Nosmo, why did you title this thread Dead Pool 2?

I didn't! The 2016 part came off incomplete.

Damn Chinese iPad!

Dick Cheney

I'll have to think on this a bit...

Leon Russell ain't looking all that good either.
Both of them had brain issues.

Didn't know Doris Day was still around.
Abe Vigoda too. That guy always looked dead.

Kirk Douglas, that's a good one. What is he now, about 101?

I dunno, there's some names mentioned here that may be old but not necessarily in bad health. I know Dick van Dyke just made 90. Betty White, Queen Elizabeth, Kissinger, Tony Bennett, all seem to be healthy for their ages.

I wouldn't take Jimmy Carter -- I think he's in better shape than H.W. and they're the same age.

Anybody want Bob Dole? He's 92 and in a wheelchair although still active...

 

[browsing deer]

Hillary Clinton. Betty white and Betty Sax-Coberg-Gotha are both in pretty good shape. Both are pretty slim. Betty Sax-Coberg-Gotha used to exercise a lot when she was younger. They are pretty old, but they are good for several years yet

Hillary has had several micro strokes, is obese, has had a severe concussion, and has never exercised. Sh has done very well to survive 2015.

OK I got a couple:

Billy Graham

Nancy Reagan

 

[Gracie]

Doris Day lives in Carmel, Calif. Just her, her nice cottage by the sea and her critters.

Billy graham must be 5000 years old.

 

[Gracie]

Young healthy people drop dead. These old fogies are still kickin' it. Good for them. Except for Betty White. Sick of her.

 

[Auld Phart]

Debbie Reynolds
GHW Bush
Bernard Fox
Bob Newhart
Olivia DeHavilland
Kirk Douglas
Zsa Zsa
Nelson Mandela
Alan Young

Your selections must be alive on December 31, 2015 and must be at room temperature by December 31, 2016 in order to count.

The more stiffs on your list by the end of the year the better for you, if not for them.

I've seen schemes where all kinds of wierd algorithms calculating age and history are mixed, but it's just too damn complicate. Just name ten folks and we'll take it from there.

And again this year, I'm offering as a prize a piece of our locally produced and world famous Fiestaware!
