kirsten Posted May 30, 2010 Report Share Posted May 30, 2010 This was bloody difficult! I'm still not 100% on the choices, but I'm gonna make more of an effort on 1st January 2011. I wanted to do a funny team name but couldn't think of anything, so just went for a Guided By Voices track.A Contest Featuring Human BeingsDavid JasonLady GagaJames MaySylvester StalloneCharlize TheronAdam AntMidge UreHulk HoganKid RockKiefer SutherlandJack NicholsonBarry CryerBoy GeorgeKatie HolmesMorrisseyJudy FinneganTrevor McDonaldChris DeBurghPrince CharlesElton JohnJoker: Judy Finnegan.There are so many people on that list I'd be properly cut up about, but... they're likely. If anything, the only things that will help rid me of the grief are those cold, delicious points.[Edit: Shiiiit, forgot Doug Stanhope! Too scared to replace him with anyone else though, 'cos they're on the list now. They must remain...] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monster Zero Posted May 31, 2010 Report Share Posted May 31, 2010 F**k sake, not impressed Dennis Hopper has died, I thought he was eternally pickled, like Keith Richards.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shaki Posted May 31, 2010 Report Share Posted May 31, 2010 what did Macaulay Culkin ever do to you?You have one person too many by the way. I'd suggest dropping Edith Bowman, but your decision!I will remove Bowman (I feel I've as good as sentenced her to death)Revised list:Macaulay CulkinJohn Le CarreDavid Jason Susan Boyle Mickey Rourke Dave Stewart (Eurythmics)Stephen King Trey Parker Matt StoneEbbe Skovdahl Doug Stanhope Sally Gunnell Robin Williams Paddy Ashdown Madonna David AttenboroughMartin Scorcese Barry Eliot (Chuckle Brother)Diego Maradona Joker: Jack NicholsonAll still alive. Especially Sally Gunnell who seems a strange choice in retrospect. You never know though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alan Cynic Posted June 1, 2010 Report Share Posted June 1, 2010 I think whoever picked the newly-dead one first should get more points.(So Surfer Rosa would get more points for Dennis Hopper). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alan Cynic Posted June 1, 2010 Report Share Posted June 1, 2010 True...but some folks choices might be influenced by having their memories jogged by a previous poster.Not that bothered, though...apologies for seeming a nit-picker Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lemonade Posted June 1, 2010 Author Report Share Posted June 1, 2010 ... a bit slow/late with this, but here's my list:It's alright you still have the same amount of points as me! I knocked mine together in 2 minutes, it was basically the first 20 people I could think of. If I'd been thinking about it I would have picked all old / sick people. I do have reasons for some of them. Katie Melua for example is a big extreme sports fan and a bit of an adrenaline junkie. She actually drowned last year while canoeing and was resuscitated at the side of the river. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shaki Posted June 1, 2010 Report Share Posted June 1, 2010 I put the South Park creators in in the 'hope' that they'll be assassinated by offended religious extremist nut jobs (most likely of the Muslim variety) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lemonade Posted June 2, 2010 Author Report Share Posted June 2, 2010 I move that we make June 30th the deadline for submitting teams, otherwise people can just wait until someone is taken ill / rushed to hospital and quickly stick in a team with them as their captain.Agreed?

Lemonade Posted June 2, 2010 Author Report Share Posted June 2, 2010 Has anyone picked Kim Jong-Il? Over the past few years he is supposed to have died like 4 times from diabetes, stroke, brain hemmorhage among other things, and he's rumoured to have cancer. Seems like a good bet.

Soda Jerk Posted June 2, 2010 Report Share Posted June 2, 2010 There was a story in The Sun a few weeks back that said that Kim Jong Il had selected himself for the North Korea World Cup squad. I haven't seen their squad, but I hope it's true. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
