    Posted: 05 Dec 2022 at 4:13pm

Taking the opportunity to post this a little earlier than usual as I’m overseas from Thursday next week and unlikely to bother logging in much for stuff like this until late January. So away we go…….

 

Who is on the list for 2023? Which celebrities will depart us? Which will we share fond memories of? And most important of all, who will take home the prize and etch their name on the Dead Pool virtual trophy for 2023?


Hall Of Fame:

2017: Saintly96

2018: Oneonesit

2019: Saintly96

2020: Brudder_A

2021: Baghdad Bob

2022: TBA

 

With just under four weeks to go until 1 January it’s time to get your entries in. Plenty of time to pour over the form guides and work out who will be visited by the grim reaper in the next 12 months. Entries close 11:59pm Sydney time 31 December.

Rules:
- List 10 people (celebrities preferably) who will kick the bucket in 2023
- No people with already known death dates (eg death row inmates) OR with pre-existing terminal illnesses where death is likely in 2023
- Death must be confirmed by a reputable source as occurring during 2023 in the location of their death

Scoring:
Correct selection = 10 points
Bonus points = 100 minus age at death (eg a 75 year old correct selections scores 100-75=25 bonus points. NOTE: If your selection is over 100 you will lose points here.

Prize:
I will again put up a $20 bonus bet to the winner.
Scoring to be done individually at the end of the year
I may or may not check these reported scores. Depends if I could be bothered.

Enjoy this wonderful competition!

 I'm usually late with my selections, so for once I'll jump in early. Most are carry-overs from last year, with one addition. I think, since I already had Jane Fonda on my ongoing list, she should be exempt from the pre-condition rule. She says she's being successfully treated for lymphoma, so one can't call it a death sentence.

 Jimmy Carter  
 Christopher Lloyd
 Terence Stamp
 Clint Eastwood
 Glynis Johns
 Bill Clinton 
 Kerri-Anne Kennelly
 Jane Fonda
 Joanne Woodward
 Donald Sutherland

 How dare you...  Take the gorgeous Tommy Lee Jones off that list...if he dies the flood of tears from women will destroy the earth.

 My children call him 'Mr Sexy' as I've always drooled over him...especially in 'The Betsy'...

Alright we have used our formula to once again shoot for the moon, so here it goes.

An older rap star, so I will go for one of the Ice's and I will say Ice Cube
A current actor/actress so lets go Alec Baldwin 
A former government/politician/diplomat so lets go Amanda Vanstone 
A former professional wrestler only one selection Ric Flair
A former/current athlete Imran Khan
An older member of European royalty Queen Margerethe 2nd (Danish Queen)
An older country/rock n roll singer Ross Wilson
A former actor/actress Val Lehman (Queen Bee Smith from the greatest Australian drama Prisoner, to the uninitiated)

And two random selections.

John Laws
Jimmy Carter 

So to recap

1. Ice Cube
2. Alec Baldwin
3. Amanda Vanstone
4. Ric Flair
5. Imran Khan
6. Queen Margerethe 2nd (Danish Queen)
7. Ross Wilson 
8. Val Lehman 
9. John Laws
10. Jimmy Carter

Good hunting to all players Wink Big smile 
Remember, it might take intelligence to be smart , but it takes experience to be wise

The Imran Khan pick is brilliant. Never occurred to me before now but he could be assassinated at any moment. Has to be big overs to go compared to the average man his age. Clap

Yeah E&E I was going to go Terry Bradshaw, but he looked good on the weekend when the Pittsburgh Steelers had the 50th anniversary of the immaculate reception, just a bit of NFL history there. So I switched.

You might be right PT but in that part of the world security always seems to be around the person being guarded and they still die, some would say an inside job. I suppose that is not just a peculiarity of that region of the world, as Bobby and John Kennedy fans might point out!

Security can be the best in the world but it only takes one person to flip and it’s goodnight nurse.

 His mate, Jimmy Johnson, also looked pretty healthy on the panel...

 When he played Survivor, he said it came close to killing him...
