With the recent passing of Dick Clark, Levon Helm, and now Chuck Colson, most internet Death Pools are being reloaded this week....

So there is no better time to start a Boneyard Death Pool, especially considering that it is the off season and everything...

Since you can't do anything without a few rules....

Here's the rules:

1. Your pick has to be living when picked. Also, nobody whose execution date is circled on the calendar.
2. Pick a celebrity. Any celebrity — though I reserve the right to nix picks I never heard of (I don’t generally follow the Dead Pool threads carefully, so if you’re unsure of your pick, call it to my attention).
3. We start from scratch every time. So if we have another pool, no matter who you had previous time, or who you may have called between rounds, you have to turn up on this very thread and stake your claim.
3. Poaching and other dirty tricks positively encouraged.
4. Your first choice sticks. If you blurt out something stupid, you are stuck with it.
5. It’s up to you to search the thread and make sure your choice is unique. I’m waayyyy too lazy to catch the dupes. Popular picks will go fast.
6. The pool stays open until somebody on the list dies. People can jump in any time. Noobs, strangers, drive-bys and one-comment-wonders — all are welcome.
7. If you want your fabulous prize, you have to entrust me with a mailing address. If you don’t want the fabulous prize, you’re too smart to be a regular. It might me forever to put the prize in the mail. Packages go by slow boat.
8. The Death Pool is now open.

This round's prize?

A genuine, limited edition "BYC IX" baseball cap....(be the envy of your neighborhood!)

Pick whomever you want.... (Mark Emmert is probably a losing pick, but he deserves to die, so wishfull thinking is also positively encouraged....)

Ok, I've thrown two old guys out there in Mickey Rooney and Ernest Borgnine. As someone mentioned, old guys are too easy. Here's my young one: Macaulay Culkin. Something just isn't right with that guy.

No kidding. He was only 43. Only a few years older than me.

Now is the time to reflect on all the poor choices during the first thread, and try to learn from this event and pick better for round 2 (which thread initiated or not, started about 12 hours ago).

I fear that you have violated Rule 1....

1. Your pick has to be living when picked.

The only question I have is whether jfuchs91 and Chin get an additional pick, or whether they are DSQ, for violating Rule 1, Section 1.

In all likelyhood, I follow the NCAA guidelines; and make a totally arbitrary decision, based entirely upon how pissy I am feeling about someone at a given moment in time, weighed alongside how badly I can make my arbitrary ruling impact outcomes.

Need to stop these violations, the NCAA will find another reason to dock another scholarship.

Make it arbitrary and retroactive! I also wanted in on the Dick Cheney pick.
 
With one thread, dozens and dozens of posters step ahead of me on the line to Hell.

The line may appear to be long, but it moves at a pretty rapid pace....


I don't think you will have too much to worry about....
