    The Dead Pool/Ghoul Pool Threads 2008

    I was wondering if anyone else here has ever caught the once a year "Deadpool show" on Tom Leykis. He usually does the show between Christmas and New Years ever year. That make bets among the people working on that show about celebrities that will die the following year. The younger the celebrity the more points you get if they die and their on your list. Here is their list from about a year ago for 2007. Without opening a discussion about Leykis, I recommend checking this once a year show out.


    Tom's Picks:


    Nicole Richie
    Mary Tyler Moore
    Phil Rizzuto
    Fidel Castro
    Gerald Ford ('06!)
    Andy Dick
    Sid Caesar
    Michael Richards
    Whitney Houston
    Sen Tim Johnson
    Gary's Picks:


    Charlton Heston
    Fidel Castro
    Gerald Ford ('06!)
    Ariel Sharon
    Michael Richards
    Danny Bonaduce
    Daniel Baldwin
    Tom Sizemore
    Artie Lange
    Nicole Richie
    Dino's Picks:


    Gerald Ford ('06!)
    Sid Caesar
    Fidel Castro
    Bill Walsh
    Luciano Pavorotti
    Tammy Faye Bakker
    Farah Fawcett
    Omar Abdel-Rahman
    Natasha Lyonne
    Pete Doherty
    Listener's:


    Osama bin Laden
    Dick Cheney
    Joey Buttafuoco
    50 Cent
    Joe Paterno
    OJ Simpson
    Duane "Dog" Chapman
    Bob Barker
    John Wooden
    Terrell Owens

    I actually play in a celebrity death pool on another board I frequent.

    It's just like this. And I'm losing badly for '07!

    2008 Ghoul Pool

    Could we do one on this message board? A GP is when you establish a list of celebrities who you think are candidates for the grim reaper. The list is established before the new year and you sit back, wait, and then count your points.

    Game on!

    Set the rules... how many names?

    There are a lot of GP's out there. I could probably read and borrow rules and regs from them and post to the board if we wanted to establish a game. Strictly for points not $. Would 25 names be too few? Should it be 50?

    Jefe's list looks good . The only ones I'd omit would be Muhammed and Fidel.

  30. #30
    Maza Guest
    I'm in...just say when

  31. #31
    magblax Guest
    Are there rules to this? Is the most likely listed in the #1 spot?? If Jefe doesn't mind us using his list as a springboard we could start there and add/delete/change order of names by some majority rules type of thing (just my 2 cents)

    order from most to least likely..IMHO I omitted Muhammed and Fidel, so they can either be added back in or add 2 other names.

    1. Robert Goulet
    2. Chuck Heston
    3. Farrah Fewcett
    4. Billy Graham
    5. Porter Waggoner
    6. Susan Pleshette
    7. Evel Kinevel
    8. Jack Kevorkian

    I'd imagine Goulet and Waggoner probably won't make it until 2008 (and isn't this pool supposed to be for the upcoming year?)

    Kinda early for a dead pool for 2008, isn't it? What if people on lists die before then, will be a lot of reworking.

    Okay, there's interest. Responses to comments/questions:

    What are the rules? I don't know just yet, I'm off to work. Give me a few days to figure it out. We will have an entry period with a deadline (no pun intended) for all entries.

    What do we win? My pocket lint--seriously, this is intended for fun, no $ on this pool, just the glory of having the largest number of celebrity "hits". Winners will be announced at the end of 2008.

    It's kind of early for a 2008 ghoul pool isn't it? Yes, if we were to start it now. Official kick off date is Jan. 1, 2008. The entry period will probably be the last two weeks of 2007.

    That's all for now, glad board members are into this.
