Which worksheet did you like the best?

If I can keep this list updated I can update this one as needed. I've started a database.

I liked them both but the one with the contestant names on the left hand column seemed a little easier for me to use. They're both really good, though. We need to post whichever one is easier to see on here. Lumpy is trying to convert it or put it on a file-sharing site as well.

I like the spreadsheets too, but there's an issue w/ viewing. It's very difficult to read the info, (text is way too small due to the amount of content). We can still use the spreadsheets to keep track on our end though. Thank you for your help, digger!

Another idea is to place a hyperlink in the OP. I can give Gonzo the hyperlink code to each entry and he can paste it in the OP.

EXAMPLE, (before a death occurs):
<a href="http://www.chiefsplanet.com/BB/showpost.php?p=8269245&postcount=26 ">Lumpy:
George Michael, Rod Stewart, Willie Nelson, Kirk Douglas, Zsa Zsa Gabor, Mick Jagger, Betty White, Hugh Hefner, Julie Andrews, Bob Dylan</a>

<a href="http://www.chiefsplanet.com/BB/showpost.php?p=8269337&postcount=37">digger12291970:
Larry King, Betty White, Bob Dylan, Fidel Castro, Ernest Borgnine, Hugh Hefner, Robin Gibb, Paul Mccartney, Henry Kissinger, Zsa Zsa Gabor</a>

EXAMPLE, (after a death occurs): OH NOES... NOT BOB DYLAN!!
<a href="http://www.chiefsplanet.com/BB/showpost.php?p=8269245&postcount=26 ">Lumpy: 25 Points
George Michael, Rod Stewart, Willie Nelson, Kirk Douglas, Zsa Zsa Gabor, Mick Jagger, Betty White, Hugh Hefner, Julie Andrews, Bob Dylan</a>

<a href="http://www.chiefsplanet.com/BB/showpost.php?p=8269337&postcount=37">digger12291970: 25 Points
Larry King, Betty White, Bob Dylan, Fidel Castro, Ernest Borgnine, Hugh Hefner, Robin Gibb, Paul Mccartney, Henry Kissinger, Zsa Zsa Gabor</a>

The only problem I see w/ this idea is w/ the private lists. Everyone would need to post their list on the thread when the deadline gets here so that I can create the hyperlink code for Gonzo.

Judges/participants... your thoughts?

I like it, more readable that screen shots of worksheets.

Thanks to everyone who sent rep. :thumb:

Well, if it were up to me now & I thought about it..

I would have picked your walking stick man. I mean the dude never stops walking. How long can he go? Just walks and walks even when your off line the guy just keeps walking. The guy is a toothpick. Maybe some body else may or should pick him in this death celebrity contest? Other than it's not a celebrity it should be. The walking stick man.

Prize update people!

I almost forgot about this one...

Shit just got ****ing real.

I have to offer the winner of this contest:

1 mint condition, (still in the package) Derrick Thomas Bobble-Head doll.

Also, millions in casino cash. So, why aren't you signing up, bitches?

Get me your god-damned lists too, people. Betty white is going to ****ing die any second.

CrazyCoffee, Dartgod and Babylee have opted to keep their lists private until the deadline.

FFS, Gonzo. There's no reason to post everyone's name in the OP until they post their entries on the thread, (they're already listed in the poll). The reason for the hyperlink list is so that we can find the dates easier as opposed to posting them in the OP. This will also help us locate the original posts to verify that nobody is cheating, (changing dates, etc.), when a celeb kicks the bucket.

It's your game though, so if you want to veto my idea, that's fine too. Just trying to help. :huh:

Kerberos:

1. Demi Lovato will die June 8th of self inflicted wounds.
2. Sir Richard Branson will die Aug 10th in a plane crash
3. Hugh Hefner will die July 3rd of heart attack while in bed with 3 women.
4. Ashton Kutcher will die Oct 12th after leaving the set of 2 and half men.
5. Charlie Sheen will die November 21st in Vegas hotel with 3 women and an ounce of cocaine.
6. Sarah Palin will die November 4th at the hand of a member of the TeaParty.
7. Lindsey Lohan will die December 3rd from OD of Drugs or Alchohol or both.
8. Willey Nelson will die September 20th in house fire.
9. Lawrence Fishburn will die April 15th while fishing in Mexico.
10. Ozzy Osbourne will die on June 19th in a back of a limo from drive by shooting.

Ohhh, I see what you're saying there Limburger-pie...

I'm posting now.

Here's my list:


Gene Wilder - 9/8
Zsa Zsa Gabor - 7/1
Kirk Douglas - 4/12
Betty White - 6/15
Muhammad Ali - 11/1
Steve-O (Jackass) 10/10
Liza Minnelli - 5/17
Abe Vigoda - 8/2
Dick Cheney - 7/7
Nancy Reagan - 3/1

And btw...

I changed the OP well before you you posted this so obviously I liked your idea better. That is also why I'm posting everyone's list.

So there you go.... Mozzarella-Clam

"Limburger Pie" LMAO

You can delete your post w/ the original list. I have that saved and will update it as we go.

Joey wants in.... will have his picks on feb 1st

Meh, I'll leave it for everyone's quick reference or just in case I need to cross-reference.

Seriously though, thank you baby. That really helps to stream-line this whole process. I think you and digger have already put more work into this than I have...

And to all of the contestants...

Some hints and names of people you should look into:

NFL Films - The Sabol's aren't looking to good right now.
Some former ND Governor is feeling a little under the weather.
You remember Chris Elliot of SNL? I guess his dad was famous for a while.
So, the Jackson family has some issues I hear.
Well goooolllleeeee sarge, I gotta touch of the cancer
Bangs on door/HAYDEN! HAYDEN! HAYDEN!

Ok, well he's in only if he changes his username back to Joey. I hate his current one.

:D








Just kidding, he can sign up when he comes back. The poll is open until March 2nd.

Sounds like the old "dead eye" from ESPN is having a problem or two.

Oh, btw...

Kevin Gilbride will finally have his revenge this year.

My list is finalized:

1. Kirk Douglas - March 3. Old age.

Ok people, I'm going to try to keep this bumped as a reminder to get me your lists. I'm going to send out a pm to everyone that hasn't turned one in by Monday.

The deadline may be 3/1 but it really would be a good idea to get them to me asap. You never know when one of them is going to assume room temperature.

No new entries 'predicting' reporter Richard Threlkeld. Kill in auto accident

Also, Gene Hackman [NOT DEAD, actually listed in GOOD condition] was hit by a car while bicycling, and airlifted for impact trauma. Out biking on the the highway at 81, yeesh!!

A better guess for Ozzie would be that a gigantic bat would bite his head off.

Seesh, I read Gene Wilder and got all excited... How morbid am I?
Posted via Mobile Device

A friend of mine was giving me suggestions for my list a few days ago. Today at lunch I got a text from him that said, "Is Henry Kissinger on your list?" I thought that meant that Kissinger was dead, so I announced it to everybody. When I went back to work, I looked it up to make sure and of course he wasn't dead. One by one people stopped by my office and angrily yelled "Liar! Kissinger isn't dead!"

Update: Paula Deen has the beetis.

why would that be something that you would want to announce to everybody?

Because I was pissed I didn't put Kissinger on my list (I had thought about it) and somebody asked, so I had to tell them.

Bumping to nag some more...

Lists, dammit.

Etta James-1-20-2012

Etta James bitches! I got her on my list.....BOOM!!!!!!!!

(CNN) -- Etta James, whose assertive, earthy voice lit up such hits as "The Wallflower," "Something's Got a Hold on Me" and the wedding favorite "At Last," has died, according to her longtime friend and manager, Lupe De Leon. She was 73.
She died from complications from leukemia with her husband, Artis Mills, and her sons by her side, De Leon said.

http://www.cnn.com/2012/01/20/showbi...bit/?hpt=hp_t1

And so it begins. Looks like lewdog, Stanley Nickels and California Chief are out to the early lead.

EDIT: Stanley even predicted the exact week for a 5 point bonus. :thumb:

Ding ding ding...

We have a hit. Finally.

"Robin Gibb has turned to "alternative treatment" for his liver cancer.

In other words: the treatments based on science and medicine haven't worked, and he's clutching at straws."

Hey, California Chief had the date within 5 days as well, but not the same week. Does he get the 5 point bonus?

Scoring rules in topic header states 'within a week.'
Seems evident that it's 7 days in each direction.

Thanks. I read this:

And not this:

If it's "Within a week." So... it is 7 days either side of the death date. Both posters will receive bonus points.

Hey Digger, can you update your awesome spread sheet for me sometime?
Posted via Mobile Device

Can do.:thumb:

I don't like deleting posts, so I'll just throw up Hitler sporting his wolf shirt. :D

http://www.chiefsplanet.com/BB/pictu...pictureid=1083

Btw, lewdog spelled her name "Eta". There should be a penalty for that error. :p

So sue me...I don't respect old women! :p

Ouch. LMAO You're a feisty one.

Worksheet update on the way. I added score columns to the right.

At last, I'm winning something.

BTW, Gonzo and I both were 5 days off, though in different directions. Depending on how you're scoring, either he gets more points for missing the deadline, or I do for the Price Is Right-style of "closest without going over". Were I a neutral party, I'd give it to Gonzo. But I'm not, so I win. :D

You could win the best poster with 2,219 posts on the whole board. However, if you ever post again you'll ruin it and just be another shlub.

FYP

Gonzo posted CC's list.

But yes, it's amazing how close you guys were on her DOD.

what happened to my list?

my list too!

You wanted it private until the deadline, brother.

Do you want it posted?

BTW Coffee...

I hate to tell you this but you had Etta croaking on the 28th. You were one ****ing day off from bonus points...

LMAO LMAO LMAO

This is CC's list...

Etta James, 1/28/12 (ex wife's b-day)
Zsa Zsa Gabor 2/14/12
Robin Gibb 3/17/12 (st paddy's day)
Lindsay Lohan 4/3/12 (national alcohol screening day)
Muhammad Ali 5/21/12 (armed forces day)

Larry King 8/20/12 (national Radio Day)
Kirk Douglas 9/25/12 (Yom Kippur)

I know! That's what I get for picking the ex wife's birthday.... Bitch still comes back to **** me over. What, the house and all my tools weren't enough?
