themaninblack 2,112 Posted January 2, 2008 So this is the list of 50 candidates which the DL committee will hope to overcome last year’s disappointing 10. But who will be the first? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Octopus of Odstock 2,187 Posted January 2, 2008 Pollack here again. But just looking at that list, I've just noticed Herbert Lom, Eli Wallach & Captain Beefheart were picked -Why?!? They're all healthier than me! (I don't think there's a thing wrong with Beefheart bar eccentricity - which is not really wrong anyway) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

They're all healthier than me! (I don't think there's a thing wrong with Beefheart bar eccentricity - which is not really wrong anyway) Eli Wallach was picked as it would be a shame to have a DL without a Magnificent Seven star on it. Herbert Lom is 90 odd and how can he have outlived Peter Sellers for going on 30 years? As for Captain Beefheart, I hardly even know who he is. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Herbert Lom is 90 odd and how can he have outlived Peter Sellers for going on 30 years? As for Captain Beefheart, I hardly even know who he is. I've just gone down the list and counted 26 of them who I wouldn't recognise if I met them in the street, even in their prime and that includes Beefheart, yet it's one of those names that has sort of always been there. Still it's not a bad list and I think it will do better than last year. I still don't know how Elizabeth Edwards crept on there - fame by association.

Octopus of Odstock 2,187 Posted January 2, 2008 Eli Wallach was picked as it would be a shame to have a DL without a Magnificent Seven star on it. In that case, Robert Vaughan should've been picked. But it's a much stronger line-up than last year's and the above is the only whinge/comment I'll make on the DL list this year as I have more than enough to do with the DDP. (And no, Deathlist cannot put their sub in to replace Frankie Laine - all of people, the DL should know the rules..... ) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Phantom 2,533 Posted January 2, 2008 Herbert Lom is 90 odd and how can he have outlived Peter Sellers for going on 30 years? Peter Sellers had a heart condition that was hereditary. His father died fairly young of a heart attack and of course his son Michael died of a heart attack at the age of 52 So if there's nothing that will dog Herbert Lom in terms of health, he could go on for a good few more years Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
The Miser 18 Posted January 2, 2008 Bobby Robson is my guess, although Pollack could be a quick one. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
football_fan 42 Posted January 2, 2008 Pollack gets my vote. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Phantom 2,533 Posted January 2, 2008 I voted for Pollack too. I'm usually wrong on these so I guess it makes no difference. I probably should vote for someone who I don't have on any of my DP lists in the hope that one that is, dies. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Godot 149 Posted January 2, 2008 It's when you see this kind of consensus and realise you don't have the bugger on your list that you get a kind of sinking feeling about your DDP prospects in the coming year. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Emily the Strange 2 Posted January 2, 2008 I voted for Clive Dunn. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Banshees Scream 110 Posted January 2, 2008 I'm the one who created Pollacks thread but I'm going to be self centered and say I think we will have to wait for him. I voted for Mark W. Felt. He was walking dead back in 2005 when he revealed his position in Watergate and I say it's time Deep Throat chokes. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
