Well, I tacked last year's thread up so you could go back and see what you had and who was lucky enough to correctly predict a death. I think the only correct death from last year was Phil Rizzuto.
Here is my list from last year:
List up to 5.
1. Bob Barker
2. Bob Shepard
3. Kirk Douglas
4. Mickey Rooney
5. Farrah Fawcett
Unfortunately, none of these people died this year. But I still feel lucky with these 5, and will stick to it. The last thing I want to do is remove someone from my list and have them die.
But in the spirit of the new year, I'll add 5 new names to the list.
6. Bobby Heenan
7. Betty White
8. Fidel Castro
9. Bobby Murcer
10. For the young pick--Brittney Spears.

If you want to add in your 2007 picks, that's fine--unless you think they are going to live.

I sure hope I don't kill anyone with my mind in 2008 like I killed Moolah.

I dont partake in such stuff. I dont like games. Balls, how could you say Phil Rizzuto was the only correct pick in the first post in this thread, yet in the other thread you acknowledge a couple of other hits. Stop playing both sides of the fence.

Simple--when I started the thread, I hadn't gone through the 07 thread completely. I remembered when the Scooter passed, that I had congratulated someone. If you look carefully, I only said "I think" in the sentence with Rizzuto, because I was unsure. Later, I noticed a few more people were correct. I gave those people their much deserved props.

Then you should have edited your original post here. By not doing so, you're still being dubious. Not everyone is going to bother to dig up old news in the other thread, especially when you pretended to be recapping it here - falsely, I may add.
Balls, be more up front with things.

To those offended by the potentially misleading statement in the original post, I humbly apologize, and in the spirit of the New Year, I hope that whatever celebrity you mark for death, dies in a spectacular fashion.

I go with Giambi, Rickles is done. Next I'd say Whitey Ford, Alex Trebek, Drew Carrey(Ray Combes style) and Ringo Starr(the beatles are close to being all but over, McCartney marries another whore also). However, Ringo can easily be replaced by Keith or Mick.

He actually improved since last year. Hey, I am all for the sick making a stand, but its time to stop parading him on TV. And if they do, they need to stop letting him count down to the dropping of the ball, he can't keep canter.

I actually thought he improved as well. Is this year 3 of the drooling Dick Clark, or year 2?
