In hindsight, should have been an obvious pick, but it looks like only three people had him.
He was on my short list but I left him off because I thought he'd make it another year. I should have factored in the effect the blow to his reputation would have on his will to live.

Re: Your 8th Annual Celebrity Death Pool. 2012 Edition.

can someone remind me next year when the year is ending that I need to get in my pics? I always forget to participate until too late. Le sigh.

Like by, say, sometime in December opening a thread that tells people to make their picks and includes the rules conveniently in the new thread that is titled in such a way to let people know that it there is a death pool for the upcoming year? Sure. No problem. I should have thought of that sooner.

OK, maybe I should have said "...can someone email me to check the board" my bad.

1 tell the husband that for xmas next year you'd like a reminder re the death pool, in addition to whatever jewelry and real estate you will also get.

2 for now post a list of 10 here. at least you can talk shit if you get lots of hits.

If we are playing a game of scrabble in December, I will do my best to remember to mention it to you.

2 -- except that you can't say that you'd have put Etta or JoePa on your list if you'd have remembered.

And if you post a list and come to trash talk about how well you'd have done,** then you'll see NCS's reminder and won't need an email. Problem solved!




**But considering that NCS already has 2 hits and a bunch of us already have one, your list will have to be stellar to do much trash talking.

Great, I'll have to take the pummelings just to get the CDP reminder.

Hank and Weed come here just for the pummeling. Without these boards, they'd each be keeping an S&M dominatrix in business.

But let's keep that on the QT. Each one is secretly convinced he's a top.
