They're both so awesome. That would be a huge loss.

I debated putting Biden on the list, not in any mean-spirited way, just in a "he ain't lookin' good" way.

Alondra wrote: "Barbara Eden 🥹

Added. I was looking at Grant's wiki page...a bit cryptic about her age but she's pushing triple digits.

I know her orignial diagnosis came out a while ago, but she seems to have gone way downhill fast.

Didn't they find her wandering around lost awhile back? I know nothing about the woman, but it is a sad situation.

That I don't know, I just remember a couple years ago she ended her show because of her diagnosis. I guess maybe it's longer than I remembered, just seems like yesterday.

What a twist, Hunter. You tried to add Joe and then pardoned him.

I've added actress Joan Plowright.

We need 1 more!

Antonio Brown; the CTE legend himself. He's nuts

So, here's the question. We've always limited this to 50 souls. That, of course is arbitrary. Should we take it to 100? We put up 50 names in 24 hours.
