Is Peter O'Toole on any ones list?

I have six newscasters on my list. Of course, Tim Russert isn't one of them.

He's one of those shocker deaths that we say "who would have thought?" I really am stunned.



TIS

With Peter Jennings he had cancer so his death, while sad, was no shocker. The broadcasting "family" has to bury two colleagues with in a couple of years.

Anyone got any Mafia deaths on their list?

I think 96 year old Albert Facchiano, Genovese Soldier from Florida will go this year.

Page 6 of this thread has a breakdown of everyone picked.

It's amazing that all of those 60 Minute guys are pushing 90, but we lose Tim Russert. He's going to be missed on Election Night.

Anyone have Russert? I dont think so.

No, nobody picked Russert.

Although i didn't enter im curious to know what scores people have got at the half way stage of the year..

Check the top of Page 6 ... you'll see the totals (of course I'm winning, just liking I'm kicking your redcoat ass in European soccer of all things! Did I mention that elsewhere? )

Why am I happy about being in second place?

Not only is £3000 on Jimmy Carter dying this year, but I put another £3000 on Paul Newman going too. If I win both, it's £12,000!

Don Cardi scores his second hit with Cyd Charise. He's the only one of us who picked her.

Her husband, Tony Martin, is still alive?!

He must've gone to school with Moses, but hey, God bless!

Yeah. I hadda look it up, but he's still alive. He's 95!

I remember that one song of his, HERE IN MY HEART, as an Italian restaurant staple. Funny thing is, I believe he's a Polish-Jew. Not that it matters.

Ehh... Italians are the same as Jews. They just have better food.

(don't blame me, Tony Soprano said it).

You'll never get an argument from me, my friend. I've known it all my life.

I tell my Jewish friends all the time (yourself included), that if a Jew spots something in an Italian that he doesn't like, or an Italian spots something in a Jew that he doesn't like, it's only because he's seeing himself. I mean, who really likes himself?

From our guilt based theologies, to our overbearing and slightly psychotic mothers, we are EXACTLY the same.

Sunset Bagels, in Sunset Park (Brooklyn, for you poor bastards who aren't from New York), is a bagel shop run by Italians. That quote (from Tony Soprano), is posted on the wall when you walk in.

Congrats Cardi.

I had to look her up. She didn't ring any bells. RIP

Does the name Quasimodo ring a bell?

Of course.

Ahhh... that's only because you're in Ohio and Notre Dame is in Indiana, next door to you.

Name don't, but his rings a bell.
