Round 32: Jubilee edition

Round 31: little, little named Doc Watson and was sad to be right. And so say all of us.

Let us hope an utter ratbag takes Round 32 and cheers us up.

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.

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 it gets here!

I wanna take either “Payoff” Jesse Jackson or “Buyable” Al Sharpton…but…I take…

George Zimmerman, Innocent Man®, who is getting railroaded by the Corey Gang and the RaceBaiters Club® back into jail.

Bond revoked, on account of he has a “defense” fund and the greedy assed State wants some more cash from a guy who is not a flight risk, who turned himself in, and disclosed the fund’s charitable amount to his lawyer, who has it in a trust for…”DEFENSE!!!”

But scrunt Corey, and her greedy assed state a-holes simply must make things harder, and make defense more difficult, or Tampon Martin doesn’t get the “justice” Jesse, Al, Louie Parraquat and company clamor for. “Let’s hijack his defense fund for bail! Great idea: we must be assholes…”

this is a first rate hit-job. And the shit-hole State of Florida knew about the fund weeks ago. And only now, on a Friday, decides this guy can’t have funds to defend himself: he might avoid getting railroaded.

Can’t have that, can we? Not gonna have another Duke Rape Fiasco in the Suckmine State. Nope.

God, If I never set foot in that rancid shit-hole again after this screwing over of an innocent man, it’ll be a day too soon.

Sorry about the rant.

‘Kay, lessee…who’s not taken just yet?…(Abe Vigoda is still alive? – does he know that? Or is he somehow just fakin’ it?)

I’ll go with Larry King – sucker’s gotta go sometime, what with all those ex-wives and such. Plus, every time I see him, he looks a little more like “his food’s not doin’ him much good”, as an elderly aunt used to say.

Personally, I’m sorta rooting for Hugo to be next in the barrel, though – as observed above, after Doc Watson’s last chord this past week, a really deserving inDUHvidual should righteously be next.

BTW, SomeVeg, that’s “gonorrhea” – if you’re going to wish someone affliction with a nasty STD, you want to get the spelling right, or the curse might not take, y’know? – and yes, she richly deserves it.

Anyhow, just make sure the charm takes, I’m betting on Jane Fonda to die of untreatable gonorrhea… no doubt picked up from some pool boy in a third-world country like say, Vietnam? However I’m sure her obituary will claim that she got it from sitting on an unwashed seat of an anti-aircraft gun.

Gotta feelin’ that all the good cardiologists have fled across the pond. I’m seeing one of ’em. Were I Tawny, I’d be shopping for champagne or good scotch now.

Sucks for you, Hosni. But I got my dick! And a sweet weasel.

Thanks, Stoaty!

Hosni’s still living on the edge. Or playing Schrödinger’s Dictator, if you will.

Leroy Neiman has gone on to paint the Choir Invisible at 91. I was never a big fan of his style of art, but he *was* very good at it.

Hosni was dead a couple of days ago, but he’s feeling much better now. Moral: Beware prison bathrooms.

So getting cornholed in an Egyptian prison is now called “slipping in the shower” I see.

This 71 year old man suffered a mild heart attack on Saturday and might go on Dead Pool watchlists everywhere, as a result.

Who is ‘Alex Trebek’?

I’m seeing reports that Andy Griffith has moved on to the Mayberry In the Sky. S2 has the pick.

Yay, a bad one bit the dust. Fucking commie bastard commercial maker, to bad he didn’t stick around long enough to get to use oblowmetax. Or maybe he’s the first recipient of the death panel!

I didn’t even know Griffith was sick.

It pays to be one of these old Israeli Jews. They survived the Holocaust, survived countless wars, smoked like chimneys, and don’t kick the bucket until they are in their high 90s or even over a 100.

It’s confirmed now? For a while, Twitter was calling it a false alarm.

Right, then. Pool closed. See you Friday.
