Round 35: Dog Days Edition


Pablo takes Round 34 with…a…sports figure of some description. Really, I don’t follow these things.

Hey, a dick is a dick. Fair and square.

Ready?

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!

George Soros.

1) He is 80 plus and just married a woman half his age. Strain on the heart.
2) According to SEC reports, he just bought $300 million worth of Facebook stock. Which is tanking. Gotta at least tick him off a bit. Strain on the heart.
3) His wholly owned subsidiary, the Democratic Party, is having trouble distracting the citizenry from the Depression with the phrase, “Look, Squirrel!“; and their public face has become for the moment, Joe Biden. Strain on the heart.

Myocardial Infarction for the Dick.

Ooh, I get in early.

Speaking of the public face of the Democratic Party – or at least a part with cheeks…

I pick Joe Biden.

(Rats. While I was previewing, Bob Mulroy sniped him.)

All right. Out in far left field – that leading light of the Stalin Society, Arthur Scargill.

BTW – for the last ten pools, every other one has been one week:
24 – 1, 24A – 4, 25 – 1, 26 – 12, 27 – 1, 28 – 5, 31 – 1, 32 – 5, 33 – 1, 34 – 5.

So this should go quick. If I win – my Brit friend is coming to Chicago for the World SF Convention and will handle carry the dick.

My pick is Secretary of the Navy Ray Mabus as prophesied by Nostradamus.

Mabus then will soon die, there will come
Of people and beasts a horrible rout:
Then suddenly one will see vengeance,
Hundred, hand, thirst, hunger when the comet will run.

And when the rest of you are suffering from thirst and hunger just imagine me eating Aunty’s Spotted Dick with a satisfied look on my face.

Maybe lil’ Janey’ll step in front of a bus or something, if just being a nasty old “Progressivist” witch doesn’t cause her to kick the bucket realsoonlikerightnow…

I would like to throw in Al Sharpton, processed hair media whore and all around leftist scumbag of astounding proportions. Just because my pale 1/8 Verified high-cheek bone, part Cherokee Indian and European self has a lot of bile built up over time. I’m feeling mighty vindictive.

Hope Al bites it on a half hot dog hastily wolfed down after being snagged from the hand of a retiree on the Jersey Boardwalk.

Call his exit a show, call it “Boardwalk Asshole”. That should about cover my anti-Lib vitriol for now.

complete atrioventricular block and junctional escape rhythm while romping with a bunch of bimbo’s young enough to be his granddaughters.

My, my. An AV Block would be bad, and a person can live long and perspire with a junctional rhythm for decades. An escape junctional can go bad…but a fat boy like Guvner Bubba should have uncontrolled Atrial Fibrillation (regularly irregular, ya see) resulting in a bedside hemorrhage or a big clot in that sweaty ticker of his. That would have him vapor-locking in the act and stiff, literally, by the the time he’s no longer stiff. Think Joe Biden with a purpose and you got it.
