Are we having 2009 death pool? - Michman - 12-19-2008
????????????
Post 20. I will come up with the rules this weekend. Everyone can submit their picks starting Monday. You have until midnight on New Years eve to make your picks. Once the contest starts I will post everyone picks here for everyone to see. More rules to follow.....
PS. Pines...Please dont put ruckus on the top of your list.
PSS. Ruckus. Dont be putting Pines on your list either
Rules:
You must submit a list of 20 names.
Scoring:
Age points - The player is awarded (100 - Celeb's Age at death) points. Celebs over 100 earn 0 age points
Game Dates
The game starts at 12:01 a.m. (EDT) 1/1/2009, and ends at 11:59 p.m. (EDT) 12/31/2009.
Any celebrity death not announced by the end of the game (12/31/2009 11:59 p.m. (EDT)) does not count. Likewise, any deaths that occur BEFORE the start of the game (1/1/2009 12:01 a.m. (EDT)) will not count, even if the death was not announced until AFTER the game started. PLEASE NOTE: ALL PEOPLE WHO HAVE SUBMITTED LISTS BEFORE THIS POST WILL GET CREDIT IF ANY OF THEIR PEOPLE HAVE DIED. OTHERWISE ALL ENTRIED MUST BE SUBMITTED BYJAN 6TH 2009. ANYBODY ENTERING A LIST ON JAN 6TH WILL NOT GET CREDIT FOR THE DEATH IF IT OCCURS BETWEEN JAN 4TH AND JAN 6TH 2009.
That said, here are a couple of specific conditions:
1. The celebrity must be nationally known. Not just locally or regionally well-known.
2. Executions don't count. If you put a death-row inmate on your list, you'd better hope that they commit suicide if you want the credit.
3. No minors. Waiting for a child to die would stretch what little amount of taste resides in this game.
4.They must be famous for something OTHER than the fact that they haven't died already. The individual has to have had some level of fame BEFORE they got old and/or sick.
5. Only real humans allowed. No fictional characters, no companies, no fads/concepts, no governments, no animals. How much clearer do I need to be?

Are we having 2009 death pool? - bam - 12-19-2008
I'm not quite certain. I'm hoping it has something to do with betting on who is going to kick the bucket in 2009.

The only way Winehouse won't die next year is if she kicks it this year.

Amy Winehouse's trainwreck has been more entertaining than Britney's, Lindsay's, and Danny Bonaduce's combines.

how crazy is our culture where watching a guy slowly kill himself with pain killers is reality television?
