More Brit-centric than ever before, but these are the people I read about and know. Well, not personally, otherwise I'd put my parents' cat on there.
Except she's already excluded for being a cat.
And not being a public figure.

I've never done this before as I can't think of ten famous people, let alone ten that are about to drop off the perch. I've asked Mr Limey to contribute on my behalf.

3. Miley Cyrus
4. Tom Brokaw
5. Bill Cosby
6. Axl Rose
7. Muhammed Ali
8. Lindsay Lohan

You do realise that Mr Limey gets the points, not you, right?
Which may lead to a situation as in QI, where the audience wins. Still, who am I to bring up rules and regulations with a Mod!?

Oh and tell him next year to include at least one wild card; the younger the person the more points you get.

NB. You have heard of the Queen though?

Yeah. Careful. Limes is a prefect now!

My Mum was a Prefect, and then Head Girl.
My Dad was a mod.

I was a prefect.


Don't laugh.

Monster!
Griff is making fun of a much treasured Cellar thread!

He's not breaking any official rules, but he needs a telling off.
Just telling him he won't win with that selection probably won't be enough.

Oh, I will win and with style.

Oooooeee. Coming in right out of left field!

Here is my list but I've decided to make my list for this year and the future combined.

1. EVERYONE

is Ashley Force Hood a sexual violation?

My list was progressing normally until the third Ashley showed up.

What's with the already dead people on lists? :blush:

Whitney Houston? :3_eyes:

Oh yeah, I guess Whitney Houston is dead. Oops. Okay, replace her with Dr. Drew in my list.

1) Zsa-Zsa Gabor
2) Stuart Hall
3) Justin Bieber

how come Griff's list is all strippers?

he forgot Ashly de la Zouch ;)

Who won last year? I said i left my spreadsheet at the old job. If'n somebody plans to score it, I'll play. otherwise it's just a thread up there with word ass and word disass. Which is to say: annoying.

I'll score it

unless someone else wants to

*cough* I'll be happy to...

assuming you've only selected people still alive, is it a combination or a permutation?
put another way, do they have to kark it (UK) or buy the farm (USA) in the order you specify?

It's hard enough getting these fuckers to allow my nominees. Let's not make it impossible.

Anyone on your list dies, you get points. Points are 110 minus [age at death.] So one young death gets you more points than several geezers in their 90s. Most points at the end of the year wins.

thanks clodfobble a really concise and comprehensive explanation.

funny thing is that in UK we just had the Clint Eastwood/Liam Neeson movie "Dead Pool" a week or two back.
might have to have a crack at this myself :devil:

To the best of my recollection, I have never accurately predicted a single celebrity death in this thread. So if you're making your list, I would stay away from everyone I picked.

Hahahahaha!!
you mean like you did?

Haters gotta hate. ;)
I would suggest that Ashley Purdy is not on your to be seen naked list... he may not be on anyone's naked list actually.

Molasar, I think rules are spelled out in as much entirety as they get in last year's thread, but most of the ones beyond points and how famous the corpses have to be relate to ways of preventing 36" from cheating

.....but I'd be willing to entertain the notion of a bonus for people who get 3 or more hits occurring in the order listed.... ;)

... or indeed "buy 3 get 1 free" ?

Awww come on, Dana, nobdoy's prefect.

GRJ was a completely random out of the air pick ( subliminal suggestion maybe) of a humerous man I would rather see more work from and hope he lives on for many years, Ricky Gervais on the other hand...

Celebrity Death Pool 2014
 

My list this year:
Eli Wallach
Zsa Zsa Gabor
Sam Simon
Clive James
Billy Graham
Valerie Harper
Joost van der Westhulzen
GHW Bush
Fidel Castro
Abe Vigoda

I didn't recognize this name, so I googled it and came up with this article from last November:

and you wonder why people accuse you of cheating? I don't know that this is against the rules...per se... but it seems a bit of a foregone conclusion.

Hm. I don't think anyone on my list last year checked out, so maybe it's protective to be on certain lists ... like mine and Clod's.

Prince Phillip
Lindsay Lohan
Stephen Hawking
Olivia de Havilland
Valerie Harper
PD James
George Bush Sr.
Ed Asner
B B King
Sid Caesar

My list as well. I don't think I ever had a death.

In 2009, Harper was diagnosed with lung cancer.[33] She announced on March 6, 2013 that tests from a January hospital stay revealed she has leptomeningeal carcinomatosis, a rare condition in which cancer cells spread into the meninges, the membranes surrounding the brain. She said her doctors had given her as little as three months' life expectancy.[34] Although the disease is incurable, her doctors said they were treating her with chemotherapy in an effort to slow its progress.[35]

We don't actually have a rule for that do we? F3 did his research... probably a full list of terminals. It's not like adding names after the fact...

Only thing I saw a as radar saying, "no one on death row"

I guess I'm just bitter because I did zero research. Carry on.

OK, I started work on scoring 2013 in order of appearance in thread (list sorted by score)

Dwellar Hits Score
monster 3 67
Sundae 3 67
Nirvana 1 42
Trilby, Clodfobble, Griff 0

next to be scored if anyone wants to take over: gvidas.

points for players so far:
Mandela 16
Thatcher 24
Biggs 27
Franklin 42



quote from Trilby when asked to pick a 10th player

"and...oh, shoot...let's say that ugly disgusting green-tinged boy Kate Moss goes out with. What's his name? Pete Doherty. "

:lol:

I think that was my first year with any hits at all! usually I have to take them off my list, then they die. Like MJ. Barsteward.

man shoulda done my research and bunged Ian Brady in there....

Jim you're a cock. You've got Ali and Castro on you list! Bitter bastidge.


Hey farto.

Are they terminal? Ali has been the same zombie for 20 years it seems. Both low scorers too. You were much more strategic.

Have a blessed day

Absolutely strategic! Winning isn't everything but it can buy happiness

There's winning and then there's winning.

Give foot a break. At least he didn't say The Professor and Ruben Kincaid.

Here's my list from last year...got to go check if anyone was a hit:

1) Tara Reid
2) Phil Donahue
3) Ann B Davis
4) Rush Limbaugh
5) Ed Ames
6) Andy Dick
7) Dick Cheney
8) Olivia de Havilland
9) Teri Garr
10) Muhammad Ali

eta: nope, all still kicking. So it's my 2014 list.

p.s. thanks for scoring last year, monster!

I didn't get very far :/ maybe we should all be self scoring

I'm procrastinating right now. I have two really urgent things to do and apparently I have pissed away 5 hours already :(

I said 'give foot a break' I didn't say let him run hog wild scoring himself. :lol:
