Meanwhile, there are all kinds of ppl showing up with arguments about how, statistically, we should expect last year's celebrity body count to be more typical, since people get famous for more than just movies these days.

Anyone notice that so far this year the closest we've had to a celebrity death was that murderous orca bastard at Sea World who drowned his trainer a couple of years back? Last year, by this time, I think we'd lost Lemmy, Bowie, AND Rickman already...

A'ight, here's my 2017 list.

1. Ozzy--his liver can't hold out forever
2. Keith Richards
3. William Shatner--He's like 10 years older than Takei and should absolutely NOT be the last original Star Trek officer standing.
4. Steven Tyler
5. John Mellencamp
6. Jack Russell of Great White...just a hunch.
7. Jimmy Page (rabid wolverines high on CRACK, Page...see my 2016 dead pool posts for full details)
8. Lou Gramm
9. Geoff Tate (Queensryche)
10. Nick Rhodes from Duran Duran

And if Alice Cooper does have to die this year, I hope it's awesome. He's a golf addict (self-confessed--used golf and sugar-free Red Vines to take the place of booze), so struck by lightning IS a viable possibility.

Gravdigr, I wouldn't be so sure about Willie Nelson . I've seen footage of his martial arts workouts upside his tour bus and he's in amazing shape! I love that someone finally asked him openly to opine on the dangers of marijuana use and his answer was along the lines of "It is absolutely dangerous! A friend of mine dropped a bale and it broke his foot in like 5 places. Gotta be careful with that stuff."

Several of you may be getting points.

George H.W. Bush is in ICU. His wife is also in the hospital.

Keith Richards isn't going to die in our lifetime.
The only possible explanation is that he's either already a zombie or has a Highlander background.

They're both doing their best to die before the inauguration, I bet.

I only have Barbara. Heard they put her in just to be safe. George has pneumonia, she just had difficulty breathing.

Edit. Jesus. I don't want to play any more. I've offended myself.

I withdraw my entry. I hope they both get better quickly and live happily for the remainder of the year.

Not trying to spoil anyone's fun. I'm just out.

They are saying he'll be released soon. I reckon she just wore herself out worrying about him and caught a bit of it too. They'll be fine.
