Bryn Wins the Death Pool

Well, it's over. 9 years later Bryn is the first to 13 and has won the death pool. We still have a hand full of drinks to finish off, two gifts for 12 and 9 deaths have yet to be given and Bryn can still hit me in the face with a footlong at any time without retribution. We have to make a visit to H W's final resting place. But formalities aside, it's all over. Congrats?

RIP George H W Bush

George Herbert Walker Bush (June 12, 1924 – November 30, 2018) was an American politician who served as the 41st President of the United States from 1989 to 1993. Prior to assuming the presidency, Bush served as the 43rd Vice President of the United States from 1981 to 1989. As a member of the Republican Party, he had previously been a U.S. Representative, Ambassador, and Director of Central Intelligence. During his career in public service, he was known simply as George Bush; after his eldest son George W. Bush became President of the United States in 2001, he was referred to as "George H. W. Bush", "Bush 41", or "George Bush Sr".

RIP John McCain

John Sidney McCain III (August 29, 1936 – August 25, 2018) was an American politician and military officer who served as a United States Senator from Arizona from 1987 until his death in 2018.

In the most contentious pick in NYE history, The Betty White Tumblers add I.M. Pei and drop Bob Barker. The original pick was to be Jake LaMotta, the Raging Bull. A video was made and everything, but alas Bryn did not accept. So I.M. Pei it is.
