I couldn't find an old thread for this, so let's see who'll go this year! Any bets?

Today Robert Palmer

and George Plimpton (who?) died

and yesterday was Edward Said

and Johhny Cash and John Ritter last week...

...news is the Pope's not doing too well.. my bet's on him by Christmas.

Nice, going, Baz, you jinxed it. I predict there wil be no more famous person deaths for the rest of the year.

there will be two, one of them massive.
i feel it.

now that's just rude. I can't believe I said that. wait, yes I can. and I'm betting I'm not the only one he drives to thoughts of violence with that smirky mugging.

also, how is it "news" that the pope isn't doing too well? have you EVER seen that guy in the past couple of years? I swear he's hooked to ropes and pulleys, cause ain't no way that man is running on his own juice

patrick moore will be the smaller death.
(unless i missed him already dying...)

I'm pretty sure Charlie Sheen is immortal. Speaking of immortals, maybe Xtina, Justin Timberlake, Method Man and Dave Matthews, under the tutelage of Iggy Pop, will finally drive a stake through the heart of David Bowie. Or maybe a steak.

Look, I'm sorry. I think maybe the pilot light's blown out on my oven or something, I've been having these vivid images of characters-out-of-context for days.

I heard about George Plimpton on the radio this afternoon and thought they said George Clinton. I got upset for a minute. But then they start talking about all that literary Prince of Darkness stuff and calmed down.

Kirk Douglas.

Christopher Lee. I don't reckon he'll make it long past the premiere of Return of the King.

Oh, and Ronald Reagan's not long for this world, either.

Agreed.

The Segway. And any of the aforementioned people riding one.

_pin's totally right.

I saw a guy on a Segway yesterday. He looked like an asshole.

My sister is waiting to see what Robert Palmer's pall bearers will look like...

The Segway. And any of the aforementioned people riding one- Mazarine



Segway electronic scooters, the invention that was supposed to revolutionise personal transport, and indeed life as we know it, have been recalled because riders have been injured falling off.-Today's Independent on Sunday.

And we have a winner!!!
 
 
Mazarine
01:11 / 28.09.03
Much as I'd love to take credit, the recall was what spawned my guess- though last I checked, they were just going to tell people how to upgrade the software on the damn things. If the recall goes permenant, then I'll start to crow.

Meanwhile, Donald O'Connor, who co-starred in Singing in the Rain, has died.

That doesn't count. My grandmother's housekeeper's therapist died last week, do I get a fucking memorial?

Jesus, I had no idea how hard it is to post drunk off your asxs.

It would be fucked up if the girl who played Willow from Buffy died. This would cause a sort of dry hapless cynicism that everyone would vibe on. Talk about changing the world!

I would have put money on Castro, but I saw him on the news earlier and he's looking damn good for being about a million years old.

Arafat ain't looking too good now, though... but if he's allowed to die of natural causes then I will be surprised.

People I'm betting won't be dying in the near future- Hussein, bin Laden.
 
 
Baz Auckland
11:37 / 28.09.03
I hope if Arafat dies of natural causes, everyone believes it's natural. Then again, if Bush suddenly died of a heart attack, I bet only 49% of us would believe it was a natural heart attack.

Ooh! Maybe Cheney will have a 5th and final one!

My moneys on the pope. He's not looking so good.

Harrison Ford- he'll break Calista in half one night when they're playing doctor and nurse and his heart will explode from the shock of it all.

Elizabeth Taylor, I reckon...surely there can't be enough monkey gland hormone injections left in the world to sustain her.

That's sad about Donald O'Connor, since Singing In The Rain (his bits in particular) fucking rocks ass, but...I guess I just assumed that he was already dead.

I'm picking John Goodman. The man has reached maximum density and is barely able to walk anymore.

And he's KILLING the West Wing.
 
 
gridley
16:45 / 29.09.03
Take that back!! John Goodman won't ever die!!! And he's done more for the West Wing than you'll ever do!

That said, I think I hear Neil Simon's bell about to ring.

Ronald Reagan, sometime within the next eight months.

That'd be by May, 2004.

The pope is currently naming new cardinals, so there's been a lot of talk that they're doing that to get ready to convene the college for when he goes. (According to the radio, they're just due for another round of selections, but still.)

The pope is even money at this point.
 
 
Mazarine
04:28 / 04.10.03
That was close.
Roy attacked by tiger.

I hope he pulls through.

Yeah, hopefully losing Dennis'll push her over the edge.
