Summary
This document appears to be a page from a manuscript or article describing the culture of 'dead pools' (betting on celebrity deaths). It contrasts commercial pools (referencing Howard Stern) with a specific group called 'The Game,' where professionals play under macabre aliases for bragging rights rather than money. The page includes quotes from players explaining their motivations and comparing the hobby to scientific data analysis. The document bears a footer indicating it is part of a House Oversight Committee production (HOUSE_OVERSIGHT_015276).

of our culture."
As with dead pools, ranging from business offices to Howard
Stern' s radio show, that book is a guide to profiting from money bets.
But members of The Game play solely for the fun of it. Whoever has the
most points at the end of the year wins-- "bragging rights only" —slightly
ironic since Gamesters (lawyers, ad people, educators, psychology
professors, writers, everyday working folks) all play under aliases like
Frozen Stiff, Fade to Black, Worm Feast, Decomposers, 2 Dead Crew,
Johnny B. Dead, Wm. Randolph Hearse, Daisy Pusher, Silk Shroud,
Necrophiliac Pimp, Legion of Doom, Gang Green, Habeas Corpse, Die-
Uretic, Shovelin' Off, Blunt Instrument, Rig R. Mortis, Flatliners,
Unplugged, Toe Tag, Clean Underwear and Gratefully Dead.

Another player told me, "I compare playing The Game to my day

hunches. Our reward is not financial, but peer recognition. One selects
some names to acknowledge the person. Other names are selected
because earning you points is their last opportunity to do something
