Dead Pool Round 67: Fish Jumping, Cotton High
Platypuss wins dick with James Garner (born James Scott Bumgarner). Give his Wikipedia entry a read. Among the highlights: he beat the hell out of his stepmother after she made him wear a dress to school, and he was married to the same woman for almost 58 years. Money quote: “Marriage is like the Army; everyone complains, but you’d be surprised at the large number of people who re-enlist.”
Okay, ready?
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.

‘K, more-or-less on time & on target for once (possibly a trend?…Nahh – not necessarily) –
Sorely tempted as I am by such recent highly-pertinent and truly-deplorable acts by certain of our High(!) Gubment “public servants” (lookin’ at you, there, “Feerless Leeder”, ya seriously-Socialistic buttbrain, ya!!…), I will resist my far baser impulses, and the vague threats of Fate, the NSA, etc., and go with my merely baser impulse, and take my usual shot at ill-will to my usual target, to wit:
Insaney Janey, the Left-Coast feemale Fonda (of whom all truly ceevilized folk could reasonably be less fond-a), half (and detectibly the lesser half, at that) of ‘ol Hank’s offspring legacy to our presently-embattled Nation…
C’mon, Janey, ya disgusting Red-pants li’l git – do something, for once in your mostly-disgusting life, for somebody besides your ownself, an’ croak, fercrapsake – or step in front of a S.F. cable car, or a crosstown bus, or off the tour ferryboat to Alcatraz, or something!!
Jane Fonda, for the WIN!

John Boehner, preferably of a combination [contracted in series so he can appreciate each] of scabies, chicken pox, drug resistant TB, and Ebola transmitted by the invaders from across what used to be our southern borders. His “immigration bill” being just an extra appropriation so that they can be scattered all over the country, unchecked and untracked, more quickly and efficiently.

My pick is John McCain a man who has made a career out of bashing conservatives. If John McCain were holding daily press conferences criticizing Obama for abandoning Iraq and allowing the current genocide that would redeem himself in my eyes. But, instead, John McCain is now making suggestions that if he were President in 2003 we might not have ever even gone to war in Iraq.
