NESALK'S 2009/2010 POOL OF DEATH--OFFICIAL PICKS THREAD!!!

THE TIME HAS COME!!!

This is where you post your list of the 20 people most likely to die between whenever you post them and 11:59 P.M. (PST) on December 31, 2010.

The deadline for picks is 11:59 P.M. (PDT) Monday, May 25 (Memorial Day). You can post them here, or PM them to me if you don't want anyone to copy you. Either way your picks start as soon as you submit them. In other words, if you pick somebody and they die before May 25 he/she still counts (as long as you don't edit your post.

Don't forget to pick a joker, who counts for double points if and when they croak.

Don't forget to name your team either.

GOOD LUCK ONE AND ALL!!!

DANNY GANS AND NESALK

Sorry, neither are eligible.

Gans is already dead, and you can only use first and last names of actual people--not nicknames, names of posters, etc.

Please remember to read the rules.

Hmmm. Interesting dilemma. I'll wait to see if someone goes on death watch over the next 3 weeks.

Dick Cheney - tragic accident while masturbating to a Valerie Plame poster.

Condi Rice - hair straightener burned a hole in what's left of her heart.

Donald Rumsfeld - humiliation while reading one of his own speeches.

Rush Limbaugh - infected pimple on ass.

Phil Gramm - incinerated on a pile of credit default swaps.
