Round 57: bend over, here comes 2014!

Holy crap — I’ve forgotten to queue up the Dead Pool! That’s the kind of mellow holiday weasel I am today. Sam Paris wins dick with Kalashnikov (and I don’t mean he shot up the place).

I’m several dicks behind, incidentally, if you’re waiting for one. I tend to do them in batches. Don’t worry, the dick always gets there in the end.

Nope. Never get tired of it.

Right…!

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 on paper suffused with elephant shit particles. Because I didn’t have any dinosaur shit particles.

Beaten to Harry Reid. So I’ll take Ethan Krupp, aka “Pajamaboy”, and worshiper of Buraq Hussein Obama. And no, he is not just a photomodel. He is a long time worker for the Left, and has their mindset. Quoting his own words when describing an argument over abortion he lost; “Beyond the women’s rights implications, I’m afraid it would be the ultimate surrender if I knew the truth.”.

Well…I don’t b’lieve we got “full value” out of the last round, it being sorta brief and all…

So – Once more, I’ll go with Larry King, ol’ Marryin’ Sam’s ideal customer, leaving Insaney Janey FondaHerWe’reNot to the tender mercies and wishes for a quick demise of SomeVeg (or perhaps someone else, should he have other druthers this time ’round)

(If I can’t wish her croaked, maybe I can un-wish her croaked. It’s all good, so long as The Wicked Witch goes South real quick!)

Also – I applaud StPatrick_TN’s selection as a possible alternative; the world minus Fred Phelps could only improve.
