Celebrity Death Pool - Round 11

[Raising Heel]

So wait. What happens now? Can @jcolucci go ahead and make a pick? Seems like he should be able to do that, then get back on track when his turn comes up again in a few rounds.

He could, but I read it that he said he was at a conference and didn't have time.

@jcolucci - do you want to make a pick? For that matter- @coolwaterunc do you also want to make a pick? Baseball aint on yet- what are you doing?

 

[coolwaterunc]

I know Goldberg, Rey Mysterio, DDP, Stone Cold, Dudley Bros, The Undertaker, all those guys. Never heard of this George Steele.

Sigh...the big hairy guy who always went crazy and tore up the turnbuckle. Come on man

Jesus you guys are pushy.

Let's go with Bob Dole. Maybe you guys will leave me alone for a whIle now.

 

[UNC '92]

John Glenn.

Ok so in the interest of keeping picks visible, and alerting the ones next up that it's their turn I've started this draft thread. I'll update the list below periodically throughout the draft. I'll try to keep it as up to date as possible, but at least check to see that you're not duplicating with the couple picks before you if I haven't updated recently.

Post your pick here when you make it. I'll be changing the thread title periodically to show who is on the clock (at least as of the last time I saw it).

Here's the link to the other thread for rules and specifics if needed: https://northcarolina.forums.rivals.com/threads/ootb-celebrity-death-pool.33156/

Fixed.

 

[Hark_The_Sound_2010]

I'll go with Sean Connery . .

Just checking, are you wanting in on this @BillyL ? If you want Connery and want to slide into jcoluccis 8 slot in the draft I'll make the move and you'll be picking again in a couple spots.

 

[Raising Heel]

With their second pick in the draft and 16th pick overall, "Can't Stop Coffin" selects:

Keith Richards

Haha, just kidding. That guy is obviously indestructible. I'm gonna go with children's author Beverly Cleary.

 

[TarHeelNation11]

@coryfly is on the clock.

 

[coryfly]

 

[TarHeelNation11]

With their second pick in the draft and 18th overall, Checkin' Out; Cashin' Out selects....

Stan Lee, of Marvel Comics fame, creator of Spider-Man, X-Men, and many other famous fictional characters.

 

[Raising Heel]

Who is this? Pic is blocked at work and I'm too lazy to pull it up on my phone.

 

[UNC71-00]

The Grateful Dead selects evil republican and enemy of the free people George H W Bush (the old one)

 

[gteeitup]

[UNC71-00]

Bart Starr

 

[gunslingerdick]

Cory got him.

 

[UNC71-00]

And for the record, I would have picked Glen Campbell but for the pre- existing condition clause.

 

[Hark_The_Sound_2010]

With their second pick, Abra Cadaver! selects, Bob Barker, come on down!

I've been picking him for years, maybe he'll hit for me this time.

@gunslingerdick now on the clock

First rule of drafting:

Don't fall in love with the intro

How often were you previously on the internet looking for ill celebs?

 

[gteeitup]

i'm on the internet more than usual...only now looking for ill celebs.

better???

 

[Raising Heel]

How often were you previously on the internet looking for ill celebs?

It's all relative.

 

[coolwaterunc]

So are we actually supposed to be rooting for these people to die? This is beyond messed up.

 

[Raising Heel]

Sir George Martin died yesterday? Well dammit.

Actually, only @TarHeelMark is laughing about it. For the rest of us it's all business.

 

[Hark_The_Sound_2010]

It's like when I bet on Duke. I'm sure not rooting for them to win - I just want to profit when the inevitable happens.

Haha, she was on my list but pretty far down there.

 

[JuleZ '02 HEEL]

What's taking Dicklinger so long?

 

[coryfly]

So are we actually supposed to be rooting for these people to die? This is beyond messed up.

Haha, no, I can't do that. No way. It is basically acknowledging our role is irrelevant and going from there.

 

[coryfly]

If we have to have a team name I guess mine could be P.O.D. I don't know anything by those guys but their name fits here.

 

[heelmanwilm]

look at it this way, each of us is rooting for a couple dozen other people to live longer!

 

[coolwaterunc]

...and you all thought I took long.

 

[Raising Heel]

You have @gteeitup's wife on your list?

This thread just keeps getting weirder and weirder.

 

[gunslingerdick]

I'm here, I'm here!

With the next pick in the Celebrity Death Pool draft, Mr. Lingerdick's Dead Beats select...Ara Parseghian.

 

[Hark_The_Sound_2010]

@plm is next up now.

 

[plm]

I was going with tilikum the killer whale but the pre existing clause rules him out.

Dead and bloated will pick author herman wouk.
