Celebrity Death Pool 2013 - Winner: deebakes

[DemonGeminiX]

How are we defining celebs?

Do politicians/ex-politicians and royalty count? You know, Jimmy Carter and HW are both getting a little long in the tooth. Prince Phillip, too. Do assassinations count? Obama avoided any attempts on his life in his first term, but given the crap that may occur come next year, ya never know... (Don't be concerned if I disappear for a long time, it was just the secret service coming to take me away...). Surely the Syrian and/or Egyptian Presidents have pissed off their people enough for somebody to want to take a shot at them.

How about famous scientists? Stephen Hawking seems like a good bet.

What about incarcerated celebs? OJ might get shanked in prison, ya know.

Can we count religious figures?

It seems Lindsay Lohan would be the obvious choice, but for some odd reason, I'm thinking she's gonna be her generation's Keith Richards.

I think I'll make a list a little closer to January, if I remember. I'd hate to come up with a list and some of the entrants buy the farm before the new year comes around. I just want to be sure that the one's I'm thinking of all make it to 2013.

Of course, if it comes to pass that we all bite the bullet on December 21st, well then, there ya go...

Oh wait, Lindsay will turn 27 next year... the 27 club... hmmm...

How are we defining celebs?

Any reasonably well known public figure. Politicians, famous scientists, movie actors/actresses, reality TV stars, etc, and the like are all fair game.

I have my 15... afraid to change it now.

Still working on narrowing it down. We have until the 31st, correct?

Yes, the sooner the better, but the deadline is the 31st.

You can change your list up until the lock-in date of December 31st. So if you submit your list and someone on it dies before Dec 31st, you can substitute someone else in.

[Oofty Goofty]

So the "death dates" have to be between January 1st and December 31st 2013 - If a celebrity on someone's submitted list dies prior to January 1st, the death doesn't count, and a substitution must be made?
