Dead Pool 2010 - Harvey's Picks

Here they are, read 'em and weep.

1. Stephen Hawking
2. Annette Funicello
3. Steve Jobs
4. Billy Graham
5. Kim Jung il
6. Ariel Sharon
7. Kirk Douglas
8. Elizabeth Edwards
9. Amy Winehouse
10. Rush Limbaugh (wishful thinking)

Harvey


Jack's picks -

1. Pope Benedict XVI
2. Elizabeth II
3. George H. W. Bush
4. Nelson Mandela
5. Jacques Chirac
6. Robert Downey, Jr.
7. Hugh Hefner
8. Henry Kissinger
9. Tony Bennett
10. Mir Hussein Mousavi

Harvey and I have both been conservative and picked mainly dying hulks. Sharon and Hawking literaly. But his pick of Steven Jobs and mine of Robert Downey, Jr. are daring stabs at middle-aged people. I narrowly escaped making a fool of myself by picking Andy Warhol. Warhol died in 1987.

    Elizabeth II will outlive us all. Look how long her mother lived. As will geo.h.w.bush and amy winehouse. The bad never die young, or even old.
    Can a person be dreck? I thought that referred to stuff.
