Dead Pool 190: Happy Halloween!

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.

Of course the DOJ may get him first. Either way he’s going to pay the price for his crimes to humanity.

Because of reports of his worsening prostate cancer, Joe Biden is the one.

Since our political Left has made violence and assassination attempts more the norm here I can’t narrow things down, so I will pick someone from your side of the Pond. Andrew Mountbatten Windsor, formerly known as Prince.

Again I select Louis “I got my oil checked the hard way by God on his flying saucer!” Walcott AKA Farrakhan. Repugnant manipulator of words, facts, and vile inciter of violence, antisemitism, and other racism and terrorism. He needs to shuffle off this mortal coil, and by shuffle I mean get hit by a bus or perhaps self-immolate.

Okay, I’m really digging for this one – I’m picking Joe Dorsey, supporting character actor (War Games, The Longest Yard, Grizzly), born 1/15/32 or 1/15/25 (93yo or 100yo).

I’ve already made my pick or I’d be grabbing Scott Adams. President Trump has stepped in to get Scott access to a new prostate cancer drug, but Scott was in poor shape just yesterday. I sincerely hope the drug works and we can enjoy Mr. Adams’ witty snark (and snarky wit) for a good long while yet.

Well, well…persistence payed off. Climbing the Dick ladder, one dick at a time…Going to need Rich Rostrum’s excellent bookkeeping to reminds me if this is #7 or 8.

Still pretty amazing that Cheney lasted 11 years with a borrowed heart…

thefritz: “Going to need Rich Rostrum’s excellent bookkeeping to reminds me if this is #7 or 8.”

#8.

39 (Arlen Specter)
54 (Nelson Mandela)
121 (Beth Chapman)
124 (Valerie Harper)
145 (Ruthie Tompson)
172 (Henry Kissinger)
190 (Dick Cheney)

Carl has 11; LavenderGirl has 9.

And that’s Rostrom. (My sore toe. I spell everyone else’s name correctly.)

My apologies Rich, however you qualify for the miss spelled definition of your last name. You do speak from an elevated pulpit…

Beware: more than one link in a comment is apt to earn you a trip to the spam filter, where you will remain -- cold, frightened and alone -- until I remember to clean the trap. But, hey, without Akismet, we'd be up to our asses in...well, ass porn, mostly.
