Predictor

I've begun to prepare for my 2017 DDP team, and it's a tradition to select at least one Swedish celebrity. Sometimes, they turn out obitable, and sometimes not. For 2017, I have decided to include Princess Christina, our King Carl XVI Gustaf's older sister. She was born in August 1943 and would be worth 7 points in the Derby Dead Pool. Health-wise, she is a good pick because it has been revealed that she has chronic leukemia. https://twitter.com/Gertsroyals/status/786523999731912705

You mean age-wise? Or do you think she will morph into a male Eastern Asian linguist?

ABBA were really huge here in Sweden when my parents were kids in the 70s and early 80s. While their songs might not be everybody's cup of tea, it is hard to overlook the fact that they knew how to make hits that would appeal to the large mass. Vocal performance and lyrics aside, I think it was their usage of interesting instrumentals that really made them great. For example, the intro to Gimme! Gimme! Gimme! or the piano riff of Chiquitita. The two Bs in the group were incredibly gifted producers! Ironically, two of their biggest hits, Waterloo and Mamma Mia, are among the least favourites of mine. But that's just my personal opinion... Fun fact: Benny Andersson's grandson Charlie Grönvall is currently a contestant in Swedish Idol 2016 who's made it to the top 10. His mother, Nanne Grönvall, is a famous singer here and her husband is Benny's son Peter. Born in 1990, maybe Charlie could keep this ABBA thread alive for the next 60 years or so, even after the original four are long gone...

On which merits does Dolores Donlon warrant a place in the poll? I voted for James Lipton, but that's only because Julie Adams was completely ignored. But then again, what else to expect from the poll creator? https://www.facebook.com/OfficialJulieAdams/

George Bush Sr (2013) Kirk Douglas (2013) Jane Withers (2013) Earl Cameron (2013, 2015) Lata Mangeshkar (2013, 2016) Zsa Zsa Gabor (2013, 2014, 2016) Jerry Lewis (2013, 2014, 2016) Sean Connery (2014) Doris Day (2014) Anita Kert Ellis (2014) Valerie Harper (2014) Regina Lund (2014) Debbie Mathers (2014) Rick Ross (2014) Wilford Brimley (2014, 2015, 2016) Nancy Barbato (2015) Aretha Franklin (2015) Peter Hill-Wood (2015) Dina Merrill (2015) William Phipps (2015) Charlotte Rae (2015) Michael Schumacher (2015) Reginald VelJohnson (2015) Rudolf von Ribbentrop (2015) Charles Zentai (2015) Pat Hitchcock (2015, 2016) Hasse Alfredson (2016) Violet Brown (2016) Stanley Donen (2016) Benjamin Ferencz (2016) Joe Jackson (2016) Sacheen Littlefeather (2016) Christopher Lloyd (2016) Debbie Reynolds (2016) Vojislav Seselj (2016) Agne Simonsson (2016) Wole Soyinka (2016) Peter Sutcliffe (2016) Mary Tyler Moore (2016) Bobby Vee (2016) Having participated in the DDP four times in a row now, there are only three names that have been included three times: Zsa Zsa Gabor, Jerry Lewis and Wilford Brimley. The latter one is becoming my own little Clive Dunn; I intend on picking him again in 2017 should he still be alive by then. Interestingly, in my debut season, I picked both Theodore Bikel and Nova Pilbeam. They didn't die that year; instead, they passed away in 2015 with a mere four-day intervall between their deaths. Oh, I almost forgot! I had a theme team once back in 2014 called Beauties of the 40s. The following ladies are still with us. Lola Albright Mary Carlisle Arlene Dahl Olivia de Havilland Peggy Dow Rhonda Fleming Kathleen Hughes Marsha Hunt Anne Jeffreys Mildred Kornman Dorothy Malone Eva Marie Saint Sara Shane Colleen Townsend Anne Vernon 15/20.

Strange men usually discharge before women but nice to see he still is rocking it in his old age. And what about men that aren't strange?

Hello KeiraV. Welcome to the site. Keira's account seems to be deleted. How come? Was it a sockpuppet?

Regional at the very least, and national more likely. Local fame isn't fame at all. ​Fame is like pornography: can't define it but I know it when I see it. SC It's when people have sexual intercourse while being filmed.

Hey! Back in 2007-2009, there was an American footballer named Charlie Davies playing here in Sweden. Around that time, he got to play in different international tournaments like Copa America, Summer Olympics, Concacaf Gold Cup & Confederations Cup. I remember him being pretty good, a fast-paced player. He left for the French club Sochaux in Summer 2009. Soon after arriving to his new country, he was in a car accident that made him miss out on the 2010 World Cup. Still, he was lucky to be alive back then. Unfortunately, it has come to my attention that Charlie, who recently signed for Philadelphia, was diagnosed with a supposedly uncommon cancer type called liposarcoma in Spring 2016. It is in remission now, but what if it comes back?? He was born in 1986, which means that he could be worth 10 whole points for the next 10 years to come on the DDP. Is he obitable? I think so, yes, as British journalists would take note of an international footballer's death. According to Wikipedia, liposarcoma is what ultimately led to the deaths of Rob Ford, Richard Feynman (indirectly), Chad Brown and Hokie Gajan. The latter two were only in their 50s when they passed away.

Probably. Though as I say, when she does go, it'll probably take people by surprise as we're all used to her hanging in there. There have been 57 Deathlist hits since Zsa Zsa got the last rites. She has outlived 11 more DL picks, which brings the score up to 68. As for people in general, not just those on the DL, she has outlived approximately 332 million human beings since she got the last rites.

Some Dr. Zorders jokes... Q: Why should Dr. Zorders be allowed to return to DeathList? A: Because everybody deserves a 65358th chance. Q: Why did Dr. Zorders decide to move to Greenland? A: Because the real estate market is really cheap, because there is only one M uslim living there and because when he gets angry and tells someone to kill themself, there's a huge chance they'll actually listen to his advice. Q: Why does Dr. Zorders never buy measuring sticks made in Havana? A: Because he hates Cuban rulers.

I can think of at least eight movies where Kirk Douglas' character dies.

Interesting, as I believe this is the first list without joost. It was either him or Prince George. I'm satisfied with my decision.

Here's my entry: 1. Kanye West: Gunned down by a psychotic redneck Taylor Swift-fan? 2. Jake Lloyd: Schizophrenic. 3. Cameron Douglas: Will OD/hang himself in prison for never becoming a Spartacus/Gordon Gekko in life. 4. Gabourey Sidibe: See Mama June below. 5. Angelina Jolie: Cancer runs in her maternal lineage. But then again, she is breast-less now so maybe she's safe... 6. Mama June: See Gabourey Sidibe above. 7. Adriano (former Serie A forward): Self-destructive personality, anything could happen in the favelas. 8. Mick Blue: STD-related death. 9. Oscar Pistorius: Suicide due to effing his life up by mistaking his gf for a home intruder. 10. Prince George: It's nature's way of balancing out the ridiculously long lives of Queen mother & Queen Elizabeth. 11. Kim Noorda: Death from anorexia. 12. Frankie Muniz: Had health issues a few years back. Recently divorced. 13. Tone Loc: Lesser-known rapper and actor with health issues a few years back. 14. Rupert Grint: Car accident. No one saw it coming. All of Britain mourns. At the autopsy, it's discovered that it's actually Ed Sheeran who died and Rupert is still alive. LOL. 15. Atticus Shaffer: Young lad with a disease that makes his bones very fragile... 16. Corey Feldman: Suicide due to childhood trauma getting the better of him. 17. That girl in all of Sias videos, M*dd*e Z*egl*r, out of exhaustion for CONSTANTLY having to do weird choreographies like LaBoeuf in a cage. Give the child a break, will ya Sia?? 18. Eminem: Might relapse into his valium addiction. 19. Pitbull: This is just wishful thinking because he's butchered countless good and catchy songs with his mere vocal presence. 20. Orlando Brown: Former Disney star, really weird these days. There was this one interview where he seemed high on something.

I can imagine Morbidkid researching the poll options before voting, typing in "harry husky" in the Google search box and thinking to himself: "that husky guy looks really great for a centnarian, maby a bit furry but still..."

Lenny Bruce's thread would've been interesting back in the 1960s.

C.-H. Hermansson died on July 26, 2016: http://www.svd.se/hermansson-skamdes-over-hyllningen-till-stalin And now Guje Lagerwall is the only person still alive from the list...Maybe it's time for a new list?

As a last resort, if everything else fails, doctors are developing a two-step strategy on how Gordon Banks can be cured.

Damn. I just found out that Robert Pirsig's mother was Swedish and that he used to live there in the mid-80s! This selection is suddenly extremely awesome. Finally a (half) Swede on the DL. Well done, committee. God bless ya!

You stupid boy Fourth ban. Give it up doc, you're boring me with your pm's.You accidentally inserted an apostrophe in your sentence, Paul.

your mom.Why can't you be more like your friendly and cheerful twin brother Stanley from the Don Bluth classic A Troll in Central Park? Rudeness won't get you anywhere. got me into your mom's pussy. Uhmm, no. My mom's WAY out of your league. Realistically, you have a better chance at hooking up with someone like Zorders' mom who probably plays in the effing Vanarama National North League... @Toast: Ah, ok. My bad. Must've been before my time here.

your mom. Why can't you be more like your friendly and cheerful twin brother Stanley from the Don Bluth classic A Troll in Central Park? Rudeness won't get you anywhere.
