Pretty inconsiderate, probably ruined someone's day.

I have Adam West on my list. Sad day: I met him once a a kid and he was an extraordinarily nice guy.

So I just checked the news and my preferred online medias site has its first 8 articles about Helmut Kohl dying. Here's a link on CNN: Former German Chancellor Helmut Kohl dies

The first thing I though was "I finally got points in the Celebrity Death Pool!"

He was 87, so that's 23 points, right?

RIP Flounder

PyramidScheme posts in this space in 3... 2... 1...

Nice job.

RIP Prodigy of Mobb Deep

Hopefully we can get some updated standings sometime around Labor Day.

And add Chuck Blazer to the list from a few days ago:

(He's point for, um, me.)

We need a score update. Before Labor Day, preferably.

SUB?

i'll reiterate my suggestion that punctually take over official scoring duties.

RIP Chester Bennington, another great musician, another apparent suicide. These rock guys gotta stop doing this. http://www.cnn.com/2017/07/20/entert...ead/index.html

I concur.

I wish I had the commitment. But living in a youth hostel isn't conducive to a focused environment where I can actually get **** done.

Very well. I'll do my best.

I will go back and review the scores. Everyone in the pool should go back and review their list, too. I will do my best to keep up but a couple of folks put up some truly obscure people, and ultimately calling out your 'hits' is your responsibility, not mine.

I'll have more later -- I had a kid last week, how's that for timing? -- but here are some VERY preliminary scores. (Anyone unlisted currently has a score of zero.)

Was I given the 15 point bonus for Warmbier? I assume I would get that even though technically the North Korean government gives a health related cause?

One update: Tokyo has been shorted a 15-point bonus for having two on his list go on the same day (SUB was clear you get the bonus x2).

PyramidScheme: your score does (and did) include the 15-point bonus for non-natural causes.

The revised scores - which as far as I can tell are up to date - follow.

If you'd like to play the home game, I've uploaded the full Excel sheet with everyone's entries here for your viewing pleasure.

And goes now Glen Campbell gently into that good night.

The updated sheet is here for interested parties.

29 points for six players, and a joker hit for PyramidScheme and Howard Treesong.

With about five months left, we have a tie at the top of the leaderboard, and four players within a scant half-dozen points of the lead. Updates below, scoring players bolded.

Glen Campbell has died.

In honor of Glen two of his great and fitting songs:

I always liked Rhinestone Cowboy for some reason. Cheesy? Yes, sure, but the song has always moved me for some reason.

Light the lamp for Bryan Murray.
And ham on rye. And Louis Cyphre.

Looks like banned picked up some points with he passing of Jerry Lewis just now.

My 2nd hit this month! C'mon Chirac!
