[Fred Nerk]

Chuck Berry
Angus T. Jones (The obnoxious little sh!t who plays the obnoxious little sh!t in 'Two and a Half Men', born 1993)

Bart Cummings
Tom Graveney

[lardbucket]

Yevgeney Kalfelnikov
Angelina Jolie
Prince Harry
Bob Hawke
Slash
Sebastien Vettel

[lardbucket]

(I've left Phil the Greek for someone else; Sarah Palin too. They're probably both too obnoxious to die anyway)

[Fred Nerk]

By that logic surely 'Spud' Kafelnikov is too boring to die?

[lardbucket]

You may be right. I may have handicapped my list by choosing someone in whom the certification of death may be difficult, given that it will represent such a minor transition.

IIRC, when Calvin Coolidge died, an unkind observer asked 'how could they tell?'

[lardbucket]

There you go. Apparently* it was Dorothy Parker.

(no need to reach for the glossary)

[skully]

Yevgeney Kalfelnikov
Angelina Jolie
Prince Harry
Bob Hawke
Slash
Sebastien Vettel

Noice.

[Nath]

I'm gonna try:

LiLo
Neil Harvey
'Superstar' Billy Graham (the wrestler)
Leif Garrett
Betty White
Shigeru Miyamoto

[Bradman]

Ronnie Biggs (Great Train Robber)
Kim Jong-il (North Korean Scumbag)
John Edrich (Former Test Cricketer)
Billy Graham (Will he take a closer step to god?)
Yitzhak Shamir (As Sharon in-stasis is taken)
Mary-Kate Olsen (She had the temerity to survive a year on qmy's list)

The New Years Eve parties should see her done and dusted. Unfortunately it'll be post deadline (no that wasn't a pun).

[Zat]

Someone had to take her qmy.

And skulls will have to take care when totting up the scores:

Billy Graham (Will he take a closer step to god?)

'Superstar' Billy Graham (the wrestler)

Don't confuse your Grahams.

[skully]

Yeah, I did a quick double take, but clearly Nath's "sportsman" is different to your evangelist.

[Bradman]

OK! Got it.

Lindsay Lohan (under thirty actress)
Fidel Castro (Revolutionary and seppo weeping wound)
Betty Ford (Gerry;'s widow)
B.B King (Blues man)
Andy Griffith (TV, recording artist)
Robert Mugabe (say no more)

[Zat]

They both sucked people in by the millions with their fakery but.

[skully]

Your sis-in-law is a WWF groupie? Whodathunkit.

[skully]

Lift yer game, qmy. I knew who LiLo was.

[WideWally]

I hope this doesn't happen before (or during) the Bluesfest at Byron Bay over the Easter weekend. I was thinking of going to that. Last I heard BB is performing there along with Bob Dylan, CW Stoneking, Washington, Elvis & many others.

Calv, Ronnie Reagan and which other 20thC POTUS had alliterative initials?

[Zat]

Herbert Hoover.

Unfortch Hubert Horatio Humphrey never made it to the top job.

[Fred Nerk]

OK, there were four....was Bert any relation to the unspeakable J. Edgar?

[skully]

Including my idiot sister-in-law. PMSL.

Your sis-in-law is a WWF groupie? Whodathunkit.

Nah, a stoopid born-again. And has been trying for 30 years to get me to see the light.
