I realize a few of my picks last year were retalitory. gonna have to take a few off.  Pretty sure Putin isnt going to die this year.  but that means Navalny more than likely will so I will replace him in Putin's place.  Taking off Ruggs, Rivera and Saban as well, 

This years list:

Shannen Doherty

Greta Thunberg (shes my young ringer. lots of private jet flying and she pisses off enough people to cause someone to go after her)

Dan Rather

Alexei Navalny

Jerry Jones 

Bruce Willis

Mick Jagger

Julie Andrews

Robert Duvall

Jane Fonda

in the previous 5-6ish years we have done this I had 1 correct pick.  2 in a year is odd for me. 

sad shes gone.

 

but I would love to be right about Jerry and Jane this year.

    Growing up my dad was always my summer league coach. We threw the ball and I hit the ball for hours in our backyard and on the field. I had the opportunity to play baseball at the collegiate level but

Tough day to be an 80's icon.  They come in 3's, who is next?

SurlyGator, you did this.

(and for the record, I think Heathers makes her more of an 80s icon than The Shining did for Shelly Duval.

Richard Simmons is apparently a slip and fall.

 

Morgan and Morgan has filed suit.  For the people.

Wow, was just watching an old video of Conan interviewing Tiffani Thiessen a few hours ago, and that got me to thinking about Doherty and wondering how much longer she had left. I guess the answer was about 6 hours. 

 

Trying hard not to think about Willie right now!

Shannen was not unexpected but still hurts. She fought cancer with all she had. Damnit.

Maybe now we can see that missing episode of Charmed.

Wasn't a huge fan of any of them, but they certainly were significant parts of the Gen X childhood/early adulthood.

The older you get, the more deaths that you see. For someone who is ~20, most of the celebrity deaths of the past few days mean little.

Wait til you’re 65. Seeing folks die at 90 seems young.

No one really talks about how time accelerates the older you get when you’re young. Savor every bit of life.

If I had known I was going to live this long, the 70's & 80's would have been much different. Fucking fiddlers and payday.

Alcohol poisoning?

Not sure, but the Oregonian paper reported her raft was tied to several others, hit some submerged debris, capsized and she never surfaced. No life vest.

She was an amazing cook and a really cool gal. We had lots of mutual friends. RIP

That sucks, always where a life jacket on a lake.  I live right next to one (not even all that big of a lake), and like clockwork we get 6 deaths a year almost exactly as described.  The muddy water combined with debris is always the culprit, and it usually takes a couple of days for them to find the bodies.  It's so bad that search and rescue practices down the street pretty much year round.

I'm off Allatoona, which isn't the big lake in the Atlanta area, that's Lanier.  But that's the one I'm next to.

Yes!  We just had a mishap a week ago.  My wife and daughter went out with some of her friends and their daughters for a girl's day out on the lake with a friend's pontoon.  As they were coming in to top off the tank, her friend got out of the throttle and one of the 8 yr old girls went over the front, funneled between the two pontoons and got hit by the prop.  Cut her thigh almost to the bone (luckily, missed her femoral artery), had a big cut on her head, and fractured her pelvis.  But she had her life jacket on so they were able to get to her.

Note:  had that been me going over the front, I'd hope I didn't have on a lifejacket in hopes I could get deep enough to be missed by the prop!

She was on the Willamette River near Corvallis. Here's a link to the story if anyone is interested.

Wear the fucking life jacket.

Buddy & his stepdaughter just went whitewater rafting in Michigan/Wisconsin or some shit. Wife didn’t go because she has a fear of dying on the water.

Hope she misses that story.

Boat captain pretty negligent here. Life jackets are essential but someone at the helm who knows what they are doing is just as essential.

I worked at Hamilton Pool for a while, fortunately while the pool was closed for swimming. Drownings were nearly annual there before, and no more than about 100 people can swim there each day. It's insane to me that poor swimmers, or parents of poor swimmer, take no steps to avoid such things.

I always tell you people that life is like a roll of toilet paper. It spins a lot faster the closer you get to the end of the roll.
