OT: 2017 Celebrity Death Pool

[storrsroars]

I used to watch F Troop in syndication when I was a kid, but I'm 56 now. Ten years can make a big difference in popular culture.

Put me down for Donald Trump, natural causes.

Yeah... when I was dating, I drew a hard line between women who remembered the original Looney Tunes cartoons vs the post-Mel Blanc/PC versions. It made a huge difference when I'd break out Bugs Bunny references.

Here to help... Dead Pool rules and scoring system

I look at the lists those people posted and even I don't recognize a quarter of them. Looks like they didn't play in 2016?

Second on Trump, and I don't care how.

May want to take a flyer on Jared Fogle.

 

[junglehusky]

Maybe not "celebrity" per se, but I'll take Alex Honnold. Free climber.

Keith Jackson.

Rose Bowl interview is rough.

Keith Jackson.

Rose Bowl interview is rough.

Came here to see if someone posted this. Very Dick Clark like interview.

 

[tzznandrew]

I'm taking the easy money and body count over points. Nobody on this list under 90.

Olivia deHavilland
Professor Irwin Corey
Carol Channing
Doris Day
Monty Hall
Kirk Douglas
Nanette Fabray
Bill Macy
Larry Storch
Eva Marie Saint

We go by the rules listed above (100-age equals points) you'll lose points if Corey dies.

Anyway, my list:
Burt Reynolds
Cher
Montel Williams
Cloris Leachman
Dianne Feinstein
Mary Tyler Moore
Orrin Hatch
Regis Philbin
Lawrence Taylor
Hacksaw Jim Duggan

That was sad. I just wanted it to end.

Actually reminded me of a few Arnold Palmer interviews last year around his Bay Hill tourney and the Master's.

More than the trouble with thoughts and words, the body looked shot.

Keith ain't dyin'.



But John Maddon will.

Keith Jackson.

Saw that. Most of us grew up with Keith doing games. Whoa Nellie, was his saying. Others I remember were Dick Engberg and Oh, my. Did Verne Lundquist have a go to phrase?

I wasn't much of a college football fan until UConn went D-1A... but I'd watch any game Keith was doing... maybe only for just a few plays. Very few like him, enhanced the actual game so much.

 

[Jimmy Serrano]

Keith Jackson.

Rose Bowl interview is rough.

Serious question did he recently have a stroke? That was very uncomfortable.

 

[NavinRJohnson]

Came here to see if someone posted this. Very Dick Clark like interview.

That was going to be my guess after that interview. Rough to watch and listen to.

 

[Chin Diesel]

Seriously???

It would be way better start to 2017 than 2016.

Chucky M batting leadoff??

Charles Manson seriously ill, moved to hospital, sources say

This reads more like a list of people I'm surprised to see are still alive.

It would be auspicious indeed.

Who had Superfly?

A bit of a layup in that he was real sick and had dementia.

As a kid I had three posters on my ceiling. Geoge Gervin in the silver sweats on his Ice Man throne, Daryll Griffith as Dr. Dunkenstein and Jimmy "Superfly" Snuka flying off the top rope.

WWE Hall of Famer Jimmy 'Superfly' Snuka dead at 73

Dianne Feinstein is the oldest US Senator at 83 but just had a pacemaker put in. I'm thinking she'll be around for a long, long time.

Damn. I hadn't realized he was still alive. He dated my uncle's sister for a while, and was at a beach house with us for July 4th a few times. An odd duck.

Not that I'm happy she's dead, but I got one.

Well, you know what you have to do now... "a little song, a little dance, a little seltzer down your pants."

My money's on Mary Tyler Moore and Larry King.
