Phantom 2,531 Posted June 29, 2015 Is he dead yet?no*facepalm* No really, he's alive. If you guys are rooting for someone to die, why not just go for the evil guys (Mugabe, Castro), or at least those who are terminal or just zombies anyways (like Crowe or Gabor)? Who's 'rooting' for him to die? I think people miss the whole point of a dead pool. It's a game of prediction, not that of wishful thinking. 8 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Who's 'rooting' for him to die? I think people miss the whole point of a dead pool. It's a game of prediction, not that of wishful thinking. Well, as I see it, until you make your dead pool team, it's a game of prediction. If you have assembled it, all you can do is hope that the candidates on your list expire but those on other people's list don't. That's only natural if you want to win, and why wouldn't you? Of course, everyone is aware of the social/cultural norms we are expected to adhere to, and that wishing that someone would die is regarded as a sinful thought so not many people would admit to actively rooting for their candidates. But Mugabe is an evil person, so I can wish for his death, can't I? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

But Mugabe is an evil person, so I can wish for his death, can't I? It's entirely up to you. In the past there was one person I was hoping to die for some time and that was Margaret Thatcher. Of course when the day came, I punched the air and felt strangely uplifted in my mood but then I realized that there are many who keep her policies and ideals alive, so it was a sort of empty victory for me.

Predictor 1,018 Posted October 15, 2015 Al Molinaro was a decent actor. No, make that an adequate actor. No, make that a gifted actor. 1. Marlon Brando 2. Daniel Day-Lewis 3. Al Molinaro IMO Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

RadGuy 1,614 Posted October 31, 2015 I originally predicted Martin Crowe to die on Halloween and be unlucky 13 on the new sweepstakes for him. I then changed my prediction. It looks like unlucky 13 is a day before Halloween, and Al Molinaro. Either way, the Deathlist had a very successful October and I got 2 hits within a week on my Personal Deathlist, which has had a dry spell since May. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Fergie86 374 Posted October 31, 2015 Always thought Al Molinaro died years ago and it was never picked up on, shows how wrong i was, still 96 is a fantastic age RIP. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

GossipGabe 333 Posted October 31, 2015 Bummer! These old actors are dropping like flies lately. It might be a record year if Crowe decides to stop defying the odds. But even if he doesn't, we have some other people with incurable diseases (Harper, Clive James or van der Westhuisen) and yet others who are very old and were hospitalized this year (Kohl, Schmidt, Bhumibol Adulyadej, Leslie Phillips). There must be something in air in 2015. Maybe the NOx emissions from Volkswagen cars? 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Nope. All it proves is that Al Molinaro died some time ago, was resurrected and has now ascended to Heaven again, like Jesus. Saint Al died for our sins (gluttony, in particular). May He rest in peace. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sir Creep 7,070 Posted October 31, 2015 Son says complications from gall stone problems. Since when do we care why anyone dies. They're all numbers. They're hits or misses. On or off. 1s or 0s. Who cares? Decapitated by ISIS or gently drifted off whilst asleep. How does it matter? Did you Fn score a point or didn't you? Well?

gcreptile 10,963 Posted October 31, 2015 Oh wow, impressive hit rate for the Death List. I seem to recall that I read about Al visiting some baseball game a couple of weeks ago. So I thought he'd be fine for a while - but I might have confused him with Jake Lamotta. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Well I think most would prefer old Al a more natural cause than being beheaded by a bunch of sicko Islamist fucks, surely nobody disliked him that much??
