The 2012 Dead Pool

GOAL: Predict which notable* figures will die on/between January 1 and December 31, 2012, 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 Sunday, January 1, 2012). The BB's default timestamp will determine entry time.

*It's assumed that all notable figures will have an entry, or be mentioned in an entry, at 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, 2012, and someone on your list dies before 2012, 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 2011, the person will obviously NOT count for 2012.

4) a) Thou Shalt Not Kill (anyone on your list); b) criminals subject to the Death Penalty or anyone kidnapped or held hostage in 2011 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 2012 begins; d) do not edit Wikipedia with false death information.

Everyone's lists will be updated unofficially throughout the year, but a year-end audit will be performed to determine the final winner sometime shortly after December 31, 2012. YOU are responsible for your own audit at years' end.

Prize: Bragging Rights for 12 months.

Check out results from 2011, 2010, 2009, 2008


The next post will contain all participants' lists for easy reference, sometime on Jan 1st



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! tongue lol

I have 2012 lists for myself, TIS, BAM, dontomasso, Don Marco, and DE NIRO... I don't have lists for SC nor Mignon.

If this is in error, please let me know. Anyone else who PM's me their lists before midnight ET tonight will be added as well... and if I'm in a good mood, I might allow a list Jan 1 but no deaths will count for that day...

I thought word had a way to sort/alphabetize confused but I guess not. It IS a pain isn't it? LOL Yet, it is much easier to check if it is alphabetized. See how lazy we've become?

I was beginning to think they'd never leave....

I thought everyone would have picked Etta James for their list. Lately her name has been in the news so much.

LOL Yea, I mean it's Jan. 2nd. There should be way more "deaths." lol


I can't say I knew their names but I sure do know who the Belmonts were. Too bad. I always loved Dion & the Belmonts.

Not a mistake. He was out 11 months with a cuncussion and then after playing a few games is out again. It is a calculated risk. IMHO there is going to be a death in football or ho ckey due to brain injury sooner than later.

Fred Milano of Dion and the Belmonts dies at 72
Jan. 3, 2012, 2:12 PM EST
NEW YORK (AP) -- Fred Milano, who made rock 'n' roll history on doo-wop hits with Dion and the Belmonts in the 1950s and continued to perform while starting a late-in-life career with the New York City Department of Correction, has died. He was 72.

Milano died Sunday, three weeks after his lung cancer was diagnosed, said Warren Gradus, who joined the Belmonts in 1963. Milano lived in Massapequa, on Long Island, and died in a hospital, Gradus said.

Weren't the Belmonts named after the street on which they lived in the Bronx?

Exactly, SC.

Dion actually lived on 183rd and Crotona. I think they adopted the name the Belmonts as an homage to the neighborhood in general.

Dion actually joined the Belmonts a year or two after they were formed. They had marginal success before they joined forces, but they became a huge name under the Laurie record label when they started to record together.

Just read sad news.... Don Carter, one of the biggest names in professional bowling, died yesterday at age 85. I used to love watching him and his unusual delivery style way back when....

Oddly enough, I read the news from a message from my friend Mark Roth, who went on to become one of the pro-bowlers who took over Carter's place on the tour.

R.I.P. Don

Johannes Heesters died December 24, 2011, age 108. (SC)

Bruce Gordon died January 20, 2011, age 94. (Mignon)
