death race 200(8)

sitting on my couch, watching his drug-inspired "interview" with conan o'brien, sean and i came to the conclusion that artie lange will be dead very very soon.

this reminded me of my friend, whose office competes in a death list competition each year. how it works is like this:

• each person competing throws in an amount of money, like 10 or 20 bills.
• then, each person makes a list of the 10 people they feel don't stand a chance of surviving the next 12 months.
• points are awarded on a sliding scale - for instance, how many people select a certain person affects the number of points awarded if said person eats it (the more people that select a certain person, the less points awarded for death).
  
• a smaller number of points are awarded if selected people go to rehab (repeat offenders are worth less points. *note: britney spears is worth 0 points this year), or get in horrible car accidents, or have their penises cut off, etc.
• selected people can't already be on their death beds, or suffering from disease (like cancer, diabetes, rickets, etc.).
  
• at the end of twelve months, whoever has the most points wins all the money.

it's like a fucked up fantasy football league. so if anyone's interested in putting together a death list pool (even though it's already two months into '08), let's hang our hats on it.

here's my bracket:

1. artie lange
   
2. chris berman
   
3. katie holmes
   
4. dick cheney
   
5. pete sampras
6. amy winehouse
7. jimmy carter
   
8. dan rather
9. charo
10. jeff conaway
