Funny, I always coined November as “the season of death”. The beginning of every winter kicks it into full force after that. Personally I have been witnessed to a few more deaths in my world these past couple months. Everything from pancreatic cancer to self-hanging, to unknown.  Live on, peeps.

Here’s Doug Stanhope’s ‘Celebrity Death Pool’ for u morbid fux:

https://www.dougstanhopescelebritydeathpool.com/

The point system works like this:

“…25 Points: The Kurt Cobain

Celebrity dies from Suicide.

25 Points: The Whitney Houston

A black Celebrity dies during Black History Month (February).

25 Points: The Bette Davis

Celebrity dies from breast cancer during Breast Cancer Awareness Month (October)….(etc.)”

You may have already guessed this, but I don’t play.

I can’t believe this actually exists. A little fucked up. Wow.

That’s what I thought when I first saw Doug Stanhope. Amazingly necessary.
