If, by December, no-one mentioned has died, then we run a poll to pick a single victim from the lot and we all conspire to off them before the month is out.

On a board where underrated aerosmith, the tune is space, Owen P, xhuxk, and Ned Raggett regularly post, you use C-Man as an example?

yes.
There's a moral in there, some place.

Former South Dakota governor Bill Janklow has died, which means that last year's Dead Pool champ, unregistered, gets off to an early start.

Okay, which one of you guys tried to run over Gene Hackman? That's taking things a little too far.
― beachville, Saturday, 14 January 2012 13:10 (twelve years ago) link
Sinead O'Connor is sadly a contender. I do hope she pulls it together, but I doubt it.
― nathom, Saturday, 14 January 2012 15:36 (twelve years ago) link
Gov. Janklow was a colossal scumbag. good riddance and thanks for all the points.

(shrugs) I'll probably come in last place, unless some serious lightning strikes fall in my favor. This is what comes when you don't PLAY TO WIN.

Yeah, after taking Amy Winehouse off my final list and then having her die, my approach this year was to mostly go for younger musicians who've seemingly already hit bottom. (Or have been hospitalized for pneumonia due to an "undisclosed viral infection" who've had a partner die from certain other viral infections.) So mostly long shots that might or might not pay off.
