DeadPool (redux)

[matgb]

I had a comment today on an old entry I'd completely forgotten about. What entry Mat? I hear you ask. Well, my entry on The Dead Pool 2006, from no less than the creator of the idea in the first place. I'd, um, completely forgotten about it, I'd meant to plug it all the way through December. So, options...

[Poll #658415]
It would be a shame for mapp to win by default with no actual prizes. IF'n you want to enter it anyway, go ahead, entries are only valid if enough people vote to continue the competition (poll closes Sunday 29th 25.59), if they do, entries must be made before January 31st 23.59; people that die before closing date don't count, Mark can redo his entry if he wishes. Go on...

The biggest problem with Dead Pools is that it requires thinking way, way too much about celebrities, and I don't care enough about them.

I definately typed a reply to this yesterday; maybe LJ ate it? Ah well.

Anyway, don't think b-list hollywood, think politicians and other genuinely famous people; Bill Gates could get hit by a car, Ariel Sharon is pretty certain. How about your new minority PM and enough of his MPs to force an election...

I have 2 entries, they're both local, more is good...

Seeing as you're allowing me to modify my list retroactively, could you please add "Shelley Winters" to my list, then give me a point for the fact she died on the 14th?

I should at least get a prize.

See, if she was on your initial list, then yes, but she's not, so retroactvie 'she's dead already' is really not on, especially as I'll be uncreening all the comments so people will see when they're entered. Can't be seen to be cheating when the prize is the other entrants doing stuff for you... ;-)

I have another entry BTW. Get to it. Oh, and persuade Freddie that poor taste humour is still fun, she's the only one that hasn't voted 'funny'...

I'm sorry, but it's not.

It's just immoral and silly. And in really bad taste!
