The Celebrity Death Pool 2013

Hey! I’m not 99th anymore.

Conversation before dinner:

Wife: “Nelson Mandela died.”
Me: “Five points.”
Wife: “You’re sick.”

I’m looking forward to next year. If Mandela had died a month from now, the conversation would have taken on a whole different tone:

Wife: “Nelson Mandela died.”
Me: “Five points, but I didn’t have him.”
Wife: “You’re sick. And you can’t play Deathpool worth shit.”

See? Totally different! :smiley:

I like your wife, RT.

Points is points, but damn, five?

He was one of my favorite HITGs…

Yay! Finally on the board!

As his last act why couldn’t he have taken out Ariel Sharon?

My wife’s first question when I got home last night was whether I had Nelson Mandela. It’s nice when one’s spouse takes an intrest.

Pushed back to a tie for 127th - dammit!

Not mine.

Perhaps that says something kore about mine, than theirs…

Don’t give up hope! One year I got my first, and only points, on December 27th. Won the Final Hours award. Thank you Benazir Bhutto!

Have you a link to the awards, Oh Most Perfect Death Mistress?
:slight_smile:

No awards to be dispensed until at least January 1st at 00:00:01 Chicago time

Not to all of them, but here is a link to the 2007 game. See post 1392 for the awards, including my Final Hours award. http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=398513&page=28&highlight=Celebrity+2007

Edward “Babe” Heffron, E Co, 506th PIR (the Band of Brothers) died 1 December.

Actress Eleanor Parker has died, at the age of 91. I had her for a couple of years, until I changed my strategy for this year. Sorry I doomed her.

She was a really beautiful woman. Most people remember her for her last major role, in “the Sound of Music” but I like her in a picture from the early 1950’s “The Naked Jungle” with a 30 year old Charlton Heston. Her name then ranked above his in the credits!

I know people are panning Carrie Underwood’s performance but I had no idea it was this bad.

Oh, you mean Ms Parker finally watched it? I think what killed her is she didn’t get the two great numbers that Laura Benanti did

Has the final hours award ever been shared? Like, if G.H.W. Bush were to go in late December, a bunch of players would have the final pick.
