I think the fact that he's been in a coma for 8 years is a good reason to count him. I thought about putting him on my list this year but didn't see any indication he wouldn't keep going for yet another year so I didn't choose him.

It would be a different story if he had been declared brain dead.

Don't be such a spoilsport, Hank. Kudos to those who dedicated a spot on their lists to him.

Sounds like you feel guilty for thinking about picking him, like Jimmy Carter lusting in his heart. I appreciate your admission. I expect those that did pick him will forfeit their points. We will see.

Quit being such a whiny little bitch. It's not like we have money or sex riding on this.

Guilty??? No way! I'm bummed I assumed he'd hang on for another year!

You've just got sour grapes because you didn't pick him yourself.

I wouldn't know. I have never even come close. I thought I was a lock for Angel of Mercy for a couple of years.

I think the fact that 30% of us have picked him year after year for the last 7-8 years and only in the year that he dies does Hank raise an objection is a good reason to count the pick.

Or are you saying we cannot pick the old, weak and infirm? Last year, could I not pick Mandela? Can I not pick Cheney with his four heart procedures? The fucking point is to research who is closest to death. And I have consistently sucked with Sharon.

Actually, the point of a Death Pool, is to insult others pick when they score, and mock the others when you score.

I've had him on my list forever, but forgot to get my picks in this year.
