  • The 2014 list-building has begun. May the odds be ever in my favor.
  • HOLY CRAP, WE MISSED HAROLD CAMPING. He died earlier this month. That's another 8 points for Jason.
  • I will build a list this year too. Look out for it tomorrow or on the 1st. I will win.
  • At my parents house over the holiday the 1951 Scrooge was on TV. Realized that Patrick Macnee is still alive. 91 years old. Maybe someone to put on your list for the near future?
  • LUKE, COME TO THE DARK SIDE.

    But seriously, I'm having trouble finding satisfying entries this year. It's not good enough to get points, I also want my picks to be clever. It's starting to feel like bullshit having Fidel Castro on there every year for the past four.
  • Michael Schumacher is killing me right now.
  • I don't dare put him on the list for 2014. I want him to live. He can't die like this.
  • I am not sure what you want plays into this list so much. If what I wanted mattered Dom DeLuise would be immortal.

    Isn't there a rule for not having the sme person on more than two years in a row?


  • Here's my list. 20 names is correct, right?

  • Ariel Sharon, 15 points.
  • Am I the only one who finds the fact that you guys are keeping a death list disturbing?
  • Only if you think we're causing the deaths. Herp.
  • True Fact: Jason unknowingly writes his list in the Death Note.
  • I bear ill will toward none except Time Warner Cable.
  • True Fact: Jason unknowingly writes his list in the Death Note.

    I am guessing that means 20% of the people on his lists use pseudonyms.

    Lots of entertainers do. I do.
  • NOOOOO THE PROFESSOR. Now they'll never get off the island.
