Estuarian Float

Congratulations, CarolAnn! George Steinbrenner gives you the first hit of the Dust Pool! Now Im gonna think about what I should do for his death profile...

Woman from Georgia allegedly celebrates 130th birthday. Meaning she was born in '80. The other '80.

Just curious for the opinion of someone whos been in the deathpool community much longer...By looking at my current DDP team and standing, what would you say I could expect for the second half of the year? 1. Abdelbaset Al-Megrahi 2. Pope Benedict XVI 3. Algirdas Brazauskas (7 points) 4. Kama Chinen (3 points) 5. Tony Curtis 6. Kelsey Grammer 7. David Hasselhoff 8. Dennis Hopper (7 points) 9.

Gloria Stuart 19. Margaret Thatcher 20. Lil' Wayne

The roster is up. If theres anything wrong with yours, just let me know.

3 and a half hours left before deadline. Here are the names of the teams entered so far. If you do not find your team name in this list, your entry has not been received. 1. 888-333 2. Captain Chorizo 3. CarolAnn's Cadaver Conspiracy 4. Deaf by Vuvuzela 5. Devon Death Trip 6. Footballing Fuckwits 7. Ghosts of Canadian Paul's Past 8. Never Came to Maryport 9. STAB in the DARK 10. The Unknown Man's Ghouls of Despair 11. Vaagheid 12. Windsor the Troll

NOTICE: 7 hours until deadline. 11 entries have been submitted as of now. Have fun! And also, does anyone know of any other deadpools that start tomorrow? Or soon?

Just a reminder! You have one week to submit your entries. I think I have six entries right now, and one person needs to replace their Manute, but they know who they are. And again, if there are any unique ideas or features you'd like to see in my deadpool, please suggest!

I have 4 entries so far. For everyone else, take your time if you'd like. You've still got 16 days before the game starts. If anyone would like to take a look at the pool's site and give me any suggestions for unique features, please do!

Mentionings count for points, but Im only going to be looking for headlines or whole article obits.

"Jackass" Bam Margera beaten by 59 year-old woman with a baseball bat; hospitalized.

Jimmy Dean of sausage fame has died at 81. PLEASE tell me someone got a DDP hit from him!

I just added NY Times. I was trying to think of another major US source, but couldnt so thanks!

Umm. I dont think you need yahoo to send an email to someone with yahoo, but sure you can just PM me.

Send your team name, 25 celebrities, and 2 alternates to dustpool2010@yahoo.com

The pool is open! PLEASE alert me if I left out any crucial info regarding rules or entry. You get 25 picks. Have fun!

I'll be your 8th. Thank You! Development of the pool is speeding up and going well. The pool is centered around the theme of DUST and the URN. All hits from the pool go into the urn. The prize will be urn-related. That will be the trophy, whether real or just a jpeg of one. The pool is here Take a look, tell me what you think, what needs to be done. And too, about the "Incumbent" bonus. I dont understand how royalty works. Should I say "no royalty"?

Okay, I got on the internet to create the site to host my deathpool, but I have a problem. Whats my theme?? Could it be my DDP name, StarDust and have solar nebulas and shining dust? Could it be a different theme with each go? Ticking clock towers, night skies, and other goth themes? I think Im gonna go with Wordpress and not Webs, because Webs has always given me trouble. Confirmed Yes Rotten Ali Vaagheid Maryportfuncity CarolAnn CanadianPaul The Unknown Man 888-333

The deadline for this pool will be June 30 Eastern Time Zone. If you Europeans arent familiar, thats New York. I live in Indiana. Heres what Im thinking for obit sources: USA Today CNN BBC The Independent Legacy.com's featured obituaries any other suggestions? Ideas for Bonuses. Tell me which ones you like: Still in office (politician died while still in office) Cancelled (actor died while starring in a current TV program) Heart Attack/Stroke Birthday Unique Pick Born/Died in Indiana/Kentucky (I was born in Kentucky, raised in Indiana) Scoring system: I probably will do the 120 minus age. The percentage was just a thought. Maybe a team must have a minimum of 10 picks and a maximum of 40. Display: Im sure I wont make mini profiles for each pick like the DDP. Maybe just an exit profile for each one that dies. Im not sure what sitemaking service to use. Im thinking either Wordpress or Webs.com. Prize: I think it would be great for the prize to the winner to be a package of items relating to each of their hits. Say you won with three hits. Michael Jackson, Kama Chinen, and Glen Bell. In your package, you would get a Thriller album, a flag of Formosa, and a piece of Taco Bell memorabilia. Im just afraid something goes wrong and the winner doesnt receive the package.

Jeff Probst looks like he's ready to pounce into Larry's chair once he's gone.

I voted MacCorkindale because it would be best scenario for me.

I have him on my RDP. Nice, but Id rather have that unique 42 year old pick on my DDP.

Gary Coleman is apparently dead now. The curse lives.

!!!! For 14 days, Ive had no idea Kama Chinen died! Im finally on the board! Even if its like 3 points, It feels nice to be included

South Park creators Matt Stone and Trey Parker are being threatened by Halibuts for their portrayal of Muhammad. I hope they live, but this could be someone's unnatural causes hit...
