Thanks for that.

Not to start rumors or anything but does anyone know where Spex was when each of those celebs "died of natural causes"?

Seconded. Honoured his work today by watching The Town.

What? No one had Gerry Rafferty?

Ahhh, Baker Street. Nice song.

Sundae · 01-05-2011, 02:26 PM

Or Dick King-Smith, 88.
The Reaper's getting in early this year.

So, she's got one foot (plus some) in the grave already?

Clodfobble · 01-17-2011, 04:35 PM

Is it too late to get in? I always suck at this game, but I feel like Aretha Franklin and Michael Douglas are solid bets this year.

jimhelm · 01-17-2011, 05:30 PM

Sean Connery
John Madden
Betty White
Meatloaf
Regis
Wesley Snipes
Nancy Sinatra
Jacki Chan

i hope i get 0 points

monster · 01-17-2011, 05:51 PM

No not too late, cf, but you can't pick people who already died or lost limbs. Well I guess you can pick her, buy you get one less point 'cause the leg's already gone, I reckon

Hell, I don't care, the more the merrier

Betty White's going to keep on forever I reckon. Unless someone shoots her. /palinmoment

@ pete, funny, but what's the betting it's being pickled and will eventually find it's way onto ebay or the morbid nasty equivalent?

footfootfoot · 01-17-2011, 07:48 PM

Julian Assange
Steve Jobs
Zsa Zsa

Yeah, prolly.

In one of Asimov's Hugo Winner books, he tells this story. Unfortunately I don't remember the SF author's name.

Some fan to author: Your stories can be depressing. Are you like that in real life?

SF author: On the contrary. I have the heart of a little boy...

...in a jar of formaldehyde on my desk.

I remember that as being Robert Bloch, who wrote Psycho.

I just came back to check if I had Mandela (hospitalized) and noticed that I said this year the score is 111-age, so Sundae must've got 2 or 3 points for the leg. Birthday next week, though.....
