Round 16: you can slow down a bit, Mister Reaper

Tawny takes it with Jeff Conaway — to become the second double dick recipient in the history of the Dead Pool (steve is the other). Let’s hope this round lasts long enough to update the sidebar; it’s, like, three rounds behind.

Right! Here we go:

1. Pick a celebrity. Any celebrity — though I reserve the right to nix picks I never heard of.

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?

5. It’s up to you to search the thread and make sure your choice is unique. I’m waayyyy too lazy. 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 don’t want the fabulous prize, you’re too smart to be a regular. It takes me forever to put them in the mail, packages go by slow boat, typically take minimum eight to ten weeks and lose the will to live along the way.

8. The new DeadPool will begin 6pm WBT (Weasel’s Blog Time) the Friday after the last round is concluded.

The fabulous prize? Sweasel dot com’s unofficial sponsor, Aunty’s Spotted Dick! Mmmmm…it’s dickalicious!

Rich Rostrom: you’d think shame would have killed Hobsbawm decades ago but alas, no. I hate the way vile, unapologetic Communists of a certain age are venerated as loveable elder statesmen. Tony Benn shouldn’t be a natural treasure; he should be burnt at the stake. If he wore a swastika armband and attended SS reunions he wouldn’t be given such respect, but his continued adherence to an anti-human, barbaric, provably wicked creed is unpunished. Why are repulsive International Socialists not visited with the same contumely as National Socialists?

Does anyone have Tony Benn in the Pool? I might switch from Gordon the Fuckwit next time around. Ah well, at least that donkey-jacketed Comsymp fucker Michael Foot has had the good grace to drop dead.

Actually, thefritz, it was because you followed the sidebar link. That goes to an ancient version of the Dead Pool (I haven’t updated it since they’ve been turning over so fast). I said something to you on the thread, but I didn’t have much hope you’d come by and read it.

By way of apology, one time only, you can pick someone and then kill him or her and it’ll count. Even?

I’m with you on that one, DG! The greatest irony is that Benn is held up as a champion of yoof kultur.

But it was the communist Benn who, in possibly the most unsuccessful ministerial career since WWII, championed the closure of the pirate radio station movement in the 1960s.

He’s no more down there wiv da yoof than was Joesf Goebbels.
