Dead Pool 194: get ready for spring edition
Jesse Jackson. Gosh. Not much to say and stay within the bounds of good taste, except congratulations to RimrockR.
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.

Soooo tempted by the plethora of worthy candidates, but I’m going to stay with one I find most worthy: Louis “I had Celestial sodomy on a magic flying saucer” Walcott, aka Farrakhan. A slime spewing, vitriol ranting, race-baiting, minister of lies that deserves a painful, foul, and long-suffering demise. Preferably screaming.

Raúl Castro
“…stepped down as secretary-general of the party at the Eighth Congress of the Communist Party of Cuba in April 2021, saying that he was retiring with a sense of having “fulfilled his mission and confident in the future of the fatherland.”
Time for Raúl to take another step down… to Hell. Hopefully the loss of the last figurehead will finally topple the regime (along with the fact they aren’t getting any more Russian, Chinese, or Venezuelan iol or money).

Prince Andrew, or perhaps more accurately the Andrew formerly known as Prince to either shut him up from saying things inconvenient to those in power, or just the vicissitudes of incarceration.

With all of the judicious selections preceding mine, I feel it a requirement that I not lose the much anticipated extinguishment of life forces accompanying:
Alan Greenspan.
He’s married to Angria Mitchell, you know…

A couple of my regular picks are already poached, so I’m going to go way out and pick Keith Richards. Maybe the end times are upon us now.

I’m sorry to read that his dementia has progressed to where he doesn’t know he has dementia. It won’t be long now, and when the time comes, sir, I hope you Die Easy. Oh, and thanks for The Fifth Element in particular and all the good laughs.

Somebody pick John Brennan. That f*cker needs to die. Hopefully the criminal referral will raise his blood pressure and stress level and the motherf^cker will stroke out. Just so there is no ambiguity, I have hated this traitorous f*ck since I found out he voted for the Commie presidential candidate in 1976. HE IS THE DEEP STATE.

This time I am going with Elisabeth Waldo (b. 1918, 106 or 107yo): Violinist, composer, and conductor, often cited as the oldest living Hollywood-connected celebrity.
Yeah, I had to look her up. I couldn’t think of anyone else that I haven’t picked already.
DRUMROLL, please!

|| Yeah, I had to look her up. I couldn’t think of anyone else that I haven’t picked already.
I did that for years with Juli Lynn Charlot, actress, singer, inventress of the poodle skirt. She had the audacity to die (at 101!) the one time I didn’t pick her.
In honor of his 97th birthday, I’ll pick the mighty James Hong!
He’s actually looking good, but then so’s Dick Van Dyke.

Bob Mulroy is awaiting confirmation of Israel’s intel reporting the Ayatollah is now worm food.

I suppose there will be some who’ll demand DNA confirmation, but there are reports all over the place now that Khamenei is confirmed to be dead, dead, dead.
Dead is good. Dead, dead, dead is three times better.
However, this just in:
Boasberg orders resurrection of Khamenei.

Or as Damon Runyon once put it, “exceptionally deceased”.

soooooo, can’t wait for Friday’s Dead Pool and the race to see who snags son of Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, Mojtaba Khamenei, recently chosen as the new Supreme Leader of Iran, as their pick. Being just Tuesday, it most likely will be moot….
