December 4, 20232 yr Is it a little early, yes it is - but it is December and come the last week of the month we are going to be distracted with football. So start working on your picks bitches - gotta be some sorta Celebrity (like having a wiki page, though that isn't the only reference material). Points are awarded, though rarely tallied, based on 100 minus age at date of death Must have at least on person under the age of 40, to qualify for the grand prize Contest entries close at Midnight 12/31/2023 - if you pick early, and someone dies before 1/1/2024, then you get to make a replacement pick I was going to split my picks between Bershire board of directors and former presidents - but Charlie Munger already passed so I am rethinking this one Good luck - I rarely get even one right, so you could pay me to pick someone you don't want to die

She had a liver or kidney transplant a few years ago, required due to complications from lupus, and I think she was purportedly having complications. I saved her life, but putting her on my list.

December 5, 20232 yr Keef would been on the '23 list, but Kissinger got plucked outta the crane game instead of him.
December 5, 20232 yr I'm gonna use my list from last year and maybe change one or two. Manufacturing runs instead of trying to hit bombs: 1. Gene Hackman 2. Pope Ben 16 3. Clint Eastwood 4. Willie Nelson 5. Mel Brooks 6. Dick Van Dyke 7. Gene Shalit 8. Willie Mays 9. Jimmy Carter 10. Demi Lovato
December 5, 20232 yr Celebrities over 90: Clint Eastwood, Dick Van Dyke, Mel Brooks, Jimmy Carter, James Earl Jones, Gene Hackman, Norman Lear, David Attenborough, William Shatner Half those fools will prolly bite it in 2024.
December 5, 20232 yr I don't mind, but given that the deadline has typically been some time in the first week of January, I envision a lot of late entry disqualfications this round.
December 5, 20232 yr Well then who have many of my fellow Americans been blowing the last several months? I honest to God thought Gene Hackman had died already. I don't know why. The simulation, cruel as it is, will probably take him on 20 February to mark the 20th anniversary of "Welcome to Mooseport", his final film. What an unbelievable body of work. So great at comedy, drama, thrillers, everything. Hope he lives long enough to put out another book, but won't blame him if he can't. Also, put me down for a sawbuck on Gene Shalit, Alan Greenspan, and Pat Boone

December 7, 20232 yr Shannon Doherty and Bruce Willis are the obvious picks here.Yeah. I consider them my aggy yearly 2 wins guaranteed via Abilene Christian, etc. For Tom Landry’s sake, I really want Jones to vacate this planet.

December 8, 20232 yr John Williams high likelihood. Gonna hear a lot of Star Wars and Superman themes soon.
December 9, 20232 yr Chris Evert’s ovarian cancer has returned and she’s stepping down right now from her on air announcing duties at ESPN to deal with her chemo. She’s 68. Her sister died at 62 from the same cancer. 💜 Gene Hackman, Robert Duvall, James Earl Jones and Clint Eastwood are all in their 90’s (basically all the same age nearly) and a recent picture of Gene showed him as almost unrecognizable you can tell it’s him in the face but He is razor thin. Robert Redford is 87 and has retired from acting. Susan Sullivan, 80, of Falcon Crest and the show Castle and Dharma and Greg is dealing with lung cancer. She tweets a lot about enjoying each day. 💜 Shannen Doherty has already been mentioned. Been listening to her podcast that just aired. She’s fighting this hard core but her cancer has spread to her bones and she had a brain tumor she nicknamed Bob removed. She wants to fall in love again and isn’t ready to give up so I hope we don’t see her in 2024 on this list. 💜 I worry about Billie Eilish and Demi Lovato. Selena Gomez as well. All three of these ladies honestly. Jerry is putting Jimmy in the Cowboys Ring of Honor finally on December 30th. I know he’s trying to break the “curse” but he’s old and doesn’t take care of himself. Edited December 9, 20232 yr by Nicole44

Might do an experiment - if it works, you (and just about everyone else) can thank me later.
