Well, this latest podcast certainly gave me quite a chuckle. I’m glad some of my favorite celebrities weren’t on either list, and have to agree with both of you on some or your choices, especially Billy Graham and Olivia de Havilland. I recently saw Ed McMahon on an episode of the Dog Whisperer and he looked great (as did his wife and dog).

I’m glad you chuckled about us planning the impending deaths of several people!
Oh, for the love of God – Ed McMahon is doing great on the “Dog Whisperer”. Great! 
Thanks for listening and chuckling!

Thanks, Peterson. Aren’t you glad you weren’t on my list?

Well, I was a little disappointed to not be on your list, but since I am a vegan and my life is mildly stable, sadly you are stuck with me for quite some time. Now Marvin on the other hand…

Peterson, you’re probably the only person who would be disappointed not to be selected to be on the list. This is most certainly due to your whoring after fame and notoriety. Just saying…

Of your top 5, you got 3. That not bad, considering the year ain’t over yet.

Yeah, but that’s my friend’s list. She always wins – every year!
Thanks for stopping by and checking things out!
