quickly, an addendum to the death list:

Abe Vigoda:  I love the guy but times up.
Kirk Douglas: Yeah I dont actually like him.  Or his son.
Jimmy Carter:  The only viable president to be on this list for probably a few terms.  Though I dont really think he'll die, he might, and I cant pass up that chance.  I already dropped the ball with Anna Nicole ( ( Read more... )

Hi.  So every year I try to make a list of people I think will die in the coming year. Not that anyone cares.  Anyway so over the years I've picked a few, including Hunter S. Thompson, James Brown, and I think Gerald Ford.  Here:
