Only an asteroid hitting the earth can help me now.
― Aimless, Saturday, 12 May 2012 11:11 (fourteen years ago)
No, thanks for posting here, too. I wouldn't have seen it otherwise, and now Elvis Telecom has 11 points.
― Carrie Antwoord (jaymc), Saturday, 12 May 2012 14:04 (fourteen years ago)
Raven Alexis didn't have cancer lol
I'd be impressed if Raven faked her illness and recovery for no other reason than to troll dead pool betters.

Am waiting for the fall to kill off my old people and the holiday season to drive my depressives to suicide. I am still in it to win it.

Updated for al-Megrahi.

Yup, just now updated for Gibb, too. You're in the top 5, Simon.

An Ariel Sharon for this year's pool pickers.

some folk due points for Geoffrey Hughes (not me, though I had him last year).
― ailsa, Saturday, 28 July 2012 16:36 (thirteen years ago)
Added, thx.

Ernest Borgnine also died.
― abanana, Saturday, 28 July 2012 22:09 (thirteen years ago)
Now updated for Borgnine as well.
― Trewster Dare (jaymc), Saturday, 28 July 2012 22:23 (thirteen years ago)
so does Dom hold the all-time record (327 points in 2010)? it's gonna be hard to beat, but I'll do my best...
― starfish succulents (unregistered), Saturday, 28 July 2012 23:02 (thirteen years ago)
Andy Williams, Michael Dokes, Aditya Dev. RIP. Gimme points.
― obamana (abanana), Wednesday, 26 September 2012 14:42 (thirteen years ago)
No idea who Dokes or Dev are, but OK. You're now in the lead!

I hit one last night. Bummed about the death, but gimmee the points.
― Three Word Username, Friday, 19 October 2012 07:34 (thirteen years ago)
I went long, hoping for a massive year of young celebrity death, but unfortunately it's mostly been awesome old people this year.
― sorcery is in the gutter (how's life), Friday, 19 October 2012 09:29 (thirteen years ago)
Bump for my dang points.
― Three Word Username, Monday, 22 October 2012 16:32 (thirteen years ago)
Easy, easy. Got it. (David S. Ware, I assume? Weirdly both of the dudes you scored points on were 62 y/o.)
― Sandy Denny Real Estate (jaymc), Monday, 22 October 2012 17:33 (thirteen years ago)
Welp, guess I know how long I got left, then.

Updated for Larry Hagman.
― Jake Roo (jaymc), Saturday, 24 November 2012 15:45 (thirteen years ago)
Bumping for my Maurice Herzog points.
― Elvis Telecom, Saturday, 15 December 2012 21:41 (thirteen years ago)
Now updated for Herzog, Ravi Shankar, and Patrick Moore.
As the year draws to a close, I'll go through and see if there's anyone else I've missed. If you happen to know that I've missed one of your picks, feel free to mention it here.
― Sax Blatterday (jaymc), Wednesday, 19 December 2012 16:50 (thirteen years ago)
Elvis Telecom -- if we'd been scoring by the raw number of correct predix, you'd be tied for 3rd. With the age points factored in, you're 20th.
― Sax Blatterday (jaymc), Wednesday, 19 December 2012 16:53 (thirteen years ago)
So I won?
― abanana, Wednesday, 2 January 2013 06:54 (thirteen years ago)
