The 2011 Off Topic Celebrity Dead Pool

[-Jrabbit]

It's selfish and a bit unseemly to hold the lead all year long. Others should experience that unfettered joy.
I really only want to be ahead at the end.

RIP...

LOS ANGELES — Zsa Zsa Gabor returned to hospital for at least the fifth time this year on Tuesday after coughing up blood, a spokesman for the ailing actress said.

This is getting ridiculous. She'll probably outlive me. I'm probably on HER list and she's laying there cackling to herself.

[-Jrabbit]

A watched pot never boils.

Zsa Zsa knows this, and keeps you watching as much as possible.

[Wezil]

She is one tough old bird.

It's not an existence I would want but if she wants to keep hanging in there, power to her. I can wait.

One of HC's unique picks is on the ropes.

(CNN) -- Alassane Ouattara, the internationally recognized president of the Ivory Coast, on Thursday declared a curfew in Abidjan as forces loyal to him moved closer to taking control of the city.

In a televised appearance, Ouattara said the curfew will remain in effect until Sunday.

Later, his interior minister announced on radio that the air and sea borders of the country would be sealed until further notice.

The announcements came as Ivory Coast's internal war appeared to enter a decisive and final phase, with forces loyal to Ouattara making a final push to oust a defiant Laurent Gbagbo.

Ouattara's spokesman, Patrick Achi, told CNN that rebel forces were patrolling some streets of Abidjan and were fast closing in on Gbagbo, who refused to cede power after a disputed November election.

It will be only "hours, maybe days" before Gbagbo falls, Achi said. "The army does not want to fight for Laurent Gbagbo."

Will he allow himself to be captured?

[Al B. Sure!]

Will he allow himself to be captured?

Isn't it amazing how all the press that Egypt and Tunisia got and Libya is getting right now that stuff is happening in Sub-Saharan Africa and no one knows about it?

[Wezil]

Some of us know. HC was wise enough to see this coming and put both Ouattara and Gbagbo on his list.

My Death List are follows:
-Hugo Chavez
-Raul Castro
-Kim Jong Il
-Madonna
-Hu Kintao
-Amy Winehouse
20-Julio Iglesias

[Wezil]

You are either 3 months late or 9 months early.

[b etor]

If you're three months late, you're probably pregnant...

[Al B. Sure!]

My Death List are follows:
-Hugo Chavez
-Raul Castro
-Kim Jong Il
-Madonna
-Hu Kintao
-Amy Winehouse
20-Julio Iglesias

Why hasn't he been banned yet?

And Julio Iglesias? What is he doing on a death list? As far as I know, he's still going strong.

[-Jrabbit]

Why should we care? Seriously. If people got banned on Poly for starting a bunch of worthless threads, this place would be even more full of crickets.

[SlowwHand]

Al is the Cricket King.

[Wezil]

And Julio Iglesias? What is he doing on a death list? As far as I know, he's still going strong.

That would be a better pick than all of yours combined.
