Is it a little early, yes it is - but it is December and come the last week of the month we are going to be distracted with football.

So start working on your picks bitches - gotta be some sorta Celebrity (like having a wiki page, though that isn't the only reference material).
Points are awarded, though rarely tallied, based on 100 minus age at date of death
Must have at least on person under the age of 40, to qualify for the grand prize

Contest entries close at Midnight 12/31/2023 - if you pick early, and someone dies before 1/1/2024, then you get to make a replacement pick

I was going to split my picks between Bershire board of directors and former presidents - but Charlie Munger already passed so I am rethinking this one

Good luck - I rarely get even one right, so you could pay me to pick someone you don't want to die

Growing up my dad was always my summer league coach. We threw the ball and I hit the ball for hours in our backyard and on the field. I had the opportunity to play baseball at the collegiate level but

Why is Selena Gomez on the list?  Is something wrong with her?  I don't follow her personal life but I love her on "Only Murders in the Building..."  Rudy G. is a great pick.  I assume we submit the usual 10 slots?  I must consult my actuarial experts at Woodmen of the World Insurance.  A Woodsman Leads the Way!!!

She had a liver or kidney transplant a few years ago, required due to complications from lupus, and I think she was purportedly having complications.

I saved her life, but putting her on my list.

Well then who have many of my fellow Americans been blowing the last several months?  

I honest to God thought Gene Hackman had died already.  I don't know why.  The simulation, cruel as it is, will probably take him on 20 February to mark the 20th anniversary of "Welcome to Mooseport", his final film.  What an unbelievable body of work.  So great at comedy, drama, thrillers, everything.  Hope he lives long enough to put out another book, but won't blame him if he can't.  

Also, put me down for a sawbuck on Gene Shalit, Alan Greenspan, and Pat Boone

Yoko is 90? And I'm older than Bam?  What the fuck is going on in this simulation?  

Sadly, Bruce way me on his way out.  Bummer.  

noCR, but if Trump goes...i'm 72 hours behind.  

csb/ i was watching a Columbo rerun the other night with Dick Van Dyke.  I gotta give him credit.  He looks roughly the same now as he did 40 years ago.  Godspeed.

Half those fools will prolly bite it in 2024.

Gonna need a replacement, as Normal Lear beat you to the punch.

Bull-fucking-shit. 

Dude looks like he's undead these days. He didn't look like a ghoul in 1983.

Chris Evert’s ovarian cancer has returned and she’s stepping down right now from her on air announcing duties at ESPN to deal with her chemo. She’s 68. Her sister died at 62 from the same cancer. 💜

Gene Hackman,  Robert Duvall, James Earl Jones and Clint Eastwood are all in their 90’s (basically all the same age nearly) and a recent picture of Gene showed him as almost unrecognizable you can tell it’s him in the face but He is razor thin. Robert Redford is 87 and has retired from acting. 

Susan Sullivan, 80, of Falcon Crest and the show Castle and Dharma and Greg is dealing with lung cancer. She tweets a lot about enjoying each day. 💜

Shannen Doherty has already been mentioned. Been listening to her podcast that just aired. She’s fighting this hard core but her cancer has spread to her bones and she had a brain tumor she nicknamed Bob removed. She wants to fall in love again and isn’t ready to give up so I hope we don’t see her in 2024 on this list. 💜

I worry about Billie Eilish and Demi Lovato. Selena Gomez as well. All three of these ladies honestly. 
 

Jerry is putting Jimmy in the Cowboys Ring of Honor finally on December 30th. I know he’s trying to break the “curse” but he’s old and doesn’t take care of himself.

Anyone else you want to checkoff a day before their demise?

5. Donald Trump
6. Danny Devito
7. Kanye West
8. King Charles III
9. Hulk Hogan

This is a solid list. 

I feel like the year I take Kanye off of my entry will be the year he croaks. 

Might do an experiment - if it works, you (and just about everyone else) can thank me later.
