Dead Pool round 188: Thick and fast!
Chuck Mangione. Hulk Hogan. Malcolm-Jamal Warner. Gromulin takes it with Ozzy Osborne.
Weird. Ozzy had a FaceBook page. That just doesn’t seem right, does it?
Are we 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. 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.
Note: I am woefully behind on dick deliveries. If I owe you one, you’ll know how long. I ain’t gived up, but I haven’t drawn much since lockdown. Some day, your heirs might hear from my heirs.

Bruce Willis. Poor guy is failing before our eyes thanks to his family’s need to showcase. If in the unlikely event Bruce is the correct pick,I hope he utters a spirited yippiekyyay as his last words.

I even have a catchy marketing name for it!

Who to pick. Who has not been picked before. Hmmmmm . . .
This time I am going to pick Michael Caine, 92 years old, born March 14, 1933.
I have no bone to pick with Mr. Caine. It’s just that he’s old, I don’t remember seeing his name on the pool before, and I need a ‘fresh’ face.
“I am in so many movies that are on TV at 2:00 a.m. that people think I am dead.” – Michael Caine.
Not yet, Mr. Caine – not yet.

Congrats, Mrs Carl.
With a DeadPool winner happening too late to start a new pool on the same day, we now brave that longest of weeks: A DeadPool Limbo, where we all wait and hope our preferred pick doesn’t kick the bucket before the next DP begins.

Rick Davies, ‘Supertramp’ Co-Founder and Singer, has passed at 81. A few years ago a friend asked me who may favorite band was. It was hard to pick a clear favorite but I chose ‘Supertramp’. ‘Breakfast in America’ and ‘The Logical Song’ are simply musical genius for me. Some of the craziest times of my early college youth was spent rocking out to their awesome hits (thank you Susan Barton!) RIP Mr. Davies.
