Dead Or Alive

This is for all non-EC or peripheral-EC topics. We all know how much we love talking about 'The Man' but sometimes we have other interests.

Dead Or Alive

Post by BlueChair »

Thought I'd introduce a bit of a game here...

Basically, you have to mention someone who you think people won't know if they are dead or they are alive. No cheating :D

I'll start with FATS DOMINO.. dead or alive?

That is sadly correct.

The man who had the famous line... "Oh no, he's not dead... not dead yet" and seemed oh so old even in the days of Star Wars has indeed passed.

Someone else pick one.

Lamont is still alive. In fact, he's a minister these days. Sadly, most of the rest of the cast of Sanford & Son is now deceased.

I'm pretty sure Dr. John is still alive and playing.

Re: Yvonee De Carlo -- I'd guess dead, but I'm not sure. Is it cheating to consult the IMDB?
