Round 52: Dog Days edition


Weaselwannabe takes a second dick with Helen Thomas. And not a single fuck was given that day. Those kinds of Dead Pools are the best.

Okay, ready? 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’ve won before, send me your address again. I don’t keep good records.

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

The winner, if the winner chooses to entrust me with a mailing address, will receive an Official Certificate of Dick Winning and a small original drawing by my own fair hand. And not just any old drawing, but a drawing on super special elephant poo paper.

The easy pick would be Oceania. After all, he claims to have had a particularly virulent and resistant form of flesh eating bacteria for the last several months. A medical impossibility. So he is WAY overdue. But that may be against house rules.

So instead I will pick John Boehner, putative Republican Speaker of the House who always votes against his own caucus and with the Democrats. Of terminal dehydration from the public weeping he will do after he caves on Amnesty and Open Borders, the Debt Ceiling and the $1 Trillion tax increase Reid is demanding along with it, and his working to keep the caucus from trying to defund Obamacare and the domestic spying by the regime. It is hard work making Pierre Laval look like a hero.
