Round 28: (Round 27 we hardly knew ye)
Pablo pulled a fast one with Chuck Colson. And by “pulled a fast one” I mean “showed the sort of quick-witted sneaky gamesmanship worthy of a weasel blog.”
One day. A fast one, but not (by a long shot) the fastest one ever.
Right! Gird your loins.
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.
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?
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 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.
What do we want? Aunty’s dick! When do we want it? When somebody on the list dies!

Round 27: the Summer of Dick
A dick for a dick – FGW wins it with Dick Clark.
Eighty-two. I’d've guessed older. Something about trying to look forever young will do that.
Okay, here we go…!

Round 26: dearth of dicks edition
And the dick goes to — Mr and Mrs Weaselwannabe, who won it with Joe Paterno.
Or they will do. There’s been a run on dick around here. My local supplier put Aunty’s products on sale and has utterly sold out of spotted dicks! So there’s a dearth of dick for the nonce. Cross your fingers, weasels!
No. No, the dick jokes never get old. You don’t even want to know me when it’s time to buy more fat balls.
Okay, here we go…!

Round 25: SUDDEN DEATH EDITION!
Xul takes it with Etta James (you know what to do if you want dick, Xul). With less than an hour to go before 6pm WBT, I pondered whether it was right to start another pool.
What the hell. I’ve sucked this week, anyhow (I finally loaded Skyrim, for cri-yi). Might as well end on a toot. Maybe I can catch some of you Be Prepared types off guard.
Ready?

Round 24: Christmas edition!
Mrs Peel wins it with Kim Jong-il, meaning she has won the Dead Pool twice in a row. This makes Mrs P the kindest, most intelligent, attractive, all-around-terrific blog commenter this weasel has ever had. If she wants any of my stuff, she has but to say the word.
Right! Hit it, Mister Claus:

ATTENTION…!
With Kim Jong Il, she’s just won the Dead Pool. Twice.
In a row.
New Dead Pool next Friday. The ante-penultimate day before Christmas.
Be here. If Mrs Peel spares us.

STOP THE PRESSES!
I really did stop the presses on a magazine once. Well, I spotted the error. The editor made the decision to stop the presses. (No kidding — a period was missing on the end of a sentence in a footnote. Engineers are sooo anal retentive)
Anyhoo, that means the new Dead Pool will be up today, 6pm WBT.
About seven hours from now.
Be here, or be someplace else!

We have a WINNAH!
You know what that means! Join me for the new Dead Pool Friday, 6pm WBT sharp.
Wait, what? That’s day after tomorrow? Oh, man…
Bear with me. Still playing catch-up. Talk amongst yourselves.

ROUND 22: the race for the dick
You know what I hate? When Andy Rooney dies and I can’t remember enough of Andy Rooney’s schtick to do a proper Andy Rooney send-up. Hey, the Seventies was a long time ago! Congratulations to Oh, hell!
Onward and dickward…
