I was eating dinner with my parents when I heard that Johnny C had died. We were watching TV, and I go, "Damn, that would've been 33 points". They go O.o


I gotta spend less time in here.


Looks like the pope's a shoe-in. They just put a feeding tube into him. They should take it out -- he and Terri could race. sorry

Jerry Falwell's critical, too.

I can't believe we don't have more lists. Granted, it's a bit morbid, but it's also fun.

I want to do this, but haven't had the time to give it the consideration that I need to. (which means checking to see if the folks I pick are still alive.)

I know Abe Vigoda's on my list, but haven't given much thought to anyone else.

The Pope is just too darn easy a pick.

ooh ..

Dan Rather

8 to go. I'll be thinking on this.

Shoulda picked Frank Perdue! I was actually surprised to hear that he died. I thought he died years ago.

Comedian Mitch Hedberg died a few days ago. I hadn't heard of him until now, but he was a Steven Wright-esque one-liner kind of guy, and apparently beloved by many. Google his name and you will find jokes. Damn. I missed out totally.

IMHO, his actual jokes were funny, but his delivery was annoying as all hell. He had this stoner cadence thing going on which made him completely unwatchable for me.

Sadly, I got 35 more points today for Richard Pryor. It's times like this I wish I lost.
