The Celebrity Death Pool 2013

He’s 94. He should be fine. I’m waiting on another 91 year old to complete the Deanna Durbin/Esther Williams trilogy. Prince Philip, 91, is said to be recovering well from exploratory surgery…

Former MA Paul Cellucci dies from ALS complications.

:eek:

Golden Casket

BTW, Cellucci was worth 35 points.

British author Iain Banks has died at 41 points.

Also former French PM Pierre Mauroy has died at 16 points.

Banks was one of 4 definates for my 2014 list

As in first of the two to die, wins?

Damnit! Mine, too. He was taken before [del]my[/del] his time!

LAS VEGAS — Barbara Vucanovich, who was the first woman to represent Nevada in Congress and went on to serve the sprawling, rural 2nd Congressional District for 14 years, died Monday after a brief illness, family members said. She was 91.

Miller Barber, former PGA Tour Golf professional, has died a age 82.

I had a golf themed list but IIRC, he was not on my list for next year.

44 years ago he almost won the US Open which is being played this weekend.

Now that we are almost halfway through the year I’m posting the names of the thirty four celebrities who have gained players points.

If I missed someone please let me know. I try to check all of them mentioned in the thread, but although I have the power of life and death in this game, I’m still mostly human.

G-d, I’m old.

Sir Henry Cecil, at 30 points. Modesty forbids mentioning if anyone might have had him or not.

Someone named “Cecil” died, and you expect points?
:rolleyes:

And that person is now in third place!

Also, guylevesque gets 16 points for Pierre Mauroy. I could have sworn I’d checked that name but missed it.

This vaults guylevesque from next to last, at 120th place, to 98th place!

One death that went unnoticed was that of Robert G. Bennett, owner of Tony Packo’s Cafe, made world famous by Max Klinger of MAS*H. He died May 12

Crowe to perform Friday

you know the saying around here: points is points

Woodstock died?

How’s Snoopy taking it?
