Hit to Death in the Future Head

A new item on my Hipster To-Do list is to participate in a Dead [Death] Pool (not to be confused with the Dirty Harry film [1987] of the same name). For those of you unaware of this phenomenon, it's a simple game where you choose ten famous people who you think will die within the calendar year. Well, the calendar year is almost up, so I challenge the Paper Cat in a Death Pool. Here is one list of "contenders," if you need any help.

Holly thinks the following people will cuddle with Death after the Great Fuck of Life between September 11, 2005 and December 31, 2005:

1. John Paul Stevens, 85, associate justice, Supreme Court
2. Gloria Stuart, 95, actress (Titanic)
3. George Steinbrenner, 75, businessman, owner of the New York Yankees
4. Elizabeth Taylor, 73, actress (Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf?)
5. Leif Garrett, 43, singer and actor
6. Ray Stevens, 66, comedy singer ("The Streak")
7. Courtney Love, 41, actress and musician, frontwoman of the band Hole
8. Richard Carpenter, 58, musician, pianist and songwriter in The Carpenters
9. Fred Durst, 34, entrepreneur, leader of the band Limp Bizkit
10. Joanie Laurer, 35, professional wrestler
