    Dead Pool

    Okay, I kinda tactlessly started this in another thread, but: Everybody knows celebrity deaths come in threes, and that somehow the threes always make some kind of Karmic sense. We've had Mr. Reagan and Mr. Charles.

    Lemon Boy sorta unofficially took G.H.W. Bush, I'm taking Charlton Heston, and Alex P. Keaton can find his own horse in this race.

    The terms: If you bet and lose, you will forward five dollars to the winner. Lemon Boy can back out if he wants, these terms were not stated when he made his guess.

    If a celebrity does not die within 10 days, there is no bet. The definition of celebrity is somewhat vague, if it comes to it we'll forward the matter to the rules committee.

    Anybody want to play?

    You got him.

    BTW, expiration date (heh?) is set at 11:50 PM Eastern time 6/20/04, if your guy hasn't kicked by then he's in luck and you're not.

    I'm in. I'll go for Courtney Love.

    The Pope is a good high percentage play, but I'm a fan of the longshot.

    What the hell are you talking about? Don't you know that Kieth Richards is like a cockroach? He will never, I repeat, never, die. Mark my words.

    I am not entering the bet, but what about Stevie Wonder? Wouldn't that be interesting? (and sad, of course)

    Also, the entire bet is null and void if I find out that any maggot was involved in helping their chosen celeb into the sweet beyond, bitch.
