Thanks, SV! Wow, DM is really running away with this... Did you notice my unusual strategy of putting Carl Reiner on the list twice?

Oh yea, Don Fanucci. I always chuckled when in GFII he was at the Italian Feast and as he walked away from the puppet show said "This is too violent for me."  RIP TIS

I see it's been noted in another thread, but actor Frank Vincent died today of complications during heart surgery.

Can't help but think that Plaw met him at the pearly gates and said, "Schmuck, it took you long enough. You gotta go downstairs".

Jamaican supercentenarian, Violet Brown who was the world's oldest living person died aged 117. I picked her.. This is becoming a little crazy. It's becoming a contest to see who can find the oldest people on earth of little notoriety (and yes, I'm guilty of it too). No fun in that. I propose we make some limit on these super old people on our lists for next year.

I propose we make some limit on these super old people on our lists for next year. How about we pick an age, say 80. If you pick someone in their 80s and they die, you get one point. If you pick someone in their 90s, you get 3/4 of a point. 100s - 1/2 point. 110s - 1/4 point. You could even go the other way and offer bonuses as the person picked is younger. 70s - 1.25, 60s - 1.5, 50s - 1.75. Might discourage simply googling the oldest living person.

Might discourage simply googling the oldest living person. Sounds like a plan to me. Maybe give a bonus point for any unique pick also.

Playboy founder, Hugh Hefner has passed away at 91. Truly the end of an era.  Geoff, SC, TIS and Mignon picked him. That makes four. However, after factoring in the Viagra that Hef was known to use, it automatically increases to eight.  I will be at half-staff for the rest of the week. Signor V.

Better that than being a stiff on this thread's list.

I'm missing some obvious choices and my long shots are not paying off.
