    Lot of suckers.

      Also, Sam Simon has passed away.

      Nine-time Emmy winner Sam Simon, who wrote episodes of “Taxi,” “Cheers” and “It’s Garry Shandling’s Show” before co-creating landmark animated series “The Simpsons” and eventually becoming a philanthropist, died Sunday of colorectal cancer at his home in Los Angeles. He was 59 and was diagnosed with terminal cancer in late 2012.

            6. The Panel Judge will not determine if the submitted celebrity is currently alive. If you choose someone that is already dead you will be stuck with that celebrity on your list unless you notice and report the error prior to January 1st, 2015. If you still have available celebrities from your Reserve List one will be moved up to replace the already deceased choice prior to the start of the Pool.
            You needed to PM me about them. I would have removed them and moved up your reserves if I had noticed that they were deceased. PMing ensures that I notice.

                Very sad news. Aged 66, diagnosed with Alzheimer's 8 years ago.

                A huge loss. RIP.

                    • I suspect it'll prove to be suicide, possibly assisted.

                        • Despite his support for assisted suicide, that's not how he went.

                          • I have a signed copy of one of his books. I got it signed at the national book festival back in 2006 I think. Next year he was diagnosed with Alzheimers.

                            Also holy **** his arms were hairy.

                            • Very fitting for the end of Terrys book of life:
                              Tamsin (Lost Girl): "I am the Harbinger of Death. I arrive on winds of blessed air. Air that you no longer deserve."
                              Tamsin (Lost Girl): "He has fallen in battle and I must take him to the Einherjar in Valhalla"

                                I'm dubious. In physical terms, he was in good shape pretty recently. It could have been a stroke, but my money is still on suicide.
