Today's Apocalypse Sign: The Holiday Threesome Has Begun!

Yep, we have hit that time of year again. No, it isn't Christmas, Hanukkah, Kwanza, or Festivus (for the rest of us). It is the real life version (sort of) of the Three Christmas Spirits.

It is the Celebrity Dead Pool. The Curse of The Threes.

You know it or have heard whispers of it. When a big celebrity dies, there are two more coming right behind them. And when the first one happens right before December, you know 2 more celebs will not see the new year.

And to kick things off this year, none other than our beloved Leslie Neilson dies of pneumonia complications while battling a staph infection. I loved the movie Airplane and can quote most of it by heart. His comedic timing and sight gags were hilarious.

Watch the tribute below, it's worth it:




The question now becomes, who will be the next to fall victim of this Curse?

Will it be the always favorite Dead Pool candidate, Wilfred Brimley (TS, do you have your money on this one??) or will it be a dark horse such as the supposedly recovering Michael Douglas? Maybe a rehab long shot like Lindsay Lohan? The field is wide open. Hollywood. Sports Stars. Politicians.

So put your thinking caps on and enter your two votes in the comments. Somebody has to be right, right? Bonus points for guessing the method of death. Triple points for guessing the date.

I'm going with Sarah Palin, she will choke to death on her own foot. Curiously, no one around her at the time will know the Heimlich maneuver. However someone at the book signing will attempt a tracheotomy using the pen she was signing a book with. Fail.

And I'll also go with ex-president Jimmy Carter, again a choking victim...peanuts, what else. He will attempt to get the nut down by guzzling his collector's can of Billy Beer, but alas, that just makes matters worse. The combination of the two results in fatal anaphylaxis. Now the Republicans will again have the majority of ex-presidents by a 2-1 margin.

I look forward to seeing your selections.
