sticking with my gal Nancy….Reagan that is!

Bonnie Franklin.

Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, time for that October “surprise!”.

Jimmy Carter – please!

Billy Graham, of he goes before 11- 6 he’ll have an extra “pull” for romney

Hugo Chavez…. because he is still available.

Fidel Castro

Eli Wallach

Helen Thomas!

Since Nina picked him last pool and as far as I know she has not been “disappeared” by the Secret Service [although given the agent that was found passed out drunk on a street corner last night in Florida, and who when woken by the cops tried to fight his way out; they may not be operating at peak efficiency], I will pick Buraq Hussein Obama, Lightworker and Hero of the Leftist Revolution [Bees P Upon Him]. Hopefully from the shock of getting his gluteal musculature handed to him at the next presidential debate.

Subotai Bahadur

I still like my pick of Argentina, but I guess I’ll bring my sights down and just go with Carol Channing.

“Uncle Joe” Biden

(shaking fist at sky)
Damn you, Tibby!!

Oh, ok. How about Ruth Bader Ginzburg?

Lindsay Lohan

Ayman Zawahiri.

Tony Bennett

Incidentally: steve’s pick of Alex Karras was one of the three latest winning picks (11 days into round 38). The others were Clarence Clemmons by Princess Bernie (11 days into round 16), and Johnny Pesky by pablo (12 days into round 34).

It was also one of the “quickest kills” (1 day). There have been three same-day winning picks (Gary Coleman, John Wooden, and Nick Charles), but Coleman and Wooden were picked and died day 1, while Charles was picked and died day 2. Seve Ballesteros, Kim Jong-il, and Chuck Colson were picked day 2 and died day 3.

This is the first late-pick/quick-kill win.

(The slowest kill was Liz Taylor – 150 days after being picked by Harbqll two days into round 10A.)

Here is the breakdown of winning picks by days in:

0-21, 1-6, 2-4, 3-1, 4-1, 5-1, 7-1, 11-2, 12-1.

jerry sandusky

Kirk Douglas

So anyway, I had my pick all decided on but was un-avoidably detained (stoopid work) and I get here and Tibby had poached Jimmah.

So I’ll go with Rosalynn Carter

mojo: How about Ruth Bader Ginzburg?

Not till after January 20, please!

(Small nightmare: Obama loses – then during the lame-duck period, Ginsburg and Breyer both retire, and Obama and the Democrats ram through replacement appointments that are in their 40s, such as California AG Kamala Harris. As long as 50 Senate Democrats go along, it can’t be stopped.)

Sorry Michael and Mojo! I’m usually late to the party – but not this time. heheheh

I note that another of my earlier picks has gone (only three out of 36, so far).

Good riddance to Eric Hobsbawm, CH, unrepentant apologist for Stalinism, who had the temerity to complain that Lord Rothschild’s CH presentation came before his. (You’d think an honest Red would spurn such medieval tinsel, rather than flaunt it.)

Pat Summerall

Pete Seeger!!!

John Madden: he’s fat, he’s brain-dead, & I’m pretty sure he’s been technically deceased since the early 1990s.

Chuck Berry

*siggghhh** –

Well – I ain’t waitin’ out for a “late pick” by Steve; sorry, but that’s just begging for Some Veg to swoop in – so. I’ll claim my “usual” – Jane (In The Main Insane) Fonda, That Rascally Red-Pants We All Luvs Ta Hate…

Some Veg, you’ll have to make do with Larry King, I guess – assuming that Steve or somebody else doesn’t get there firstist.

BTW – no offense, Rich, but I wouldn’t’ve wasted a perfectly good pick on Uncle Hairplugs. Based on last night’s “performance”, he’s now overdue to fade slowly away into an amply-deserved obscurity. Besides, being revealed as one of history’s most ineffectual holders of one of the most ineffectual political positions in existence means he’s essentially already been dead for the last several years.

He’s always looked and mostly acted like he was dead from the collarbutton upwards for at least the last couple of decades anyway…

So – anybody know what’s the over/under line in Vegas on Steve’s next pick? I’d like to get a couple of bucks down before the weekend’s over, anyway.

Harry Reid

Sticking with Betty White – ’til one of us goes.

Billy Graham, if he goes before 11- 6 he’ll have an extra “pull” for romney.”

He might involuntarily cast a deceased ballot for O’Bama, though.

The Nobel Peace Prize – laughed to death.

Zsa Zsa

I’ll take Abe Vigoda this time.

Oscar Niemeyer!!! Again.

Antoine “Fats” Domino. Bastige gotta die someday!

(I hate being late to the deadpool…)

Tom Brokaw (SP?)

Hillary Clinton after getting run over by the Obama Bus.

kim jong un trips down the stairs at the palace as someone turns out the lights in a show of solidarity to the rest of the country that has none….

Bernie Ecclestone of Formula One fame (or infamy, depending on your perspective).

I’m going with Muhammad ALI once again!

harry belafonte

Gordon Brown. One day, one day.

Maggie Thatcher! Whews!!!

David Rockefeller again. He’s 97, he’s a truly bad man, and it’s time for him to go to Hell.

Has no one nabbed Sean Connery yet? I bags the bond.

HRH prince phillip

I am going to change things up and operate from my speculation that after the debates debacle the Obama administration is desperate for something to talk about. They really can’t do much for an economic October surprise since no one seems to be buying the cooked numbers on unemployment.

This leaves something in the foreign policy arena. They are smarting from the Libya assassination of our ambassador. This will stay in the press till something pushes it into ‘forget me land’

The best for Obama is to have Assad of Syria die. This will give the U.S. an entry into the country on the premise of chasing WMD and providing aid to the new government. It’s a great chance to make speeches and insist that our policy on the Middle East ‘is-too’ working.

So the CIA will be tasked with ‘helping’ the rebel forces rub him out. * Failure may be an option here now that Uncle Joe has thrown the CIA under the bus, but I think that Obama is desperate enough to try it.

So, Assad, by a bomb.

EDIT: My Virus Scan wipes out my user names and saved passwords to make my life safe…. so Anonymous is Some Vegetable or me, whichever the NSA can’t easily find.

William Shatner

Charlie Rangel. He’s sponged off the Government long enough. Down with him now before he can win reelection.

The Code Pink twats marching in Waziristan to protest the US taking out AQ with drones. Is a group pick permissable? If not I’ll just go with Joan de Beauvoir de Havilland, aka, Joan Fontaine

Damn, join friends for a few and miss out on the early picks. Ok, enough crying….Desmond Tutu.

Nancy Pelosi. By any means available.

Elena Kagan, just to mess up Rich Rostrom’s nightmare scenario.

Mew

Mija Cat: Kagan wouldn’t be such a big deal. She’s only 52, so her Obamite replacement wouldn’t be much younger. Whereas a replacement of the sickly 79-year-old Ginsburg would extend liberal control of that seat by probably 25 years.

Anonymous is getting my vote for his clarity on this one.
I concur.

I would have thought that Hilary Clinton would have chocked to death on pussy by now?

Larry Hagman

Jayne Meadows who, surprisingly, and even while Steve Allen was alive, has long been an active Republican. But, she’s getting on.

I’ll go with Gloria Arroyo, ex-Presidente of the Philippines. If her illnesses don’t get her, the Filipino courts will.

James Earl Jones – can you hear me now?

Sorry about the trip to the spam filter, Nanny. At least nobody took your pick while you were in there…

Marty Allen. Worst hair in comedy.

I think perhaps I’ll just send some dick to Steve, y’know? As an offering? Just to ensure it’s not me.

As a back up: Olivia de Havilland

Damn. Since my Assad pick has been poached, how ’bout B.B.King? Man’s gonna go out with his boots on.

Dr. Ruth Westheimer

Steve Tyler. Dude looks like a corpse…

Mikhail Kalashnikov, it’s well past time.

Steve Tyler. Dude looks like a corpse…

But like a lady corpse.

George Soros. Fingers crossed.

@Rich Rostrom – the real nightmare scenarios, for this cat, involve Scalia and Thomas… they’re not exactly youngsters, y’know.

Mew

Syphilis is as syphilis does… returning my pick to Hugh Hefner. I hear his penicillin hoard is running low.

For once, with Msrs Jesse Jackson sr and jr available, I pick…Woody Allen or Ed Asner-Asshat. Just mixing it up for a change.

Hey, has anyone seen or heard about that race-pandering chucklehead Calypso Louie Parraquat? Hopefully, he’s dead…

I don’t think anyone had him, but Gary Collins just bit the big one at age 74, per MSNOnline…

LesterIII Once it is tertiary … well, nasty.

RIP Gary Collins, 74.

So, where is Steve. Is he sitting this one out or afraid to put the whammy on someone?

Marjorie Lord

Someone might have another Shot at Hilary Clinton?

I hope no one put Uncle Badger into the Dead Pool.

In protest of the proposed badger cull, I offer this.

Arlen Specter

Wouldn’t it make more sense to vaccinate them?
Or it would make a lot more sense to Cull 5 billion humans.

The gal who suggests donations to Planned Parenthood for Mother’s Day: the lucky sperm club winner and all around useless & annoying Gwyneth Paltrow.

And my mother in law who would really just make me the winner I suppose.

In protest of the proposed badger cull, I offer this.

After watching that, I say kill them all!

@ PatAZ

I have been holding back a bit, since achieving my triple dick.

I am letting everyone else have a head start.

(To say nothing about my many many failures, as I rushed to the front of the line to put my money on Zsa Zsa….and that gnarly old bird just will not follow her other leg into the grave.)

George H W Bush, for the moderate team.

Anyone have Arlen Spector?

Republican, Democrat or neither, Arlen Specter is dead. Congratulations to thefritz.

Crap I missed the last one and now the dead RINO……

“See” ya Friday…….

Specter, Spector, Spectre… It’s all the same when you’re dead.

http://hosted.ap.org/dynamic/stories/U/US_OBIT_ARLEN_SPECTER?SITE=AP&SECTION=HOME&TEMPLATE=DEFAULT&CTIME=2012-10-14-13-03-16

So long, you old bastard.

Mew

Specter is now a spector! Congratulations thefritz!

Damn! Didn’t even get through the weekend on this pool.

Congrats thefritz…darn it again.

See! I didn’t take him!
Congrats, thefritz.

Poor Stoaty! You’re going to go broke between the dick and the postage.

Looks like the mortal coil is too greasy to hang onto these days…

Damn! I came back to check on the picks and was about to snark on Becca’s pick:

“ Becca picked Dr. RUTH? She’s fucked! ”

when I see that Arlen has gone to join the hell-fire brigade. Shoveling coal is a lot like shoveling shit Arlen. You know how.

Anyhow not that one couldn’t trust thefritz with the keys to the liquor cabinet, but noting the rules call for dirty tricks, has a time stamp check been done on Arlen’s toe tag and thefritz’s post? I mean I have government employees involved in my pick and everyone knows they don’t work weekends…..I need some stall time.

Stoaty is gonna have to have a Charity Ball For Dick or sumpin to cover all the expenses. 🙂

gettin’ toasty in the netherworld for that putz from PA… i wonder if there will be Specter specter sightings now in congress…

Haha…no kidding! I’m going to have to switch to Virtual Dick or something.

It’s not the dick, it’s the postage…

I swear some of you just lurk around ICUs.

Charity Ball For Dick doesn’t have that certain something. Willie Nelson and Mellencamp have Farm-aid. Dick-aid? Postage-aid?

Dick-aid sounds like a winner.

What’s the postage like?

Dave – you’re right. CB for D doesn’t really sing. Best I could do …

Weas’ you could send a case of Dick to a friend stateside and have him/her distribute it per your instructions. That’d get you thru a month or two and maybe cost a bit less.

How about an original drawing (or a signed, numbered print)of some Spotted Dick?

Yeah, a certificate would do:

“Let it be known that (name here) is now a member of THE LOYAL ORDER OF THE SPOTTED DICK for picking (stiff’s name here) in the (date or pool # here) Weasel Times And Stoat Intelligencer Celebrity Dead Pool” etc. etc. etc. May a nice pic of the stiff, the dick, and the weasel on it.

Most of us aren’t going to eat the dick anyways – it will just sit on a shelf while the contents of the can begin to resemble the stiff that won the dick.

Hmm.

Timestamp check: Snarlin’ Arlen’s demise was announced “11 hours ago” on CNN.

thefritz picked him at 3:42AM, WBT.

I will now post this to see what the present WBT is.

OK, WBT now 4:53 AM, 10/15. The death was therefore announced at about 6 PM, 10/14, WBT. (Or at earliest 5 PM.) Looks like thefritz got in by more than 12 hours. Unless someone can find an earlier announcement?)

(Converting everything to EDT, which is four hours behind WBT:

thefritz picked at 11:42 PM EDT 10/13.

Specter’s death announced at 1-2 PM EDT 10/14.)

BTW, Prince Sihanouk also departed – my fourth “hit” (so to speak.

Stoatie,

I kinda like the original personalized certificate if shipping the Dick is starting to drain you. It reminds me of a certificate I once made up for the “Oliver Wendell Shagnasty Award for Inventive Applied Malice”. It is a long story, but the reason of the award was “for his contributions to the degradation of the toilet habits in Western Iceland”.

There is another alternative. We have a chain store here called World Market, and they do online and mail order. They have Heinz Spotted Dick for $4.99 a can. A gift certificate is a lot easier to send, or order through them. Or you could look around for a chain here that sell’s Auntie’s and get gift certificates to them.

Subotai Bahadur

Sweasle needs a ‘hall of fame’ … she’s having to fork out too much, and she doesn’t earn enough …

RE: Timothy’s comment, “….the stiff, the dick, and the weasel…”

Sounds like a movie title. I like it.

I have enough dick to cover winnings so far, but I am thinking about…I dunno…a limited edition, signed and numbered print, perhaps?

I thought about offering a custom-designed avatar or something, but I do like the tradition of Aunty’s Spotted Dick.

Stoaty dearest, I get the tradition part, but there’s also the practical end of it.
Not sure what dick tastes like, but how’s about a choice between the real Auntie’s dick or numbered/signed print?
Not heard from steve (not anonymous) how much he’s enjoyed his multiple dicks, but he may prefer something (anything?) else.

OH DEAR…. Now I’m envisioning a small lithograph of a leering Auntie who apparently needs a shave lewdly cupping the crotch of her dress.

Hmmmmmmm

steve (not anonymous) has never brought himself to taste the stuff….but his daughter seems to relish it…..

As for Stoaties dick distribution dillemma….

Perhaps she should give some consideration to “fiat” dick.

Print up some Weasel Reserve Notes.

If I could make a suggestion…. It seems that the thrill of winning the dick is in itself the honor and prestige that we are all looking for. I would be more than honored to pay the postage prior to shipping through some sort of paypal arrangement – If’n I ever win it. Stoaty, you should have to pay for all the fun we have on your own blog.

Woo Hoo! the dick’s all mine. I’d like to thank AltBBrown for snoozing through the last round and not poaching Specter, now we’re even. (Sun Myung Moon)
Ms. Weasel, I’ll defer the Dick and let you spend the postage on your absentee ballot…we need every vote!

The local “Publix” grocery store (a chain in the SE US) carries part of Auntie’s line of products, including Spotted Dick. We also buy our Jammie Dodgers there (required by my daughter for watching Dr. Who) but Auntie doesn’t make those.

I like the tradition of the actual Dick going trans-Atlantic, but perhaps there is another way. All expenses shouldn’t be borne by the Mustelidae.

I have enough dick to cover winnings so far

Welp, that’s the apex, kids. The rest of Al Gore’s internet is downhill from here.

No way, thefritz. The game isn’t fun without prizes. And I already have your dick.

Waiting for my absentee ballot now. If I remember correctly, they’re postage paid. Might be wrong about that…only done it once before.

Once you’ve got a dick in hand, another is redundant. The original weez art is the prize.

So, Ms Weasel, you are still allowed to vote in the good ole USA even though you became a citizen of that other place? Good on you.

And the ballot is postage paid. I have mine sitting right here on my computer desk. Just finished it this morning. Besides, Mrs Mooch had her picture taken with hers just before she mailed it.

Multiple dicks, I have your dick, a dick in hand….it’s beginning to sound like a weasel pron site……
(I agree with Pable – the original SW art is the real prize!! Mine has a place of honor on the cork board by the computer….

Jerry Lewis.

Just puttin’ it out there, folks.

Mew

They have ‘spotted dick’ in cans in the local Winn Dixie’s in Florida, so maybe just a gift certificate would do? I think the brand for the Winn Dixie dicks is ‘Heinz’, not ‘Aunty’, so it may not have the same feel to it.

BTW: what _is_ the shelf life for spotted dick? Do they print expiration dates on the can? How can you tell if a dick has gone bad? What happens if you eat a bad dick? Do they get soft and start to ooze, or dry up and get really, _really_ hard?

>Heinz Spotted Dick

AKA John Kerry.

Sorry, I couldn’t help myself.

Joe Medicine Crow, who I met some years ago near the Custer battlefield (and is featured in the Ken Burns series “The War”).

We have a news feed from Beijing, and I learned of Sihanouk the Ruthless’s demise quite some time ago.

I thought it might be fun to cheat, but my better angel won.

Fred Phelps

Another perennial name is popping up – Fidel Castro. Rumors of news from Havana are flying. If he’s not dead already, he might be a good pick in the pool on Friday.

Same guy – wasis name; Jock Barzun kinda thing. Lives in San Antonio. 104 years old. Great writer & shit. Historian.

George McGovern.
