How Morbid are We?

With the passing of the late, great Charlton Heston, Hubby and I participated in our favorite pastime after the passing of a celebrity . . . trying to figure out who's next.

Following is a list of celebrities who we think may be the next to kick the bucket:

1. Kirk Douglas
2. Elizabeth Taylor
3. Mickey Rooney
4. Patrick Swayze
5. Maureen O'Hara
6. Julie Newmar
7. Ertha Kitt
8. Jack Klugman
9. Jerry Lewis

We came up with more, but I can't remember them all.

So, are we the only ones who do this? Who do you think should be on the list?

You sick demented lil bitty! I'm talking to LOWK. I do not think who is next, I think who should have already been gone. (Micky Rooney works for me). I think a better idea is to read the obits every day to make sure you are not listed....
Tell LOWK the US Marine Saber is from the Civil War, My brother in law had to trade a "Revolutionary War" British Calvary Officers Sword, from the Battle of Brandywine for it. (Gen Washington got his butt kicked there.)

Considering Lowk does it with me, I don't think you'll get too far. I read the obits, too, just to see if there's anyone I know.

Yes, I've come to terms with the fact that I'm sick and twisted.

We must ponder this further, I think we are going to need a coach. Do you find yourself reacting to Whom has died? I know at the end of the year, when they run those clips of who has passed away, I find myself going AWWWWWW at some of them, HAAAA at others, and non-plused at others. I'm curious about my own reaction. There all dead. Will I miss some more than others, when I really don't know any of them? Hmmmmmm?

PS I pick Mickey Rooney because he is already dead but has refused to lay down.

Aw... is Julie Newmar past thirty already?

Yep, I gotta say, I have never played this game. I think I might start now! :)

Patrick Swayze unfortunately, but Amy Winehouse would be my dark horse candidate.

Mystic - I think Mickey needs at least one more marriage under his belt before he'll accept the fact that he's a goner.

Teri - Not only is she past thirty, she's gone past it twice and is on her third leg. Don't get me wrong, though - she's still freaking gorgeous, in a wierd, demented sort of way.

Limpy - oooooh - never thought about Ms. Winehouse. We usually stay away from the young-uns, unless they have come out publicly admitting a deadly disease (ie - Swayze, sadly).

That’s a realistic list. Very realistic.

Well, we were completely wrong.

The shrink from Monk died. :-(

Too bad. I loved his character.
