Welcome everyone to my favorite annual contest, the Celebrity Death Pool: 2014 Edition. It didn't look like Sarge had any plans to run one this year so I decided to jump the gun. Plus this is the first forum contest I've ever run which makes it doubly fun. The winner of the death pool will receive $30.

Same rules apply as before which are outlined here by Sarge himself:

Sarge wrote:

-List 10 living celebrities. You can edit your list up until the deadline.
-Each death earns points based on age. If your 24-year old dies, you would get 100-24= 76 points. A 98-year old earns you 2 points. Don't pick someone over 100, dumbass.
-You are allowed to pick another person if a death opens a spot on your list.
-Lists are due on January 10. Deaths start counting on January 11.
-Contest ends on December 15 and payment will be made shortly after (in time for Christmas).

Standings:
Ky-Guy: 33 points
@om*d: 18 points
JoshWoodzy: 7 points
Valdronius: 7 points

I've got a good feeling that this list is almost identical to Syd's enemies list. If he wins by a landslide it's because Syd killed these people.

Just a friendly reminder to get your lists in. Today is the last day.

Posted: Jan 10 2014 11:02 pm

Geeze, people. All you gotta do is list 10 names for a chance to win 30 bucks.

Posted: Jan 11 2014 12:07 am

Fine, I'll play the penny stocks.

1. Kirk Douglas
2. Ernest Borgnine
3. Mickey Rooney
4. James Earl Jones
5. Anthony Hopkins
6. Danny DeVito
7. William Shatner
8. Donald Sutherland
9. Burt Reynolds
10. Harrison Ford

Also, I didn't actually check to make sure they are all still alive. Bite me. Very Happy

Ernest Borgnine died two years ago.

Damn, Ky-Guy get Ariel Sharon on the first day of deaths counting towards this year's deathpool.

I figured he'd die soon. I've read the news reports of him being in a coma, in poor health, etc.

Posted: Jan 11 2014 03:11 pm

Yeah, I had him on my list the past two years and then I decided he was going to live forever in a coma, totally forgot to read any news on his condition. Good choice!

Posted: Jan 11 2014 07:47 pm

Ok, I'll replace Borgnine with Michael J. Fox.

Posted: Jan 16 2014 04:51 pm

Ky-Guy takes an early lead with 15 points. Name your replacement, Ky-Guy.

Posted: Feb 20 2014 09:02 pm

I'll have to make a replacement for Ariel Sharon, will I?

I'd deeply hate to add him to the list, as I really like him, but Adam West is pretty advanced in age, in my honest opinion.

Posted: Jun 15 2014 01:18 pm

Going to replace Casey Kasem with Penny Marshall.

Posted: Jun 15 2014 11:37 pm

Yeah, I'll have to replace Casey Kasem, as well. I think I'll throw in another one of those high-risk celebrities.

I think I'll take a chance with Miley Cyrus.

Guys, this thread needs to be updated badly.

Posted: Jul 19 2014 03:50 pm

im still at zero deaths. damn it why is no one dying?!

Posted: Aug 12 2014 03:23 am

Updated. Was that it? Just Casey Kasem? I'll be damned if I'm going to Wikipedia all these names. If it doesn't get updated but you list a new name, it still stands in case that's what you were worried about.

I think Larry Kramer (off of my list) is also dead. If confirmed, I would like to replace him with Nouri al-Maliki (Iraqi Prime Minister). I will check later this afternoon when I get home from work.

I can’t believe that people will be making money over a 2014 celebrity death pool. I mean seriously people don’t you have anything constructive to do with your lives instead of predicting people’s deaths.

Shut the fuck up.
