How come Doris Day and Kirk Douglas are
never on anybodies list. Kirk is 101.

Read the scoring rules. Someone over 100 scores worse than a miss.
The mind hungers for that on which it feeds.

I wasn't very picky in the 60's, but even
I thought it was a stupid show. I wanted
to punch Gomer in his schzam stupid face
half the time, nobody was that cornball in real


I was around 10 when I enjoyed Gomer Pile. Even then I probably would have admitted it was a guilty pleasure. Channel 5 in LA ran reruns of that show like three hours a day. Some other ten-year-old must have been their program director, it was a total television wasteland for pre-teen boys. Bewitched, the Munsters, Gilligan's Island, I think the Beverly Hillbillies. I think their budget couldn't afford shows in color. Although I lived through the Vietnam war, when it ended I could have told you much more about Gomer Pile than the whole war.

According to the rules you get points by difference from age 100. So you get zero points for Kirk Douglas.

You might win with only one correct guess if it is a 40 year old rapper who overdoses.

Congrats to ddlolm. Christopher Lee was the only one to pass in 2015. So, with 7 bonus points (Mr. Lee was 93 when he died on June 7) +7 points for list position, ddlolm is the winner with 14 points.


I didn't see the results for 2016

I'm sure they are in this thread somewhere but can I trouble you to tell me the rules. I think I'll play for 2018.

I started a thread for 2018. I just copied the rules from 2017. No one has submitted picks yet so feel free to make suggestions for rule changes.

I took the liberty of posting your picks in the 2018 thread. Hope you don't mind.

I have a tentative list. However, I'd like to know if it can only be death by natural causes. Or can I put names like Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi (leader of ISIS) who have a high price on their heads?
