Round 46: man, that’s a lot of dicks!
Davem123 wins dick with…some…guy. Honestly, you people and your sports thingies. You’re the reason I could never win at Trivial Pursuits.
Okay, let’s hope this next round has some traction, because I’m, like, five dicks behind at this point.
Ready?
Okay then!
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.
The prize? Dick! Dick! Dick! Dick!

Comment from Subotai Bahadur
Time: February 22, 2013, 7:17 pm
This may be a bit long, so please bear with me. Here in Colorado, the Democrat-controlled legislature and governor are pushing through a series of “gun control” bills on party line votes designed to ultimately lead to firearms confiscation by taxation. One of the bills involved the revocation of the previously legal licensed concealed carry by permit holders on college campuses. Note that in the decade that it was legal, there were a number of legitimate uses of concealed weapons to prevent rapes and robberies and no, repeat no, crimes committed by permit holders.
The debates on the revocation bill included testimony by Democrat Representative Joe Salazar [D-Thornton] that women were too emotionally unstable to know when they were threatened, and would pull out their guns and start shooting wildly.
There was testimony by Democrat Paul Rosenthal [D-Denver] who stated that women would be safe from rape and not need guns if they just traveled by the “buddy system”.
There was the simultaneous release by the Democrat controlled administration of the University of Colorado system of rape prevention tips that included victims telling the assailant that they had an STD, that they were on their period, and to throw up on them.
But as a father of daughters who went to college, I have to substitute a proxy for all those idiots and more. Democratic National Committee campaign strategist Bob Beckel was on Fox News and the discussion of the Colorado statements above came up. His response was, “When was the last time you heard of a woman being raped on a college campus?”.
Do I get two dicks if Beckel’s demise involves a railway sleeper tie wrapped in razor-wire?

Subotai Bahadur – Even for one such as I who has nothing but the deepest contempt for all save a very few politicians, Beckel’s question is mind-bogglingly provocative, as well as both stupid and ignorant. I’d be delighted if his demise won you the dick this round, even more than I’d be if my papal pick turned out to be the winner.

I defer my pick this round to Subatoi Bahadar. God sped your choice to a horrific last few moments of life, where he will hopefully be fully aware of his impending demise and feel every second of gut wrenching pain until he doesn’t for the rest of his life.
And in answer to his blather:
Twenty-five percent of American college males admitted to sexual coercion in some form.[1] Another study done by the National Institute of Justice estimated that one-fifth to one-fourth of women in college are victims of sexual assault.[2] The differences of statistics maybe due to reporting and research techniques. Alcohol plays a large role in date, acquaintance, party, and gang rape.
