CASKETS ON PARADE

by casketsonparade.org

Caskets On Parade is the name of our little Dead Pool-type contest. The object of the game is to identify (up to) 75 notable individuals who will die during the contest year. Points are awarded for the age and uniqueness of selection of individual Victims of the Grim Reaper.

The contest runs annually (we missed 1986-1987 & 1997-99). Since 1978 our entrants have been making their lists, checking them twice, hopin' to find out who's been sickly, or foolish, or just plain unlucky.

Unlike many of the other contests that you run across on the internet, we accept a fairly large list of potential Victims of the Grim Reaper (75). Our contest also is scored in four different categories - Total Points Scored, Total Kills Scored, Solo Kills Scored and Quality of Kills. We also offer several other "honorary" awards to entrants who: give a Good Rookie Performance; have a consistently "harmless" list of victims; and fail to notice the most obvious of prior deaths.

Like most of the other contests, ours runs for the (Gregorian) calendar year - January 1st through December 31st. For ease of notation we use mnemonic identifiers in most of our listings to identify contest entrants.

During January we compile the accepted entries and post all of the Victims and their selectors in this website. On a regular basis an Update of Standings is published / updated in the relevant contest year subsite; we've finally gotten out of the printing & mailing business.

Entry submission takes place in the week before New Year's Day. The 2003 Contest is now under way.

It is never too early to be conducting research for an upcoming contest (that is why we maintain the Book of the Dead research database). Check back here around December 1st, 2003 for the 2004 Contest Rules and Entry Information.


Shoestring, by Michale Graves, copyright 2002, Vile of Venom Music

Calling planet anywhere,
I think I'll crash the ship again.
I try to gain control of the controls,
I'm losing.
Falling through this space again.
The sea water's deep and swollen.
Try to gain control of the controls.
I'm losing control.
Fell down too,
and broke my face.
They grew
funeral flowers in a vase;
lines of caskets on parade.
Help I'm Calling From an Island
Called Despair
Calling Planet Anywhere
I think I have Crashed Landed or Something
Right in the
Buildings.
I try to gain control of the control.
I'm losing control.
Condition worse then yesterday.
The same ol' seat at the parade.
Try to gain control of the controls...
I'm losing control
I'm falling through this space again.
The missions over: mission failure!
Try! to gain control of the control...
