Deadpool 2013

[maninasuitcase]

Time to start thinking about your 2013 list. Same rules as last year.

1. 10 picks per person.
2. They must be alive on 01/01/2013
3. They must have a wiki page
4. They cannot be on death row awaiting execution
5. You can't bump them off yourself
6. You can sub someone in if a pick croaks before 01/01/2013

Away you go.

How about a random double point bonus date ? 26th May ?

 

[Crabby Shrimper]

too late to implement for this year, but maybe for 2014 an age handicap system? Makes it a higher score for a 40-50 year old than a 90-100.

Why? What have you got planned for 26th May? *raises eyebrow suspiciously*

I was in a "deadpool competition" a few years back where for each death you got 100 points less the deceased's age on the date of death.

Made it a bit more interesting

Still standing in 2012

From the world of literature, is 451 Fahrenheit the temperature of hell? - it's Ray Bradbury!

From the world of politics, his political career has been dead for over a decade now - it's Bob Dole!

From the world of acting, he's the world's greatest living cockney, but how much longer before he's diagnosed as brown bread? - it's Dick Van Dyke!

From the world of the living dead - it's Dennis Norden!

He outlasted Sugar Ray Robinson in the ring and in life, but is 201213 going to be a knockout for Raging Bull Jake LaMotta?

Is 2012 the year Eric Hobsbawm becomes history himself? It would surely just be historical determinism.

I say a little prayer that we won't be paying our last Respects to the great Aretha Franklin

From the Queen of Soul to No Soul, if there's no moor vacancies in heaven that won't be an issue for Ian Brady

Will the Grim Reaper hit a Bullseye with the legendary Jim Bowen

And finally strap in, could it be Frank Bough's going to be Frank Bough?


So I'll add in:

As a royal miscarriage isn't allowed under the rules, the Grim Reaper will be looking elsewhere in the Royal Family - step forward and say some inappropriate last words HRH Phil the Greek!

There will be weeping in student bars across the country, but will 2013 be the year to free Nelson Mandela from the pain of old age?

 

[MrB]

From the world of acting, he's the world's greatest living cockney, but how much longer before he's diagnosed as brown bread? - it's Dick Van Dyke!

It's his birthday today.

 

[Yorkshire Blue]

It's his birthday today.

How old is he now?

He must be Cricko-esque by now?

 

[MK Shrimper]

How old is he now?

He must be Cricko-esque by now?
