The crypt

[Lobo]

This place seems more like a crypt than a forum.
What is the deal people?

I believe no one wants to talk Mr. Lobo, I've tried but people just read and don't put their two-cents in. Come on people if you click on a thread at least write a two-word reply. At least that's something. I'll get something to talk about... or maybe not, most people are not as morbid as I am.

Since the year is almost over let's go ahead at get our picks for the Ghoul Pool next year. I'll go ahead and keep track of everyone's points. Just reply to the thread with your top ten picks of which celebrities your betting will die next year. I better start thinking of mine too. Good luck.

P.S. I'm sure not many people will reply.

I'm definitely not going to reply to this thread, I know so little about famous people that I couldn't possibly think of three people that might kick the tin tombstone. Ol' Bob Jenkins down at Binko-Mart is looking pretty grim, though. They have him greeting 6-days a week 12-hours a day. Sucking the life right out of him, it is.

Ok I guess my list has been requested from the Dead Guy but first i want to let Jack In London know that most of his picks would only get him a few points since almost everyone he picked is ancient. Who knows, he might win if everyone he picks kicks off and the ones we pick live on. Those bastards.

How would you guys feel about adding extra points if we guess the way their lives will come to an end. =) All right well here's my list of ten.

1) Chi Cheng - Bassist for the Deftones. I believe he's still in a coma right? I'm sure he'll stroke out and die.

2) Mel Brooks - I hope I’m wrong. Usually when the spouse dies the other follows. it's been 3 years but he's still kicking, maybe 4 years a charm? He'll go by colon cancer.

3) One of the Wiggles - I guess I’ll have to be specific, let's go with the Yellow Wiggle. After being convicted for child molestation he'll do a few years. While in prison he will meet is demise. We all know what they do to sick perverts in prison, ask Dahmer.

4) Shia LaBeouf - Child icon, He escaped death when his truck rolled over... think death will miss next time? Car accident for him.

5) Corey Haim - Who? You know the guy I haven't seen in a good movie since The Lost Boys. After seeing him on the Two Corey’s show I can tell he's way crazy. Suicide is how I see it.

6) Rosie O'Donnell - Talk show person? Anyway She's someone everyone hates but for that reason I love very much. She'll die when she runs into some "Yes on 8" protesters here in California’s dark alleys. =/

7) Kanye West - Does anyone like this singer? Singer is not the word but I think crybaby is. Since his latest record was a flop he'll get dropped by his record label. Just like the Notorious B I G and TuPac did. (O.O) That's right I said it.

8) Martin Lawrence – Actor. He's been known to fight with people. He'll start something with the wrong person and end up getting shot.

9) Clint Eastwood - Actor / director / Dirty Harry. I saw the previews for his latest movie last night and I have to agree with my wifey, "he's not looking to good". Think he has one more year in him? I don't think so. Lung cancer.

10) Sir Paul McCartney - Singer / Every American teenage girls wet dream in 1964. No big surprise that one legged whence was going to take his money after the marriage failed. Taking his money is one thing taking his life is something else. Just like his buddy John he will be shot in the back.

There are my 10, I’m getting all the picks on a spread sheet so keep them coming.

I’ve been doing this pool for a few years now and I’ve heard tales about people who do this game. I don’t think they’re true but I heard one year this guy was playing and planed to kill everyone on his list so he would win. Remember Hometown Tales listeners, this is all in fun, don’t be a cheater and try to off your picks. Play fair and let them just die if they are going to die.

Wasn't there a film about that a few years ago? Seem to remember it went for the wry, ironic approach, as opposed to the trashy, grindhouse tone that the subject so clearly deserves.

Never heard a movie about it. If there is a movie i would sure like to see it.
