Round 61: Equinox edition
Carl wins his third dick with Tony Benn, British politician. Here’s all you need to know about Tony Benn: 1) he was an egregious lefty twat-waffle and 2) his great uncle was murdered with a chamberpot by his own son, who later got out of the loony bin and fathered Margaret Rutherford.
End of.
Okay, here we go. Pity Fred Phelps couldn’t join us:
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? Also, make sure you have a correct spelling of your choice somewhere in your comment. These threads get longish and I use search to figure out if we have a winner.
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.

I used a very scientific process by which to choose ole Bob – I entered “nasty old leftist hack” into my search bar, his name was first in the results, I thought “fuck that guy in particular”, and the choice was made. Hopefully he has better timing than Fred Phelps.

Whale, my other picks have enjoyed the great good fortune of not becoming a dick on my office wall, so I shall revert to Valerie Harper. Doctors gave her three months to live, but that was almost a year ago. Her meningeal cancer is supposedly “nearly in remission”, but that ain’t jack…”nearly” doesn’t count. And we all know the entertainment media lies like a cheap rug…

While I admit that I would prefer that asteroid 2003 QQ47, which was possibly going to hit earth today, would instead have landed on top of Capitol City [having the same positive effect on the country as a massive dose of antibiotics has on a rake suffering with syphilus], it is going to miss. And on Capitol Hill alone that is too many ambulatory dicks to pay off.
So instead I will choose Vladimir Vladimirovich Putin [Влади́мир Влади́мирович Пу́тин], Tsar-of-All-the-Russias-He-Can-Steal. Unfortunately, he will likely die laughing his жопа off at our nutless wonder of a momjeans cluster-copulation of a Lightworker.

Abe Vigoda is still alive?? WhoDaThunkIt?…Has anybody told him? I mean, lately?…
‘Kay, maybe me & SomeVeg have been approaching this Li’l Red Insaney Janey thing all wrong, doin’ a tag-team approach, here – tell you what, this time and this time ONLY…purely as a scienterrific* experimentation sorta-thingy, I’ll lay off the ol’ beeyatch, too, and take Larry King for this go-’round instead. I mean, Henry’s Biggest (Female) Mistake is such a perverse, ornery ol’ bat, maybe she’s forestalling the Long (and, in her case anyway, Richly-Deserved) Dirt Nap simply ’cause of all the continuing negative vibes being beamed at her, and if nobody’s watching or seems to care for awhile…well…mebbe she’ll “shuffle off this mortal coil”, just to get some (though only in her view, of course) “positive” attention for a “big finish”…
Worth a try, right?…So – this time: that Matrimonial Miracle Man, the most soft-headed, lovey-dovey, soft-pitch interviewer to ever foam at the mike, Larry “Galluses-R-Me” King.
(Although, truth to tell, if Insaney Janey doesn’t take the bait and bite the big one in this round, I’m rootin’ for SomeVeg’s pick – let’s face it, folks, like the old song says, Summer’s a-comin’ and they’ll be runnin’ outta ice, and ol’ Fee-dell’s gotta be gettin’ pretty “ripe for the planting” by now anyway. Gets kinda warmish down Cuba-way about this time of year, it does…)
(*That’s, of course, an inverse-contraction of “terrific science” – and what I’m trying, here, is at least as terrifically scienterrific as Mighty AlGore’s ol’ fave, Glowball Wormering/Coolering/Changering ‘Cause Of Peepull, right?)

If Dave’s not picking the senior senator from the great State of Nevada, I will. In the nature of wish fulfillment, since he won’t just go away.

Which was a little hinky, as she didn’t include his name, making the pick obscure (i.e. a search won’t find it).
Perhaps a new rule is needed.
So go with Irwin Corey, Hosni Mubarak, Bill Ayres, Jacques Chirac, Keith Richards, Louis Farrakhan, Silvio Berlusconi, John Dingell, ex-Pope Benedict, GHW Bush, the Queen, Ayman Zawahiri, Joseph Kony…

I would like a ruling from Her Regal Stoatliness about rule 0. It says, “your pick has to be living when picked.” Does this mean actually living, or officially living? I’ve already got my pick in, and he’s definitely both actually and officially alive, so the answer does not affect me this round. But what if somebody picked either Zaharie Ahmad Shah or Fariq Abdul Hamid, the pilot and copilot of MH370? It seems a pretty good bet that both are feeding the fishes but that isn’t absolutely known and certainly no one has issued death certs yet for them.
