I could kiss you!

Oh okay. *pulls down trousers and bends over*

I'M THE BEST!!!

and so is Plissken.

Not quite! I just noticed you've picked 12 people.

Yes.

10 and 2 Wildcards.

Wasn't that what we where asked to submit? Oh I'm the only pleb.

Er take off Alice Cooper and Fiddy Cent then please.

x

yeah, well done for bringing this over from WoS. Well done for thwarting Zardoz' cunning plan too!

I am sure I entered this... I was a little past the cut-off date, but was allowed entry... not that anyone I said has died, but still...

(I use the ellipsis too often)

You're right. Updated with yourself and Targaff.

Well done to whomever selected Charlton Heston: http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/entertainment/7332960.stm


EDIT: Looks like only Squirt and Curiosity selected him. Updated the 1st post.

Time to get the semi-automatic "hunting" rifle off of him, then.

Man that ones a gutter, mainly because I thought I had him on my list then realised I didnt.
Horrible man in real life but planet of the apes is the aces, so im quite sad about this.
tribute-silver jews and planet of the apes=excellence

This.

I don't think he was a horrible man in real life, just incredibly foolish and in a second childhood in his old age. Heston was actually quite liberal when he was a young man. Despite being a spokesman for (and being exploited by) the odious NRA, I still retained some affection for him. Mainly because of a wonderful and thoughtful many-paged afterwood he wrote for one of the Master & Commander novels. Which is my fave series of books.

I can't think of a funny "cold, dead hands" joke! Woe!

It would be a better tribute if that wasn't footage from the second apes film - that's James Franciscus, not Charlton Heston. Not a bad track though, although I couldn't really get into that Jews album - suddenly the critics were raging about them, but it's not a patch on the likes of Bright Flight.

I note myself and Morte both have Prince Phillip.

EDIT: a bit more research, and it might be footage from Apes 1 & 2 spliced together. I honestly can't tell - when they cast Franciscus for his resemblence to Heston, they didn't go far wrong.

Oh i know it wasnt heston just an excuse to show planet of the apes and silver jews.

bright flight is my favourite jews album, but Ive liked american kindness and tanglewood numbers, although the new one is absolutely terrible, only 2 decent songs on it.

As I've posted elsewhere.

"Time to take the gun from his cold, dead hands then."

Not wanting to tempt fate, but hasn't it been a long time since a celeb carked it?

Lyttleton went last week, so there's at least one person got a point which isn't yet reflected above.

You're right. Well done Morte.

Don't forget Plissken - he guessed Humph too.

And he spelled his name correctly

Lyttleton's died?

Shit.

YOU MADE IT HAPPEN. I hope you're proud. *sharpens celeb knives*

And another (although perhaps pushing the term 'celebrity' a bit here).

I have an inkling you're stalking these poor sods now. Stop your murdering!

Curses.. rumbled! last one while I lay low.

Pollacks.

COr, that's 2 each for Plissken and Curiosity now.

I knew I recognised that Pollack fella's name from somewhere!

Anyone got George Carlin?

RIP Rufus

He's partying with death now...

Jack Sugden dead. Blimes.

No he didn't. It's 'Lyttelton', not 'Lyttleton'...

You've got a chance

*bump*

Considering how late in the year it's getting I thought I'd drag this back up. My records show that Curiosity and Plisskin are drawing for 1st place with 2 deaths each. Unless I've missed some, which is always possible.

Gets bid in for dear dear Dickie for 2009. Especially if I stick another roller skate on his stairs.

I'm already compiling my list of celebrity croakers for 2009.

Is there a lot of money invested in all this? Only I've been thinking of a career change for a while now, and I'm pretty sure I'd be happy to off at least half the names that come up.

Christ! When I first saw this I thought you meant on HERE whos gonna croak first 0.0 scared me

I'll make my list later

If I put Shin on next years list can that be worth 2 points?

Thats not fair! You have inside knowledge that I'm having cyanide and now arsnic on toast after the Manc meet CHEATER

I think putting Mr A. Rickman on your list would have more effect.

*Goes off to cry in a corner*

Can I get 5 points for a suicide pact? 10 if Alan isn't aware of it in advance?
