The Miser

All I know is that he recently denied that he is 'gravely ill'. But then so did Suzanne Pleshette.... Incidentially Misers, you said you had a larger list of 68, is that the one for the near 40-yr old deadpool in the US? Yes. The Game gazette pool http://egamegazette.net/ Don Wittman counted in that one. I finished 5th last year and 7th in 2006.

Hmmmm..... I agree that he doesn't sound all that confident in his recovery.

I've stacked my chips on Tolimir to cark it, but we'll see what happens.... Any update on Tolimir? I have him on my larger list but haven't heard anything about him in awhile.

Hmmm. Sounds ominous, glad I saw my way clear to putting him on....

I'm always a little skepticle of "alternative" treatments.

Correct hairless young boys appear to be his biggest problem.

I agree. I think she has a couple more years to go.

Involuntarily committed to a mental ward this morning.

Not quite yet. Maybe he will will go for a walk....check back next Thursday.

I know you list her in the intro paragraph as having recovered but I think that you may want to reconsider adding Fawsett back into the mix. The lasted news doesn't sound all that good.

You haven't spent much time on the internet. Plug in "scat" into the search engine and you will find "distasteful".

Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha..... There is a greater chance that I get hit by a comet while I am sitting at my computer.

Can't find any other source...no other news outlets.

His "Michael Clayton" pic was nominated and no-one has heard or seen him. Total radio silence.

CP does a master list of people that have been mentioned and why. He used this thread last year...I guess he wanted it renamed to something more appropriate....call it CP's master tracking list

Discussed at the committee meeting but discounted because no one had heard of him, other than he was about to die Would you have heard of Elizabeth Edwards if she wasn't sick? Can you name many of the other candidate's spouses except of course old Bill. The answer is yes. Not only is she the spouse of John Edwards, but is also a key member of his campaign team for the Democrat nomination. She is also more well known in the US, as are the other spouses. Although Christodoulos is famous in Greece, that is really as far as his influence goes. I'm from the US and I couldn't name Obama's wife, McCain's wife or Romney's wife. I know Elizabeth Edwards because she has breast cancer. But she will get an obit so its still worth a pick. In my US pool, they have a fame rule against people famous for who they are related to and people famous just for being sick so they explicitly disallowed Pausch and Edwards.

Zsa Zsa....although it could be Pollack

Perhaps the pressure applied helped to control your cheating urges. Anyway. Even I must admit that you are doing a good job. Great job. Definately not a cheater...maybe not much on Obit judgment as Christodolous got an almost instant BBC obit.

now that Suharto and Christodoulos have gone, I'll have to find a hobby Please make it:Patriarch Pavle of Serbia

EBERT RECOVERING FROM SURGERY Chicago Sun-Times critic Roger Ebert underwent surgery Thursday to rectify complications from previous cancer operations that left him without the ability to speak. Reports said today (Friday) that he remains cancer free and quoted his wife Chaz as saying, "We are grateful to everyone for the continued prayers and concern. The surgery went well, and we look forward to giving you more good news about Roger's recovery in days to come."

Just before midnight on Jan. 19, Britney Spears popped open several bottles of champagne inside her Beverly Hills mansion and invited six members of the paparazzi into her home for a party. The stunned photographers were asked to leave their cameras outside, but otherwise to enjoy themselves. And enjoy themselves they did! The group, accompanied by Brit's friend Sam Lutfi, drank, smoked, ate leftovers from the fridge and laughed for about two hours. Then, just as suddenly as it had begun, the party came to a screeching halt. "Britney went into her bedroom and came out in a different pair of jeans and her pink wig," one of the photogs tells OK!. "Her eyes went wide and she was yelling, 'How the f**k did you get in here? Get the f**k out! Sam, get them out! Why are they eating my food? Get them out!'" Britney's complete 180-degree turn was shocking. "One person walked into that bedroom, someone else walked out," one of the photographers tells OK!. "It was scary." SO WHEN SHE CROAKS DO YOU GET MULTIPLE HITS FOR MULTIPLE PERSONALITIES?

I heard that Heath Ledger was going to out the US government's moon cover-up....

Not many woman would pose in her underwear to show how much worse looking she has become.

Well, I did say earlier this week that it needed a quiet week - and in fact, it has been anything but. What is even worse for Wittman watchers is:- 1) His funeral has taken place with no extra news agencies picking it up 2) The Associated Press haven't picked it up at all yet 3) There were only 3 press reports of his passing in the last 36 hours 4) There have been just 7 non-Canadian reports of his death in total I would say the only chance he has is an obit in The Independent - they tend to be more global & have more "Off-the-wall" type obits, but, as I said before, if they don't for one of Canada's most famed writers (Callwood), why would they for a foreign winter sports commentator? He qualified in my US game (glad because I used him there), I think mostly because he was known in hockey circles.
