Death pool, anyone? - cougarguard.com — unofficial BYU Cougars / LDS sports, football, basketball forum and message board

Yeah, kind of morbid, but it might be fun.

You select 10 people prior to the end of the year. If any of these people die during the subsequent year, you get an amount of points equal to the person's age subtracted from 100.

If you're in, post your list here by Jan. 1.

No prize for the winner, but I'll post your name. :lol:

Any handicaps for selecting all Bin Laden / Hussein / al Quida progeny?

5) Dick Cheney
6) Stephen Hawking
7) Gary Coleman
8) Danny Bonnaduce

Gary Coleman??? That's funny. Interestingly, Gary now lives in Santaquin, Utah. Santaquin is a little hick town on the southern end of Utah County. Santaquin is mostly a backwater filled with trailers, pickups, and rednecks, but it occasionally produces a genius of staggering intellect (ahem).

Anyway, Coleman came to Utah to play a part in Ward Ball or some other low-budget recent Mormon film, fell in love with the area, and bought a home in Santaquin. Go figure.

I hear that he's pretty friendly and will talk with just about anyone. Unless you ask him to say "Whatchu talkin' 'bout?". In which case the conversation is instantly over and you may get a punch in the nose.

My brother in laws, little brother was his gardener for a while, before he left on his missioin. Gary drives a huge black jacked up truck (fits perfectly in Santaquin) and lives in a decent sized house on the bench.

How about this journalism in the DN article about Coleman:

Quote:

According to a Web-based encyclopedia, the actor whose growth was stunted because of a congenital kidney disease played Arnold Drummond on "Diff'rent Strokes" from 1978 to 1986. Coleman had a kidney transplant in 1973 and another one in 1984.

I still hate these lists, which may be Seattle's point. Perhaps there's a morbid curiosity, but guessing the death of famous individuals is strange. That is all.
