Got my first hit on the celebrity death pool

Yes I know that I'm going to hell. I popped my cherry on this year's celebrity death pool with Ernest Gallo. I had him for a few years thinking that he might succumb to a liver disease or something of that nature due to his love of wine.

A bunch of my friends think it's morbid. I concur. But why is death such a taboo subject? We're all gonna die. Just like Bill Shatner spoke in his song You'll Have Time.

Our time on earth is limited. Do I hope people die? No, however I guess-timate which celeb is the most likely to die during the calendar year. I don't wish death upon anyone. But I know that some celebs are more prone to being living-impaired than others. Compare Kathie Lee Gifford to a Scott Weiland. Who is going to die first? The clean-living Bible Thumper or the former heroin addict who has had numerous relapses?

Maybe my father's sudden death when I was 23 years old has made me aloof on the subject. Or maybe I'm just able to see it objectively as a part of life.

When I discovered my dad's body and smelled his flesh cooking, I knew right then & there that he was dead. I was alone and didn't freak out. I simply called 911 and said that my dad was electrocuted. He was caught up on a band saw and I told them that I was shutting off the power to make sure there wasn't a second body for them to come pick up.

Fact: We are all going to die. Some more peacefully than others. I just hope that I don't suffer when it's my time and on with the body count so I win this year's pool.

Enough Anna Nicole Smith & Britney Spears CNN

I cannot stand seeing all the bullshit from CNN about the numerous appeals and the rumours as to who fathered her new baby. Was it the lawyer? Was is Zsa Zsa's husband? WHO THE FUCK CARES!?!

Britney shaved her melon & looks like Sinead O'Connor. Big fuckin deal.

This is what passes as news now?

You know what was news before that? Barbaro being euthanized, some Miss USA tart, Terry Schivo.

I blame the slow white bronco. And I don't mean John Elway. Fuckin OJ Simpson. He started all of this bullshit journalism.

Speaking of which, now the Juice says that he hoped that they don't do a DNA test on Anna Nicole Smith, because the kid might be his & then Fred Goldman will go after her estate in order to get back at Orenthal.
Here's the article:

If this guy isn't pure evil I don't know who is.

Pittsburgh Penguins

When will this team leave the Burgh? The people who run the city give 2 shits about the hockey team.

I think that Mario Lemieux should tell city officials Fuck Off

He should make the deal in Kansas City now & take his team out of Pittsburgh at season's end because they've been fucking him around for far too long. They built new spots for the Steelers & Pirates. Who the hell goes to Pirates games. They should probably re-name the baseball team the Ass-Pirates, but that's for another post.

He should also come out of retirement just before the playoffs. I think that a broken down 41 year old Mario could still contribute positively to the team. Even if he can't play in back to back games. It would take a ton of pressure off Sidney Crosby too. I think that #66 today at 50% of his former self, would still be better than some of the stiffs on the Pens roster. I know that I'm dreaming but imagine that this happens & they win the Cup? That would be the ultimate Fuck You to the city officials.

Ryan Smyth, what a pussbag

He lost his teeth due to a puck in the mouth and came back later to assist on the winner in last year's playoffs. Now I see him crying big fucking crocodile tears cuz he's leaving Edmonton. What a joke! This guy was the MAN & now he's on the same level as that horse face Nancy Kerrigan crying "WHY?!? WHY!?!"

It has taken my until now to calm down enough to write about this because I am a huge Oilers fan and I love the way that Smyth plays. He's off to the Fucking ISLAND!!! What is he hoping for? A 15 year contract like DiPietro?

This guy was the franchise for the past number of years & especially last year during the Cup run. Who's to blame for him leaving? I gotta say it's Ryan Smyth. If he really wanted to stay in Edmonton, he should have signed the deal that Kevin Lowe offered him. Maybe Kevin should have sweetened the deal & thrown in free ice cream from his family's dairy (if it's still up and running).

This guy is gonna looooooove playing with Yashin who only shows up when he wants to. Edmonton never wanted to give #94 up but Lowe was gonna get fucked at the end of the year when he becomes a free agent and decides to test the market. What team wouldn't jump at the chance for a player of his ilk?

I'm still pissed, however I knew that the Oil didn't have another miracle run in them for this year's playoffs but this move has basically told me they've given up.

And the worst part of all of this is it happens on the day that they retire Messier's #11. Another great homegrown leader.

I hope that he re-signs come July 1st with Edmonton but I don't see that happening.
