Pick dead celebrities! Win money!! I will put up $20 for the winner, and I'm sure Syd could come up with a sweet title for the winner too. It goes like this:

-List 10 living celebrities. You can edit your list up until the deadline.
-Each death earns points based on age. If your 24-year old dies, you would get 100-24= 76 points. A 98-year old earns you 2 points. Don't pick someone over 100, dumbass.
-You are allowed to pick another person if a death opens a spot on your list.
-Lists are due on January 3. Deaths start counting on Jan 4.
-Contest ends on December 15 and payment will be made shortly after (in time for Christmas).

Leaderboard:

Tomdincan - 75 points
Klimbatize - 58 points
Sarge - 56 points
@om*d- 19 points
OWD- 18 points
sidewaydriver- 18 points
Mr Magog - 15 points

I'm definitely in, and I would like to extend a heart-felt "thank you" to Sarge for my gift card for winning the 2011 Death Pool. You went that extra step to make it meaningful and personalized it. Very cool.

Do the same rules as last year apply? If someone from our list kicks it, do we get to replace them with someone else?

Wait, are you allowed to pick someone that's already been picked? I would think not.

Betty White is the only one left of the main cast, and she's not worth shit for points.

Yeah, otherwise we'd need to have a draft or something.

No, just looking at Hitler for 8 months straight converted us to the Nazi Party. Join us!
