So we each pick 5 celebrities * to die this year. Winner is person with most deaths by Dec. 2017.
* celebrities = anyone who gets mention in international news media....hollywood, music, politicos, athletes, etc.
Who's in?
ok..here I go:
Keith Richards (he has to go sometime)
Queen Lizzie (I change my pick if she dies before New Years)
Carl Palmer (to join his buddies in ELP)
Maradona (he IS still alive, right?)
Donald Trump
Elizabeth Taylor*, Barbara Streisand, the Queen Mum, that English fodbol juicehead, Richard Harris.
She might already be dead. I don't read People.

Hang on aren't two of those excluding Taylor also dead? By which I mean the Queen Mother and Richard Harris.
Talk about loading the bases. :P
As we are getting up there in age, and senility is setting in for at least one of us (looking at you Yi), maybe we should have a languish deadpool?

Hopkins

mongers could create a thread titled, "languish poster most likely to die alone?"

That is probably close to certain for a large number of us. We could all win in that pool. Which would counterbalance how so many of us are losing in life. :)

To be fair, two of your choices died 14 years ago and Taylor 5 1/2 years ago.
By football thingy do you mean Gazza (Paul Gascoigne) ?

You guys can do a trade a liver lobe for a kidney :contract:
Uh, my kidneys are quite vital to my survival. My kidneys shut down, the fluids build up and knocks the liver out and they might as well call the hospital priest for me again. They'd give me 48 hours.
Steal Tim's.

We could harvest him for his organs, but, really, are any of his worth having?
Though to be honest, given the health problems many of us have, I'm not sure any of us would be worth the effort.

Seriously, that's shit. My granny had to go to dialysis for the last 15 years of her life (she died in her mid-70s).

That's more like it. I'd swap Lukashenko for Wilders if he drops dead before the elections.
So no one scores points on Fr. Mulcahy?
Who picked Mary Tyler Moore?
The people of Seoul, Tokyo, and the West Coast. Oh, and probably a bunch of North Koreans, but it's harder to get worked up about that.

An entire generation of American men (at least two, if you include syndication) will always have those capri pants seared into the subconscious.
And MTM was such a great, important sitcom.
I didn't watch much of the MTM Show but I have been in love with Laura Petrie for a long, long time. :(
And I have never tripped over my Ottoman.
Course I've never had one but shush.
