Round 38: Fall back


Andy Williams is up Moon River without a paddle, so little, little takes the dick!

For all of you waiting for dick, I am a little behind — okay, a lot behind — in my dick dispensing duties. I have the dicks, I have the envelopes, it’s just a matter of putting the one into the other and getting them to the PO.

Not as easy as it sounds. I’m not allowed to use the pointy scissors, so I have to wait until nobody’s looking.

Right! 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!

Self-proclaimed “proud-liberal Muslim” activist [and commentator on MSNBC and CNN] Mona Eltahawy who was arrested for vandalizing a pro-Israel poster on a NYC subway. While trying to cover it up with spray paint, and attacking a woman who was defending the poster, she was screaming that it was her First Amendment right to destroy anything she did not agree with.

Preferably dying from being stuffed in a Burqa and huffing paint.

Holy licavoli (whatever that means!) – got here (more-or-less) on time, for once. Sorry, Some Veg – that means I’m takin’ Insaney Janey Fonda (maybe run over by a Honda?…) for the Weener!!

Congrats to little, little – even though I guess it means the bear finally gets his cookie (a li’l inside-humor for Andy Williams’ TeeVee fans of old, there…)

If I get the win this round, I’ll go for Mickey Moore-On, The Fat Fake From Flint (MI) hereafter, and try to score a double-elimination on The Fabulous Freaks Of Socialist/Communist Fraud In America – how ’bout that for a follow-up?

Okaaaaaaaay Mr. Bridges… you have taken Jane Fonda…… this time. You put me in a difficult position. I don’t want you to be the one to have the glory of collecting on that “American, Traitor, Bitch” but I just can’t bring myself to wish for her continued good health – even for my personal self interest- nor for a period as long as, say, a week.

So, here’s hoping you win!

Time for a change of pick for the dick. My whimsical picks are temporarily suspended.

I am redirecting the cane-rattling threats and bravado that I received this week and channeling it into purified vitriol directed at my pick, their leader: Calypso Louie / Louis Wolcott, AKA Louis Farrakhan.

I can’t help but think of the guy who was supposedly 115 years old, and when some government guys visited to give him some award, they discovered he’d been dead 20 years and the family was just collecting his pension.

I won once and felt bad because it was someone I didn’t want to die. Asner? I don’t want him to die, but I will care less about him dying than about the million other people who will die on the same day.

Why do I have a feeling I’ll be explaining S. Weasel’s Dead Pool to someone with a long beard and halo after I die? Steve Sabol died last week and the first thing I thought when I saw it was, “Bastids, why didn’t they tell me he was dying so I could win the Dead Pool!”
