It started early this year...Andy Rooney retired from 60 Minutes not long ago and just recently passed away at the age of 92. Now ex-heavyweight boxing champion Joe Frazier is thisclose to death from liver cancer. Whoever would have thought Ali would have lived longer than Joe?
But hey! You can still get in on the annual year end threesome famous person Dead Pool**! That name is waaaay too long.
I will start off the list with a few candidates. You get to add to the list through your comments. Ready?
1. Okay, I'll take Muhammad Ali for $200 Alex!
2. Wilfred Brinley - is any dead pool list complete without old Willie?
3. Abe Vigoda - another perennial top-five
Add some of your own in the comments and I will update the list as interest dictates.
You know you have someone on your mind for this. Those of you in the UK (sorry you mised out on Amy Winehouse) and the alternate UK (Canada) can play as well. Times a wastin' so get your thinking cap on and go to it!
If this round is completed before December first we will have a second round for the month of December. And clear your moral calendar...it is NOT like you are wishing it on them!
**For those unclear on this topic. The theory goes that celebrity deaths happen in threes. Usually they occur between November 1 and December 31st.

The only dead pool I like is the one with Clint Eastwood and Jim Carrey.
Sorry, can't think of anyone offhand. Vigoda always stuns me. And he's looked that way forever.
I like the new look!
Wow! I thought Abe Vigoda died years ago.
Hey Chuck, what's the story on your new header? It's AMAZING looking...
Copyboy: So you say you are morally opposed to making light of this or you just don't care?? I'm confused :)
Alex: I believe 9 out of 10 people who know who Abe is would believe he was dead. Maybe just his career, huh? Thanks on the new look.
Pat: A common misconception...year after year. Joe Frazier died this morning. I remember watching all the Ali/Frazier fights. Classics.
New header is a shot of three intertwined forks that I tweaked a little in paint.net. I'll share the original on the sidebar. Thanks Pat! Wish I was doing all the traveling you've done this year.
I didn't know that Rooney died. That's so sad.
Abe Vigoda will never die. And alternative UK? Hey!
He lived a full life Clarissa and wasted none of it on a boring retirement. He worked almost up til the end.
Captain, you know I did that just for you, right? I would have been disappointed if you had not read it or made that comment.
