He died March 3rd.

He was perhaps best known for his 1970s version of "Oh, Babe, What Would You Say."

By the way, thanks, pizzaboy.

Bubblegum music at it's best.

Or worst.

Okay, I credited KL with Hurricane Smith.

Current Standings:


The leaders at Rotten's Dead Pool have 6, but Hurricane isn't on their list. Next year we might want to sign up there to help us keep track... [NEVER MIND: I was just adding the rest of my current list and they only allow 10 picks for the year. ] So their leaderboard with 6's and 5's is pretty good then...!

I think those who go the entire year with a consistent "O" deserve some kind of prize no??? Gee, it's already been three months and I have a big fat stupid "O". They just aren't dropping like they use to in the good ol' days.

Not any more. TIS, you broke your cherry - Richard Widmark died at age 93.

Congrats to Don Cardi (also getting his first hit), klydon (who is now tied with Geoff for the lead), Mig and TIS.

How the hell did I miss him??

Widmark was a decent actor and appeared in some good roles. My favorite role of his was his portrayal of a Navy captain in "The Bedford Incident" from the mid 60's.

Oh gee, now I feel bad. I like Richard Widmark. I missed the story on him. I always thought he was a little under rated as an actor. He was not one of my favorites, bu I liked him.

Anyway, don't know how to react.....I finally got one.


TIS

Ok, I'm not posting a thread on this, but I'm reading on another blog that Charlton Heston has died. I know he's been suffering with Alzheimer's, so it's possible, but I can't confirm yet. If so, I see Blibble and Mig both have him on their lists. I'll try to find out if it's true.


TIS

The Heston family issued the following statement:

"To his loving friends, colleagues and fans, we appreciate your heartfelt prayers and support. Charlton Heston was seen by the world as larger than life. He was known for his chiseled jaw, broad shoulders and resonating voice, and, of course, for the roles he played. Indeed, he committed himself to every role with passion, and pursued every cause with unmatched enthusiasm and integrity.

We knew him as an adoring husband, a kind and devoted father, and a gentle grandfather, with an infectious sense of humor. He served these far greater roles with tremendous faith, courage and dignity. He loved deeply, and he was deeply loved.

No one could ask for a fuller life than his. No man could have given more to his family, to his profession, and to his country. In his own words, "I have lived such a wonderful life! I've lived enough for two people."

A private memorial service will be held. The family has requested that, in lieu of flowers, donations be made to the Motion Picture and Television Fund:

Its being acknowledged now that he died Saturday night.

blibble breaks his cherry and now has a kill. Geoff and Mig also score as the Red Sea parter has departed.

dontomasso still has yet to pick a kill.

As of right now:
Geoff - 6
klydon - 5
Mig - 5
SC - 2
Beth - 1
blibble - 1
Don Cardi - 1
TIS - 1
dontomasso - 0

Wow that is so sad that Charlton has passed away. God speed to his family and friends.

RIP Moses

Geoff has 6 and Kly & Mig 5???? What's up with that??? You guys aren't cheating are you? You're not whacking these people on your list just so you can win?

TIS

Can't fool TIS.

Didn't you say you shot an AK 47 on Friday? What day did Heston die? Why, you little gun toter you!!

TIS

Btw, welcome back Mig!!

Thanks TIS.

I must have a good scope on the Col's gun and good aim to reach him.

I didn't even wanna play this morbid game, and all of a sudden when you look at the list it's like I'm an expert prognosticator of death!

Now they can pry his rifle from his cold, dead hand.

Damn, Beth, you stole my line. After everybody's picks were made, I kicked myself for having forgotten Heston.

Albert Hoffman, the creator of LSD, has taken his final trip. He died at the age of 102.

Congrats to Geoff and Mig for getting the kill.

Geoff now leads the pack with 7 kills and Mig is in second place with six.

(I had picked him on my list for 2007 but didn't add him on this year's list ).

How do you people know who the creator of LSD is?

Obviously not me as I continue my 0 kills for the year.

Why do I feel a tiny bit of excitement when this thread is bumped? Is that wrong?

No it's not wrong. I admit I still feel all aflutter when I see this thread pop up. I look online to see who died and if I had them.

I feel bad for being in second place.

I must not have any scruples then because I'm upset I only have one hit.

Ha ha! I know what you mean. It's hard to know how to feel, but when I saw this thread "bumped" I did say to myself, "who died that I didn't hear about?"

Beth don't feel bad cause I only have scratched off my list too.

TIS

There's no need to feel bad for someone, who lived for 102 years. In life he gave the world LSD; in death he gave Geoff a bigger lead and Mig sole possession of second place.

ANyone have Eddy Arnold?

TIS does. Did he kick the bucket??
