[nikimcbee]

Bring out your dead!

.25 Pick 5 people.
.5 Starts Jan 1, 2014
1. The year ends on December 31, 2015.

2. All picks must have some element of celebrity, fame or political relevance so that an announcement will be mentioned in some credible news source.

3. No pick may be currently under a state-mandated death sentence, nor may their celebrity or fame be based solely on their moribund state or terminal illness. When someone croaks, post it with proof.
No Duplicate picks please, first one to post a pick gets credit for it.:know:

Do you want to actually edit the content of post #1 to reflect the correct year, or just hope nobody else notices your copy/pasta effort? :hmmm:

I'll be back with mine shortly when I've found the old thread.

I'd wager it is a false alarm. Having lived in Miami for ten years and rescued thousands of Cuban refugees. If this were more than a rumor there would have been fireworks and dancing on Calle Ocho in Little Havanah. They got a direct line to relatives in Cuba.

So who is the front runner for this year?

[Aktungbby]

Reinhard Hardigan would be suitable replacement. At 102 he's still goin' strong and I've not heard to the contrary. I wouldn't wish it by any means as he's one of my favorite skippers; but he's way up there. http://i.dailymail.co.uk/i/pix/2012/09/06/article-2199218-14DEE6FD000005DC-420_306x423.jpg<at age 99!:salute:
