Oh, and I'll submit this week.

Jaguar · Daedalian Member

My theme list is done. Not sure if I'll be doing a regular list. I seem to be running out of time fast! I may just recycle last year's and randomly add a few new people to the list.

MatthewV · Daedalian Member :_

lexprod · NOT not a title

PuzzleScot · Daedalian Member

I'm in. PM Sent to Jag. Thinking of a theme now...

Jaguar · Daedalian Member

Updated to here, including MatthewV's change to Loretta Lynn.

The Great Crep'er · 2% Spambot

What the heck, I'll throw my own morbid intentions into this ring and put up a list, with a common trait among all. Extreme Delectation

Former Hosts of Saturday Night Live:
Buck Henry
Robert Klein
Elliot Gould
Rob Reiner
Dick Cavett
Norman Lear
Ralph Nader
Bob Newhart
Lily Tomlin
Sid Caesar
Ed Koch
Joan Rivers
Ed Asner
Danny DeVito
John Goodman
George Kennedy Jr.
Jerry Lewis
John McCain
Carrie Fisher
Jamie Lee Curtis

Replacements: (Should they be needed)
Christopher Walken
John Madden

Should I have included wikipedia articles (Not like they'll be sound or anything)? Is it a requirement?

Gah! I'm probably going to be kicking myself for not picking Hugh Heffner. Razz

We'll see.

I definitely appreciate the links. I just like linking the names so people can check who someone is. There are a few names I'd never heard off and wanted to check out. And it also helps to ensure that I'm grabbing the right person if there's more than one person with a particular name.

Jaguar · Daedalian Member

Happy New Year! Get your entries in for 2010!

Stubby · Member

I just sent my theme list. It's from 70s sitcoms (M*A*S*H, The Bob Newhart Show, All in the Family and The Mary Tyler Moore Show).

My favorite name is Peter Bonerz. I hope he lasts longer than the others.

Darn, I only see my picks matching with some of Stubs. Well, if THIS year is any like the last, people should be very profitable in points. Not that I'm erm...praising anyone's death.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Art_Clokey - The man who made and voiced Gumby died yesterday.

Cordelia · Daedelia Member

Every year I intend to do this, but every year I chicken out. It's delightfully morbid, but I must not be up to the task. Sigh. But I'll check in throughout the year with, again, morbid fascination. Good luck? to everyone. :)

Dang - we all the most obvious categorised list - war correspondents!

I was working on a list of "celebrities in listed in 'serious condition' on Dec. 31st", but it seemed a bit like ambulance chasing.

Jaguar · Daedalian Member

Miep Gies, one of the four who hid the Frank family and the lady who salvaged Anne Frank's diary, died Monday after a brief illness.

A single point and the opening kickoff go unclaimed.

PuzzleScot · Daedalian Member

Big points (41) gone begging for any ambulance chasers.. http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/entertainment/8458472.stm
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Teddy_Pendergrass

The Great Crep'er · 2% Spambot

Quailman · His Postmajesty

Opening kickoff goes to the person who entered the name of the first celebrity on our list to die thie year. It's still up for grabs. Last year Amb took that award (though no points) for listing the world's oldest person, who passed away January 2.

PuzzleScot · Daedalian Member

No points? He should have got 1.

From the rules:

Jaguar · Daedalian Member

JDTAY's list has been added. It appears to be a list of people who are american actors/actresses among the other things that they may be/do.

And most of the guys on the list are pretty dreamy, including McDreamy and McSteamy.

*down girl*

Late entries are allowed. The more the merrier!

JDTAY · obseletes now

It's the cast and director of "Valentine's Day", dood.

Jaguar · Daedalian Member

Lol. I knew I was missing something Cannibal

The Great Crep'er · 2% Spambot

You wish death upon Topher Grace?

*makes JDTAY a famous celebrity*

*puts JDTAY on his list*

*~~purposely~~ accidentally kills JDTAY*

Whoopsie. Twisted Evil

Jaguar · Daedalian Member

Wants to remind people of rule #7:

7. Attempting to deliberately cause the death of a chosen celebrity may result in disqualification.

Extreme Delectation

Good luck with trying to make JDTAY into a celeb, Crep Revenge most foul!

Chuck · Daedalian Member

Is it legal to try to make a dead person into a celebrity?

JDTAY · obseletes now

Well, I'm not gonna make the same mistake again next year. I'm gonna send my entry in on time.

You know, 'cause I already sent my anthrax to George Lopez. Oopsie daisy.

Glen Bell, founder of Taco Bell, dies at age 86.
