So like... where do we actually place our bets?

Dolly Parton
Bob EuckerLance Henrikson

'Lucy' died years ago too.

* as a beloved hometown sports figure, this was the least stupid-looking photo available

Lance Henriksen is still alive.

It gets crazier: Apparently he got the wrong guy, and meant to target someone else.

None of my picks have come in yet. Adding Adam Ant.

Game lover and creator of the Yu-Gi-Oh! manga.

Anybody have David Warner?
Also I am doubting this thread's efficiency as a betting market. Where's your capitalism, people? I may be 0/5 but at least I'm in the game. I can't even figure valuations with a board this dead.

@Gribnit Sounds like something Mike Patton would say

I can see how you would be aiming for one non-famous person and get another non-famous person instead. But you're aiming for someone less famous, and you get the former Prime Minister?
-
@jinpa IIRC (didn't click) it wasn't that he was aiming for one guy but hit the wrong one, but that the guy he wanted (the leader of some religious group) didn't attend the event, and the former PM who was a supporter of the group was there

TIL that the guy who made Duckman died in June

@loopback0 It must be hard for youngsters to realize that she was once a heart-throb.
-
@jinpa I was in my late teensâearly 20s when she was at the peak of her career. I wasn't a fan of her music at the time, but she was definitely attractive, even though she was about a decade older than me.

The prime ages of attractiveness are absolute, not relative.
-
@jinpa She might have been even more attractive a decade earlier, but she wasn't as well known for the public to be aware of her attractiveness, and as a pre-teen, I wouldn't have cared.
-
@loopback0 yeah I heard pop star of the 80s and got my hopes up, but yeah, no. So close.

They're sorta both. Try to avoid the moldering corpse of current Betty Page.

But then she tended to be involved with guys about a decade younger than her anyway. Which reminds me, anybody heard news of Patrick McDermott lately?

@hungrier said in The Official 2022 Death Pool:
She has a 13 yo and 20 yo which makes it even more sad.
My mom died when I was ten, so I'm particularly sympathetic to the kids.

Yeah, it's rough, especially at those ages when it's usually their fault.

As a former preteen who was chasing cute girls around the playground at 6 years old, and saw plenty of classmates doing the same, I kind of doubt that. Even when kids are blissfully ignorant of the more adult realities of physical attractiveness, they're still well aware of the basics. If a hot older girl had been paying attention to you, you'd almost certainly have cared!

He is allegedly alive and well and residing in a small town in Mexico. Right next to John McAfee.

@topspin Is he king now, before any sort of coronation takes place, or just the presumptive next king?
-
@Mason_Wheeler wondering the same. I guess he is, but let's ask our British people.
