Round 45: so many, many dicks…
So, Christopher Dorner is a crispy critter. Probably. I’m going to call it for Davem123, and in the unlikely event the DNA indicates otherwise…well, we’ll have our first ever Rescindment of Dick. Won’t that be fun?
But until such time as mayhap such a miracle doth come to pass…
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.
The prize? Still a fabulous two-pack of Aunty’s Spotted Dick…!

Oceania’s call here is an interesting one – ordinarily I would just shake my head and move on – but I think it calls for a pre-occurance ruling, noting that big rocks have just rained down from the sky.
Technically, it could be argued that the nameless (to us) victims meet the requirement of being instant celebrities. On the other hand it could be argued that Weasel had never heard of them until *after* their deaths. Further, given the size of the world population, sadly, that kind of nonspecific pick is much like forecasting rain. It’s sure to happen somewhere. JUDGES; what say ye?

I see Stephen Falken has poached my usual Ramsey Clark. I wish Stephen well with that pick because I will rejoice with every mouthful of dick he wins. So Jerry Lee Lewis is my pick. I was picking him in 1970, along with Johnny Winter, but he remains determinedly alive.

I last saw Johnny Winter live in Atlanta in 1986 or so. They were rolling him onto the stage on a hand-truck even in those days. I thought he was dead then until they placed a guitar in hands and he started to play.
Still love him though.

To be honest, I’d take Biden at this point. Biden may be a walking advertisement for Alzheimers and be unable to hit the ground with his hat; but as president he would do less damage to the country than the Lord of the Flies’ cabana boy. [Can’t remember exactly who I stole that presidential title from, but it is so apt that it is permanently stolen.]

Madam Stoat, rather than write a lot here, I’ll just post this link to the Fox Sports article about Jerry Buss. He was the owner of the spectacularly successful Los Angeles Lakers basketball team when, among others, Magic Johnson, Kareem Abdul-Jabar, Kobe Bryant, Shaquille O’Neal. He had an NBA national championship ring for all ten of his fingers. It is understandable for anyone who does not follow sports, basketball in particular, to be unfamiliar with such people as team owners, but Jerry Buss was a very real standout for his team’s success, the respect he earned from those he worked with, and for a spectacularly flamboyant lifestyle.
I’ll send shipping/contact info via email. Thanks!

Speaking of mass-death “events,” I seem to recall a Saturday Night Live sketch from many years ago in which the big earthquake finally hits The Coast and much of California is destroyed. The whole point of the sketch lay in getting laughs from reading off the names of show-biz types killed in the quake…

I just received in the mail a nicely rigid envelope with a nice beige picture of the Queen in the corner and a nice red rubber stamp image (front and back) of Auntie Weasel’s MARCA DA WEASEL. Inside, to my delight, was the “it’s official! YOUR HAVE WON THE DICK!” certificate for this round 45, and even more delightful was the prize itself. I was expecting something funny but what I found was a drawing of a lion’s head as a very mild and tasteful caricature. It is lovely, and I thank you very much, Madam Stoat.
