Dead Pool 2015

[Colonel Hogan]

So far, it seems to have been a slow year for death. Not sure what that means in the greater scheme of things.

That the rapture is impending, most likely. We shall all go with a quickening.

You hope. Based on what I've read, you don't want to be around here for the "after party."

Did you ever think this IS the "after party"?

 

[CaptainKirk]

Half my freakin' list is made up of 1960's space pioneers and moonwalkers and the pretend intergalactic traveler is the one that dies. Almost as bad as my having Mondale last year and his wife is the one that kicks off. (be warned Annie Glenn!)

I'm beginning to think being on my list guarantees you another twelve months of hanging around the planet.

I thought the same thing for Betty White and Abe Vigoda. They're not on my list this time around.

...uh oh.

[Aquagal]

2nd place!

 

[Lorilei]

Who the hell is Sam Simon?

 

[RobDownSouth]

Who the hell is Sam Simon?

Co-creator of the Simpsons. He led a very interesting life.

 

[Aquagal]

He was my bonus pick.

 

[Lorilei]

Co-creator of the Simpsons. He led a very interesting life.

Oh, ok. Thanks.

 

[Killswitch]

He was my bonus pick.

Id be leading actually but my list is being ignored.

 

[Aquagal]

You RSVP'd too late to the party.

 

[RoryN]

Id be leading actually but my list is being ignored.

You RSVP'd too late to the party.

Yes. Also, his list is being ignored because it's full of death row inmates.

Everyone else had enough common sense to recognize this as an obviously forbidden tactic. But, you know...KS.

 

[Beco]

Co-creator of the Simpsons. He led a very interesting life.

sad news indeed...

 

[Beco]

Id be leading actually but my list is being ignored.

dont sweat it, there is no prize given for the winner....

 

[Mr Noone]

Oh, ok. Thanks.

We're tied!

 

[Beco]

Jake LaMotta — the former middleweight boxing champ who inspired Martin Scorsese’s classic “Raging Bull” — has undergone pacemaker surgery at 92.

His days are numbered, but maybe not this year....

 

[Lorilei]

We're tied!

Woohoo!

 

[RoryN]

Interesting note: "Baghdad Bob" is apparently on his deathbed...

 

[Wrong Element]

Interesting note: "Baghdad Bob" is apparently on his deathbed...

Bullshit. Baghdad Bob himself swears he's never felt better.

The chair rules that pun to be out of order.

 

[JohnnySavage]

I think this is going on my third year without picking a singe dead celeb (n.b. that I pick celebs that someone has actually heard of). I'm thinking about selling spots on my next year's list.
