Herman Wouk, just cuz.

William (The Shat) Shatner

George Herbert Walker Bush

Olivia de Havilland. Ya know, I’m gonna be quite sad when the ol’ gal goes. She has had a long, interesting life and has a cool name to boot!

Kirk Douglas

Lester III is another unacquainted with his own father.

I think I will poach Billy Graham

Gossip is that Kirk is on death’s door. I will stick to my usual, Miriam Moskowitz.

jimmy the dimmy carter

Kim Jong-Un. Just cuz I’d be OK with that.

Ric Fan: “Gossip is that Kirk is on death’s door.”

Douglas or Captain? Janna and Ben need to know!

Heinz “Henry” Kissinger

T’is true, t’is true…Lay-deez an’ gemmuns – ol’ Hugh Hefner has – at the fully-ripened ol’ age – Left The Building…

(Gonna show my age a bit, here -)

I do remember when he started-up that li’l magazine-thingy…took awhile for it to catch on, it did – can’t imagine just why; seems rather a natural “fit” for the times, looking back…’specially with Marilyn Monroe’s early “assistance”, in a manner of speaking…

Ah, well…

My Usual, I think: Ol’ Lefty-Insaney Red-Pants Janey Fonda – Time to go, Janey…you’ve long-outlived any even-marginal usefulness you might have once had, mostly as an example of rilly low-grade B-pitchur actressin’ and semi-emoting…

@Ric Fan, @Formerly known as Skeptic –

Searching Nooz o’ Teh Great Goog found nothing on Mr. Douglas; did not look for Mr. Shatner

Yes, yes, EMWTK!

Barbara Bush.

Robert Mugabee

Richard Simmons

Ruthie Badass Ginsburg Supreme.

Git a move on there Ruth, you’ll be doin the greatest service to your country you’ve ever done.

Phil the Greek aka HRH Prince Philip.

Surprised nobody picked George Soros yet, so I will. Please do the entire world a favor and die George.

I’m taking Burt Reynolds back.

Stephen Reinhardt, almost certainly the very worst sitting Federal judge. Certainly the one with the longest and most egregious record of mischief.

(Ms. Weasel – if you say it is DP 102, it is DP 102, because it’s your party. I count only 100 previous DPs. But two prizes were issued for DP 74, so this will be the 102nd prize. That squares it up, I guess.)

Beverly Cleary, she’s even older than Olivia de Havilland!

“Hot Shot” John McCain is my pick this round, but I’ll probably not win with him because he’s screwed up everything he’s ever done in life, so why should his death be any different?

Imma poaching Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg

@BJM, too late. Durnedyankee already poached the nasty crone.

For this round I will again choose the Ding Dong Gentleman, Leslie Phillips. Comic actor Who has been in over 150 films and television shows. Known early in his career for the Carry On and the Doctor film series.

Memorable phrase “Ding Dong, you’re not wrong”

Mel Brooks
Igor: Dr. Frankenstein…
Dr. Frederick Frankenstein: Fronkensteen.
Igor: You’re putting me on.
Dr. Frederick Frankenstein: No, it’s pronounced Fronkensteen.
Igor: Do you also say Froaderick?
Dr. Frederick Frankenstein: No…”Frederick.
Igor: Well, why isn’t it Froaderick Fronkensteen?
Dr. Frederick Frankenstein: It isn’t; it’s Frederick Fronkensteen.
Igor: I see.
Dr. Frederick Frankenstein: You must be Igor.
[He pronounces it ee-gor]
Igor: No, it’s pronounced eye-gor.
Dr. Frederick Frankenstein: But they told me it was ee-gor.
Igor: Well, they were wrong then, weren’t they?

Chuck Yeager

Long Live Clint Eastwood.

Dan Rather

Got beaten to John McCain. So I will pick the Democrats’ strongest ally in the Senate, Mitch McConnell. Preferably of something painful. And I hope the EMT’s “take a knee”.

Steven Tyler of Aerosmith

Bob Dole

Barbi Benton

Carol Channing

Larry Flynt.

Guccione And Hefner are gone, might as well make it a set.

Desmond Tutu. Let it be said, let it be done.

Going for Bill Clinton
Slick Willy for the dick!

If Ed Asner wins Imma be upset.

Sk.Y M-39, Kissing is already taken. If you’re not reading this, boy are you gonna be upset if it’s Kissinger.

Paul Ehrlich again. One can hope. right?

Nancy Pelosi. If brain-dead counts, I’ve already won.

Having chosen, why the hell do they let John McCain continue to vote. The man has brain cancer FFS. Doesn’t anyone think that this might impact his judgement?

Doris Day.

Raul Castro

Valerie Harper

Oh, my. This is a nice mix-it-up this time. I didn’t know he was still alive…

I pick Marty Allen, born in 1922, which makes him ..um.. 95? I have vague memories of him from my childhood. And I think I may have seen him on TV a time or two *rimshot*

Newsday (oh, my – are they still publishing? Obviously…) just put out a nice article titled ‘Celebrities Aged 90 And Older’, which is where I found out Marty was still alive and kicking. Some good picks in there – damn fine picks.

http://www.newsday.com/entertainment/celebrities/celebrities-age-90-and-older-1.12813332

But I would doublecheck to make sure they are still alive so as not to violate ‘Rule Zero’.

The monocular Scottish twat Gordon Brown. He’s got to go sometime.

I think most actual men looked at Hefner, at least for the last thirty years, and thought, “ew”. He was a caricature of what a virile, successful man was supposed to be.

Noam Chomsky

Roberta McCain

dick van dyke

Hillary R. Clinton. Don’t go away mad, just go away.

Insaney Janey might just bust a vein soon as she is furious with MeAgain Kelly for asking about her plastic surgery. Couldn’t happen to a nicer traitor.

So much for Ctrl F…

I’ll try Marilyn Pauline “Kim” Novak

Cecily Tyson did not realize she was in her 90’s

Monty Hall has gone to see what’s behind Door Number Four at 96. Nobody had him so the deadpool rolls on.

Rosie O’Donnell

Monty Hall has gone to see what’s behind Door Number Four at 96. Nobody had him so the deadpool rolls on.

!#@!#$%! I saw both him and Marty Allen in that article I mentioned and finally settled on Marty.

*so close to death I can smell the sulpher*

Marilyn Manson
Crushed to death by his own prop

Monty Hall had a good life. He married his wife in 1948 and stayed married until her death in June. They moved into their BH house in 1962 and lived there until their deaths. They had 3 successful kids.

Once again:

Bob Barker, come on down!

Too bad the “Numb3rs” ran out of math problems…

My long time pick Ramsey Clark.

S.I. Newhouse passes at age 89. No one had ‘im. They are dropping like flies, just not the ones we want.

https://www.nytimes.com/2017/10/01/obituaries/si-newhouse-dead.html

Jerry Lee Lewis

For the low shot…

Tom Petty

Joanne Woodward although I think tonycc has this round nailed down with the Tom petty pick. Sad. The wife and I saw him live in San Diego a year or so ago.

Hmm rule zero says must be “living when picked”, reports are that Tom Petty was in full cardiac arrest and “brain dead” when he arrived at hospital on Sunday night.

http://www.nydailynews.com/entertainment/music/tom-petty-critical-condition-cardiac-arrest-article-1.3536756

Either way, he’s free fallin’ now for sure. Sad face.

The wife and I saw him live in West Palm a month ago…
very sad news

we need a ruling….

Thomas Earl Petty (October 20, 1950 – October 2, 2017)

@ tonycc
I think Tom Petty was dead before you selected him.
Sorry, old man, don’t hate the player, hate the game….

Petty is still alive. They disconnected him from life support but obviously he is breathing on his own. He’ll probably die soon if they do nothing.

@ tonycc
Petty is listed as “not dead” but removed from life support. He may still be “technically” alive.
~
You may be the winner after all…

His heart is beating and he is breathing on his own, therefore, I declare him very much alive. There must be some brain activity if he can do both on his own. What are they going to do? Hold a pillow over his face?

Wasnt Petty who was ranting about Trump at his concerts last spring? When people complained, he said dont come to my concerts. Dont know if he continued. Havent heard complaints. Frankly, I was disappointed. Thought he was all about the music and with the price of tickets, it seems like a rip off when they blah blah blah about other crap.

Richard Cole, last of the Doolittle Raiders

OK, for real this time…

Seems sorta-kinda moot, at this point, but…

Per CBS Online –

Last Updated Oct 3, 2017 1:16 AM EDT

UPDATE: Tom Petty’s longtime manager announced Monday night that the rocker has died at age 66. Petty was surrounded by family, his bandmates and friends, according to a statement.

So, there you have it, Sports Fans – ol’ Tom has officially Left The Building (so to speak…)

If that’s not a record for Shortest Deadpool, it’s gotta be perty dang close…provided the ruling is that tonycc got in “under the wire”, of course – slick move, there!

Still think they pulled the plug way too quickly.

I am going to disqualify myself as violating rule 0. I never win anything, so this was a shot at keeping the man alive.

He was mostly dead when I submitted the pick. In my book, mostly dead is dead, contrary to what miracle max would have us believe. 🙂

Speaking as someone who was about to jump in, selecting Tom Petty but was beaten to it by Tonycc, I think that Tony wins.

After all, at the time Tony named him, Tom Petty was still breathing unaided. The criterion in these circumstances should be the time at which the attending doctors pronounce him dead. Presumably we will get a formal statement from the hospital and that will settle it.

Tom Petty’s manager gives the official time of death as 8:40 p.m. PT, which is well after Tonycc submitted his entry so I guess that’s it. Tony wins the Dick.

You’re doing the noble thing there Tony. While I’d be the first to pounce on an easy prey, I’m flying at Weasel Blog Time on Friday and I wouldn’t get my pick in. Maybe Stoaty will give you an atta-boy prize…

Maybe I should be anonymous…that was me.

Legally he was not dead until 8:40 pm, well after Tony picked him. So, Tonycc for the dick!

Having won two pools by getting in just under the wire, and lost another when the wire was extended for several months, I salute TonyCC for DQing himself. You sir are an honorable man.

Perhaps we ought to have a Rule -1, that all names submitted have to be normally alive for at least 48 hours after being entered in the pool. Better to be savants than vultures.

Tony Bennett

I’d suggest anyone thinking poorly of tonycc’s win should review Rule 3:

“Poaching and other dirty tricks positively encouraged.”

Congratulations on a fine piece of shameless opportunism! You’ve won yourself a dick, fair and square.

I’m with Pablo. Tonycc picked a currently-living celebrity who then died. At the very least he should get a bonus dick. Maybe one of those 31 pigs that Stoaty denies are in the works.

Tonycc is disclaiming his win. Everyone else is handing the win to him.

Will this be the first time in the Deathpool that a winner get’s a Dick forced down his…..

Sorry! I don’t think I like the way this post is shaping up

No where in the rules does it say one can decline to get dicked.

Tonycc, bend over!

Okay, we need a Congressional investigation of what Tonycc knew, and when he knewed it.

Tonycc you can expect a ruling sometime in 2019,

maybe.

All y’all are making me laugh. The words “noble” and “honorable” are showing up in a dead pool? This is a dead pool for crisakes!

OK, I’ll accept the Miracle Max rule in which almost dead is still a little alive and take that dick, just so we can move forward and get back to the purely irreverent happening that this is and rightfully should be. Just please don’t tell my wife.

Yes, I declare the dick won. See you on Friday, y’all.

@veeshir Yup, saw it too late. sitting this one out and hoping it’s a quick clean dick for someone……

And Yes the Dick is done….

whoops
