Rules

1. Twenty names of "celebrities" or other newsworthy people. I believe Death Pool Dave defines this as anyone for whom the AP would publish an obituary.

1a. Be specific. There are two Billy Grahams and there are two Jerry Lewises. There's probably others.

1b. If it's someone important-but-obscure, it's your job to tell me if they die. With link.

2. Points: (100-age) + inverse ranking. (So if you ranked them first, you get 20 points added)

3. Lists to me via PM by midnight, EST, December 31, 2013. I'll post them all here after they are all in.

4. If you send me your list and a person on it dies BEFORE the deadline, you can substitute.

5. The Creepy Rule: Send me your list in order from your number one pick to your number 20 pick. You can list them by order or by point value, but who ever is on top (or immediately to the left if you decide to get cute and put them all in a big line) is your number one pick.

11.5 more hours!!

[Angle]

Fire, I sent an updated list just now, wanted to switch one of the names out. Hoping thats alright.

[Fire-Babe]

It's all good 'til it's posted

[Deadly]

Finally sent mine in.

[Fire-Babe]

I am an idiot who can't tell the difference between delete all and apparently whatever it was i was trying to do...hence...i have lost all the deadpool picks if you would kindly resend that would be great. I'm going to go bang my head into to the patio door repeatedly until the glass shatters.

ETA: Disregard...google chrome rocks for the back-arrow history. Make sure I didn't skip yours! Once the first death happens, no fixing!

[Fire-Babe]

www.nydailynews.com/entertainment/james-avery-fresh-prince-bel-air-father-dies-65-article-1.1563487

Not on anyone's list, but I think it's the first year since I was running these that we actually had one on New Year's Day.

[Angle]

Uncle Phil is dead? Well, this year's already off to a bad start.

[Sportsguy]

Fire just curious what in the hell possessed you to not only put Adrian Peterson on your list, let alone second most likely to die?

[Fire-Babe]

He's my one of two longshots. I know he had one son die, but wasn't there some other tragedy or something?

[Fire-Babe]

I can't believe no one had Ariel Sharon...except maybe because, like me, you all also thought he was already toast.

[Angle]

Yeah, I thought Sharon had died years ago.

Well, we got a death tonight that was on someone's list, though. RIP Mae Young, 90 years old.

If I calculated correctly, that gets me 27 points.

[Fire-Babe]

and the professor and ruben kincaid Not sure anyone had them but still....

[wyattcox]

Shirley Temple sailed out on the last Good Ship Lollypop earning points for....no one...

[Fire-Babe]

yeah, it's slow going this year. Lots of deaths, but so far none that we picked, except Mae.

[wyattcox]

Crap, Creepy and Gator score with Sid Caeser, dead at 91.

[Fire-Babe]

No one had Viscera that I can see.

[Fire-Babe]

so much for that Ghostbusters reunion:

[Angle]

Fred Phelps is dead. Good riddance.

[Fire-Babe]

Interesting that none of us cared enough about him to bet on his 16 points.

My wish is that his name never be spoken of again, and that he is denied the immortality that remembrance brings. Let him lie, forgotten, in an untended and unmarked grave for all eternity.

Cattle die, kinsmen die,
Every man is mortal;
But the good name never dies
Of one who has done well

Cattle die, kinsmen die,
Every man is mortal;
But I know one thing that never dies
The glory of the great dead.

(thus the reverse is also true)

[wyattcox]

Gator and Beer Baron get points for Mickey Rooney passing at 93.

John Pinette -- he go now -- at 50. No points...

[The Canadian Content]

[Fire-Babe]

I could have sworn someone had Ultimate Warrior....let me know if I missed it.

[Fire-Babe]

as an aside, how sad is it that people have to ask for privacy.
