Deadpool
Well, my 2005 Deadpool picks did better than most. Seven out of 15 died, giving me just enough to finish 7th. Prizes went through 6th place, of course. Not bad, though, out of a field of 144 players. Baldilocks, for example, got none of 15 ;-p
Hal Horn won with about double the 2nd place score.
For 2006, I hope to do better. My picks for demise in the coming year, in alphabetical order, with profession and date-of-birth:
- Astor, Brooke, philanthropist, 3/30/02
- Biggs, Ronnie, crook, 8/8/20
- Felt, W Mark, bureaucrat, 08/17/13
- Ford, Glenn, actor, 5/1/16
- Galbraith, John Kenneth, economist, 10/15/08
- Jones, Robert Earl, actor, 2/3/11
- Hunt, E Howard, spook, 10/9/18
- Lawford, Patricia Kennedy, "Kennedy", 5/6/24
- Papon, Maurice, Nazi, 9/3/10
- Pell, Claiborne, politician, 11/22/18
- Shriver, Sargent, politician, 11/9/15
- Stroessner, Alfredo, politician, 11/3/12
- Wasserstein, Wendy, playwright, 10/18/50
- Whitney, Phyllis A., novelist, 9/9/03
- Wyman, Jane, actress, 1/4/14
And, no, I don't want to discuss karma.
