DEAD POOL REVIVED

I told Les we need to revive the DEAD POOL (see BLOG article here). He asked, "Isn't revive a kind of oxymoron there?" Patty and Mike were the "founders" of the DEAD POOL when we worked together.

I asked Les, "What can we call Patty; a fancy name for FOUNDER?" He said, "Just like Jack Hanna--Director Emeritus".

Patty and Mike must be DIRECTORS EMERITUS! Mike is a Facebook friend (I'll get in contact with him to see if he's still as SICK as he used to be!)

Wagering when old people are going to die (which does NOT include us, as we are only celebrities in our own minds) is SICK, but, of course, we all admit to being sick!

Here are the names we've chosen for the "revived" DEAD POOL:

1. BILLY GRAHAM
2. KIRK DOUGLAS
3. DONALD STERLING
4. CASEY KASEM
5. ZSA ZSA GABOR
6. FIDEL CASTRO
7. PRINCE PHILIP
8. JERRY LEWIS
9. ABE VIGODA
10. ELI WALLACH

Gerald suggested Betty White, but Les and I screamed, "No, NOT Betty White!" NO, NO, NO! There isn't anyone BELOVED on the list!

RULES:

1. Membership dues: $10 which is $1.00 for each celebrity listed.
2. Each member predicts a date when the celebrity will die.
3. The one who predicts the date closest to the death gets the POT!
4. I shall maintain the list of predictions.

DEAD!
