The Gull Reaper
For the record, I’ve pegged three of the ten on my death pool list for this year.
1. Kirk Douglas
2. Roger Ebert
3. Zsazsa Gabor
4. Ernest Gallo
5. Vaclav Havel
6. Ladybird Johnson
7. Peter O’toole
8. J.D. Salinger
9. Studs Terkel
10. Jane Wyman
Creepy? Cool? Creepy-cool?
For the record, I’m very close behind…
1.
Ladybird Johnson2. Billy Graham
3. Nancy Reagan
4. Nelson Mandela
5. Albert Hoffman
6. Margaret Thatcher
7. Queen Elizabeth II
8. Betty Ford
9.
Luciano Pavarotti10. Paris Hilton
You’re right, Mike. In fact you’re right behind me among pool members. The way the numbers are shaping up, I call Ebert and/or Salinger next. Evens are outs.
I still contend that it is going to be a bad year for women in government– first ladies, queens, prime ministers, etc.
It seems that, post-jail, my Paris Hilton pick is probably inaccurate for this year, but there was a while there where it seemed she was a serious “maybe” on my list. Eh, I suppose she’s still just one night of binge drinking away.
Do you get bonus points for picking younger people? Do you count points by age (subtracting from 100)?
Peter O’Toole is still alive?? Who knew?
