2011 Dead Pool Entries

by Pa Rock
Dead Pool Master


The entries are in for the 4th  Annual Pa Rock's Dead Pool.  Now the only task left is to sit back, sip on a long lemonade, and see who croaks during this calendar year.

Our Dead Pool garnered twenty-one entries this year, and, even though that is a pitiful showing, it is our best to date.  I expect this thing to really take off about the time everyone starts putting my name on their list!

Hugh Hefner and Charlie Sheen led the pack of candidates for a quick date with a toe-tag at seven votes each - a full one third of all entrants!  Lindsay Lohan finished a close second with six votes.   Clearly our players believe than none of those three should make any long-term commitments!

Amy Winehouse, a perennial favorite among our contestants, only managed to stir five votes this year.  The Winehouse brand is obviously fading!  Former President George H.W. Bush also pulled in five votes.  Evil Dick Cheney had four, and Ozzy Osbourne snagged a respectable three votes.

The British royal family have figured quite prominently in this contest during past years, but this time the royals only walked away with three votes - one each for the Queen, Prince Philip, and Prince Harry.  His Naziness, the Pope, scored two.

Men, who tend to have shorter lifespans than women anyway, accounted for162 of the 210 selections (with Chas Bono being tallied as a man), and, interestingly 13 of the 21 entrants were men.
