Yeah, but you would've expected some idiot guest to make a thread for him by now because they wanted to see him on the list. Oh, wait, they're gone...

It is when Mick Jagger doesn't have his own thread...

He actually has his own thread for some strange reason:

Deathlist 2018 for sure, after McCain and Newton John. I think 2018 is setting up to be a great year for them tbh. And I agree Toast, having kids at 70 is very selfish to do.

A couple would probably be an understatement lol...

Lol. Jagraj Singh is considered only for being ill and dying.

I get what your saying in that sense, trying to limit the amount of FFBI with other wild picks does make it more fun. However, at least in the case of Al-Baghdadi, there were so many twists and turns to the point of Trump accusing the New York Times of preventing Baghdadi's death (yes, that article exists, look it up) kind of drained my excitement for that type of death. Next year, I will probably limit the amount of FFBI on my teams (assuming that Spade doesn't ban them) to about one or two so it can be a lot more in line with the original intention of celebrity dead pool, picking people with at least fame level that is outside of their illness, and I think that make it a lot more exciting for my team next year. I have at least two people who I consider very risky obits but are young enough (and have some sort of fame level outside of illness) and interesting enough for me to punt on them. But probably no unnatural points next year...

After what happened with Al-Baghdadi, I don't want to try another unnatural death bonus tbh...

Sorry, we don't understand riddles.

So you never even heard of this song? Shame on you...

Shaun's picture still qualifies: de Haviland, Douglas, Rooney, and Rainer were all on the 2014 list.

Good point!

Don't you want him on your team? Don't you want him, ohh...

Rumors are swirling around that Rex Tillerson might be quitting soon.

FTFY. She still is the oldest verified person ever...

Leah Bracknell isn't exactly an aged actress...

Harry Potter is by far one of the most overrated series of all time. I mean, I understand that it's more focused on the younger generation like me (and while I thought it was good, it was nowhere near the greatest film series of all time), but when they use that as the headline for an older actor who has clearly achieved much more in their life than a minor role in Harry Potter, I completely agree that it's so fucking annoying.

If you need any help, I'm pretty sure I just heard that Peter Falk is suffering from Alzheimer's disease.

Actually, that seems quite the opposite tbh...

What if they just missed out on our team? Do we still not have the right to bitch about it?

You're choosing Martin Landau, aren't you? That's fine.

I don't think Foray got a full BBC obit, so I doubt that she'll lead in Last Word...

There's no way a bad metal singer beats The Godfather of the zombie film. That's just impossible.

...who sounded like shit... Romero wins for me any day...
