I will brush off last year’s list, substituting Lindsey Lohan for Robin Gibbs. Most of the people on my list came from discussions in Cafe Society, albeit about 3 or 4 years ago. They are (mostly) all going strong.

Not to mention how many they get wrong.
As a supermarket cashier, I see the covers on a daily basis.
1.Notice how they are always “Tragic Sad Last days.” They must have the same skeleton, (heh) and plug in the celeb of the moment.
2.There was a huge article recently on who is gay. And I’m like, really? How does that affect your life, at all?
3.It was apparently newsworthy to mention that Demi Moore has to adopt.
Since when, is someone doing the right things, newsworthy? Given the age, what’s the scandal?
Frankie Muniz is a racecar driver these days? Man, if I hadn’t decided to go with the low-hanging fruit this year…
An interesting suggestion has been made to me by a player. I’ll reveal their username if they so wish.
That’s an additional award, “The Golden Casket Award” for any player whose choices ALL die. It’s never been done. It would be kind of like winning the Congressional Medal of Honor, you could always “wear” it, even in subsequent years. You know, brag.
What do you all think of this?
Heck yeah! Golden Casket!
Frankie is also a racecar driver and the drummer in a band. One of those things has got to catch up to him.
Spinal Tap usually has an opening…
Well my “go big or go home” gamble looks like it went bust in 2012.
I think this year, I’ll try for a list of people that doesn’t include all 18 year olds.
How ghoulish! I love it!
Anybody pulls that trick off deserves something special. And maybe an investigation.
Sounds like a movie treatment to me! Gorgeous/handsome investigator races around the world to exotic locations, gathering clues to solve a mysterious series of deaths. As the clock ticks, and danger threatens…
