Inverse Dead Pool 2024

[livingbygrace 346]

What seems beyond crazy is that the two bottom people that were least picked to survive are still alive! Jimmy Carter and Steve McMichael are both alive with almost 3/4th of the year gone.

Janey Godley has died. Never saw Trump re-elected/beaten, outlived by Jimmy Carter.

There goes any chance of me winning this pool

Yeah, but I'm staying in the running for being the absolute bottom of this. Next year I'm doing my lists for dp's and inverse exactly the same - with one crucial difference - once they're done I'm swapping them.

Damn Godley. Zero to history in a lack of heartbeat.

Sorry about that @Pedro67  I think the board on the next update is going to change drastically.  Godley was a bad hit for many.

Janey Godley Has Died...

 

...but I haven't updated for Bob Newhart's death yet.

 

To be honest, I've been putting this off for months due to an annoying combination of 1: Newhart seemingly being very famous with a long illustrious career, and 2: me personally having no idea who he is. I don't mind not having heard of them when I only have a Wikipedia stub's worth of reading to do – pretty straightforward to get the gist of "Tom Smith (rugby union, born 1971)" – but having to read up on 6 decades of American TV, up to and including The Big Bang Theory and Young Sheldon? Kill me.

 

Anyway, I've finally got my act together, and here's my thoughtful, well-researched obit:

 

Looks like Bob really will need a "New hart" now!!!

 

You're welcome. Here are the belated scores for after Newhart's death. If you're still doing well here, relish it before I write up Janey Godley's annihilation of you.

The only reason I know of Bob Newhart is his comic monologues which were popular listening way back in my student days.  Worth a listen if you've never heard them.  Have a look on Youtube.  The Driving Instructor, Bus Driver Training, Sir Walter Raleigh and Tobacco, et al
