magic johnson has had aids for 30 years and is still kicking, so sick people count. next year i think i'm going to ask to be put in charge of it you get 5 picks of sickly, frail people, and a stretch candidate. i always pick britney spears for that one.

Michael Jackson is still the pick of the year. I also like adding to your list--5 new names a year, so you don't have to worry about repeats.

I'm still confused...do the previous years picks roll over?
So last year we started with five, this year we have a total of 10?

Oh, there is no problem in picking sick people, its the timing in this instance that I would be dubious over.

Previous picks absolutely roll over. That way you don't have to pick the same people and can add to your list. More to root for!
I agree with Tom--I think Kenny was a couple months late this year, but that list can certainly carry forward to next year.

Unfortunately for me, I didn't know that when I picked...so I only have 8 due to my two duplicates: Bob Sheppard and Abe Vigoda

Considering the frequency that I log on to this board, I think March was the first time I saw the thread, and participated. When it comes to traffic generation and this board's need for it, I'm thinking you'll allow my picks.

Spades, is that blackmail? You're basically saying since we crave the posts, you make the rules. You have under 50 posts in over 2 years, Id like to see more out of you before you dictate policy.
Im no fan of this contest, thats why I am not in it. You wont win it this year anyway.
Oh, and this board is slow cause I have been on vacation 7 weeks so far this year, and thats really slowed our traffic.

Its going to be 10, after next week, my week in Oct, and my week in Nov.
Um, no...not hiring. One of the reasons they are doing this is probably to open up an easier road to fire people by clearing the decks on all the vacation time they would need to pay out.

That doesn't count. You get disqualified if you murder your pick.

Swayze is gone. Chalk one up for me, 4Dogg and Pete!
Pete should be nicknamed Mr. Hamburger, because the man is on a roll! Three out of his FIVE 2009 picks have died, and his other two are Steinbrenner and Bob Sheppard!

Oh, and this board is slow cause I have been on vacation 7 weeks so far this year, and thats really slowed our traffic. Holy shit Tom, way to stretch out some malarky. I never said you *crave* posts, I said the traffic is light here. Using myself as an example, I am logging on only BECAUSE the Dirty Dancin Outsider died Point Break and is now a Ghost. Lets see how well his method acting works this time eh? If I wasnt allowed to put up 5 names, I wouldnt be logging in now, right? Anyway, this "contest" is all in good morbid fun and there isnt any risk/reward at stake, so who cares? Besides, did I get any names in for 2008? Was it up on section 39.com? I dont recall seeing it until March. You want to say that those are my picks for 2010 instead? If they are, I got plenty of time to change 'em.

I think that's fair. You don't need to change them. You can carry them over and add more.

Balls, stop goofing around, and get the fantasy numbers up. 3 weeks left, and two teams fighting for the grand prize and under a dozen points apart. Enough with this.

Stop hijacking this thread, which is far more important. After all, people are dying to get mentioned in this thread.
