I'd hire you immediately.

It is a bit morbid, but the reason I haven't gone in it is that I have little interest in celebrities and I have trouble thinking of ten famous people.

I'm really having a hard time making my picks this year. I have closer to 20 really good names, and I've got to narrow it down...

I failed horribly last year. Celebs should hire me to pick them. I even picked one of my faves just to make sure it wasn't a wish list......

I've only got 1 spot left on my roster, and I've got at least 7 people who would be good to fill it. I'm scared to put my entries in now because they don't count until the start of the year and one of them might die between now and then.

I'd have to go to the "dead/not dead" site...I had no idea a lot of those folks were still living.
