Thanks for that.

Not to start rumors or anything but does anyone know where Spex was when each of those celebs "died of natural causes"?


:D

What? No one had Gerry Rafferty?

Ahhh, Baker Street. Nice song.

Or Dick King-Smith, 88.
The Reaper's getting in early this year.

So, she's got one foot (plus some) in the grave already?

Clodfobble 01-17-2011 04:35 PM

Is it too late to get in? I always suck at this game, but I feel like Aretha Franklin and Michael Douglas are solid bets this year.

jimhelm 01-17-2011 05:30 PM

Sean Connery
John Madden
Betty White
Meatloaf
Regis
Wesley Snipes
Nancy Sinatra
Jacki Chan


i hope i get 0 points

monster 01-17-2011 05:51 PM

No not too late, cf, but you can't pick people who already died or lost limbs. Well I guess you can pick her, buy you get one less point 'cause the leg's already gone, I reckon :lol: Hell, I don't care, the more the merrier :D

Betty White's going to keep on forever I reckon. Unless someone shoots her. /palinmoment

@ pete, funny, but what's the betting it's being pickled and will eventually find it's way onto ebay or the morbid nasty equivalent?

footfootfoot 01-17-2011 07:48 PM

Julian Assange
Steve Jobs
Zsa Zsa

Yeah, prolly.

In one of Asimov's Hugo Winner books, he tells this story. Unfortunately I don't remember the SF author's name.

Some fan to author: Your stories can be depressing. Are you like that in real life?

SF author: On the contrary. I have the heart of a little boy...



...in a jar of formaldehyde on my desk.

I remember that as being Robert Bloch, who wrote Psycho.

I just came back to check if I had Mandela (hospitalized) and noticed that I said this year the score is 111-age, so Sundae must've got 2 or 3 points for the leg. Birthday next week, though.....
