Dead Pool Round 147: it’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas
BullDawgGuy takes another one with Bob Dole.
Good old Bob Dole. Just think: he probably lost to Clinton because Dole was regarded as too old at 73. That’s like the median age for megalomaniac pols these days. Nancy Pelosi has panties older than 73.
It’s cold and I have a hot water bottle with my name on it, so let’s get down to business, shall we? On your mark…
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.

Ooh, so close. OK, I’m torn this time. I was really thinking the Notorious BIG himself, Bert I. Gordon. But I’m going with soccer legend Pelé. To this day, the only soccer guy I’ve ever heard of.

I’ll stay with Prince Edward, Duke of Kent, he’s looking mighty frail, but then as compared to his Cuz, is a mere whippersnapper at 86.
