dead pool
Well... I'm in another death pool. Or dead pool. Or whatever you want to call it. Basically, you choose a number of celebs names who you think will die in the next year. Call me morbid (call me pale) but it's a quick and easy way to have fun. And no, I dont wish any of them dead. At least the ones I picked.
If you want to see who I picked...
Paul Harvey
Pope John Paul II
Dom Deluise
Queen Elizabeth II
Billy Graham
Ronald Reagan
Luther Vandross
Abe Vigoda
Bea Arthur
Charlton Heston
Originally, I was going to make it more fun, by picking a couple "sure things" and then a few funny ones. But then, I'd hate to see all four golden girls die in the same year. I did pretty well last year, but the game was different... it was based on first dead. This year it's based on total dead, so I had to pick more likely stars. (And not being mean to Neekole, by bringing this up, but NOBODY put Jon Brandis on their list... he wasnt even a long shot.) Some other versions play by likelihood of death, awarding points based on closeness to age 100. For instance, if Johnthan Taylor Thomas died this year, he would be worth more points than say, the Pope. But, again, that's not how we're playing. Most out of ten wins this one. And of course, having not done my research, I should've removed Luther from my list, since it seems he's not quite as bad off as he was. Bea got left on since she seems the most ancient of the Girls. Dom was my long shot last year, so I'm sticking with him.
It was really tough, and I left off a TON of others I wanted. But, now it's set, and I must wait and watch E!News to see if I win.
Now, my friend Dave, who I'm playing against, picked the following:
Sam 'Smoke' Salemi aka Sam Dana
Rosa Parks
Jerry Lewis
Jerry Lee Lewis
The Pope
Ernest Borgnine
Ronald Reagan
Gerald Ford
Louis Farrahkan
Al Lewis (Grandpa Munster)
