Just throwing out ideas but on another board they have a death pool going.
Everybody gets 5 entries.
Scoring is as follows If one of your entries dies at the age of 65 you subtract that from 100 to get your score so in that example you would have 35 points.
That way you get more points for picking younger people that are less likely to die instead of just pulling your names off the Hollywood Assisted Living Facility roster.
Just a thought.

I'm for it.
If I "off" said celeb, do I lose any points?
Just kidding. Maybe.

Solid pick, I'm surprised he hasn't killed himself doing a stupid stunt yet! Have you ever seen Nitro Circus on MTV?

You get a chance check out nitro circus, they do some insane shit on that show. He just jumped out of a plane without a parachute. Another skydiver hooked up to him after a while, but still, fucking insane.

Haven't watched MTV in about 6 years.
The fact that the Real World is still going strong kinda says it all.
However, I might check out Nitro Circus. The chance to see some fool kill himself is a bit intriguing.

The chance to see some fool kill himself is a bit intriguing. He also jumped a BMX bike of a cliff of the Grand Canyon, did a few flips, and opened his parachute, however it was too late and he ended up crashing into another cliff about a hundred feet down. Fucked up his knee good and they could only get to him by helicopter.

Alright, I like (1) Swayze, (2) Jeremy Mayfield, (3) either of Charles Weiss, Joe Pa or that landwhale who coaches at KU, (4) Winehouse and (5) Mick Jagger.
For extra points, causes of death will be (1) cancer, (2) meth induced suicide by cop, (3) gripper, (4) overdose and (5) old age.

So Iafan is officially gone then? At least as "Iowafan". He can come back as something else more mellow as he wasn't banned... just turned off.

What's the difference between banned and turned off?

Turned off = He has the ability to reincarnate himself* as a less douchey personna, preferrably one that isn't always looking for a fight in no-where-near-fight-related threads.
Banned = A person that has no ability to do so - unless they change IP numbers.
* -Working very much in line with the high negative digits in karma he had received. This way he'd start out at a harmonic "0".
