Yeah, I just heard that. Thank you for being a friend,Estelle.

I don't think I had her, but I have Betty White, who co-starred in the show with her.

God Bless you Sophia Petrillow. I loved that show. I always watch the reruns on Lifetime channel.

Well the Col does have a Aunt who's into that voodoo stuff.

Alexander Solzhenitsyn has died at 89. Nobody, I believe, had him.

Bernie Mac just died at age 50

I too am just hearing this. I only know "who" he is and can't say I know much else about him. However, I am so surprised. And, only 50. They say he was in the hospital for pnemonia, but I don't know if that's what he died from. How sad.



TIS

he died of a lung infection

RIP Bernie!!

Blibble and Bethie should have another one soon... (That's for Newman, not them getting their 2nd kills lol)

Man I don't want to hear this. It's happening so fast. I'm very sad.

Beth & Blib have PN on their list??? Seems like we just found out he had cancer. Anyway, how sad.

Man it's August and I don't have one death! I am really getting the Shaft!

That's because you're a bad mother...

Has anybody kept up with this? I just found out that Jerry Reed passed away.

I didn't look to see if anybody had him. Does anybody remember him in Smokey And The Bandit? Also The Waterboy?

I haven't, but I intend to update it this weekend (assuming Hanna doesn't knock out my power).

I know "Killer" Kowalski (ex-wrestler) died last week and I had him on my list.

I was going to post the same thing Mig. I remember Reed mostly from Smokey & The Bandit and, if I recall some humorous songs. I do remember Water Boy, but didn't realize Reed sang it. If I'm not mistaken, wasn't "Spiders and Snakes" one of Reed's? I too didn't know he wrote one of my many favorite but lessor known Elvis songs, U.S. Male.

I updated the list with Blibble's "kill" of Paul Newman (RIP)... I think some others needs to be updated the past month or two which I'll have to go back and look for...

Beth had picked Paul Newman as well.

I did a quick update and aside from Paul Newman, the only other "kill" I could find since the last update I did in July was my own pick of "Killer" Kowalski. The updated standings are:

1. Mig (8)
2. Geoff (7)
3. klydon (6)
4. SC (4)
5. TIS (3)
5. Don Cardi (3)
7. Beth (2)
7. blibble (2)
9. dontomasso (0)

That is sad. I'm in the lead.

Remind me to stay on your good side

No, what's really sad is that I am NOT in the lead.

You people with the last names first, I keep forgetting.

I updated the list on Page 6.

Just for the record, former New York Giant Football great Dick Lynch passed away two days ago.

This is really sad news about Paul Newman.

I really don't like participating in this game.

Add Nick Reynolds to the list RIP

I would not have know his name, but heck yea, I know the Kingston Trio. As a matter of fact I'm sure I have an album or two of theirs back in Michigan. Gosh, I think I was in Junior High or younger when they came out with, "Where Have All The Flowers Gone" and I particularly remember "Hang Down Your Head Tom Dooley". They were "folk" music musicians who's music crossed over to pop charts. A pleasant harmony. Boy, talk about a blast from the distant past.

Sadly, adding to the list another popular figure from the past, did you hear that the original Mr. Clean died??? I was a kid when the commercials first came out. I still remember the popular jingle....."Mr. Clean, Mr. Clean, Mr. Clean." Now, if anyone had him on their "Dead Pool" list, I'd be shocked.

I didn't have Mr. Clean, but I have the guy, who played Sam Drucker on Green Acres and Petticoat Junction.

Michael Crichton, author of "Rising Sun" and "Jurassic Park" died after a battle with cancer.

Nobody had picked him on their list.
