2008 Dead Pool

Put me down for Amy Winehouse and her freak hubby (bonus pts., no?)

And...

Farrah Fawcett

Artie Lange

Steve O

Rick Springfield

Gotta be a surprise celeb death...

Regis Philban
 
You people saying Amy Winehouse need to take some risks. That's shooting fish in a barrel.

My 2007 dead pool struck gold with Lady Bird Johnson, but since Nicole Richie not only didn't die but is actually bringing a new life into the world, it's almost like they cancel out.

I think I'll wait for the official end of the year to post my list, just in case Amy doesn't make it to the dropping of the ball. We might get more huge holiday deaths like Gerald Ford and James Brown this year.
 
1. Fidel Castro
2. Nancy Reagan
3. Paul Harvey
4. Charlton Heston
5. Yoko Ono
6. Andy Rooney
7. Chuck Berry
8. Pope Ratzi the Nazi
9. Abe Vigoda
10. Suzanne Pleshette
11. Ishmael
 
Whitney Houston, Prince Phillip and 4 Eastern European leaders dont know which... but you are always certain of a smattering of small country's leaders............. if ill health or there own people dont get them .... Bush will
 
I think this game is disgusting and offensive. Each one of those people is someone's loved one, someone's friend.
 
Britney Spears

Barack Obama

Osama Bin Laden (no, really)

Pamela Anderson
 
burnt houses are hardly the same thing as dead people.

silly girl.

Of course, you're right...most major forest fires have no human impact, and are a suitable subject for mocking, vs. (say) the inevitable death of elderly and high risk figures.

oops, this just in:

Oct. 26, 2006: Five U.S. Forest Service firefighters are killed in the Esperanza fire in Southern California's Jacinto Mountains. The fire burns 40,200 acres and destroys 54 buildings, including 34 houses.

March 12-13, 2006: Wind-driven wildfires consume nearly a million acres of grassland and several hundred structures in the drought-stricken Texas Panhandle. The fires are blamed for at least 11 deaths, four of them in a crash on a smoke-shrouded highway.

Sept. 12, 2004: One firefighter killed and six others injured when the relatively small blaze they were fighting in Northern California's rugged Stanislaus National Forest overruns the crew.

Oct. 25, 2003: The Cedar fire in Southern California's Cleveland National Forest (San Diego County) kills 15 people and burns more than 300,000 acres, destroying 2,400 homes and inflicting an estimated $800 million in damage.

July 23, 2003: Two firefighters die when they are overrun by flames soon after being dropped by helicopter to battle a fast-moving blaze in the Salmon-Challis National Forest in central Idaho.

July 10, 2001: Firefighters Tom Craven, 30; Devin Weaver, 21; Jessica Johnson, 19; and Karen FitzPatrick, 18, die while battling the 9,500-acre Thirty Mile wildfire in a rugged area of the North Cascades.
 
i don't think "lots and lots of forest fires" equates to "rich people's houses got burnt" either.

regardless, i think you're missing a few pieces of the joke.

Ah. You're saying the rich people's houses DIDN'T get burnt in a forest fire...?

Nope, sorry, they did indeed burn just that way.

BTW, care to guess again at my sex, O perceptive profile reader? Or were you signing your post as 'silly girl'?
 
sorry i wasn't interested enough to click on your profile. i just guessed you were a chick cos you sounded like a whiny little girl. my bad. :)


i think you're missing the point again. forest fires are bad. people dying in forest fires are bad. people dying is bad.

rich people's houses getting burnt...just not that bad. specially not compared with all those deaths that you spent an hour researching - right? (that was so sweet of you btw. i totally wouldn't have known fires kill people if you hadn't dedicated lots of time researching evidence to show me.)


and once again - this is becoming a theme - i think you're missing the joke a little.
 
Maybe I should type more slowly for you...the only joke here is marshalt's sudden interest in caring for others and propriety. Sorry if the post I found in thirty seconds wasn't cynical enough for you, but the dead pool is a silly target to begin with. Now shoo.
 
By god, he gets it.

Oh, wait...no, he still doesn't. :)
