The Rules:

1. You pick 20 celebrities whom you predict will die within the calendar year 2016. If any of your celebrities dies, you score 100 points minus their age at death. Whoever has the most points at the end of the year wins the undying admiration of the forum.

2. All picks must be in by midnight Dec. 31st, 2015. Post them here in this thread. (I might be lenient on this this time since there's only 3 days til the deadline.)

3. Valid picks are not:

a. already dead
b. a fictional character
c. non-human
d. a registered member of the forum, because that would be weird

4. You can pick people who are 100 or more years old but you won't score points for them. See the "Quantity Not Quality" award, below.

5. If we are uncertain about the celebrity's age at death, we will go by the higher age (lower score).

6. Your picks must specify a name: listing "anybody from [the cast of your most hated TV show or boy band]" as a pick will be ignored.

7. Persons under sentence of death will be valid for scoring points only if they die by means other than official execution.

8. Any poster who kills or otherwise contributes to the death of any celebrity mentioned in this thread is disqualified. It's just a game, people.

9. You can make changes to your list before the end of the year, but it has to be clear which names are your final choices. You may submit one or more "alternates" with your list in the event that one of your picks dies during December 2015, or submit an alternate after the death of the original pick, as long as this is posted by Dec 31, 2015. If you do not submit a name, I will submit the rest. You can have no more than 20 picks. If you pick more than 20, or if any of your picks is otherwise invalid, I may ask for clarification. Otherwise, I will submit the first 20 names on your list. Do me a favor: check twice, post once.

We have no rule about submissions having to be unique, despite claims of "copying" anyone else's list. We will just turn up our noses at you if you do this. Sharing news of celebrities in ill health and whatnot is up to individual posters.

We have no rule about what constitutes "celebrity," because it makes our heads hurt to think about this.

Some celebrities have common, identical or similar names. It is helpful to be specific.


Additional awards:

The "Quantity Not Quality" Award: awarded to the poster or posters who pick the greatest number of celebrities who died, regardless of their actual point value.

The "Inside Track With the Grim Reaper" Award: awarded to the poster or posters who had the most unique picks that died.

The "Opening Kickoff" Award: awarded to the poster or posters who pick the first listed celebrity to die in 2016.

The "Final Hours" Award: awarded to the poster or posters who pick the last listed celebrity to die in 2016.

The "Robbing the Cradle" Award: awarded to the poster or posters who pick the youngest celebrity to die in 2016.


Have fun, sickos.

2016 looked to be getting off to a quick start with Natalie Cole, but it sounds like she checked out before midnight.

In case anyone missed it since I posted in the 2015 thread, the following applies and will be heretofore known as The Gaucho Rule to get his ass to submit a list:

"If you have no yet and still wanna play, I'll give you you one extra week or until the first score to get a list in. If someone dies in the first week, you can't put them on your list. I have drunkenly spoken."

The new deadline is midnight Jan 7, 2016 or when someone scores and it's reported here. Somey's and bigboy's lists were submitted under the new deadline and are included in the 2016 game.

If you have any questions, PM cap.

No one had Bowie? I had no idea he was sick. The media sucks at predicting death.

Does the space cold make your nipples go pointy, Bowie?
Do you use your pointy nipples as telescopic antennae to transmit data back to Earth?
I bet you do, you freaky old bastard, you.

Driving in this morning, I was listening to the radio (yes, I have satellite radio.) They played "Under Pressure". When it got to that part late in the song when Bowie sings "Cause love's such an old-fashioned word..." I started welling up. Dunno why. Just did. That part always gave me chills anyway but combined with today's news, I got all verklempt.

I polled all the 20 somethings in the office. None had heard of Bowie. Only one had heard of Ziggy Stardust, but only knew the name. I don't think anyone under 30 has been affected by this. :sad:

Sorry, but there's no way they hadn't heard of David Bowie but HAD heard of Ziggy Stardust. Don't believe it.

I liked the song a lot, but the lyrics had me somewhat confused.

Ziggy played guitar, jamming good with Wierd and Gilly,
And The Spiders from Mars.
He played it left hand, but made it too far,
Became the special man,
Then we were Ziggy's Band.

Ziggy really sang, screwed up eyes and screwed down hairdo
Like some cat from Japan, he could lick 'em by smiling
He could leave 'em to hang
Here came on so loaded man, well hung and snow white tan.

So where were the spiders while the fly tried to break our balls?
Just the beer light to guide us.
So we bitched about his fans and should we crush his sweet hands?

Ziggy played for time, jiving us that we were Voodoo
The kids was just crass,
He was the naz
With God given ass
He took it all too far
But boy could he play guitar.

Making love with his ego Ziggy sucked up into his mind
Like a leper messiah
When the kids had killed the man
I had to break up the band

Ziggy played guitar
