PILLS! PILLS! PILLS! 0 Report post Posted December 17, 2008 Jake will never die as long as his name is in the death pool. I was going to go with Scott Hall, but he's probably going to surpass everybody's expectations just as well. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

MarvinisaLunatic 0 Report post Posted December 18, 2008 If Marvin wins this year it's safe to say he's a Reaper. Maybe like one of those Reapers on Dead Like Me. Im counting on at least 2 of my picks to be 6 feet under by this time next year, and my best bets are possible candidates to die of assasinations/bombings/war etc which would be the 25 bonus points.

CanadianGuitarist 0 Report post Posted December 19, 2008 So is the last person alive from the Titanic qualified as a celebrity? Go ahead. Although: 80-99: 0 points 100+: -5 points I'm not sure why you'd want to. That didn't stop CanadianGuitarist from picking guys in that point range, though! If all four of them die, net profit of 10 points. It'll work. Errie Ball is five hundred years old, for christ's sake. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
