    If you're talking about Erma, the telephone operator in town, no, she doesn't count. Everyone in town knows her, I realize, but she just isn't allowed. Sorry.

                Yes
                "a) "Celebrity" means someone who, upon their death, gets a written obituary in a major, mainstream media news website. A good rule of thumb is “Celebrity = Name Recognition.” The Judges Panel should be able to look at the name and say “Oh, I know who that is,” without any prompting from the player. The Judges Panel should at least be able to find many references to the individual with a cursory online search."

                  Don't be too quick to put Bush, Sr. on your list. It's not a given that he'll make it to 2013.

                      I'm still working on the Kodak Krew in honor of that great company from Rochester, New York which bit the dust earlier this year.
