The Eleventh 2008 Success Poll

[Lady Grendel 139]

Vote for No. 11 here.

[themaninblack 2,112]

I've gone for Billy Graham. It's getting tougher to choose with 10 already gone...

[Vaagheid 141]

Herbert Lom

 

Just to be original

[maryportfuncity 10,646]

Betty Ford, cos today is the women's final at Wimbledon and I perceive a mystical message linking 'woman' and 'final,' or summat.

[Deadly Fairy 0]

Jake Lamotta randomly selected

[Ravens_Eden 0]

Elziabeth Edwards To continue The North Carolina theme Billy G was too obvious of a choice

[One shot Paddy 1,206]

Delaurentiis.

[Canadian Paul 97]

Ariel Sharon, since MPFC has already covered what my other guess would have been.

[Death Impends 7,964]

Voted Felt

It's not like picking a football team at school. I mean, we can agree on summat with this poll. I was thinking Graham but none of my other 'obvious' guesses have come up this year so the aged and - currently - quiet Betty Ford seemed a reasonable punt.

[Handrejka 1,903]

Solzhenitsyn

[Octopus of Odstock 2,194]

Solzhenitsyn

 

Ditto.

[Phantom 2,533]

D'Oliveira

[To die for 3]

Zsa Zsa Gabor, well, why not?

[DevonDeathTrip 2,358]

Levi Stubbs. Soon to be swathed by the sword of time.

[Dave to the Grave 11]

Having never voted on a 'success poll' before, and it becoming a regular event with the current rate of success, I thought it would help if I had a theme. So with Captain Beefheart, Norman Wisdom, and Michael Foot on the list, body parts it is. Since someone has voted for Ditto, who despite a bit of a weight problem, isn't on the list, I thought keeping on theme I would vote for Brad Pitt, but I can't, so Beefheart it is.

I find the theme idea very helpful, but 'crackers' was too narrow a category so I chose 'food'. That leaves me with Captain Beefheart, Basil d'Oliviera and Billy Graham. My vote this time went to Billy Graham(again).

[Banshees Scream 110]

I've evaluated my options and I've drawn the conclusion that my vote for hit number 11 will be Basil D'Oliveira. Who can be bothered waiting for Shamir or Felt at this point? I'm scouting by impulse instead of the obvious this time.

[Eesti 151]

Going for Betty Ford

[Pretty In Pink 1]

Fats Domino

[The Miser 18]

Levi Stubbs....

[Windsor 2,233]

Rev. Billy Graham.

[millwall32 114]

I've been voting for Ronnie Biggs as the next to go for about three years now,always more in hope than expectation.

Still, I did so again and hope this time it comes true...

[Paul Bearer 6,101]

Breaks my heart to say it, but my vote goes to Patick Moore.

[BrunoBrimley 86]

The list is too damned long so I am abstaining at this time from registering a vote.

 

 

If I were to make a selection I would select one of the persons not currently listed unless they are.

 

 

That is all.
