Dead Pool 2020

[Nosmo King]

It's that time of year again! Ringing the old year out, ringingmthe new year in. We lost some greats in 2019. Here's your chance to predict who will shuffle off this mortal coil in 2020. The rules are simpl. Pick 10 celebrities from any arena:'show business, sports, politics or general fame that you think won't be around to ring in 2021. Please no partisan vendettas! We know who thenpartisans would pick out of spite and we know he level of respect somempartisans have for their opposition, the president guides that peculiar immorality. This thread is just for predictions, hunches and guesses.

I’m stealing a few from Dekster.

1. Prince Philip
2. Betty White
3. Clarence Thomas
4. Loretta Lynn
5. Max Von Sydow (the world’s greatest living actor)
6. Olivia de Havilland (103!)
7. Jimmy Carter
8. Jerry Lee Lewis
9. Harry Belafonte
10. Tommy DeVito (The Four Seasons)


I resisted including Tony Bennett, Dick Van Dyke, Mel Brooks, Carl Reiner because they’re not allowed to die.

Y'all gotta get one thing through your heads. Betty White ain't going nowhere as long as Gracie is here to appreciate her.

I can't really do a list. Takes more effort than I'm willing to put out to establish a distinction between "who's old" and "who's old and in failing health". I know zero for instance about Prince Philip. Didn't even know we had a prince. Other than that I'd have to list people I know more about but don't want to see go like Norman Blake and Joni Mitchell.

Guess I'll take Kirk Douglas and Olivia deHavilland even though I don't know that much about either of them either.

Anyone with info about Epstein's island and its guest's [sic].

I'd like to nominate for the Dead Pool ---- strictly on the basis of wishful thinking ---- the practice of using apostrophes to form plurals in English.

I can dream cant I.

At least 50 Ds in the house will lose their seats prior to the election due to the Durham investigations
