Dead Pool 181: Fall back edition
Yahya Sinwar has copped it and nbc has won Round 180.
If you haven’t seen the footage of his last moments on earth, it’s creepy as hell. They sent a drone into the building to see who was still alive and he chucks a stick at it. It has such a weird scifi vibe.
Maybe it’s the way the drone turns away when the stick comes at it, like it didn’t want to get hit in the face.
His graphic death photos show a considerably more rubbly room, so I guess they must have thrown a grenade at him first. Brrr.
Enough of that. Let’s talk about something cheery, like who dies next.
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.

Peanut Farmer, Terrible POTUS, but not as bad as the present VPOTUS.
Jimmy, prove you love Rosalynn and go to HE Double Hockey Sticks to see her.
We know your Family wants you to be remembered gracefully but that shipped sailed a long time ago.

@swease, the way I heard it, the IDF happened to see three men running between buildings during a routine patrol. They lobbed a grenade and wounded them as they scattered in different directions. Watching where they went. They sent a drone into an already bombed out building that one of the perps ran into. The video purports to show Sinwar, missing his right hand (blood dripping down the chair) before he swings and misses with the stick. Moments later a tank took him out. It definitely left a mark…

My usual the odious Bill Gates. I’m sure if I win ol’ Billy will be travelling to the Gates of HE double hockey sticks just like Jimmy.
If I can’t win, I hope thefritz does!

I nominate Alan Greenspan, in fit of irrational exuberance while being denied marital congress by Angria Mitchell.

I will stay with Keith Richards of The Rolling Stones. I know that the Devil is busy these days, but he can’t keep Keith on hold forever.

Once again I pick Louis “An Angel ‘checked my oil’ on The Lord’s spaceship” Walcott, AKA Farrakhan. He’s a violence instigating, unapologetically racist, insane fükknob of an excuse for a human being; he has overstayed his welcome on the planet.

The IDF is being helpful, so I will take advantage by picking an infamous terrorist living in Lebanon:
Kōzō Okamoto – one of the three gunmen the Japanese Red Army loaned to the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine for the 1972 Lod Airport massacre. The other two were KIA. Okamoto got a life sentence but was released in a prisoner exchange. One guesses he’s somewhere in Hezbollahstan, which is not a safe neighborhood these days.
