Shaw, Monster, and Classic score 32 each for Liz Taylor. 79 is young = big points.

footfootfoot 03-23-2011 03:26 PM

damn. I saw her in the tabloids last week and thought I should add her.

I thought it was 100-(age of death)=points
100-79=21
Wouldn't that be 21 points?

Celebrities were dying old last year, the points were boring ;)

I'll ask beest if he'd like to slip you a little something

Put it in a tank, and foot can go meet the guy with the truck.

I'm not coming back to this thread until a celebrity dies.

Elizabeth Taylor died from congestive heart failure on March 23, 2011


monster 03-24-2011 10:14 PM

you didn't read the previous page then? :rolleyes:

Sundae 05-02-2011 03:59 AM

A couple of Obamas but no Osamas.
Shame - he would have been a big points winner.

monster 05-02-2011 07:15 AM

Maybe we should all get 10 points anyway. A trickle-down from the major, major points bounty on his head. What, that was dollars? Will the soldiers involved get that cash then? How do they decide who gets a share?

Sorry, Seve :(

Seve. Damn.

I always play Seve (w/blue sweater) when we play Tiger Woods golf on PS2.

Macho Man Randy Savage Dies In Car Accident
Quote:

Savage was 58.

Macho Man began wrestling in the WWF in 1985 and became a superstar with his trademark catchphrase "Ooooooh Yeaahhhhh." Savage was so popular, he became the spokesperson for Slim Jim in the mid '90s ... and became virtually synonymous with the brand.

UPDATE: Florida Highway Patrol tells TMZ ... Savage was driving his 2009 Jeep Wrangler when he veered across a concrete median ... through oncoming traffic ... and "collided head-on with a tree."

Savage was transported to Largo Medical center, where he died from his injuries.

Savage's wife was a passenger in the vehicle during the collision -- but survived with "minor injuries." She was transported to a different local hospital where she was treated.
Damn - lotta points lost there.
So sad... I wonder what caused him to veer across the road.

infinite monkey 05-20-2011 12:36 PM

Whoa. wow. That is a shocker. :(

Heart attack

glatt 05-20-2011 12:53 PM

Wikipedia says it was a heart attack. He may have been dead before the swerve.

Edit: Curse you Foot3! You may have won this time, but I'll get you when you least expect it.

footfootfoot 05-20-2011 01:03 PM

mwwwwaaaahhaaahhaa!

Haystacks Calhoun smashed a folding chair over his head.

infinite monkey 05-20-2011 01:47 PM

He's probably up there hobnobbing with Pampiro Furpo.

Eh, some of us will see him tomorrow anyway.

glatt 05-27-2011 02:58 PM

Poor guy. Life wasn't treating him so well lately.

infinite monkey 05-27-2011 03:26 PM

Yeah.

Before we hear from some holier-than-thou how he deserved to die from his addictions, I'd like to post this tribute (the final dance scene in Grease...another one of my favorite dance scenes.)

Dr Death Dies
 
Jack Kevorkian

Dr. Jack Kevorkian died early this morning, at the age of 83. He passed away all by himself, not by any devices he created to help the process along. Known as Dr. Death, the Michigan pathologist died eight days after his 83rd birthday, at the Beaumont Hospital in Michigan, from pneumonia and a kidney-related ailment.

Sundae 07-11-2011 01:20 PM

YAY!
I was stood in the shower this morning trying to remember whether I had her this year; I knew I had at some point.

I'm having a storming year!
Not from a points point of view, but from a prediction of death/ aputation one.

I might manage to get Thatch yet.

infinite monkey 07-13-2011 11:05 AM

It's the story...or a tale
Of a lovely lady...or of our castaways...

You're telling me nobody in this thread had Amy Winehouse.

How many points have been given up in this oversight.

monster 07-23-2011 11:44 AM

http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-14262237

wow. people used to have her I think. I guess we all gave up. mega-points!

Griff 07-23-2011 11:46 AM

We are not nearly as hip as we think. Horrific oversight.

lookout123 07-23-2011 01:18 PM

Amy Winehouse anyone? Nope. Noone. How did we miss this very obvious opportunity?

footfootfoot 07-23-2011 03:25 PM

I can't believe the year's over and I haven't gotten a single celeb. I demand a recount.

monster 07-23-2011 05:07 PM

yeah, I looked back, I had her in 2009. it's my fault she died 'cause I kicked her off the list. Same for Michael Jackson and Seve Ballesteros

No one's mentioned Charles Aaron "Bubba" Smith's passing yet? My best and favorite memory of him was as Sgt. Hightower... never shot anyone but had this way of making bad guys not want to mess with him.

footfootfoot 10-05-2011 08:31 PM

*cough*55points*cough*

monster 10-05-2011 09:08 PM

Sundae: 21

classicman 10-05-2011 09:17 PM
