Dead Pool 191: Well, that was quick
Thefritz wins it with Dick Cheney. Wasn’t that old, wasn’t that sick. Good call, thefritz.
I just realized I published the last Dead Pool without any commentary at the beginning – who won and with whom. I should fix that. Yes, I definitely need to get around to that.
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.

I suspect that the new Mayor of New York City, Mamdani, may have a limited future. As NYC finds itself ankle deep [while being in head first] in organic waste the Apparat of the Party is going to be looking for a) someone to take the blame, and b) a martyr.

My way-out-in-left-field pick is Guillermo Rodríguez, President of Ecuador from 1972 to 1976. OK, so he’s not exactly a hot news sleb, but he IS a former head of state. Um, specifically, a coup-heading military dictator. He also just had his 102nd birthday.
Full name for the record: Guillermo Antonio Rodríguez Lara

YIKES! Stuck in a no-tech zone, wringing my hands that I got poached; thankfully not.
So I continue with Louis “proctological games with starship Seraphim” Walcott AKA Farrakhan. He is a repugnant wart on the ass of humanity. Get off our rock hurtling through space already.
