[Fire-Babe]

I hope you guys are happy, by the way. A celebrity doesn't die these days that my friends and some family members don't 1. call me about, and 2. ask me the points. On the upside, I can subtract from 100 in my head pretty much without thinking about it.

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.

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. 2011. 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.

[The Jewish Cunthead]

What happened to the idea of a Dead Pool draft?

[Fire-Babe]

I said I wasn't doing it, but if you guys wanted to, go right ahead.

[The Jewish Cunthead]

It's all good, I'm down with the regular pool.

[Fire-Babe]

yeah, I don't care how y'all come up with your lists, I just don't want to run a draft (and it's prolly too late to get one together for this anyway).

More importantly....YOU all don't want me to run a draft. I'd be a malevolent dictator.

[creepy]

Thanks for my rule.
After the only people that showed interest were me, Gator, who I tagged and I knew would be down, and you, Solly, who I asked and knew would be down, I just said screw it. Somebody will come up with that idea in a year or so and every body will cream their jeans on the idea. Sending my list now.

[Deadly]

I'm definitely in on this again. You'll get my list at some point soonish.

[Matte]

Just sent in my list.

[The Jewish Cunthead]

List sent

[Beer Baron]

I'm in. Compiling my list right now! At the deadline!

[Deadly]

Sent mine, with an entire hour to spare!

[Fire-Babe]

Okay, lists are posted. PLEASE check your PMs, too, as a few of you need to clarify which Billy Graham is which.

[Angle]

Etta James died this morning at the age of 73. Matte (#2), Baron (#18) and I (#1) had her on our lists.

[Fire-Babe]

I think this might be the earliest anyone's hit since I've been running it.

[Angle]

Baron may be getting another off his list very soon. Joe Paterno's in serious condition right now, and appears to be close to death.

[Pun]

Baron jumps out to a commanding lead.

[Fire-Babe]

That's two days in a row I've had to do math.

Also, Beer Baron, is your Billy Graham the wrestler or the evangelist? I can't remember if I asked you, and if I did, what you said.

[Fire-Babe]

There are news stories now circulating that "He's not quite dead yet." I'm not going to undo everything I just did. If he's still not dead tomorrow morning I will.

He's getting better!

[Fire-Babe]

And...now it's official.

[Beer Baron]

Taking the lead! I have a feeling a few more will fall on my list before the year hits the half way mark.

As for the Billy Graham controversy, I believe I said mine was the preacher man.

[Lou]

Anyone have Solly?

[Fire-Babe]

I can't believe none of us had Whitney.

Let this be a lesson. Just because they're drug free for a couple of years, doesn't mean you take them off your list.

[Beer Baron]

Well call me butter, cause I'm on a roll!

RIP Gary Carter

The FBI will be at your house shortly, BB.
