New thread started to find out just exactly who can beat old Grimey. Show us yer stuff.

 

Two lists already transferred to this thread. Let me know if I've missed any and I'll merge it here.

[RadGuy 1,614]

Erm, well, we already have "Shadow Lists" and "Crowdsourced Deathlist" threads, so I don't see the point in this.

 

Also, yes, I think I'm better than the committee. They got 1 hit on their first list, I got 6. I had the advantage of modern technology during my first attempt, they had the advantage of not being a 14 year old dumbass.

[Paul Bearer 6,099]

OK. Stick yer 50 here then. Not pointless, too many people screaming out 'Why wasn't he/she on the list' Now's your chance to see how easy it is ;-)

[Lord Fellatio Nelson 6,218]

The 'committee' will just whore some more names off of various sites to replace the ones that have gone this year.

On the face of it, they have about as much interest in dead pooling as Bill Cosby has in shagging women who are not unconscious.

[Banshees Scream 110]

Through the night and after a number of drinks I assume the committee's judgement is sound enough to win a bet or two but I don't know. They might have an hour of clarity before the beers and the cheers begin. First beer doesn't count.

On a scale of St.Theresa to Paul Gascoine on a bender to Peter Adamson in his council bedsit how inebriated were the committee at the time of selection?

1) Shadow Lists don't have jokers, just rankings 1-50

2) We haven't thought about that, probably not.

Brilliant post.

14 names out of 50 and Anwar Sadat was president of Egypt and died in 1981 and Dahl died in 1990.

Apart from that, it was shite.
