I had Castro off my list four times, in his place I had Dick Clark, Ed McMahon, Hugo Chaves, and Farrah Fawcett. Then I thought no no this fuck Castro has got to be heading for hell in 09. (time will tell)

Barack Obama (I think someone will try to kill him) I think there will be some attempts over the next year, but I didn't include him on my list because I don't think any of them will be successful. Maybe 2010. |

Patrick Swayze seemed like a no-brainer seven or eight months ago, but now he seems to be doing fine! Anyone know what's up with him? I *hope* he keeps kicking ass for years to come, of course; but if he is gonna croak, I want to be in on the ground floor.

I can't believe no one picked my fellow Brooklynite Eli Wallach (not even Yours Turdly).

Wallach is alive and old, but is he sick?

Not the point. He's alive and old. Period.

Not the point. He's alive and old. Period. That's a rookie mistake. Thousands of people are alive and old, but you only get to pick ten and you only have a year. Abe Vigoda has been alive and old for decades. You've got to focus on the ones that have a little something extra, like cancer. |

But that's part of the fun playing the game! Pick someone who's NOT sick or old or neither. Eli's old, but not sick (although, I've met his wife, Anne Jackson, and based on that alone, I'd *wish* I was dead!). So I'd say he's still worth putting on someone's list.

I saw Jack Lalanne on someone's list. I thought about him, he is old as dirt, but I saw a TV interview with him not long ago and he looked fit as a fiddle. Maybe there is something to juicing carrots after all.

Very true -- I squeeze the juice out of my carrot daily.

Maybe there is something to juicing carrots after all. Tex, you seen him on my 08 (no hit) list. Last time I'd seen this dude was twenty years ago pulling two cars with ropes. Anyhoo, when making my 08 list I recalled he was getting checked out for prostate cancer. I thought oh oh in his nineties, possible cancer, prompted me to list him. Well needless to say the carrot juice is working and he is not on my 09 list. |
