Dead Pool 104: It’s Beginning to Look a Lot Like Xmas

Mitchell takes dick with Charlie Manson. Despite his body count and the way he sucked all the fun out of the late Sixties, I still don’t think of Manson as a monster. A midget ass-clown maybe. A sawed-off ex-con. A mean little fart.

Anyhow, dead. Finally.

Dead Pool trivia: Mitchell won the very first one, back when I mailed people an actual spotted dick.

A reminder that I declared the previous pool for tonycc, who tried to disavow his win because of dodgy timing. You won the thing, tony. Step up and take your dick!

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. Plus (Pupster’s Rule) no picking someone who’s only famous for being the oldest person alive.

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’m fresh out of fairy shit particles.

Bill Clinton is the youngest listed here at 71. Most picks are in their 90s or 100s.

While I am sure that the GOPe/Democrat coalition to get rid of Judge Moore will continue and perhaps move to assassination eventually; I don’t think that will happen until after the Election December 12.

Before that, noting that it was her being named Robert Mugabe’s successor that triggered an army coup as an alternative to her acting like Hillary with absolute power, I will instead choose Grace Mugabe as the next dead pool winner. Probably from a tragic necklace accident.

Well, well, well – somehow, I’ve managed to exceed all usual-and-normal expectations – including my own, of course – and arrive within the New!Improved!Now With Ever-More-In’trestin’ Input!Dead Pool Number-Whatevah at prior to really, rilly late, and even before rilly late…will wee wonders nevah cease to occur?…

Anyway – on to the Main Event (sorta-kinda): Let’s go with the shockingly-predictable Usual See-Lection – Ol’ Janey-Insaney Redd-Pantz Fonda…prob’ly from a “chance” collision with The Mission Hill Cable-Car Of Death To Them As Really Needz Ta Be Deadz, in Olde San FranCisco,Keedz…

Actually, a point of correction – the beloved Spotted Dick was NOT the original prize that I won with Ted Kennedy! Dame Weasel sent me a can of beans which was so badly dented in its travels that it burst a seam and the beans were spoiled.

I am going to go with someone different this time – Barbara Streisand.
She hasn’t been Funny or a Girl for a long, long time now, and I like to think that the shock of the Trump Victory (A Star is Born, Barbara!) is going to be very hard on her as things just aren’t The Way They Were, For Pete’s Sake!
I mean since Hillary lost The Main Event, I’m sure that Barbara has been as Nuts as if something got, well, “Up The Sandbox” if you know what I mean and I think you do….

And then all her friends and heros like the Clintons and Weinstein, those Little Fockers. She thought she knew them, but she’s since learned that The Mirror Has Two Faces, and even a Yentl like Barbara can’t ignore The Guilt Trip her Democratic God, Bill Clinton aka The Prince Of Tides, has laid on her. It’s gonna kill her.

Pretty soon, The question of the day is going to be “What’s Up Doc?” and the answer ain’t gonna include Barbara.

So late to the party for this round (tryptophan induced coma) that I am tempted to use Carl’s gambit to snatch victory from someone’s decease. However…I do find that technique a little too unsavory…not sporting enough. SO…I again choose Ralph Pierre LaCock, better known by his stage name Peter Marshall. Who better to win me a dick than a Peter LaCock.
