2023 Death Pool results! (comments now enabled, god help us)

What did you all know about Tina Turner that I didn't?! 2023 was kind of a dud, unless your name's Dan. He scored the highest hit with 71 points for Matthew Perry. Will took a chance on Norman Lear (101 years old) and it paid off for 24 points. Will, Matt, and Mary all took the same chance on Henry Kissinger and got zero points. This year will officially begin on JANUARY 15TH. Please have your 2024 picks in by then. I have deleted the old master list post, if you need your 2023 list just let me know. Remember, you can use a solo pick from your 2023 list to carry over to 2024 as a keeper pick. The keeper pick will be yours and guarantees a solo pick in the event that person sinks into the K hole and a hot tub at the same time. (or gets crushed by a stack of bananas like Harry Belafonte) $10, 15 picks, solo picks get you an extra 25 points and the more the merrier so please tell a friend. As always, please be on the lookout for errors because I are dumb. 1. Dan J - 167 points. Ma

Final Death Pool Results for 2022

That's that for another year of the Celebrity Death Pool and while it wasn't the most exciting year we DID have more people participating this year than ever before! Barbara Walters added for some 11th hour excitement, and I'm pretty happy I don't have to keep seeing Queen Elizabeth's name on this or anywhere else for that matter.  If you're joining up for the 2023 Death Pool (or know anyone else who wants to, please spread the word!) please have your picks in by Saturday, January 21st. If I can get everyone's picks in by then I can start this year on the 23rd. 15 picks, $10. Those of you that had a solo pick on your list last year can carry ONE solo pick over to this year's list as a keeper pick. If you need your list from last year just let me know. Now for the final results, feel free to double check because I am stupid... (the dead person's age subtracted from 100, +25 pt solo bonus if applicable) 1. Keenan - 123 points (Tom Parker, Angela Lansbu
