The Celebrity Death Pool 2013

Tied for 2nd to last! (among players w/pts)

Multiple…starts with “M”

Scolerois…and an “S”

MS did her in.

Wow.

This week has been busy with Ebert passage and the Iron Lady.

Ebert will be missed. I have no feelings about Maggie dying either way. It’s just business.

Nobel prize winner Sir Robert Edwards, IVF pioneer, has died at 87.

I should be happy because I have more points than last year.

I should be happy.

I shouldn’t wish for any deaths.

Even if they are old and have lived a full life.

Even if they are assholes and the world would be better without them.

Even if . . . . . . . . . . . . .

Goddammit, I hate (love) this game.

:smack:

Chill out, you’re gonna bust somethin’.
:slight_smile:

I live in Wisconsin. The average daily temperature this time of year is 52 degrees F. It has been in the 20s and 30s and rainy/icy/snowy for the last 3 weeks.

I’m a bit on edge. :eek:

So, pick Wisconsin celebrities next year. :slight_smile:
You gotta have slippery roads around there.

I picked Brett Favre last year and Bart Starr this year. Until I get a small return on my investment, I’m not willing to put more in the pot.:wink:

Jonathan Winters would have been good for 13 points.

What a waste of such a talent

Not to mention 13 points I still don’t have.

Former New York City Ballet prima ballerina Maria Tallchief dies in Chicago at 88.

One of the funniest men ever. And another Mad, Mad, World cast member has gone.

I loved Winters in The Russians are Coming, the Russians are Coming!

We’ve got to get organized!

One of the best movies of ever :smiley:

I even loved the corny ending. Does anyone have a translation of the Russian dialogue I wonder? there were no subtitles.

As always, there are major differences between the movie (TRACTRAC) and the book it was based on (The Off-Islanders, by Nathaniel Benchley). The book is every bit as screwy as the movie, though, so while Hollywood didn’t stick to the story exactly they at least kept to the spirit of it. This is one of the few cases I can think of where I like the movie as much as I do the book, and will heartily recommend both.

Baker - on this site The Russians Are Coming the Russians Are Coming (1966) - Reference View - IMDb

if you scroll down to the section called: Do You Know, there are translations of the subtitles.
(I don’t know if this is complete - but there seem to be a a lot.)
