The Celebrity Death Pool 2012

Geez, just who do I have to kill to get some points in this game?

Oh. Wait… I made a list.

Don’t, for that is the path towards disqualification.

Turns out that I got the hat trick for the month of may with Gibb (and the Lybian bomber), because I did miss that Rich Buhler, the radio preacher, died early in the 7th.

RIP

And 35 more points for me.

Whoa, GIGObuster, that puts you in sole possession of third place, behind the tied Registered at Last and CAMJAY77. It’s a unique pick too.

And I was thinking May was going to be a slow month for deaths.

My all-time high of 3rd place didn’t last very long! It was nice while it lasted.

FWIW, Sam J. Porcello died last Saturday, age 76.

Who, you say? Well, I imagine he’s touched your life. I know he touched mine.

He was the guy that developed the filling for Oreo cookies.

Michael McKean got hit by a car yesterday.

""What’s in the middle, -the middle of an Oreo? / It’s the most important stuff I Know / The White Stuff.

The White Stuff. Weird AL

Business is Risky no longer as Mom has died:

Janet Carroll worth 29 points

Sad to report the death of Led Zeppelin II

Say what?

But Isn’t Oreo 100 years old this year?

How can that be? Mirabile dictu!

(emphasis added).

Apparently, prior to his arrival as the company, Oreos were filled with something else. Caulk, peharps?

Egyptian cotton.

Ipana

Tiny sea shells.

toothpaste

Ah, that explains the cleansing, refreshing taste!

Merely noting the above … :smiley:

Oh, critter42 and stockton will be upset if Elton John goes to that great amusement hall in the sky. They were the only two players to mention him, but as alternates!
