The Celebrity Death Pool 2013

Maybe she was watching Dead Again at the time? :smiley:

I’m sure the not-so-mixed-up files of our Death Mistress can straighten this out. :wink:

There should be a comma between “twice” and “dead”.

Saw a post on Facebook from Channel 4 in Washington DC that Richie Havens had passed away, but haven’t seen an actual newslink to the passing as yet. He was (is?) 72.

Re: Richie Havens - yep, so sorry. :frowning: Here is a link (god, I hope I did this right; it’s not easy for me, let me tell y’all):

I missed the edit on my last post because I kept screwing up trying to put in the link, btw. :frowning:

It appears Havens is dead.

A unique pick for jeezums.

A guy who played at Woodstock was 72?

Jesus, I can feel the age spots growing.

Do you want to hear about how a child conceived at Woodstock could now be a grandparent?

Get off my lawn!

Actually I thought Richie was much much older than me. Didn’t he play Woodstock with no teeth? Anyway: 72? He was only (mumble mumble five years) older than me? Gaaah.

And no points for me, either.

Well, 500,000 attendees standing/sitting/sleeping in the rain kinda ruined the lawn.

Well, they did eventually get off of Yasgur’s lawn, after they finished ruining it…

Actor Allan Arbus dead at 95.

Alan Alda said to be crying inconsolably.

95? That would make him 57 in 1975 (about the time he was putting in time on MASH).

I would have never guessed he was that old.

Yeah, I would’ve picked him for 40 at the very most.

Shakuntala Devi, the Human Computer, dead at 83.

Despite the name, I had never made the mental connection and didn’t know that Allan Arbus had been married to Diane Arbus.

Me either, nor did I know she was the sister of Howard Nemerov, who was once Poet Laureate. Six degrees indeed.

A considerable portion of the population already has their pants down. Perhaps they need to slide on the ice as well.

Country music star George Jones has died at age 81.

I guess he finally stopped lovin’ her today. RIP 'Possum!
