I know some of you don't go into the other forums, and with so many of my friends living up north... it wouldn't be fair if you didn't have the chance to join in....
okay.... with stus fascination for obits... lol and famous people dropping like flies... i think if we are going to do this... now is the time....
I will take entries up until next friday 16th april at 1800.....
Basic rules:
1) Everyone picks 10 know famous people and at least one must be under the age of 40
2) Famous people include: Noble Prize winner, a writer, actor, musician, director, athlete, criminal, politician, etc.
3) Can not use people on "Death Row" or that are scheduled for execution
4) Also a "celeb" that is missing or presumed dead is not dead. They will be viewed as dead if they are in some sort of catastrophic event like a plane crash, fire, tsunami and their body is missing. If however they turn up alive then the points are lost.
5) Brain dead vegetable state is not dead
Points:
points to be awarded on the basis of 100 - "age"..... for example:
Christiano Ronaldo would be 100 - 25 = 75 points.....
In your picks please indicate why a "celeb" is famous, ie such and such-actor or such and such-porno director, etc. Also be sure to clearly indicate at least one pick that is under the age of 40.
Prize: tbd (probably 2xgolds or 2 silvers site support codes... give by me)
This is a winner take all contest and in the off chance that a tie occurs I will do a coin flip for the winner.
As points are scored I will update the point total for each entry with the winner determined on Jan 1, 2011.
don't post ya entries here... direct them to my inbox... and i'll publish all the entries next week...

My local pub did this for years. Great laugh. Was a bit weird though when there were "rollover" months and the pot got quite big...up around £3-500. Everyone in the syndicate was just WILLING people to drop dead. Then someone would and the winner was often somewhere public. Just imagine what it was like, sitting in a pub with someone and on the TV:
"Today we mourn the loss of Princess Diana."
"YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!! GET IN SON!!!!! BOOOOYAAAAAAA!!!!!!" |
