I’ll just copy my entry from the last round!

Ruthie or Mad Nicky? Ruthie or Nicky? Decisions, decisions.

OK. Ruthie it is: Ruth Bader Ginsburg

Filmmaker James Ivory (half of Merchant-Ivory)

I regretfully pick Kirk Douglas who is 102 years old with a birthday coming up in December.

Although a lot of other people claimed to be, he really was Spartacus!

Betty White, darn you Janna!

My “Unofficial Nomination In Spirit” is for the thieving scum that stole my daughter’s catalytic converter, 23inches of piping, and accompanying oxygen sensor and heat-shields. Your suffering shall be truly Epic and will make the ghosts of notorious Torturers of the past shudder and flee. I… will… find you all.

Bob Dole. He’s still around, right?

Jimmy carter

Bill Clinton

Jerry Lee Lewis

Robert Wagner

Missed it by that much…..

Paul Ehrlich.

Prince Phillip

Clive James

Mamie Van Doren

Beaten to my first choice, Jeffrey Epstein, I will go to my second. Ghislaine Maxwell. For those who do not know who that is, it is Epstein’s significant other, and reported pimp and groomer who was in charge of feeding the ephebophilic passions of Epstein and those he favored for a price.

She was visibly moving in those rarified circles, knows too much to be allowed to live, and probably has a limited life expectancy.

Maxine Waters. Go you mean old woman.

Angela Merkel

Chuck Yeager

Herb Alpert. He’s the “A” of A&M records, and perhaps high living will push him ahead of his elders?

Paging Robert Mugabe to the white courtesy phone in Hell’s lobby…

oh, crikey, I’ll just go with my recent standby of Little Richard (Penniman).

Pierre Cardin

Late to the scrum but I see Desmond Tutu is still up for grabs, so I’m grabbin’ him

Well, if no one else has grabbed Rosalynn Carter, she’s mine!

His Holiness Pope Emeritus Benedict XVI, formerly Joseph Cardinal Ratzinger, formerly Joseph Alois Ratzinger. Might have heard of him.

Harold Lloyd

John F’n Kerry

Larry King

Roberta McCain.

I’m going back to my regular based on not picking someone I care the least little bit about, Bob Barker, come one down!

@Subotai Bahadur – Thank you very much for exposing me to a new word: ephebophilic. I had not run across it before now.

My OED says:

ephebophile, n.

Brit. /ɛˈfiːbə(ʊ)fʌɪl/, /ɪˈfiːbə(ʊ)fʌɪl/, U.S. /əˈfibəˌfaɪl/, /ɛˈfibəˌfaɪl/

[‹ ancient Greek ἔϕηβος adolescent boy (› classical Latin ephēbus: see ephebe n.) + -phile comb. form. Compare ephebophilia n.]

An adult (esp. a homosexual) who is sexually attracted to adolescents. Cf. ephebophilia n.

…and of ephebophilia:

Sexual attraction in adults to adolescents, esp. homosexual attraction to adolescent males.

I suggest that a more accurate word to describe the “passions of Epstein and those he favored for a price” is hebephilic.

The prefix “hebe-” refers to pubescence in general, and so “hebephilia” is without the connotation of homosexuality.

It is my understanding that the despicable Epstein was obsessed with girls, not boys. But I could be wrong.

Cheers, regards, and thanks again!

Uncle Al

@Nana1,
Ya did it again! You picked Harold Lloyd (currently and retrospectively dead, since 1971) when you meant Norman Lloyd… but you gotta pick ‘im!

Given that my picks seem to live forever, I’ll go with Nichelle Nichols. I’ve got to get a list of rotten people to pick from….

Waaaay late to the party…can I pick the entire Squad? No? Hmmmm…what to do? What to do? Omar or Tlaib?

Okay I’ll go with crazy Rashida Harbi Tlaib.

Uncle Al:

I yield to the OED. My online confirmation of the term said it involved a sexual attraction to children 15-18 [Tanner stages 3-4] by either sex, and hebephilia was attraction to pubescent children 11-14 [Tanner stages 2-3] by either sex.

Should have checked my daughter’s Compact OED.

Subotai Bahadur

@Uncle Al…Subotai Bahadur is also known for coining the acronym TWANLOC which is currently driving the news cycle.

Re: TWANLOC – Well done, Subotai Bahadur, sir.

Re: OED – It must have been about 20 years ago that I purchased the most expensive piece of software I ever got: the Oxford English Dictionary on CD-ROM. It was something over $400. It was the best, most useful and satisfying software purchase I’ve ever made. I particularly like that it keeps tabs on the clipboard so all I have to do is select/copy and alt-tab to OED (which is always open on my computer) and the entry is right there.

$400-ish is very inexpensive compared to the print editions. I’m not even sure Oxford Press still sells it now that they’ve gone the subscription route.

Right, then…(Is this thing actually on? Really?…Wondrous!)

I shall simply re-iterate, once again, my prior intent and statement (sort-of…), To Wit: Janey-insaney Fonda, ol’ Red-Pants Herownself – step lively, there, an’ Meet Thy Doom! (after a manner of speaking, like) You cannot escape your fully-justified Fate! C’mon, Janey-gal, be a good li’l witch an’ bite the dust…or, alternatively, just bite the bullet…You can do it, deary – much, much better folkses than yerself turn-toes-up all day long, and half the night…So: Croak It, bee-yatch – Do us all a solid, an’ win ol’ J.S. a prize, whilst I can still appreciate the “honor” of the thing…

Ah, well – Failing that, let’s at least have Notorious R.B.G. admit to assuming less-than-room-temp, anyway.

Paul Krassner, the counterculture satirist who coined the term “Yippie,” has died at 87. http://tinyurl.com/y2zxsnvj

Uncle Al:
1) Thanks for the compliment. I created TWANLOC actually about a decade ago, and it caught on in the political blogosphere. And yes, sadly it is becoming accurately current.

2) Compact OED. Long ago when one of my daughters was in middle school we were browsing the book section of the local Salvation Army, and we encountered a hardbound compact OED. They wanted $50 for it.

How often do you ever see a 7th grade girl begging [literally] for an OED? Yeah, she’s my kid. I got it for her, she still has it, and she still uses it.

Subotai Bahadur

I’m old, give a break! I just can’t seem to get it through my brain it’s Norman and not Harold. Norman Lloyd, Norman Lloyd, Norman Lloyd. There, maybe it’ll stick for the next round.

@Nana1,
Here’s hoping Norman Lloyd won’t last until “the next round.”

Crap. One of my musical heroes has passed.
RIP Art Neville.

Am I scooping the news? Can I choose Erdogan of Turkey?

I’m goin’ out on a limb here and say platypuss is gonna be our next dick winner….

RIP Rutger Hauer

Dammit! *shakes tiny fist of fury at spunkus for poaching the RINO king’s mater*

@Ric…suppose he said “Now it’s time to die”?

Jeffrey Edward Epstein, who has been denied bail.

Sooo Close! Note to Hillary – sure income is down these days, but Arkancide is no place to save money on staff

So very, very late to the party this time. I’m going with Bernie Sanders. The old commie bastard has to die sometime, right?

Awww, nobody had the horrible racist hack Toni Morrison.
I mean racist in the literal sense not the current “I disagree with you” sense.

Holy Shit!

We have a winner.

Deborah HH for win with Epstein?

Congrats to Deborah HH !!

It’s great to win the Celebrity Dead Pool AND rid the world of a complete scumbag at one time!

Wait, no one had Glenn Campbell this time? Then Epstein’s surprising suicide it is. Shocked we are….

Congratulations, Deborah HH! Your winner was such a loser.

Next up: Ghislaine Maxwell

But I don't think she'll still be alive come next Friday.

Hello, Conchi!
Glenn Campbell died August 8, 2017…

We’re past that year now….

Congrats, Deborah! Apparently hanging yourself in jail (while on suicide watch, no less!) is equal to shooting fish in a barrel,

Perhaps a cautious delay in paying the dick is in order, stoatie. There’s betting money on the possibility that Epstein isn’t dead, but was spirited away to keep him alive to testify about some Very Important and Frantic People.

I’m of the opinion that he’s probably dead, but there is just a bit of reasonable doubt.

This gives new meaning to the term “assisted suicide.”

So you’re saying he’s “mostly dead”, Uncle Al?

@p2 – Mostly dead? No, that suggests something like Schrödinger’s kiddie diddler. But if the “authorities” are to be believed (Hah!), somebody looked in the box high-security ultra-safe suicide-proof cell and the quantum state equation collapsed into a collapsed dead body.

Occam’s razor usually strongly deprecates so-called conspiracy theories, but this is a special case. A conspiracy by powerful perverts to murder Epstein is simpler than all that would have had to take place for Epstein to kill himself in that location. Also simpler is a conspiracy to spirit Epstein away, in good physical health, and lie about his death. Purpose: make Jeffie spill the beans.

I dunno. But I do know that govt spokes-slugs are always deceitful.
