Well, here we go again [Edited: and again].
By the numbers, this is what we have.
10 11 participants.
65 69 worm bait candidates. Etta James the most popular, being on 6 7 participant lists. Zsa Zsa Gabor is on 5 6. Kirk Douglas is on 5, Robin Gibb on 4 5, Ronnie Biggs is on 4.
44 48 names are unique to one individual. Nola and Beeb have completely unique lists.
I believe a TNMC first... Nola, perhaps celebrating his 2011 with a tweek of everyone else's nose, has spotted us one stiff. Lena Horne died in 2010, so unless her career rebounds and dies, its unlikely we will hear from her again in 2012 (I tried to warn you Nola).
So here we go, the usual disclaimer applies... check your list against what I have for you, and good luck to everyone here... not so much to the targets of our concern.

Well got dammit. The list I was working off had her as still alive. Of course it was the same list that had John Forsythe alive and that is who I thought you were talking about initially. And to think I left Harvey Korman off in favor of Ms. Horne!
Oh well. Game on. I will spot you one.

There was a story doing the rounds on Twitter last night that Castro had croaked. Including a cool pic of him supposedly in his casket. For a moment there I thought Joe and Diana had got off to an early start!

Something of the opposite of the old SNL joke "Generalissimo Francisco Franco is still dead"... Fidel Castro is still not dead.

There's more than one way to be released from a hospital, you know.

As Coroner I must aver, I thoroughly examined her. And she's not only merely dead, she's really most sincerely dead.

I may have to consider forgiving her for not responding to my text messages.

For those of you who have a weird sense of humor such as Jake and myself... Uncle Dow has passed.

The good news is that she's also been suffering from dementia, so she probably doesn't even realize that she's dead.

Frankly, if my name was so similar to a Greek letter, I would have given up the will to live long ago.
