my first 6:

Angus Young
Tony Rice
Herbie Hancock
Macaulay Culkin
Tony Danza
Betty White

Let me think about the rest

I don't have the heart to even nominate Joni, though I suspect you guys are right about that one. That is going to suck

So, let's pick the dead pool list..

Mark E Smith
Jeremy Corbin
John Lydon
Meat Loaf
Robert Smith
Macca
Beth Orton
Naga Munchetty
Tom Waits
Tom Verlaine

15? Oh, OK..

Frank Beard
Penn
Teller
Mo Tucker
Since

Cheers, MG

Sice, not Since, whoever he might be..

my 11-15

Colin Meads
Tommy Chong
Michael J. Anderson (actor)
Selena Gomez
Junrey Balawing

Mark G, do you have some sort of inside tip on Naga Munchetty, or is it just a random punt?

Sheesh, no more super young people like Selena Gomez please. Too bleak

Nick Nolte

Lil Wayne

Sheesh yourself treesh, there's the scoring system to consider

lol at someone calling for decorum in a dead pool thread

Sir Clive Sinclair

I was gonna pick one of the Royal babies but those things live to be a thousand

I have a strong apocalyptic feeling about 2017, so if there's a dead pool next year I'm gonna take a risk and fill my ballot with celebrity babies. sorry, Prince Alexander Duke of Södermanland, but if the world ends next year, you're going with it, and I may as well get some posthumous fake internet points out of the deal.

tbh I might do this just to outrage Treeship

I didnt know about the scoring. Not going to participate in this for superstitious reasons xp

Fair enough!

calzino I'll take that bet btw (even tho Moore is older)

ok the bet is on.

my 8-15

Dean Windass
Aretha Franklin
Jimmy Greaves
Prince Henry of Wales*
Prince William, Duke of Cambridge*
Catherine, Duchess of Cambridge*
Princess Charlotte of Wales*
Prince William, Duke of Cambridge*
* all vapourised in the same terrorist attack

Depardieu is looking rough as fuck, but I could see him hanging on much longer. He seems like one them types that will defy his unhealthiness - because why die when you have loads of money and are very comfortable in your skin.

rumours building

pics or it didn't happen

agreed

don't even joke about Soulseek for goodness sake, that would be in bad taste.

Fully intend to honour this btw calzino, send me your email address & I'll send you an Amazon voucher or something

I doubly feel a bit awkward about profiting from a death-bet + such a nice poster, even though I made the bet with you in the first place. If you see someone looking completely desperate and on their arse; give it to them and say it is a gift from big Rog of Streatham!

Aw - I will do!

Anyone compile a winner yet?

My score is 207

Mary Tyler Moore = 20
Glen Campbell = 19
Gord Downie = 47
Errol Christie = 47
Joost van der Westhuizen = 55
Colin Meads = 19

hits for other people:
Chuck Berry for 10
Adam West for 12
Bruce Forsyth for 11
Charles Manson for 17
Bruce Forsyth for 11
Ian Brady for 21
Stanisław Skrowaczewski for 5
Antony Mithradas for 0
David Cassidy for 33
David Axelrod (musician) for 15
Hugh Hefner for 9
John Wetton for 33
martin mcguinness for 34

didn't check sarahell's list of pedopriests. i'll figure out who won tomorrow if no one else does.

I forgot I'd offered to do this.

My total is 153

11 - Bruce Forsyth
19 - Glenn Campbell
55 - Joost van der Westhuizen
47 - Gord Downie
21 - Ian Brady

None on my list met with any terrible fate, so that's nice I suppose.

Can a mod delete me from this? If I actually die I don't want someone to copy that post and write "whoa" under it. They would just be scolded by someone else, and then fred b would post something like "oh so that is out of line but it was ok for darraghmac to call me the c word?" It would just spiral from there and I want to get ahead of this, as my dying wish.

lmao

rip treeship. killed by forgetting his password. hello treeship 2, and points to sleepingbag, I guess. also rip sleepingbag.

Sleepingbag isnt dead

He was just put to sleep for 30 days

He will rise like unwanted morning wood

oh damn, i didn't see that he got 51'd. was their any specific incident or was it just months of low level provocations?

He was 51d the one time he was actually articulating and expressing his pov in the weinstein thread I believe

huh. it looks like he tried to be the conservative voice of opposition i was saying we lacked on the controversial opinions thread. not exactly what i had in mind but good effort i guess.

It’s wild how often conservative voices of opposition turn out to be rape apologists

recap / discussion here, LBI was otm:

ADMIN LOG WATCH 2

funny that it happened like the one time he actually bothered to try to explain the initial tossed off dickhead comment
