Death Pool

I know it's been quite a while since we did one of these and it would generally be a calendar year event. I would like to try something different, kind of like is done on the Howie Carr show. For those of you outside chowdland, he is a Boston afternoon drive talk host. Sort of a cross between Rush and Rome. His deathpool resets when someone cashes in. The next day he has callers phone in their picks. He also has a "quick pick" feature for callers who can't come up with their own.
My pick, is the apparently immortal Zsa Zsa Gabor. She was seemingly minutes away from death a good 6 or 7 years ago. It's as if the Grim Reaper is the purple people eater defense and she's Roger Staubach in an NFC conference title game.
Mods, a sticky for this would be nice. You get one pick, put a time frame on it so we don't have you DP gamers waiting on the sidelines for the next Ali to come along.

T.R.O.T.S. would be a better choice than a sticky.

You're my next pick, douchbag.
You weren't ever married to Zsa Zsa, btw, were you? She did a lot of that sort of thing back in the fifties.

She's 99 years old. Way to go for that one point.

I get the idea. Kind of a "Sudden Death" death pool. Not in though.

This not following the old format. You get one pick. Go for the low hanging fruit. If you want a quick pick, wolfie's still on the board.

Just to make it sporting, we should rule out Classic Rock stars. That's like shooting fish in a barrel these days.

Mods, how about locking this after a week. That will give the 7 posters and their associated trolls time enough to post their picks.

I doubt the EU dies, but it has a bit of a cold. It all depends on how long the Germans agree to carry all the bit player freeloaders. I have to think that they get a little tired of it eventually.

Joe Perry is still on the board. His DP power ranking definitely moved up a few notches this past week.

Everything in moderation, fat boy. You'll succumb to a heart attack long before my liver lets me down.

I think I am gonna trade in Zsa Zsa for Hillary. I am very much enjoying watching her campaign herself to death. Couldn't happen to a nicer person.
If she does hold out through the campaign, I suspect she will look about like Tammy Fay Baker the day before she died. That likely is the most shocking thing I have ever seen on TV or the interwebs or wherever it was. Yikes.

Y'know, fukk Zsa Zsa and Hillary, I am calling dibs on the Weiner man. Not sure if Hillary will have him whacked or he'll do himself. just wouldn't surprise me a bit to read about his unfortunate demise soon.

Nah, bro. It's Huma who's about to be Ft. Marcy Parked. Hillary's already shutting her out in public, no love.

Or Judge Wapner? At 97, that shoulda been foreseeable though not worth many points.

That tall dude on GoT died from a heart attack yesterday too. He was 36 years old, but being 7' 7" probably had something to do with it.
