I'll have my list in before the deadline. I'm checking to make sure some of them aren't already dead so I don't look too foolish. Although I think I have a lot of longshots on my list, so I'll probably end up looking foolish anyway.

Once you've decided to participate in this thing, the last thing you need to worry about is looking foolish.

Ha ha ha LMAO Since you put it that way, yea, it's pretty pathetic isn't it?


TIS

OK, blibbleblabble joined today.

Is eight enough???

Dick Van Patton? He still alive?

You gonna add him to your list DC?

Anyway, is 8 the total number of people who wanted to join in SC? I see no harm waiting until the 30 (or was it 31st). I am looking forward to seeing the names everyone chose. I can imagine I'll be saying "Why didn't I think of that one?"
May the best woman (ok... or man) win?


TIS

Yeah, we have eight participants. Every one of us has one name that appears on all our lists.

50½ hours left to join in.

Did ya get my list SC?

I can just picture SC looking at all of our lists and thinking "I didn't think of that one, that's a good one!" and optimizing his list.

I'm pissed that I missed a few good ones (that I've seen on others' lists). I thought I'd have a big advantage by benefit of me being in a Dead Pool this year (and gaining SOME experience from it). I was wrong.

Mignon has joined us. There are nine of us now. AND that one name still remains constant on everyone's list!

I think I know who's "name" it is that we all have on our list. Who knows, that person may outlive us all.



TIS

I think I might know to TIS. I'm looking forward to see who it is. Sorry that is a little sick on my part.

Yea, I guess we all need to be a little sick to particpate in this kind of thing no? Blame SC, that's what I say.


TIS

TIS, you get rowdy when you're on vacation too long. Its time for you to go back to work.

As my old grandmother reminded me when I told her about this game, "Life is for the living."

She then exhaled a puff of cigarette smoke, and drained her Manhattan.

What a great attitude, klydon. She's my kind of person!!

She is. If she were 40 years younger, I'd introduce you.

Ha ha ha!!!! Hey didn't you hear? 90 is the new 60, so it's all good.


TIS

You got any single aunts??

LAST CALL FOR NEW PARTICIPANTS

All entries must be PM'd to me by midnight tonight (Eastern time). You have 16 hours if you want to submit a list.

There are currently nine participants.

Yeah, but she's a nun.

I have an aunt, who is several years younger than I am. My mother's baby brother married a girl 17 years his junior. i always make a point to call her "aunt."

So SC, you'll be posting our lists at what? 12:01??



TIS

Why do I get the impression you're anxious to see them??

Yeah, I'll post them after midnight if nobody else joins.

So far we have 9 participants.

SC,

Ha ha!!! I am looking forward to seeing them, but don't feel rushed. I am kidding.

Happy New Year my friend.


TIS

And a Happy New Year to you, sweetie!

************************************************

Thanks for posting SC. Lot of good guesses. Some are kind of surprising, but you never really know. Gosh, no disrespect, but Jackie Cooper, I know started acting as a kid, but damn, seems like he should be 105 by now no? I forgot he was still around.


Is Betty Ford the one we all had???? Anyway, very interesting.


TIS

No.... I posted it earlier (before the lists). Kirk Douglas is the one name on ALL lists.

BTW - Dick Clark appears on a number of lists.

Oh, I'm sorry. I missed it. Wow, and Barack Obama??? Gee, I hope not, but you never know. Seems any political figure could be a target these days.
