"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

I didn't actually expect or want Harry Gregg to die! 13 points? Is that right?

eight months pass...

from my list: Trebek, Genesis P-Orridge, RBG

stuff I noticed from other lists: Connery, McCoy Tyner, John Lewis (big RIP to Lewis)

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

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

so far I have

Nobby Stiles (22)
Genesis P-Orridge (30)
Terry Jones (23)
Frankie Banali (32)
David Dinkins (7)

is 114 points enough to win this horrible competition?

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...

In the end I had:

Terry Jones (23)
Little Richard (13)
Freeman Dyson (4)
Genesis P-Orridge (30)

For a non-winning total of 70 points.

Elvis Telecom, Tuesday, 29 December 2020 06:42 (three years ago) link

I only got GP-O. Who won?

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

it was a dumb “joke”, should’ve included some emojis

brimstead, Friday, 1 January 2021 19:49 (three years ago) link

I got 99.

wasdnuos (abanana), Friday, 1 January 2021 19:50 (three years ago) link
