Death list winner

Mr. Tim Finnagain is really starting to creep me out. He's the Celebrity Death List winner for the third straight year after correctly predicting the demise of Lady Bird Johnson and Brooke Astor.
That follows his 2006 win for Shelley Winters, John Kenneth Galbraith and his 2005 win for the Pope and Arthur Miller (what do you 'spose those two are talking about in the afterlife?). And Finnagain was only one year off on Boris Yeltsin.
Nobody else even correctly predicted the death of one person this year.
Head on over to Catfish Vegas Presents... to offer up your predictions for 2008.

Ike Turner

Anybody? Ike Turner? Drat...

Nobody

Too bad nobody had Luciano Pavarotti. I guess Jackson P. Napes came closest with Dom DeLuise, but close only counts in hand grenades and latrines.

Her last act of philanthropy

Donating another mark in Mr. Finnagain's tally:

Brooke Astor kicks the bucket.

Lady Bird...

And Mr. Finnagain leaps into the lead for 2007. Well picked.

Yeesh...

Things aren't lookin' so good for Bo Diddley either.

There he goes

Bummer about Boris Yeltsin...

Death Pool 2007

Who can dethrone Mr. Tim Finnagain, the two-time defending champion in the Death Pool?

It's too bad Saddam already got hanged, 'cause I would've been all over that one.

Now it's time for you to predict the demise of famous people in 2007. (A note from Mr. Finnagain: Remember, Ted Williams died in 2002, so don't waste your time.)

Think far and wide, and remember, not everyboyd who dies is old, some have crazy freak accidents (Steve Irwin). Deadline to respond (in the comments section) is December 31.


UPDATE: Due to lack of responses, the deadline has been extended until Jan. 7.

UPDATE 2: Again, let's extend this deadline, until Jan. 13.

Update

T. Finnagain: 2 (Shelley Winters, John Kenneth Galbraith)

Shankara Chase: 1 (Jack Palance)

Catfish Vegas: 1 (Gerald Ford)

3 days remaining...

AND DON'T FORGET TO GET YOUR 2007 ENTRIES IN!!!!!!!!

DEADline: Dec. 31, 2006 at 11:59pm

Death List 2007

Announcement: There will be no Death List 2007. I've lost interest.

For 2006, one week remains, but so far I have 2 deaths correctly guessed, Shankara Chase has one with Jack Palance, and nobody else has any... So if nothing changes in the next eight days, I win.

Funny money

Forget about Borat, Kazakhstan ought to be more worried about this.

Oh shit!

Perhaps this is a bit late, but happy Friday the 13th everybody!
Now go cause a ruckus or do some crazy creepy shit!
Peace!
