The Off Topic 2010 Celebrity Dead Pool

[embalmer42]

Sure as crap I picked him, one of my orginal picks I dropped for him would have dropped dead as a doornail and Mr Culp would have lived merrily on for another year (or until I dropped him from my list).


I'm starting to get peeved

Has it been brought up that if someone gets peeved and goes out and kills a celebrity, that doesn't count. The pick would be forfeited and you would be working with a short list. All other participants would collect any due points.

I think that if someone shows that sort of initiative that they ought to get the points they would have got if they didn't do the killing, plus 10 bonus points.

Daniel Boone was a man,
Yes, a big man!
With an eye like an eagle
And as tall as a mountain was he!

Daniel Boone was a man,
Yes, a big man!
He was brave, he was fearless
And as tough as a mighty oak tree!

From the coonskin cap on the top of ol' Dan
To the heel of his rawhide shoe;
The rippin'est, roarin'est, fightin'est man
The frontier ever knew!

Daniel Boone was a man,
Yes, a big man!
And he fought for America
To make all Americans free!

What a Boone! What a doer!
What a dream come-er-true-er was he!

Daniel Boone was a man!
Yes, a big man!
With a whoop and a holler
he c'd mow down a forest of trees!

Daniel Boone was a man!
Yes, a big man!
If he frowned at a river
In July all the water would freeze!

But a peaceable, pioneer fella was Dan
When he smiled all the ice would thaw!
The singin'est, laughin'est, happiest man
The frontier ever saw!

Daniel Boone was a man!
Yes, a big man!
With a dream of a country that'd
Always forever be free!

What a Boone! What a do-er!
What a dream-come-er-true-er was he!

Hold up, really? Who did I pick that died?

You finished 4th last year with 3 hits -

July 1 – Karl Malden (a unique pick)
August 25 – Ted Kennedy
September 14 – Patrick Swayze

I strongly suggest you pay a little extra for the good stuff TEF. It really is worth it.

I got a little skeezed by Natasha Richardson's death, went all high horsey and didn't come back last year.

Of course...if I had known I had a decent leaderboard position, I might have played. I'd probably jump a couple spots because Dennis Hopper would totally be on my list.

And what I smoke isn't up to me until I get my weed card. Then I can hit up one of the 1,123 dispenseries in the greater Los Angeles area and get my one ounce/day prescription

Rat's ass. I could have sworn I had him, but noooo.

[-Jrabbit]

I was certain he'd be on multiple lists. That's the only reason I posted it in this thread.
But noooo.

We have a Forsythe, just not that one.

John Forsythe was on 17 Derby lists.
