Steve Landesberg Dies

2010-12-21T07:26:00.000-05:00

Remember Dietrich from Barney Miller? He played the intellectual oddball on Barney Miller. He's dead. He sat next to Abe Vigoda, who is still not dead. And I believe Ron Glass, the black cop on the show, who happens to be on my list, is not dead yet either.
As the year winds down I pray for a cholera epidemic in Beverly Hills.
Steve was a funny stand-up comic who started out at Pip's in Brooklyn.
That is all.

A Happy Mid Year Recap

I am happy to report that we have surpassed last years hit total (8) by August of this year (11), so things are looking great! Brave Richard has not tasted any blood yet, but he does have Paul Sorvino on his list, and that guy’s never really looked healthy ever, and he’s 70. And SWMDP fans, there’s been plenty of missed opportunities, so maybe it’s time to start musing over your lists and join our game in 2010!

Ed McMahon Not Dead Yet - Happy Birthday

2009-03-08T12:45:00.002-04:00

Ed McMahon died today in his hospital bed just after blowing out his birthday candles. Ed McMahon was 86 years old today. His time of death was not recorded by the Los Angeles Coroner's office, because Mr. McMahon is in fact not dead.

While members of the Q wait anxiously for Ed to enter the Pearly Gates, Mr. McMahon refuses to call it quits. M has her hopes that Johnny Carson's sidekick will kick off before midnight March 7th. BM is banking on Friday the 13th and C is going long for the whimsical April Fool's day. BD is being his usual jerk-self and gaming the whole thing. If Ed McMahon dies at any time after April 1st, the jerk wins. Pretty clever.

The winner of the Dead McMahon will recieve a very large check, delivered by a van with film crew.

Street pitchman Joe Ades passed away. What a great salesman! I almost bought one of those carrot peelers from him downtown last year. It was like watching Laurence Olivier " A carrot, a carrot, my kingdom for a carrot!"

Read his obit here ...

His Stage, the Street; His Rapier, a Peeler - NYTimes.com

"You ask What is life? That is the same as asking, What is a carrot; A carrot is a carrot and we know nothing more." Chekhov

"The day is coming when a single carrot freshly observed will set off a revolution." Cezanne

"The man in the moon drinks claret,
But he is a dull Jack-a-dandy;
Would he know a sheep's head from a Carrot
He should learn to drink cider and brandy."

Finally, what the hell is wrong with Carrot Top? I'm scared!

Mark Felt No Longer Feeling Anything

2008-12-20T10:19:00.002-05:00

His body now matches the past tensieness of his name. 105 points to Brian D.

Brian gets another 108 for Van Johnson

2008-12-13T18:14:00.002-05:00

Before somebody whose name begins with "Mari" whines about who Van Johnson is, here ya go...

2008-12-13T18:05:00.005-05:00

Brian M you had Marilyn Chambers but not Bettie Page. Getting the right industry=No Points... Damn, Shoes Was I Talking About?.... I mean WHAT was I talking about (snivel).

Paul Newman - Somebody Up There Loves You

2008-09-27T10:54:00.001-04:00

Paul Newman died Friday. He was a great actor and humanitarian and a very cool guy. I guess that's why none of us bet on him.

The man gave away over $200 million dollars to charities. He was on Nixon's "enemies list."

Paul Newman quote:

"You can't be as old as I am without waking up with a surprised look on your face every morning: 'Holy Christ, whaddya know - I'm still around!' It's absolutely amazing that I survived all the booze and smoking and the cars and the career."

Dick & The Great Kazoo

2008-05-30T11:03:00.001-04:00

This week Harvey Korman and Dick Martin achieved new career milestones by being announced dead.
Who's going to laugh at Tim Conway now?
Sock it to me.

Ted is not dead

2008-05-23T21:25:00.001-04:00

Rumor of a tumor. Chanca cancah, er ahh.

James Garner in cue

2008-05-14T09:32:00.001-04:00

See you next year Jim. Rockford Files star is recovering from a stroke. Or is he?

Oops I did it.....AGAIN!!!

2008-05-08T17:37:00.002-04:00

Eddy Arnold, 111 points and a feather for my cap.

Here is is backed into a corner just prior to dying.

Can we have his gun now? Charlton Heston, dead.

2008-04-06T09:06:00.001-04:00

Ape hater Charlton Heston has flown his chariot to see White Jesus in White Heaven. All he left behind was his oscar winning toupee.

Charlton Heston has finally pleased the Lord.

2008-04-06T00:21:00.000-04:00

Bye Bye

Harmful Rays

2008-03-25T08:04:00.001-04:00

Geesh, that lady got whacked by an eagle ray. Buzzing along the ocean and suddenly - bam - you and the fish are dead.
Reminds me of Leon Resnick who was testing out a water-ski on a lake in south Florida a few years ago. Bam. He and a duck slam into each other at over 60 mph.
Also this week a construction crane killed 7 people.
You never know. Could be cancer, but it could be a bird, a fish or a crane that kills you.
But no big hits on the DeathWatch recently. Arthur C. Clark, that's about it.
Oh, and our new govenor just admitted to using pot and cocaine. And banging broads while he was married. Maybe he should shut up and get to work before he admits he screws farm animals.

Arthur C. Clarke

2008-03-19T19:52:00.001-04:00

Arthur C. Clarke is dead, as predicted. The futurist would have been worth 110 points.
Sitting in the car at LaGuardia, waiting for Michael. He's home for Spring Break.
I just was thinking, if 2000 years ago, you had local looney Jesus in your death pool, he'd have been worth 167 points. But only for three days. I hope none of my picks comes back from the dead.

Wyatt, we are rolling...

2008-03-12T21:00:00.002-04:00

Many, many old celebs have died recently but nothing juicy. Not Amy Winehouse, not Fidel Castro, it's been squat. After I download the program for Kung-Fu, I'll publish the lists that we're playing. So, uh, thanks.

Spitzer is Dead

2008-03-10T19:58:00.000-04:00

Should we include career suicide in next year's death pool? Elliot Spitzer's career is the big death this year. Number 9, Number 9?

this bar is dead.

2008-03-06T20:31:00.001-05:00

South Bend Indianna. Karaoke, fat people, bikers and smokers.

Is Billy Dead?

2008-03-06T08:00:00.003-05:00

Does anyone know if Billy is dead? His coffee tastes like it.

Conservative author Buckley dies at 82 - Yahoo! News

2008-02-27T19:47:00.001-05:00

A "pointless" loss of life for the Shirley Winters Memorial Death Pool. William F. Buckley died today. Buckley, a famous for inventing streaking back in the 1970's, will be missed.

A regular on stage at the Grand Ol Oprey and an avid Nascar fan, Buckley endeared himself to the working class with his down home style.

Buckley is widely believed to be the second gunman on the grassy knoll.

Jaws of Death

2008-02-11T09:14:00.002-05:00

Roy Scheider, now ducking the land shark. Madame M rings in 125 points. Well done.

from BD--
Early autopsy report says no license plates or fish heads were found in his alimentary canal. I hope the same can be said for me after dinner with the McG's, but they've always been the conniving type. So to all the S-WMD fans out there, keep an eye on these guys...

Allan Melvin

2008-01-22T19:42:00.001-05:00

Sam the Butcher is dead meat.

from BD
Is that a bow tie?? Why doesn't he get with the times?? And what's with the black and white photo?

Heath Ledger

2008-01-22T19:39:00.000-05:00

Dead at age 28.

I Love the Smell of Having Suzanne Pleshette on my List

2008-01-20T11:14:00.000-05:00

It Smells Like...a Hundred and Thirty Points!

2008-01-18T21:25:00.000-05:00

Lady Bird Johnson is Dead

2007-07-11T21:05:00.001-04:00

But ZERO points.

Make my misery serve thy turn...almost

2007-05-02T23:19:00.000-04:00

Almost...spectacular that Tom Poston appears in the set up frame of the Kitty Carlisle video below as a tribute to her...then he dies himself less than two weeks later. List worthy, but not listed. Shame on us. Can anyone say Tommy Newsome? Didn't think so.
