Unlikely the price would go down, just think of all the new beaurocracies that would be created. In Canada we legalized marijuana over a year ago. Apparently 75% of weed is still sold through the black market, and it is about 25% cheaper there too.

If you miss your chance to register....

Invite sent. Should be good to go.

Yes, success! You are now invited to the correct pool. Once you have accepted, you can make your 20 picks. Oh, and don't bother trying to pick Ged Stokes- they rejected my request to add him to the database.

Joey, I messed up. I aw that joeyruss had requested an invite, and I accepted it to the wrong pool (my work pool). I booted you out from that one, but you must have a privacy setting ticked on your profile because I can't find you again. There is a little box that needs to be checked allowing funeral home directors to find you. Either hit that box, or try again and request an invite and I will be sure to accept you to the correct pool. Sorry, my bad entirely (fat fingers).

I'll send the invite now. Check your email that you think you used, and check junk/spam just in case. If you don't see it, it must not be you and we'll have to try again. *sent*

Nope. Joeyru6, Joey, Joey lee, Joey b-radz, joeyfiala, and joeyjojoe. Any of those seem familiar?

Side note: As the admins haven't bounced this thread out, I'm assuming that this may be considered as a bonafide pool, meaning it could be the ripest plum out there to get your name in the HOF! There are only 8 mourners ( again, using the local vernacular) registered. How hard could it be to pull off a win in the inaugural running?

Hi Joey. The pool (funeral home, in the local vernacular), is called Fossorius Endeavour. It is supposed to be private, meaning you can only search it out if you are a funeral home director. All others require an invite. I looked for you in the database there, and there are a half dozen variations of Joey, but not Joey Russ specifically. You can either try to get a username/password reset through the login page, or use a new email and start over. Either way, let me know the username when it is set, and I will get the invite to you. It would be great to have you. SK

Hi Doulton. Pleased to have you all aboard, invites have been sent. Let me know if I missed anyone. 6 days and 23 hours to lockdown, folks. Variety is the spice of life, so just think what it can do for death!

Yup, we've seen many buck the odds. Prognosis, no matter how dire or how good, still requires a roll of the dice.

Now that the dust has settled on the classic site pools, don't forget there is one more pool you can still join, and scoop up those celebs that you somehow forgot about in the turkey induced haze between Christmas and New Years. The Doug Stanhope Celebrity Dead Pool for this site has been registered, with yours truly as the funeral home director, and is just waiting for more entries. Refer back to the inaugural post for details. The only kicker is that you have to create a user profile on their site, then let me know by PM or thread what it is so that I can send you an invitation. 20 names, pool locks down on the 15th. If you are not a fan of FFBI types, you will like this site as there is a minimum fame criteria required to be eligible for choosing (which seems a bit high for my liking sometimes, but whatevs). The special site bonus category for this year has been voted on, and it is Death Under 50. Any celebs under 50 get a 25 point bonus. Gonna be a tough one to capitalize on this year, but you are allowed one trade per month to try to catch the ones that become apparent later in the year. Come on in!

Hmm. Not your simple contained prostate cancer it seems. According to the article, it has spread to his bladder. Bad sign, worsens the prognosis considerably.

Iran and Iraq share a hatred for the US. Aside from that, they would annihilate each other if they had the chance. No love lost between those nations.

I'm with you on that, never heard of him. It's a bit of a handicap in these games I think.

Tomorrow.

I feel most badly for the peasant population that is fed propaganda and misinformation by their tyrannical and vengeful leaders, and are most likely the ones to suffer from this. The Iranian people are probably in trouble too.

Because the Royal Family in general serves some productive purpose? I mean, besides for themselves?

I still get a kick out of that album you are alluding to there.

1.Prince Philip 2. Kirk Douglass 3. Daniel arap Moi 4. Bob Dole 5. Murray Walker 6. Genesis P-Orridge 7. Stirling Moss 8. Abdelaziz Bouteflika 9. Alex Trebek (joker) 10. Tom Smith 11. William Gates 12. Peter Sutcliffe

I'd like to try again, hoping to get past round one this time.

Can we just move my first sub, Harr Can we just move my first sub, Harry Reid into the spot? And then let's put Prince Phillip on the sub list.

**gasp***
