2017 deadpool

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!

ok the bet is on.

Aretha Franklin
Jimmy Greaves
Prince Henry of Wales*
Prince William, Duke of Cambridge*

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.

Anyway, with apologies to Elvis Telecom:

some of us have made the odd distasteful joke itt, but to be completely serious for a moment, i want rupert murdoch to die in excruciating agony

prince philip

I'm too competitive--I'd be actively rooting for people on my list to die.

Will never forget when my dad woke me up on Xmas morning and told me James Brown had passed, and my first reaction was "Yes!" because I knew it put me in the lead.
