The Boneyard Death Pool - Round 2

[Dove]

I'm going for big points...Snooky

 

[temery]

Richard Dawson

And so ends the Boneyard Death Pool – Round 1.

ZennConn picked Robin Gibb and Mr. Gibb has joined the choir everlasting.

So today begins Round 2….and here are 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. No matter who you had last time, or who you may have called between rounds, you have to turn up on this very thread and stake your claim.
4. Poaching and other dirty tricks positively encouraged.
5. Your first choice sticks. Don’t just blurt something out, m’kay?
6. 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 go fast.
7. The pool stays open until somebody on the list dies. Feel free to jump in any time. Noobs, strangers, drive-bys and one-comment-wonders — all are welcome.
8. 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 takes me forever to put them in the mail, packages go by slow boat. It might take a few weeks.

The fabulous prize?

A somewhat rare, “some-of-a-kind”, left over from the BYC a few years back, gen-you-ein, BYC IX baseball cap. (WOOT!) Plus whatever meager bragging rights attach….

Well!

Get busy!

[Fishy]

How are you feeling, prankster?

 

[UConnChapette]

Survey says...no one picked R ichard Dawson. The game goes on...

 

[prankster]

How are you feeling, prankster?

Better than Richard Dawson!

 

[Dogbreath2U]

temery has Richard Dawson....was that after the fact?

 

[prankster]

temery has Richard Dawson....was that after the fact?

Nope!

Clean win for Tom....!

Tom -
If you want your semi-valuable, collectible BYC baseball hat.... PM me with a mailing address...

We will start round 3 later this week...

 

[temery]

I kinda cheated. You said cheating was encouraged. I was just following your lead.

Bravo! That's the spirit.

 

[prankster]

You cheated last time, too! When you stole the Zsa Zsa pick from jfuchs91, and stuck him with pre-deceased Eva.

Cheat, if you feel you have to. It is just a game to everyone else.

I just figured you are having some kind of self esteem crisis and need to feel like a winner. Whatever you need to help you cope with your crisis of confidence ......You know we are here to help you.

AND THE WINNER IS.......(drum roll).......

TOM!

 

[Chin Diesel]

These pools are pretty much a crap shoot and only WAGs will win.

There's so many people who are alive in this world.

Who can possibly keep track of all these living folks. I thought Richard Dawson died like a decade ago.

Same thing with this Bradbury guy that died today. Thought he was dead too.

Only fair way of doing this is to have a valid, current list of all living people to select from.

I really thought Richard Dawson died a while ago too.

 

[Dove]

I really thought Richard Dawson died a while ago too.

Yeah, I thought he died of infectious mononucleosis (the kissing disease)
