OFFICIAL 2016 APOLYTON CELEBRITY DEAD POOL

[Bereta_Eder]

Loukianos Kilaidonis, 73


One pig less


Έχει αμάξι, έχει σπίτι,
όλα τα `χει κι όμως πλήττει
και ξαφνικά παθαίνει συγκοπή.

He has got a car a house
He has everything and yet he's bored
and all of a sudden, he has a stroke


Ξέρει κόλπα, έχει θέσεις,
μετοχές και καταθέσεις
και ξαφνικά παθαίνει συγκοπή.

He knows tricks, has positions
shares and deposits
and all of a sudden he has a stroke

Γι’ αυτό σου λέω μη μου λες εμένα
για όλα αυτά τα μεγαλεία, τα παλάτια, τα λεφτά.
Γι’ αυτό σου λέω εγώ είμαι μια χαρά
να κλαις τον άλλονε λοιπόν το φουκαρά.

That's why I'm telling you, don't tell me
about grandiosities, palaces and money
That's why I'm telling you I'm just fine
cry over that other poor fellow

Εγώ, κορίτσι μου γλυκό, έχω εσένα
αντί γι’ αυτά τα μεγαλεία, τα παλάτια, τα λεφτά.
Εγώ κορίτσι μου είμαι μια χαρά
να κλαις τον άλλονε λοιπόν, τον φουκαρά.

I my sweet girl have you
instead of these grandiosities, the palaces the money
I my sweet girl I'm just gine
cry over that other poor fellow

Κονομάει, τη βγάζει φίνα,
στη Μαγιόρκα, στα καζίνα
και ξαφνικά παθαίνει συγκοπή.

He makes good dough, cruises
in mayorka, at casinos
and all of a sudden, he has a stroke

Κάνει μια ζωή στρωμένη,
με γυναίκα κι ερωμένη
και ξαφνικά παθαίνει συγκοπή.

He has a life paved out
with a wife and a mistress
and all of a sudden he has a stroke

Γι’ αυτό σου λέω μη μου λες εμένα
για όλα αυτά τα μεγαλεία, τα παλάτια, τα λεφτά.
Γι’ αυτό σου λέω εγώ είμαι μια χαρά
να κλαις τον άλλονε λοιπόν το φουκαρά.

Εγώ, κορίτσι μου γλυκό, έχω εσένα
αντί γι’ αυτά τα μεγαλεία, τα παλάτια, τα λεφτά.
Εγώ κορίτσι μου είμαι μια χαρά
να κλαις τον άλλονε λοιπόν, τον φουκαρά.

Γι’ αυτό σου λέω μη μου λες εμένα
για όλα αυτά τα μεγαλεία, τα παλάτια, τα λεφτά.
Γι’ αυτό σου λέω εγώ είμαι μια χαρά
να κλαις τον άλλονε λοιπόν το φουκαρά.

That's why I'm telling you, don't tell me
about grandiosities, palaces and money
That's why I'm telling you I'm just fine
cry over that other poor fellow

Εγώ, κορίτσι μου γλυκό, έχω εσένα
αντί γι’ αυτά τα μεγαλεία, τα παλάτια, τα λεφτά.
Εγώ κορίτσι μου είμαι μια χαρά
να κλαις τον άλλονε λοιπόν, τον φουκαρά.

I my sweet girl have you
instead of these grandiosities, the palaces the money
I my sweet girl I'm just fine
cry over that other poor fellow

[Ming]

Still looking for somebody to run the pool this year before we get too late in the New Year.
Any takers?

[embalmer42]

George Gaynes, Monte Irvin, and Cliff Michelmore all came to light during reconstruction. I also learned that Irvin's death predated Rene Angelil for the year's first blood, which I believe we had wrong last winter. (Embarrassing that I missed my own guy's death as well!)

I'm too busy to take this on right now; booked pretty solid through about 1/22. I've run this about 3 times and it's not that much trouble once it's set up. But I just don't have time for that initial organizing this year. Heck, I haven't even put a list together.

Anyone? Bueller??

I would be happy to try and play another year but I am simply too disorganized to be responsible for anything. The old "lead, follow or get out of the way" speech is always shortened to "follow or get the f**k out of my way" when people are talking to me.

Maybe the lad from the great state of Texas can step up to the plate and run things?

[SlowwHand]

A new list. Yikes! I have to get to looking !

[embalmer42]

I completely missed / forgot about George Gaynes. Thanks for catching that.

Thanks to Jrabbit for keeping the game on track this year and figuring everything out.

I assume that since no one else has stepped up to the plate to take charge, this won't be continuing next year? Ah well, all good things must come to an end sooner or later.

Be proud. It's a record-setting year for you!

Here are the preliminary scoring totals as of December 29. I still have to go through a check for bonus points, but the 2016 winner has never been in doubt:

1. 1,987 Bugs ****ing Bunny (10 hits; ties record)
2. 1,080 Ming (6 hits)
3. 1,031 SlowwHand (6 hits)
4. 987 -Jrabbit -- Vicious Rabbits (5 hits)
5. 553 Uncle Sparky -- Uncle Sparky's Creamytorium (3 hits)
6. 533 embalmer42 -- Death Takes A Holiday (3 hits)
7. 208 Lorizael -- Lori Einsteins (1 hit)
8. 178 Dinner (1 hit)

Edit/note: There are, in fact, some bonus points to be awarded (notably Unlucky 13 and You Can't Cheat Death). These will change some of the totals, but not the order of finish. Full details to come.

[Bugs ****ing Bunny]

Slightly embarrassed to say that I picked up another hit with the death of Ken Hechler on December 10th, aged 102. http://www.nytimes.com/2016/12/11/us...dead.html?_r=0

That puts me on 10 hits for the year.

[Proteus_MST]

First the daughter and then the mother?
(well, not unimaginable, considering the stress due to the untimely death of her daughter)

(all other media also have the news, so Debbie Reynolds death can be nsidered to be confirmed)

[Jon Miller]

Debbie Reynolds died?
