Dead Pool 2011

post on lenihan needs copied to the irish politics thread

lol dom passantino is like the creepiest person in the world ever omg waht

^^ lol - this thread is the only reason i know there's a wikipedia page for celebrities with brain tumors -- it included Mark Ruffalo!!! -- i think his was really minor though

omg straight giggles at dom

I won't vote, but, as I suspected, I've become morbidly fascinated with this thread. At least one of you will be glad to hear that Chuck Berry collapsed on stage last night:

http://content.usatoday.com/communities/entertainment/post/2011/01/chuck-berry-falls-ill-during-chicago-show-1/1

Yeah, that's why I picked him...

I saw that story too, but the fact that he got up off the stretcher once he heard the crowd roaring and came back onstage convinces me that Chuck's never gonna die.

That said, where's Little Richard been lately?

Zsa Zsa Gabor - If she makes it through 2011 I'll give you the money myself.

looks like he's right. gangrene and leg amputation imminent.

i was totally gonna pick zsa zsa just randomly before I even know any of that stuff and now i feel like i'd be cheating if i did so. or at least cribbing from dom which is basically as close to cheating in this game as you can get.

Yeah, me too.

Pete Postlethwaite has died.

Can I pick Maggie Daley? She doesn't have a wikipedia page.

I think this is OK.

can I take Muhammad Ali out of my list and add in Chuck Berry instead please?

Got it.

You've got Dennis Frederiksen twice. Wanna pick another?

Kinda want to change a bunch of my own, but they'd mostly be repeats of what others have made and would only cancel out scores. As the 2007 champ, I'll play the odds a bit more loosely.

I think karma's on my side anyway since I took Joni Mitchell off my list.

I've had Zsa Zsa on mine for the last couple years so I don't feel like I'm a bandwagon jumper. Chuck Berry on the other hand....

Fidel Castro
Gene Hackman
Bob Barker
Billy Graham
Nancy Reagan
Ernest Borgnine
Fats Domino
Zsa Zsa Gabor
Bob Dole
Kim Jong Il
Aretha Franklin
Larry Hagman
Kirk Douglas
Michael Douglas
Chuck Berry

oh dang, thanks for pointing that out. here's my revised list:

Charlie Louvin
Aretha Franklin
Andy Whitfield
Dennis Frederiksen
Ed Thompson (politician)
Brian Lenihan, Jr.
Harmon Killebrew
Ruth Bader Ginsburg
D.K. Holm
Keisuke Kuwata
Guy David Innes-Ker, 10th Duke of Roxburghe
Derryn Hinch
Brian Haw
Dave Rose (basketball coach)
Christopher Hitchens

I switched out Twiggy too because my "sources" tell me that she isn't likely to die this year. keep in mind that this is highly privileged information, and I'd appreciate it no one would repeat it outside of this thread.

Thanks, suzy.

D.K. Holm is one of the most prominent people with my first and last name and he is not really that prominent! I'm astounded that he even showed up here. Sorry unregistered, but I hope you don't get those points.

I actually just did one last check for everyone's picks, and there should be one more row on that leaderboard:

JTS: 9 (Betty Driver)

No other changes, though.

Congrats to unregistered!

Dom was obv quite good at Dead Pool, but I gotta say: 7/15 is mighty impressive. Congrats, too, to abanana, who made it close.

2012

Good game, good game. Well done all!
