Does anyone want to do this in 2015, or has Ray Watts sucked all the fun out of our lives? Or would he be the only name in every death pool?
I'm in, even though this is the first year I even scored, that I recall, and I'm going to need a Christmas miracle avoid losing by 2.
I'll be in it & I'm sure Watts will be a unanimous choice - probably about the only list he'll be wholeheartedly supported as being a candidate for
Yeah, I'll jump in this year.
I'm game. Already got my list ready, but want to wait to see if there are some late additions.

One of your picks just got hospitalized.
I'm in. Watts won't be unanimous because I won't include him for a couple of reasons.
1) No one on my list this year has died and I have found if I remove someone, they are sure to die. So I will stick with my list.
2) If something happens to Watts, I don't want any evidence putting me on a list of suspects.
3) to me, the death pool is only fun if you don't make it personal.
I wouldn't put Watts on my list either, not unless information becomes available I don't possess.
OTOH, I wouldn't mind pitching in on a pool on his resignation date.
Same rules as last year. Submit 10 entries and 5 alternates to me by PM by the end of the day Jan. 1. That gives you a week to assemble the lists.
Reminder: just 6 1/2 more hours before the "dead"line.
Bump. You can't pick Mario Cuomo, since he died before the deadline.
How many entries did we end up with?
I'm afraid I went too young with my picks. I believe the average age of my picks is 60. Odd number years haven't been too kind to me.
Dickens is on my list. I think the deadline has passed. Finally after two years, I picked someone and have a grand total of 6 points.
Oh, and rest in peace mr. Dickens
I've got scott too. I've got two already.

You're going to use up all your picks by the end of the month.
In four days, I've scored more points than all the other years combined.
