How's it gonna be...
For a couple years now, my buddy Bob, of Voices In My Brain, has been conducting an annual Celebrity Death Watch on his blog. This year, I'm going to follow in his footsteps and, even though we're a week in to the new year, post my own Celebrity Death Watch.
For the record, Katie and I worked together on this and we're going to do it a little differently than Bob who picks his list of people that are obvious choices to die and then a list of people who are more long shots. We're going to post only a list of longshots, and how we expect them to die.
- Tim Tebow - an "Act of God"... 'nuff said
- Jimmy Carter - late-onset peanut allergy
- Angelina Jolie - stampede of African orphans wanting to be adopted
- David Caruso - prisoners bearing shivs made out of arms of sunglasses
- O.J. Simpson - cellmate will make the glove fit
- Mark Zuckerberg - his Timeline will run out
- Hugh Hefner - NBC boiled his bunnies
- Donald Trump - his hairpiece comes to life like the Jello mold in Better Off Dead and smothers him
- Newt Gingrich - the Alien Queen finally gets her Newt
- The mouse population of Geneva, IL - Oh wait, I already did that! Nabbed two of the little bastages this morning!
Okay, sorry, this was kinda stupid. Just having a little fun.
Do you remember a couple weeks ago when I mentioned the game show Chain Reaction on GSN?
While describing the format of the game, I came up with an example that highlighted a chain that used the words INNER --> SPACE --> SUIT --> CASE --> WESTERN (the University) --> CULTURE --> CLUB.
Funny thing is that we watched an episode during that marathon that actually used WESTERN --> CULTURE --> CLUB. Damn I'm good.
I swear I did not see that episode before coming up with that example. It just came to me. Honestly.
THANK YOU for this. I am (unintentionally) sleep deprived and having a rough day. I very much needed this laugh!

I'm suddenly very happy I did post this when I nearly didn't. You're very welcome! Hope things pick up.

Well played and welcome to the club! In terms of Celebrity Death Watches, there are no lame or stupid lists, especially when they are the long shot guesses and ESPECIALLY with good modes of death presented. I commend you. Just a warning, it is a weird and sick sense of satisfaction you will receive if any of these actually come true.

I really am hoping for something more than just the mice.
