This...Is Deathwatch: Resurrection.

Welcome to Deathwatch: Resurrection, your on-line home for the latest in bucket-kicking news.

In the Aughts, we got a group of friends together to place bets on when the famous and the infamous would shuffle off this mortal coil. After ten years of Mickey Rooney stubbornly refusing to die--five of which included the late, lamented Deathwatch Blog--we called it quits.

The Grim Reaper and Joe, however, missed the opportunity that our Deathwatch blog had given us to write kicky obituaries for notable corpses.

And now, we’re back! Since no money is being wagered upon these deaths, we don’t have to feel quite so guilt-ridden and can take greater pleasure in saying gently mocking goodbyes to those who’ve impacted American lives. (And occasionally taking a giant dump on dead people we hate. [Fred Phelps, we’re waiting for you!])

So please join us each week as we find the laughs in car wrecks and wring a chuckle out of massive coronaries. This is…Deathwatch: Resurrection.
