[stonesfan]

My team is submitted! Good Luck to everyone! I hope to be more competitive this year.

Donegeal and stonefan are registered.


Get your teams in guys. The DEADline is only hours away...

[Guynemer]

I can't wait to see everyone's lists! There's always at least 4 or 5 names that I think, "Jesus ****ing Christ, why didn't I think of that?"

[Wezil]

Seeing who people pick is the amusing part of my job. My database of sick and old celebrities is pretty extensive at this point but every now and then I need to look up a birthdate for a new candidate and when I do I usually take a look to see why they were selected. I get a few of those "JFC!" reactions in the process.

Gary Carter was last year's great pick (Coldwizard if I'm not mistaken) and I knew when I registered the team Carter was going to pay off.

[SlowwHand]

There are a couple of people I'd like to take off my list just to make sure they die.

[Guynemer]

There are a couple of people I'd like to take off my list just to make sure they die.

You and me both, Tex.

[Wezil]

If any of you are around when I post the 2013 game thread I ask that you allow me the first 5 posts or so uninterrupted. I need the space to lay out all the data.

Thanks.

Unto Wezil, Rabbit's redux rendered.

[Hauldren Collider]

Turned mine in about 30 minutes ago.

[Robert]

How many contenders this year?
Great work Wezil! I'm so glad that I don't have to check all those lists

[Wezil]

19 players this year.

17 registered, two to go.

2013 thread is going up soon. Have some patience as it will be rough to start. It takes some time to close out 2012 and update all the stats/lists.

In the meantime we can enjoy embalmer42's (always) unique entry for 2013...

I have finally given up on the rag-tag group of procrastinating buggers who seem resolutely determined not to die I picked previously and have selected a largely new list of people who will now likely take it in their minds to do the exact same thing.

(It may be best if you were listening to some Don Maclean when you were reading this)




A long, long time ago
A ghost appeared before my eyes and showed me the way
Though I thought it rather gruesome, it went far beyond a two-some,
Showing me famous people's final days....
No matter how I tried to run,
Darkness enveloped me, it wasn't fun
It was not my intention
I blame Satanic intervention
Celebrities about to bite it
There's no way that I could fight it
Much too late to try and right it
The list of doomed I will recite it...

So bye, bye it is their time to die
Few will cry or get high though some may celebrate with pie
Unlike Ted Bundy, none of these folks will fry
But all of them will still surely die, yes, all of them will still surely die

The first name on my awful list
Will cause some to go get good and pissed
But also some tears will flow
George H. W. Bush is sure to go
His last moments will be a show
And his son will hide his grief in a mound of snow
Larry King will be soon to follow, his heart gave out cause his wife wouldn't swallow
Television will be dark that day
But all will soon be OK
Except for a fellow who's had a hard life
Nelson Mandela will finally be free of strife
And someone for him will play the fife
Because a celebrity died

So bye, bye, it is their turn to die
Few will cry or get high though some may celebrate with pie
Unlike Ted Bundy, none of these folks will fry
But all of them will still surely die, yes, all of them will still surely die

Hugo Chavez is one who should watch the clock
His exit from Earth is a certain lock
And that would be fine with some
Margaret Thatcher won't be far behind
Racing Fidel Castro for the finish line
Those two should stop and have some fun
But sad news will come, causing many to shed
A tear or two, Kirk Douglas will be dead
Spartacus is no more, but the Wezil's still keeping score
And while Slowwhand rubs his hands with glee
Zsa Zsa Gabor collects her final fee
What will the final outcome be?
Because a Celebrity died

So bye, bye, it is their time to die
Few will cry or get high though some may celebrate with pie
Unlike Ted Bundy, none of these folks will fry
But all of them will still surely die, yes, all of them will still surely die

Bashar Assad will have a reason to be mad
His end will come but few will be awful sad
But still Syria won't be so free...
Shirley Temple once sang in key
But that won't help her when Death she'll see
Maybe she'll be remembered by the cast of Glee
Different Strokes had Conrad Bain
Lucky for him, he'll soon feel no pain
John Madden is quite annoyed,
Until he's done in by those killer hemorrohoids
Jim Nabors tried to sing a tribute song
But he held a high note just a little too long
Who among us can say he was wrong?
Because a Celebrity died

So bye, bye, it is their time to die
Few will cry or get high though some may celebrate with pie
Unlike Ted Bundy, none of these folks will fry
But all of them will still surely die, yes, all of them will still surely die

The Steroid Monster takes one more,
Alexander 'Buff' Bagwell won't be sore
Counted out for the very last time
Jerry's the first name, Sandusky the last
Few will mourn when he's breathed his last
Cause that's what happens when you do the crime
The Jefferson's I watched when I was a lad
I never thought that Marla Gibbs was bad
That won't save her now she's taken her last bow....
And as I prepared to go on the road, I was forced to take on another load
Willie Nelson had licked his final toad
Another Celebrity had died....

So bye, bye, it is their time to die
Few will cry or get high though some may celebrate with pie
Unlike Ted Bundy, none of these folks will fry
But all of them will still surely die, yes, all of them will still surely die

I climbed to the top of Blueberry Hill, looking for one final thrill
Fats Domino had passed away
As the year drew to an end, the homless lost one final friend
Jimmy Carter finally met his Judgement Day
I raised my fist up to the sky
And raged at Death for the lie
For I thought that he was done, but he wanted one last bit of fun
Because as the year drew to an end, to the other side he did send
Hugh Hefner, the one man I wanted as a friend
The Best Celebrity had died....

It left me singing
Bye, bye, will all the Celebrities die?
I'll give a sigh or might cry depending on where in the points list I lie
I've done my best now it's up to the Celebrities - oh my
Is it wrong to hope at least some of them die?
Is it wrong to hope at least some of them die?

[Tuberski]

ACK!
