The Celebrity Death Pool 2013

How you going to feel if Van Cilburn dies?

I caught it, but still thanks for the heads up. When I use the sort function to alphabetize selections there aren’t too many V’s, so I saw the difference.

I have never entered CDP for a variety of reasons. But I enjoy reading the threads. How come so many people think Lindsay Lohan is going to die? She’s not old, doesn’t have any illnesses. Are you all thinking OD or car crash?

Any death by misadventure will do.

Same reason that many people (correctly) thought Amy Winehouse was going to die, I suppose. Although she’s not “ill” as such, she does appear to have many problems. And of course, she’s young so would score a lot of points.

Another factor: She’s going to turn 27 in July.

OD is what I am thinking. Amy Winehouse paid off for me big time two years ago.

If she joins the club, 73 points for everyone who picked her – unless she puts it off till next year.

She’s reckless.

She seems like the kind of person who just can’t seem to keep away from drugs and other risky behaviors. Youth does tend to be more protective than you’d think towards that kind of stuff, but still, of the current crop of young risk-taking celebs she seems to be the safest bet. Unfortunately for her.

Humble apologies Death Mistress. I must clarify another pick on my list. I misspelled my #8 pick. He is Gary Dourdan not Dourdain.

No I was not cheating and trying to squeeze Bourdain and Dourdan into one pick.

NPR reports South African cyclist Burry Stander dead after being struck by a taxi.

Anyone?

I’m going to go out on a limb here and say: “No.”

Daphne Oxenford, who voiced the old Listen With Mother shows on the wireless, has died aged 93. I’m doubtful she’s been picked, though. Anyone…?

No to both Stander and Oxenford.

Despite rumors to the contrary, Megen Fox and J.K. Rowling are not dead.

I read that Hugo Chavez is supposed to be sworn in in a week for his next term as President of Venezuela, but that his political team is concerned he’ll be able to be there.

I am of two minds about Chavez. On the one hand he’s a dirtbag. But, if he dies, I’ve got a lot of work to do!

Pete Elliot, Former Michigan QB and CFB head coach at Illinois, California and Nebraska, dead at age 86

You knew this might happen when you accepted his offer to be Vice President.

Nemo:

Rule 1: Do not piss off the Death Mistress.
Rule 2: Do not annoy the Death Mistress.
Rule 3: Do not tease the Death Mistress.
Rule 4: Do not anger the Death Mistress.
Rule 5: Suck up to the Death Mistress at Every Opportunity.
You watch your ass.
