Hillary or Bill
Nancy Pelosi
Elizabeth Warren
Al Sharpton
Mitt Romney
Jeb Bush

John Boner
Poppy Bush

 

[Wrong Element]

I couldn't get in on the excitement a year ago, because we had just moved, and I didn't want everyone at Starbucks to know I was predicting elderly people to die on a porn board.

But I am ready to belatedly defend my 2013 title. Or I will be as soon as I consult the Oracle.

Okay. Since they are obviously robots (either that, or they've been injected with massive amounts of preservatives), I've decided to throw caution to the wind and remove Betty White and Abe Vigoda from my list this time around. As well as the Royal Family members I had listed. Dolf and other Brits have convinced me: they won't pass on until they are at least 100 (I suspect preservatives at work here, too).

If any or all of them pass away in 2015, I'm blaming Bob... and possibly Dolf, as well. I said before that as long as Betty is on my list, she'll be fine.

[shrugs] Whelp... ...sorry, Betty.

Okay, here it is. Subject to change, of course, but for now...

Zsa Zsa Gabor

We need a judge's ruling: what happens if someone on our list dies between now and December 31? Do we (or must we) amend our list accordingly, or does it get credited as a 2015 death regardless?


I'm going to call this the Truman-Ford Rule, after the two aged presidents that died on December 26.

Very nice historical reference. I award a full 2 Internet points for the post.

The problem last year (as I viewed it from the bottom of the heap) is that *some* people listed stiffs that nobody ever heard of. My great uncle twice removed was in a school play and is on a ventilator, with the plug scheduled to be pulled January 1. I'm going to list him!

*ahem*


You can make changes to your list at any time before 12/31/2014.

Aha. Thank you.

That's not true.

There were 3-4 entries I didn't recognize, I googled them and found they were sorta kinda famous in backwaters like Canada and Great Britain.

Hell, Queersetti regularly eulogizes scads of folks I've never heard of....and remember, I'm a man of wealth and taste.

If someone has a Wikipedia page, they're eligible. Or if someone is on Lit. I wouldn't want to disenfranchise Skiddles.
