Default dirt nap Pool 2010 Pool 1

It's that time again. Make your picks for which celebrities will die in 2010. The rules are simple:

a) the person must be a celebrity "now" and not become a celebrity because of their death

b) the person cannot be a death row inmate

c) you cannot kill anyone on your list

d) the celebrity cannot be dead before you post your picks and/or cannot be dead before 1/1/10. If one or more of your picks dies after your list is posted but before 1/1/10, those picks are thrown out and you must replace (only) those names with other celebrity picks.

e) the celebrity must be human (no animals)

f) points are awarded by subtracting the age of the dead celebrity from 100 (50 year old gets you 50 points, 80 year old gets you 20 points, etc.)

g) you are responsible for updating the forum and your points when one of your picks kicks the bucket

h) one list per
i) Your list must include 10 people (no more, no less)

j) Conjoined twins count as ONE person. The points awarded will be 100 minus the age of ONE twin

k) If you find Celebrity Dead Pool morbid or distasteful, don't play.

Good luck! HOOVES

Congrats, it looks like you put your time to good use.

I challange Dick Clark. I contend that he's already dead and that they just wheel him out every New Years eve.

I'll bet they have families that care about them like you must do about your Dad. Poor taste man. Reconsider this bullshit thread in 2011 now that you are with your Dad in Hospice.

No, there is not. This place allows posters to poke fun at dead people, poster's families etc etc.. So called moderators leaving crap up about all this kinda so called comedy.

I don't want a part of it and quite frankly am walking away now.

I'll see who I wanna see down the road. And up the road at Saratoga.

Send me my "This is my last post t-shirt" and call it a day.

Curt: this place has been largely supportive of your trials and trevails, as I recall! I wouldn't be so quick as to do the "last post" thingy..it always has a way of biting you in the butt.

way to call him out when you could and take 'poor taste' to the lowest level possible (personal and timely) You cried like a biatch when I mentioned your G-ma in a good light (you were traveling and she was alive and not in hospice). Steve B never stepped a foot in this thread and probably doesn't have the time never mind desire and to blame him and moderators? Never had a problem w/you before and proud of your sobriety but don't let the door hit you in the a$$ on your way out and wear that T-shirt proudly at Toga!

Salute!

Don't let the proverbial door hit you on the backside, rabbit ears.

Wipe the tears from your eye the next time you genuflect, which by my watch is any minute now. Thicken your skin up, woman.
