Balls, you had a NICE year in 2012!!! You won, I assume?

[MSBNYY]

Not sure. Kenny killed off a lot.

[MSBNYY]

We have 2 kills in 2013.

Conrad Bain and Ed Koch!

[MSBNYY]

Score another one for me! Bonnie Franklin is out of here!

[MSBNYY]

I feel like a hot dog today because I am on a roll!!! RIP Margaret Thatcher.

[withspades]

Sweet! I killed Bain!
BTW- FINALLY! I figured out how to break the fucking activation code and get back in here to the Heckle House. So frustrating too b/c this years picks are all political, and I missed one already. So...
Let me grab my old list and I'll be right back here in a minute...

[withspades]

I like Chris' style of adding the date of death next to each victim. I'll be imitating that format as well.

Here are my picks from previous years:
From 2008:
#1.) Jerry Lee Lewis - looked like hell at the '08 grammys.

From 2009:
2.) Bob Sheppard (July 2010)
3.) George Steinbrenner (July 2010)
4.) Ted Kennedy (August 2009)
5.) Sumner Redstone -- this recession will kill him
6.) Steve Jobs (Oct 2011)

From 2010:
7.) Jerry Lewis
8.) Andy Rooney (November 2011)
9.) Fidel Castro
10.) Conrad Bain (Jan 2013) 1st of 2013!
11.) Dennis Hopper (May 2010)

From 2011:
12.) Etta James (Jan 2012)
13.) Penny Marshall
14.) Senator Robert Byrd <---NOT AN OFFICIAL KILL! (He was dead at time of selection)
15.) Zsa Zsa <--- joining the bandwagon
16.) James Garner <--we share the same birthday!

First blood goes to Pete for Etta James. That one was a layup, given the late December prognosis, but I refused to take her on my pool because I think it was actually Pete who gave me the news.

'scuse me?
*ahem* I had Etta as my #1 for 2011!

From 2012:
17.) Jack Klugman (Dec 2012)
18.) Earnest Borgnine (July 2012)
19.) Phyllis Diller (August 2012)
20.) Sid Caesar <---A Jew from Yonkers
21.) Jonathan Winters (April 2013) WOO! 2nd kill of 2013!

My 2013 late-entry (again) predictions:
22.) Nelson Mandela
23.) Bob Dole
24.) Pope Benedict
25.) Yogi Berra
26.) MICKEY Rooney! OMG, I killed Andy Rooney, I gotta get Mickey too!

Gotta know if the Douglasses, the Lewises or the Rooneys become the first death-pair @ Heckle House.

#3 was Thatcher
#4 is jonathan winters!

(Also, had I figured out the heckle house activation code sooner, I'd have had Thatcher buried too)

[MSBNYY]

Rough weekend. Two pretty good deaths in Jean Stapleton and Frank Lautenberg, but no one had them.

[MSBNYY]

Fucking Kenny with the last minute kills....

Congratulations on killing off Nelson Mandela.

[withspades]

Thanks man. ;D

I'm looking back at our 2013, and I'm seeing only 3 of us left here in this death pool. Am I wrong about that? For some reason I thought there were around 10 of us playing. We need to recruit more players so victory isnt as hollow.

Having 3 kills is decent. Three weeks left to tie last year's kill #. Though, I've had a shorter season this year which makes it a tougher assignment.

I'll start considering my 2014 entry now so I can prevent a continuation of the tardiness.

Peace!

Unfortunately, boards like this are hard to maintain when you have things like facebook. They only work if complete strangers are talking about a common interest, not a group of people who know each other well and talk all the time.

So expanding this is harder.

[Jason Giambi]

cho and i are still in

[Jason Giambi]

2013 was a good year to be one of my picks. if you were, you live to read this in 2014
