Life Begins at 5 o'clock

So how fat is Fats these days?

Yes, your really going to have to curtail your posts It's a shocking turn around on Lewis' part. From earlier pictures, he looked awful, but I guess it was just SPAM (sp) that distorted his body. A similar situation to the pic of Mary Travers everybody was making fun of earlier.

Yeah, Byrd claims to have tossed off his robe and hood years ago. West Virginia is a backwoods place to begin with, tons of local jokes from the Marylanders. No offense to anyone, but West Virginians are sterotyped around here as having less than half their teeth, a 4th grade education, coal dust in their blood, marry their cousin (that's if their siblings are unavailable), and screw their livestock. It's only like that in some pockets though. Interestingly, the person that best represents their interests in Congress is a Rockefeller I believe.

Well, of all the high government officials from America, everyone before involved before the administration of John F. Kennedy is dead. From his entire cabinet, only three men still remain: The Administration of John Fitzgerald Kennedy Secretary of Defense John McNamara Secretary of the Interior Stewart Udall Secretary of Labor Willard Wirtz These three are probably all extremely strong candidates.

I was looking through her wiki entry and she seems like a really strong candidate. It has gone unmentioned, but she recently sold her house (in the last two or three years I guess) and moved into a nursing home. When she was working, she was warned multiple times about what a negative effect it would have on her health. Perhaps she's a very strong choice.

Is anyone considering Joey La Motta (Joe Pesci's chacter) as a candidate for next year?

Does he still live in Russia or has he emigrated? After Communism fell, I'd leave. I'd go to Australia. I'd visit Frank Scarralotta. I would explain to him that he was worth 8 points to me and request he act accordingly.

Where is the evidence of this? I have never known Dr.Albert Hofmann had any involvement in Rock N Roll. Lucy In The Sky With Diamonds, anyone? I heard on the radio the other week that John Lennon claimed the song had nothing to do with drugs. Apparently his son Julian came home from school one day and had painted a picture of his school friend Lucy, and that's where the title came from. I think it was on Radio One, so it must be true. Wiki even says so http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lucy_in_the_Sky_with_Diamonds How do they know Julian wasn't on LSD when he was painting Lucy?

Having sold most his name, henceforth he will be known as Mohum.

Here's an oddly morbid link to the Baseball Hall of Fame. It's like they've done my work for me. http://www.baseballhalloffame.com/hofers_a...lists/alive.htm

Yea...from the picture alone I don't really see him being around much longer. He looks so fragile(as of course, most of the elderly do, which makes them good pics.) I don't think he'll get to 100.

After they detonate a bomb in D.C. you're going to thank me for listing all of the cabinet secretaries. The survivors will be irradiated and cancerous and will be good pickings for DDP.

Initially I would have said Syd Barret, but use of psychodelics doesn't seem to shorten your life all that much, as Albert Hoffman has demonstrated.

Given more time he would have had greater mainstream exposure, but to people watching the hiphop scene, he was pretty famous.

Proof, close friend and part of Eminem's side project D12 was killed in a nightclub recently. http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/conte...6041100612.html

Reading the journal, he really seems like a nice guy. I feel bad for him and his family.

They'll be flying the Confederate flag half-staff prett soon.

Heh...reminds me of Gerald Ford...

I agree Harold is a tease of the first order. (Order of the Tease?) As a royal figure he'll get the absolute best care his country can provide or can afford to have provided for him. His essential value to the state (a little light sacasm there) demands that he have the finest treatment possible and they'll probably spare no expense keeping him around.

Wow, that Prince sounds like a total asshole. At least he's honest though. Anyhow, since [sarcasm] everyone on this forum cares about my opinion [/sarcasm], I have to admit that I'm a bit wary to be putting Zsa Zsa on any personal lists. I think she's excellent candidate when you have room for 50, so she sounds like a good bet for DL, but in terms of personal pools, she's been a huge corpse tease over the past few years and there's a lot of good candidates, as OoO has pointed out to us. I wouldn't put it past her to live for another few years... I have my own list of Death Teases and she's on it: 1. Gerald Ford 2. Zsa Zsa Gabor 3. Kirk Douglas 4. Elizabeth Taylor 5. Sihanouk 6. Suharto 7. Charlton Heston These people are ageless and will live forever. You forgot to mention the following DL teases: 1. Ronnie Biggs 2. General Pinochet 3. Margaret Thatcher 4. Charles Haughey (hopefully this will change in the next couple of days) I agree with the first 3, they're never going to die either. Haughey, though, is Irish and their constitutions have traditionally not been the strongest. He'll go eventually.

Does anybody (barring US farmers) really give a damn about the US agriculture secretary. Stick to the Cabinet big shots, not these bunch of nobodys. Point of order...many of them would fulfill the DDP qualification of getting a UK obit. At least I'm putting out some new or original people. Over the past couple days it seems like people keep putting up common repeaters (I think Vonnegut and Hugh Hefner.)

Soooo...how much influence has the deathlist team actually had in the demise of the best picks? (A dangerous question perhaps.) If you all did have some influence, I'd say they were all very good jobs, because only the most outlandish conspiracy theorists ever mention celebrity deadpools as the dark hand of international conspiracies.

Oh...my bad. My computer froze as I was posting that before I assumed it didn't post right. Now that I know it's up there: Agriculture 1. Mike Johanns (G.W. Bush) 2. Ann Veneman (G.W. Bush) 3. Dan Glickman (Clinton) 4. Mike Espy (Clinton) 5. Clayton Yeutter (G.H.W. Bush) 6. John Block (Reagan) 7. Robert Bergland (Carter) 8. John Knebel (Ford) 9. Earl Butz (Nixon/Ford) 10.
