Celebrity Death Pool!

[RoIIo Tomassi]

I was waiting for Zero to come in and forbid adding the Gibb in the coma to anybody's list. But as he didn't, dibs.

Guess I was wrong. I thought Dick Clark was a robot.

[Giorgio A Tsoukalos]

If you replace "robot" in the preceding post with "alien," you've just proven that average people believe Dick Clark was an alien! It's so obvious. There's really no other option when it comes to processing the facts at hand.

[anarky]

Levon Helm has died and I'm in no mood for "replace X with Y and aliens" bullshit.

[Zero]

IF YOU REPLACE 'HELM' WITH 'A JETPLANE' IN THE ABOVE POST
IT PROVES HOW ELVIS WENT BACK TO HIS PEOPLE.

Greg Ham died. He played the flute and saxophone in Men at Work. He lived alone and no one heard from him for a while and finally went to check on him. They didn't say how long he had been dead for when they found him. Kind of sounds like how Benny Hill died.

[anarky]

MCA.

And some football player guy that's getting a lot of press and I know shit about since I don't watch football.

[RoIIo Tomassi]

Wait. What? Beastie Boys' MCA? He's like my age! What the fudge?
He's dead?!

Goddamit.
No Sleep til Brooklyn, Adam.

[vynsane]

wow, that's unexpected, i didn't hear anything about his illness... except for, y'know, his license to ill.

[Ran]

Between the ex-football and ex-hockey players that have killed themselves over the past year, I probably should be glad I quit hockey when I did. I'm fairly sure I had at least 3 minor concussions from hockey and a couple more from other stuff.

I didn't know MCA had cancer, or that he was 47 for that matter.

[jjreason]

I was a might surprised at his age as well tbh, though I would have said I knew he was older than the other 2. I did know about the cancer, but hadn't read anything in ages & figured it was sorted out after he had surgery. I'm sure the news about the cancer broke like 2-3 years ago.

[anarky]

He missed the R&R HOF induction because of it. I just didn't know it was as bad as it was.

[Diabolical]

MCA has been fighting cancer for a while now, I believe.

And the football player was Junior Seau, one of the best linebackers to ever play the game.

[Zaphod]

makes me want to grab the piano player and punch him in the face.

[Jargo]

Hahaha RoIIo is 47 that's like ancient as Noah. Saggy arse cheeks old.


Whatevah.
