I believe the scoring system we've always used is subtract their age from 100 and that's the number of points you get.

Here's my list this year.

1. Abe Vigoda
2. George Steinbrenner
3. Billy Graham
4. Nancy Reagan
5. Kim Jong Il
6. Mickey Rooney
7. Kirk Douglas
8. Peter O'Toole
9. Fidel Castro
10. Abdelbaset Ali Mohmed Al Megrahi


My secondary list, which doesn't count for the game, but which is still very strong is...

1. Andy Griffith
2. Jerry Lewis
3. Elizabeth Taylor
4. Muhammad Ali
5. Bob Barker
6. Ernest Borgnine
7. Sidney Poitier
8. Severiano "Seve" Ballesteros Sota
9. Peter Falk
10. Dick Clark


I'm not taking any bets against my secondary list this year.

Yeh, I was joking about the complicated part.

Okay, little amended from last year.
Sorry I killed off John Mortimer and Bobby Robson.
It never worked with Thatcher. Maybe third time's the charm, eh?

Ronnie Biggs
Fidel Castro
Margaret Thatcher
Patrick Moore
Norman Wisdom
Mickey Rooney
Clive Dunn
Nancy Reagan
Ariel Sharon
Prince Philip

I debated between Nancy and Betty Ford, but Nancy would get me more points. However I expect a special mention if Betty carks it.

Oh and I promise $50 to the tip jar if we see off Maggie this year. It might not come all at once, but I will honour my promise within 6 months of the joyous event.

Does that count as an incentive to an assassin?

I thought about Betty Ford too and Harry Morgan from Mash, but I didn't go with them.

Radar, at the end of the year: "I TOLD you I was thinking about picking them...see how smart I am? It's in ONE of my 16 lists!"

My list is every celebrity on earth who is still alive! :p

Shawnee, all I'm saying is I considered Betty Ford. She was on my group of people that I had actually typed up. I had a lot to pick from. That's why I came up with 2 lists.

Only 1 list counts for each of us though. It's the only list that matters. If Betty Ford or Harry Morgan died, I won't say "I told you I thought about them." I'll probably say, "Dammit, I picked the wrong names for the long list of possible choices."

I guess the morbidity of this thread is open to even a Madman. Here's my... <cough> unhopefulls.

John Astin
Jean Stapleton
Andy Griffith
Hal Linden
Adam West
David Hasselhoff
Bob Newhart
Kirstie Alley
Michael J. Fox
James Arness


Actually, I hope they are all still alive. They are... 99% sure of it.

You're welcome to play Madman. I hope you're wrong about John Astin, Adam West, Bob Newhart, and Michael J. Fox. I really like them.
