Quoted with slight changes here and there. Stolen shamelessly from a thread that Nett daddy started. FOCUS: List up to a maximum of 5 celebrities that you think will die in 2012. ALT-FOCUS: List any/all TiB board members you think will swim with the fishes in the coming year. Go on to list the manner in which the death will occur. The rules: Each correct answer will be scored 5 points. If you call the manner of demise, 100 points will be awarded. Unless it's painfully obvious, like natural causes or OD. There will be awards for various achievements, such as first death, most unlikely, weirdest, etc There will be a "TiB's Choice Award" for most (post) humorous, and others as we think of them. Only the predictions made before 2012, Pacific time, will be eligible. Go. Nettdata Edit: It should have gone without saying that if you are found to have influenced any death you've predicted, or colluded with others on their predictions, you and the colluding parties will be awarded 1,000 bonus points for dedication.
I think Joe Paterno is a lock. Heart attack or his cancer spreads. He'll have a sad end, whatever it is. Bob Barker is up there in age so he has a chance. Most likely get mauled by some angry, castrated pets.
Terry Pratchett - Sadly wanders off and dies from falling down or something equally sucky. Joe Paterno - Being one billion years old will do that to you. Urban Mayer - Realizing that Ohio State is completely over rated, and he will not have the success he did at Florida finally does his heart in. Alan Alda - You can't be that awesome for that long without it catching up to you. Charlie Sheen - Cocaine is a hell of a drug. From the board Scootah - Angry Ex finally finds out why their former husband/wife stopped returning their calls. Hooker - Auto erotic asphyxiation. Bewildered - Heroically dies defending her beloved Abu from an international flying squirrel poaching ring. Suapyg - Being one billion years old will do that to you.
Bashar Al-Assad (bullet to the back of the head, keep the streak going) Joe Paterno (not original, but seems pretty inevitable) Wayne Rooney (had to pick a new entry for the 27 club, picked him over T-Pain) Lou Holtz (one can only hope) George Bush Sr. (hasn't looked well anytime I've seen him in the past 5 years or so)
1. Justin Bieber 2. Selena Gomez die together in a crash (either helicopter or private jet) 3. John McCain- the years of being a POW catch up with him and he dies of cancer 4. That other dude from Milli Vanilli-drugs 5. Yogi Bera-old age (90% of the death pool is half mental) TIBer's 1. Nom- contracts syphilis from a large assed peruvian girl, opts for homeopathic medicine and fails 2. Katokoch-after an extended session of playing with wood and chemicals in his basement that is poorly ventilated, Kato passes out and is impaled by the barrel of a gun he is working on. 3. Devils Advocate-bitten by rattlesnake 4. Dixie Bandit- killed by drunk driver
Dick Clark Margaret Thatcher Mike Wallace Nancy Reagan Willie Nelson TIBers: Scootah--not sure how, but it's going to involve jumper cable clamps and a bungee cord. Dewercs--shark attack. Durbanite--asks a girl out, she accepts, he has a heart attack.
Bob Barker - Fuck, that guy is old. Dr. Jerry Buss (Lakers owner) - Kobe sucks the life out of everyone eventually. Mindy McCready - Fuck, that bitch is crazy. Lindsay Lohan - Fuck, that bitch is crazy. Al Pacino - I don't know why, he just popped into my head. TiBbers: None of you fuckers better die, you must entertain us.
Betty White. Look, I don't want this awesome dame to die, but she's pretty old. Lindsay Lohan (obvious reasons) Papa Lohan (ditto)
Celebrities Joe Paterno - Ink poisoning Tim Tebow - Suicide after his elbow accidentally brushes against a girl's breasts Sandusky - Tries to make a run for it right before his trial, gets in a car crash with the press chasing him ala Princess Diana Jillian Michaels - Heart attack Ernest Borgnine - Disgruntled actuary takes him out for making their mortality tables look stupid Board Aetius - After a year of watching people he feels vastly intellectually superior to succeed while he remains un/underemployed, his head implodes. Nitwit - Based on his posts in one of the drunk threads inquiring about photoshop, I have him pegged at about 105. See Ernest Borgnine. Ballsack - After finding out he can't make nearly as much money as he use to practicing law for a big firm, but not wanting to ever work for one again, he finds himself in a conundrum and... dies of ink poisoning. lhprop - After feeling disrespected by a bull for stomping its hoof he goes into rugby attack mode, ends poorly. Nettdata - Remember that cub you scared off? Well he grew up, and HE. IS. PIIIIIIIISSED!
Nicky Minaj: One of us is finally going to listen to the voice in their head and stab her to death. Abe Vigoda Fish is a thousand years old now. This HAS to he his year. Or is he dead? You see, I never know. He's like Kirk Douglas--- you keep thinking he's dead, and he pops up at an award show and knocks them dead. Muhammed Ali Bad taste jokes are a dead horse here.
I was thinking Muhammad Ali as well. Eli Wallach - at age 96, "Tuco" from The Good the Bad and the Ugly. would have to be on short odds.
Angel: Parents are going to send her to a slave camp because she isn't a doctor yet. Durbanite: Going to get killed during a carjacking. Dixiebandit: Brain aneurysm after 36 hours straight of drinking and listening to Monster Magnet during a car chase through the backwoods of his area. Any number of Idiots: Liver failure.
Man I got this one in the bag... Everybody. Every man, woman, child, and varmit that walks, crawls, hops, slithers, flies, swims or flops - Mayan Apocalypse. Don't y'all watch the History Channel?
Fuck y'all...I was the leading board member mentioned to befall my demise in 2011. A few more days and I'll have made it. IN YOUR FACE!!! Tick-tock, tick-tock...
I didn't think you would die this year, but now that I know you're still posting I'll amend my original post to say that you may possibly die due to flipping a tractor in some godforsaken swamp in the backwoods of where you live and drowning in swamp water. Love your work buddy but the way you live will always make you susceptable to death calls, just like the way I am will always make me fair game for the Cirrhosis of the liver calls.
Nah, I'm betting if he goes it will be from a "Hey y'all watch this" involving booze and one or more of the following: a) guns b) power tools c) farming equipment (tractors, etc) d) fireworks/exposives
OK, here goes: 1) Tim Curry (a.k.a. Pennywise the dancing clown from IT) - he looks seriously ill on his photo on Wikipedia taken sometime last year. My guess would be cancer, which sucks, because I've always liked Curry as an actor; also, he has the same birthday as me, and same first two initials (and first name, if we're counting). 2) Nelson Mandela. Natural causes. He is 93. 3) Silvio Berlusconi. Assassinated, for putting Italy and its people in an untenable financial situation that will likely take decades to fix, if ever. 4) Dick Cheney. Isn't it obvious? The guy has already had 5 heart attacks... Most likely either another heart attack or congestive heart failure. 5) Sir Alex Ferguson. Stroke, following a stunning lack of anything resembling defense from his midfield and he has a stroke in the change room as a result of screaming at his players for at least 5 minutes solid.
I only got one of 5 last year. 1. Kirk Douglas 2. Zsa Zsa Gabor 3. Jerry Sandusky 4. Nancy Reagan 5. Estella Warren
