I thought he gets frailer every year (DUH!). Maybe a year too soon, we'll see. Another similar choice could have been Monty Hall.

Someone on the committee wears his underpants.

My main complaint is that Sumner Redstone should have been on there. As someone from the world of business. The Kerkorian pick was a success as well.

Good choice, he's a goner this year.

MSC's theory on the dangers of #14 will be proven again, at least that's what the people who made her the joker (that includes me) think.

Great list! They're going for the record.

The new arrivals will lead to a lot of "Hey, I have a suggestion: Betty White!"kind of comments. Let's be gentle.

Is "heavy cold" a codeword for pneunomia?

Christy Dignam

Looks like G. Monty Brinson did around the same time a year ago. Confession: I haven't picked Wetton for anything. It never entered my mind for some reason.

I am away during the critical time, so I'll see you on the other side!

My team has been sent via PM, good luck everyone!

I've just submitted my teams, good luck everyone! (Edit: wrong thread?)

Yes, except the cat Part. I'm a dog person.

I think the general consensus, Drop 40-wise and DeathList-wise will lead to Kirk Douglas.

I was surprised that the Guardian "death reaction" article mentioned a statement from none other than Carol Channing.

Indeed a tragedy. I have nothing else to say.

You should be deducting the exact same amount of points awarded from him plus 20 more for taking the piss.Picking Carrie Fisher wasn't even shooting fish in a barrel it was opportunistic bell ending at its finest. Sorry guys. My bad maths here. Going to make a correction. But, of the 12 teams at this point RadGuy was the only one to place Carrie Fisher in the HPDP team and show the hand being played. In fact the option remains that teams only need be submitted in an Intstant Message and won't be published till the 1st January at the earliest. And in post 1112 on page 56 12th of December I had eluded to be starting the game early with double scores. However I did say double BONUS points, not doulble basic points. So it's only the 40 basic points plus (40 divided by 5) = 8. Times 2 for unique. Times 2 for doulble bonus points, thus still 32 bonus points and listing as 72.9 points not 112.9. Sorry... I'd like to apologize for not having read that previous submissions were already valid.

Sent my team, good luck everyone!

The new bonus creates interesting thoughts: I mean, do I pick the sure sixty-something 8-pt goner with the small chance of making the Drop 40, or do I pick the almost sure 80-something goner with the small chance of not making the Drop 40?

Is Debbie Reynolds famous enough for the nr.1 spot?
