Gerald Ford, James Brown, Who's Next?


Those famous deaths come in 3's, so who is next? And who is the official Contractor Talk bookie I'd like to bet on Carter.

I kid around about death bets all the time, just scared to place one.

Tough to say.

Maybe Dick Van Dyke?

I say Ford was the third in the series. Brown was second, and Peter Boyle was first.

No way! Jimmy will hold on for at least two more years just so he doesn't have Dubya be the one to give the eulogy.

I thought Larry Hagman was dead, I did a google search and he's alive and kicking, well not kicking. Good guess though.

" "To all my concerned fans ? thank you for your many emails regarding my health. Two weeks ago I was rear-ended in an automobile accident and suffered some back injury and a subdural hematoma, which caused me to black out. It is now in the process of dissolving, everything seems to be under control and I am fine. Thanks for your emails."

I wasn't trying to start a wishful thinking or political debate, I just chose Carter cause I saw recent footage and he didn't look so good, I try to avoid wishing or hoping people dead, although there are a few.

Ya know , there is an actual website where you can place predictions on wich celebrities you think will die in the current calendar year. You must pick 10 and pay a fee for ea pick. At the end of the year the list with the most accurate picks wins the cash jackpot. Pretty morbid I know but somebody's makin' big bucks with this site.

I wasn't aware that you know him personally...knowing your politics and his, i doubt you belong to the same social circles. I better start my final preperations, because I can only have one conclusion about how you feel about me!

First of all I don't know him personally, I only know by his words and his actions in both the political world and the private world that he only cares for the ultra rich and privileged, and we are in the bad position in this world because of him and people who think like him...
