No way!?

I'll find another clip

DanaC 01-01-2013 08:54 AM

Try this:



Not an interview but a speech/lecture he gave. About money and power. He's committed christian and an old socialist. Born in 1925, he's the real deal.

The TV just showed a stock photo of Hugh Hefner and I thought he had died. But he only got married. I'm wishing I'd picked him. The guy can't be long for this world.

I'll take whoever I had last year.. if thats allowed.

wolf 01-06-2013 04:06 PM

Oh, crap. I updated my list, and there was a posting error. now I have to remember who I thought was going to die instead of those that didn't.

wolf 01-06-2013 04:18 PM

1. Roger Moore
2. Brittany Spears
3. Sean Connery
4. Fidel Castro (surely this is the year he goes. Unless he's already dead and they occasionally show a CGI version smoking a cigar on TV)
5. Can i have either of the Olsen Twins without specifying one? I'll take 75% of the usual score to compensate.
6. Dan Rather
7. Larry King
8. Clint Eastwood
9. Keith Richards (still think he is already dead. Zombie Stones, not Rolling, at this point. Although I guess that if one survived into the MTV era, that shows a hardiness of constitution that will carry them quite into their 90s.)
10. Will Ferrell

I was going to add Dave Brubeck, but apparently his Time Out was 12.5.12

I found your list. Sure you can have last year's list but you won't get many points since most of them are already dead.

Fidel Castro
Jerry Lewis
Elizabeth Taylor (died in 2011!)
Muhammad Ali
Bob Barker
Ernest Borgnine (dead)
Sidney Poitier
Lindsey Lohan
Peter Faulk (Falk. Died in 2011!)
Dick Clark (dead)

No, pick an Olsen. ;)

Foot needs 8 more. Unless he's on strike due to the Great Paterno Fiasco of 2012.

Pete Zicato 01-10-2013 09:15 AM

Brittany Spears over Lindsay Lohan?

wolf 01-10-2013 09:17 AM

I've been letting Brittany ride for a couple years now. She'll eventually do something terminally stupid. Yeah, I know Lindsay can too, but I guess I dislike Brittany more.

footfootfoot 01-10-2013 04:21 PM

adding Larry King

Griff 01-12-2013 07:29 AM

I hadn't heard he died.

Don't be so sure. He's got a lot to live for!

As a non-participant* in this contest, I offer the following intuition about what is fair.
Doubling up a guess like this gives double the chance of a correct guess so to be fair it should only produce half the points.
Allowing the precedent could allow someone to make 20 guesses at half-points, and logically just a single guess at ten times the normal points.
Do you really want to go there?



*It would annoy me if I did poorly and freak me out if I did really well.
