The 2021 Dead PoolGOAL: Predict which notable* figures will die on/between January 1 and December 31, 2021, Eastern Time. Produce a maximum of 50 names, to be PM'ed to me (NOT posted here) before the ball drops in Times Square (NYC) at midnight on New Years (i.e., 12AM ET, January 1, 2021). The BB's default timestamp will determine entry time, but I often post after midnight so the west coast has a little extra time. *It's assumed that all notable figures will have an entry, or be mentioned in an entry, at Google, Wikipedia or another legit source which you may have to prove. Rules:1) PLEASE alphabetize your list of 50 names by LAST name (regardless of profession), either in the form of FIRSTNAME LASTNAME -or- LASTNAME, FIRSTNAME, in *1* column of names. 2) If it's not obvious who the person is for most people, after the name please add why they're notable. For example: "Douglas Fraser, trade unionist" (Sorry, he's already dead). In addition, you may or may not choose to include the person's current age; for example: "Douglas Fraser, trade unionist (91)" 3) If you submit your list days before Midnight, January 1st, 2021, and someone on your list dies before 2021, you should substitute the person with another and resubmit your list (by the deadline). If you do not resubmit your list, and the person died in 2020, the person will obviously NOT count for 2021. 4) a) Thou Shalt Not Kill (anyone on your list); b) criminals subject to the Death Penalty or anyone kidnapped or held hostage in 2020 won't count -- unless they die of natural causes; c) "Dead" means permanently dead, not later revived, nor put in animated suspension, or any induced or natural coma starting before 2021 begins; d) do not edit Wikipedia with false death information. Everyone's lists will be updated unofficially throughout the year, but year-end audits should be performed to determine the final winner sometime shortly after December 31, 2021. YOU are responsible for your own audit at years' end.(The next post will contain all participants' lists for easy reference, sometime on Jan 1st) Prize: Bragging Rights for 12 months. Past Winners:2020 - Don Marco (15) 2019 - SC (9) / Don Marco (9) 2018 - Mignon (14) 2017 - Don Marco (15) 2016 - SC (17) 2015 - Sr Vitelli (12) 2014 - SC (15) 2013 - DE NIRO (9) 2012 - SC (14) 2011 - Mignon (10) 2010 - SC (11) 2009 - JG (12) 2008 - JG (12) Quick Link: Deaths in 2021 (wikipedia)
I studied Italian for 2 semesters. Not once was a "C" pronounced as a "G", and never was a trailing "I" ignored! And I'm from Jersey! lol Whaddaya want me to do? Whack a guy? Off a guy? Whack off a guy? --Peter Griffin My DVDs | Facebook | Godfather Filming Locations

Despite earlier reports to the contrary, actress Tanya Roberts did not die on Sunday, according to a new statement obtained by TMZ.
Roberts’ rep Mike Pingel explains that Roberts’ husband Lance was contacted by Cedars-Sinai Medical Center on Monday morning to inform him that she is still alive. Lance had believed that Roberts was dead on Sunday night, at which point he passed the news along to Pingel, who confirmed it to the media. Roberts, 65, was hospitalized in Los Angeles after collapsing on Christmas Eve and was placed on a ventilator.

It's happened before. I remember many years ago (late 1971 to be exact), when Maurice Chevalier was hospitalized for what would prove to be the final time, his death was prematurely reported by the media - even going so far as to quote what were (purportedly) his last words. Mark Twain once famously said, "The report of my death has been grossly exaggerated." Signor V. (Not quite back from the dead, but back nevertheless)
"For me, there's only my wife..."
"Sure I cook with wine - sometimes I even add it to the food!"
"When life itself seems lunatic, who knows where madness lies?"
"It was a grass harp... And we listened."
"Do any human beings ever realize life while they live it? Every, every minute?"
"No. Saints and poets, maybe... they do some."
