope - died 2003
- John Goodman - still alive
- Richard Pryor - died 2005
- Keith Richards - still alive
- Elizabeth Taylor - died 2011
- Yassir Arafat - died 2004
- Johnny Carson - died 2005
- Ted Kennedy - died 2009
- Walter Cronkite - died 2009
- George W. Bush - still alive
- Andy Dick - still alive
- Annette Funicello - still alive
- Liza Minnelli - still alive
- Paul Newman - died 2008
- Strom Thurmond - died 2003
- Dan Aykroyd - still alive
- Johnny Cash - died 2003
- Calista Flockhart - still alive
- Stephen Hawking - still alive
- Jesse Helms - died 2008
- Adam Sandler - still alive
- Ted Williams - died 2002
Roughly half of the people we considered most likely to die in 2001 are still alive.
I can only conclude that we really suck at this game.
Not only are half still alive, but it looks like not a one actually died in 2001!
Dude, I’d forgotten how far gone Downey, Jr. was that we all assumed his death was imminent. Good on him for cleaning up.
