"elizabeth wurtzel"

damn did you have some inside knowledge on this one?

akm, Tuesday, 7 January 2020 22:40 (four years ago) link

Wurtzel's cancer was known and it's a common strategy in this game to pick cancer sufferers

RIP

wasdnous (abanana), Tuesday, 10 November 2020 21:35 (three years ago) link

Tom Smith (rugby union, born 1971)

this is a curious entry from your list!

I was thinking of adding Connery this year, flush with the success of getting Roger Moore right a few years back. But I had him down as a centenarian

calzino, Tuesday, 10 November 2020 21:53 (three years ago) link

Every year I look for minor celebrities with cancer. Also dwarfs, I've had success with dwarfs.

you might need to collect your prize!

calzino, Tuesday, 24 November 2020 13:34 (three years ago) link

I think my only "win" this year is Nicholas Parsons and I swear the BBC must have a shitload of pre-recorded eps of Just A Minute because it still seems to be on R4 every day ffs.

calzino, Tuesday, 24 November 2020 14:35 (three years ago) link

In 2021, you need to have a "live pool", where you get points for the oldest people who survive the year. Less nihilistic.

Halfway there but for you, Tuesday, 24 November 2020 15:04 (three years ago) link

I can still make it nihilistic by nominating Donald Trump.

好 now 烧烤 (Camaraderie at Arms Length), Tuesday, 24 November 2020 15:05 (three years ago) link

I can still make it nihilistic by nominating Donald Barron Trump.

calzino, Tuesday, 24 November 2020 15:21 (three years ago) link

suggesting that, instead of a dead pool 2021 you guys do a first trump out of the pool pool

the serious avant-garde universalist right now (forksclovetofu), Tuesday, 24 November 2020 16:52 (three years ago) link

one month passes...

For a non-winning total of 70 points.

joni mitchell jarre (anagram), Friday, 1 January 2021 16:52 (three years ago) link

Anyone get more than 114?

٩(͡๏̯͡๏)۶ (Camaraderie at Arms Length), Friday, 1 January 2021 17:35 (three years ago) link

Kirk Douglas is older than 114 amirite

brimstead, Friday, 1 January 2021 18:06 (three years ago) link

did anyone nominate Kirk Douglas?

٩(͡๏̯͡๏)۶ (Camaraderie at Arms Length), Friday, 1 January 2021 18:25 (three years ago) link

unperson in the 6th post

koogs, Friday, 1 January 2021 19:19 (three years ago) link

might just nominate the 10 oldest people in the world this year

٩(͡๏̯͡๏)۶ (Camaraderie at Arms Length), Friday, 1 January 2021 19:28 (three years ago) link

As explained in the first post of every thread tho you score 100-n points for a correct prediction, Douglas would have got you -3 points

Cheese flavoured Momus (wins), Friday, 1 January 2021 19:33 (three years ago) link

yeah, it would be done in order to mock the game and also death.

٩(͡๏̯͡๏)۶ (Camaraderie at Arms Length), Friday, 1 January 2021 19:35 (three years ago) link
