Hank, I'l figure out the tallies and put up the info for 2009 (hint: rules will be exactly the same) next week.

Now she's dead. The original Fashion Bettie.

Current Tally
 

Based on my comparison of the lists to the dead or alive site I check, here are the standings so far:

Two players have 3 hits:

tmdiva (tie-breaker points = 77)
barely legal (tie-breaker points = 46)

Fugee has 2 hits.

Five players have 1 hit each -- flinty, diane keaton, mmm burger, mr. man and ncs.

The other ten players have zero hits.

This is by far the worst we've done at picking celebrity deaths. And it is the first possible application of the tie-breaker rules. All three of the leaders are former winners. 15 days left... I'll be posting the board for 2009 later this week.

So did Dave Smith (former Astro closer) and actor Sam Bottoms (played pro surfer-turned-soldier Lance B. Johnson in Apocalypse Now')

You post this without a Charlie don't surf reference?

He's the subject of my oldest football (or any sport) card (a bowman from the 1940s). I wonder if the value went up?

Re: 5th Annual (2008 Version) Celebrity Death Pool!
 

I have baseball cards of him too. Any spike in value?

Re: 5th Annual (2008 Version) Celebrity Death Pool!
 

Paul Weyrich, 66.

No O-fer
 

I am on the board! No shut out here, with a bare 13 days to spare, Deep Throat kicked it - http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20081219/...e_us/obit_felt .

Re: No O-fer
 

Two players had him. Less moves out of the tie for last with 1 hit and tmdiva moves into first place all alone with 4 hits. Trying to make the 2008 pool at least somewhat respectable.
