Round 36: they’re dying for some dick


The elegantly named 16920502 took Round 35 with Phyllis Diller. Who, we all agreed, was a grand old gal and a sad loss to humanity. But, hey, she was 95, it’s the Dead Pool and a dick is a dick.

Now brace yourselves; here we go…!

0. Rule Zero (AKA Steve’s Rule): your pick has to be living when picked. Also, nobody whose execution date is circled on the calendar. Also, please don’t kill anybody.

1. Pick a celebrity. Any celebrity — though I reserve the right to nix picks I never heard of (I don’t generally follow the Dead Pool threads carefully, so if you’re unsure of your pick, call it to my attention).

2. We start from scratch every time. No matter who you had last time, or who you may have called between rounds, you have to turn up on this very thread and stake your claim.

3. Poaching and other dirty tricks positively encouraged.

4. Your first choice sticks. Don’t just blurt something out, m’kay?

5. It’s up to you to search the thread and make sure your choice is unique. I’m waayyyy too lazy to catch the dupes. Popular picks go fast.

6. The pool stays open until somebody on the list dies. Feel free to jump in any time. Noobs, strangers, drive-bys and one-comment-wonders — all are welcome.

7. If you want your fabulous prize, you have to entrust me with a mailing address. If you don’t want the fabulous prize, you’re too smart to be a regular. It takes me forever to put them in the mail, packages go by slow boat, typically take minimum eight to ten weeks and lose the will to live along the way.

8. The new DeadPool will begin 6pm WBT (Weasel’s Blog Time) the Friday after the last round is concluded.

What do we want? Aunty’s dick! When do we want it? When it gets here!

Representative Todd Akin of Missouri.

1) He is too dumb for Darwin to overlook him much longer, and 2) for both being funded by his Democrat opponent and giving Obama a. the Senate seat he claims he is “running for”, b. perhaps giving Obama control of the Senate, and c. perhaps giving Obama the presidency for life.

Sorry about that, Pat. I found your entry in the spam bucket (lord knows why) and kicked it loose, but since things have moved on from there, I deleted it again.

Speaking of the spam bucket, there’s something a bit creepy about this one:

I together with my friends came looking at the excellent tactics found on your website and so all of the sudden got an awful suspicion I had not thanked the site owner for those strategies. Most of the young boys had been totally happy to learn them and have sincerely been enjoying those things. Appreciation for actually being really thoughtful and then for choosing varieties of exceptional subject matter most people are really desperate to be informed on. My very own sincere regret for not expressing appreciation to you earlier.

Rustbucket, above, said:

“Uncle Joe Biden…during his “visit” to the RNC in Tampa…by a faux-tea-partier (read:Obama operative)…how’s that for a conspiracy theory?”

Rustbucket got him first, so I think that it’s against the rules to call Biden, onstage during his speech in Charlotte, nevermind that it makes me feel creepy to say so.

It’s just that I’ve been contemplating just how much more of a Chinese clusterfuck the Donks’ convention can become, and I think that this would make a huge one. Sherriff Joe’s primary value to the Dims at this point is as a martyr.
