Celebrity Death Pool!

I clicked on that headline and, as Yahoo! is sometimes wont to do, it took me to a different article that had nothing about who the other four were.

[vynsane]

good enough place to put this as any...

i heard from a reliable source that Oscar Pistorius' legal team will claim that Reeva Steenkamp was actually a Replicant, and that Pistorius was just doing his job. unfortunately she never took a Voight-Kampff test while alive, so it will be hard to prove.

allegations that Pistorius is, in fact, himself a Replicant are inconclusive and probably will be left up to interpretation.

AAAHHaaaaa....I see what you did there. That took me about 13 seconds to process though. Clever.

Right after it happened, I saw a headline with a photo of him from the neck up that said, "Blade Runner accused of killing girlfriend."

My first thought was, "How did I not hear about a Blade Runner remake, 'cause that guy is too young to have been in that movie."

[Namblaman]

I totally had Hugo Chavez.

[RoIIo Tomassi]

That could be taken in different ways.


Dibs on Valerie Harper! She doesn't have the sack to pull a Tony Scott.

The Undertaker's old manager, Paul Bearer passed away yesterday. He was 58. I figured he was older.

Peter Banks, the original guitarist from Yes, passed away Tuesday. He was in a couple other bands, but I'm not very familiar with them.

[anarky]

"Not familiar"? The only other one I've even heard of is Blodwyn Pig, and I can only tell you they've got a name you can't easily forget.

[Ran]

I've heard of Flash, which was made up of other people from Yes. I just listened to two Flash songs on youtube and they sound like Yes.

[anarky]

Once again, I have gained a point but feel like it's the world that lost.

[RoIIo Tomassi]

At least he's reunited with Gene.

[anarky]

Not exactly "celebrity," but anyone else think it's a moot point to ask whether Rick Warren's son was gay?

[Ran]

RIP Margaret Thatcher.

(and that is a point for me)

Seems like there have been quite a wave of celebrity deaths lately. Johnathan Winters, Pat Summerall, Richard LeParmentier (the guy who played Admiral Motti), and Storm Thorgerson (the artist that designed album covers for Pink Floyd and Led Zeppelin among others). I think I'm forgetting someone else.

The artist who designed the Buffalo Bills logo in 1973 also passed away recently.
