Valerie Harper

Nancy Reagan…..who is quite apt to do herself in upon news of Jane Fonda portraying her in some new movie!!

Zsa Zsa Gabor

I’m sticking with Fidel while I can get him.

I’d guess most here have not heard of Pran (born Pran Krishan Sikand), but he is one of the most famous and prolific actors of Bollywood, has earned lots of awards, and has been in something like 361 films since his debut in 1940 at the age of 20.

If he’s too obscure for you, Stoatie, then I’ll go with my usual David Rockefeller, Sr.

Erich Priebke

Robert Mugabe

Nelson Mandela since Jonathan Winters didn’t have the sense to wait for the dead pool to start . . .

Rosalyn Carter

BTW: Jonathan Winters passed away earlier today. He was 87.

Jonathan Winters! – oops, too late.
Abe Vigoda then. I don’t think it will actually happen, but I’m tired of waiting for someone to bump off Assad.

Noted bedlamite George Galloway

Sticking with Kirk Douglas.

Wilko Johnson – Game of Thrones star, guitarist in band Dr. Feelgood.

Christy Dignam – front man for Irish rock band, Aslan

As per usual, Red-Ditz Janey Insaney Fonda –

Preferably from an over-pressure of some sort that explodes her mostly-empty skull, but any means would serve, really…

C’mon, Janey – turn toes, and begin to assume room temperature. You ‘specially deserve to go, now that you’ve apparently been so hypocritical as to attempt to portray (in a movie) Nancy Reagan, your political and social opposite – and superior – in all important respects.

Kermit Gosnell

Muhamad ALI once again!

Carol Channing

Jimmy Carter.

Ed Asner

Kim Jong-Un, the young Sydney Greenstreet of North Korea. I apologize to the estate of Mr. Greenstreet for making that comparison.

Jim Wright – Former Speaker of the House.

Senator Frank Lautenberg.

A brand-new pick: Yasuhiro Nakasone, former Prime Minister of Japan.

Luise Rainer for the pic.

I hadn’t heard of him, Uncle Al, but I’ll accept him. I have a sneaking fondness for Bollywood.

tom leher

Norman Lear

Ariel Sharon

Fred Phelps, as always.

Thank you, your royal mustelidness! I’m fond of Bollywood, too – minimum of artsy-fartsy and maximum of fun, music, dance, and melodrama. And Pran has played a big part in it all (pun intended). I wish him well, but he is after all 93 years old.

…and if anybody else wins after picking the now-eligible 97-year-old Rockefeller, I’ll be both peeved and pleased. Peeved because I’ve picked him many times only to have him continue to misuse oxygen; pleased because I’d very much like to see the nasty old bahstid dead.

Here is some Dead Pool history analysis of the bag so far.

By category:

Stage & screen – 15
Politics – 11
Sports – 9
Music – 4
Terrorism – 3
Crime – 2
News – 2
Architecture – 1
Religion – 1

Natural deaths – 45
Violent deaths – 3

No deaths by accident or overdose.

By nationality:

U.S. – 40
UK – 2 (includes Christopher Hitchens)
Korea – 2
Libya – 2
Spain – 1
Saudi Arabia – 1

(I don’t get this. I’ve made 22 non-U.S. picks out of 47, and others have been consistently picking foreigners. Castro and Chavez have been immensely popular. Quite a few elderly Brits have been named.)

Peter Sallis, voice of the animated Wallace from Wallace and Gromit films. Not that I wish him harm, but he is 92 years of age.

Helen Thomas

That old crone Helen Thomas …

LOL

My alternate pick, in case I need it, is Hugh “There, Right There, Just Like That…” Hefner

Jeeze Rich. It’s only a dead pool.

You should turn your genius toward picking lotto numbers.

Tony Bennett, for the virtual dick!

Rich’s work deserves props. First of all, its clearly more dangerous to be an American than any other nationality. Or at least clearly better to choose an American to be the next croakee!

Second, who’d have thunk natural death was so prevalent, given what we on TV and read in the papers? I thought there was far more violence going on. Maybe I don’t need all those cases of ammo?

But, I WAS disappointed there were no stats on gender or race. I mean, how can we tell if we’re being race and gender neutral in our choices?

I’ll still go with John McCain but now thanks to tomfrompv I’m worried my choice isn’t race and gender neutral.

Michael Moore, as per usual.

Danny Bonaduce

2nd on the props for Rich. Stats be good.
The Grim Reaper doesn’t appear to be race neutral, depending upon the ‘hood.

Correction:

Natural deaths – 44 (-1)
Violent deaths – 4 (+1)

(I forgot Chris Dorner.)

Another correction:

U.S. – 39 (-1)
Brazil – 1 (Oscar Niemeyer)

Thenkyew.

Ask and ye shall receive.

Male – 40
Female – 8

White – 38
Black – 4
Arab – 4
East Asian – 2

1 “Hispanic” – Seve Ballesteros.
1 other “latino” – Niemayer.

No Africans, Indians, Chinese, or Russians.

The world is sufficiently overfull of ambulatory anal orifi, that the dead pool is a target rich environment. I was going to switch from my previous pick of Governor Hickenlooper to the 16 Republican senators who yesterday gave away the 2nd Amendment to the Democrats. However, I have been forced to narrow things down. Speaker of the House, technically Republican, John Boehner; for saying that he might pass both abolishment of the 2nd Amendment and of our borders in concert with the Democrats over the objection of the majority Republican caucus.

Comment from Rich Rostrom
Time: April 12, 2013, 9:45 pm

says that 44 of the previous picks died of natural causes and 4 violently. If Boehner dies of flesh-eating AIDS as I hope, how is that classified?

Subotai Bahadur

Ms Weasel, I lurve me some Bollywood! Have you seen Monsoon Wedding? It’s not your typical Bollywood, but a very fine film indeed.

If Boehner dies of flesh-eating AIDS as I hope, how is that classified?

The technical classification would be “Other: Well Deserved”

Eli Wallach

Bob Schiefer

Okay, Uncle Al, I’ll take your old standby, and maybe get lucky. Rockefeller it is!

Thanks, Rich Rostrom, that was really quiet interesting!

John “Die Already!” Dingell, D(unce) – Michigan.

HRH Prince Phillip

Gonna be boring.

Lindsey Lohan

She’s in need of another PR fix, and she tends to get ’em violently…

Mew

Since I forgot about the dead pool, again, I’ll settle for Chrissy Matthews.

But my bet for winner is CoyoteKhan with Lautenberg.
He was too sick (or too already dead) to make an anti-gun vote this week. Banning guns has been a obsession of his for at least 30 years.

Back to my old stand by Mickey Rooney

George Soros. Sooner or later Satan is going to be sick of that evil meat puppet.

I’m picking Tom Lehrer. I found out that his birthday is the day after mine, so he’s one day less than 30 years older than me. I hope I never win. 🙂

I would happily lose……

Pope Emeritus Benedict.

I’ll take Jesse Jackass Jackson sr and jr, and throw in Louis Farrakhan for good measure. I would have taken Cher or Mickey Rourke but theyre both cockroaches and will live forever, most likely.

Orson Bean….. the original Mr Bean…..

Actress, Marsha Hunt

Desmond Tutu

Certifiable loon Dennis Kucinich. He makes me think of anime at it’s worst.

Schumer the tumor, Senator from NY

still with Joan Fontaine.

William Shatner

David Letterman, because he made LiLo cry. Not really because I don’t care. Just don’t like him.

So we’re clearly not picking enough women to die. Or Hispanics. In honor of the Quota, I therefore choose the wise Latina: Sonia Sotomayor.

She’s only 58, quite chubby, and appears to be in fine health. But there is always that bus….

Pete Seeger

Harry Belafonte since Betty White just seems too sprite

Bashir Assad. Again. They’ll do a Gadhafi on him one of these days, I just know it…

Bob Dole.

Al Molinaro

The Chicago Machine still needs to make room for the First Wookie to run in 2016. I’m taking Hillary Clinton, Vince Foster style.

Cindermutha sniped my normal pick (Soros). *tips hat* Good on you CM, I was late to the post.

Okay, for this round I pick: Stan Lee
President and Chairman of Marvel Comics.

Please, God, send The Bastard in America’s White House to Hell, just so he can enjoy what he has planned for the rest of us, and to have the fun of seeing Joey Plugs become First Fool.

May the Eye of Sauron fix upon your pick, twolaneflash!

Hosni Mubarak…….

Can’t believe he’s still hanging on…..maybe soon he’ll be hanging……

If they can find a judge to try and convict him that is.

Lumpy has left the Beav.

Olivia de Havilland.

“She’s namin’ that Indian baby after me!”

Once more into the fray: Mikhail Kalashnikov.

Still one of my all time favs – Leave It to Beaver. Caught one last month. Big date for Wally. Was debating the country club, as he’d heard it was expensive. Coffee was 25¢!

Amanda Bynes – Chick has been losing her sh!t lately.

Ramsey Clark will be a nice addition in the Lake of Fire.

I’ve been away all weekend and can’t believe no one has the Queen yet!?

Awright!…not wishing Her Majesty any ill will just get get the dick or anything.

HRH Queen Elizabeth II

Ronnie Biggs. Late again.

Do I have to give a name now? How about some stupid prog, to be named later, who does something stupid demonstrating against Thatcher on Wednesday, which results in their death?

Redd:

…some stupid prog…

How about Tony Blair? (-:

How about that rat bastard that bombed the Marathon? Can he die?

Please. Painfully.

Late as usual, but will go with Mary Tyler Moore. And I second Nina on the rat bastard. Please, painfully.

If ex-PMs are falling off the perch, then maybe Gordon Brown will do me and the world a favour and follow suit.

No one had Pat Summerall?

Elmore Leonard

Doris Day

Jerry Lewis.

Tony Bennett

Damn, one of my old picks, George Beverly Shea, carked it yesterday. Sigh. Okay then. Gimme Ray Harryhausen.

of Rockford Files fame……..

James Gardner…..

Garner, I think. But he’s yours, anyway.

Okay, I’m going to put out Keir Dullea, the star of “2001: A Space Odyssey”. Okay, HAL was the real star, but I don’t know how to enter a heuristically programmed algorithmic computer. Besides, I think he died near the end of the movie anyway.

Hickenlooper in a very public accident with a gerbil.

Dick van Dyke

Dzhokar Tsarnaev of lead poisoning – may he rot in hell

Come to think of it, I can’t think of any reason not to allow that pick. He’s on the run, so it’s not like he’s got an execution date. And I’m sure they’d like to catch him alive.

So…okay.

Richie Havens, first artist to play a Woodstock, has passed

http://music.yahoo.com/blogs/stop-the-presses/richie-havens-first-artist-play-woodstock-dead-72-215941902.html

Allan Arbus died. He was 95. Looked great. A couple of years ago I saw him in something and couldn’t believe he was still alive and kicking. But alas, no more… Still, he had a long life.

^This was actually me. That’s what I get for imbibing while Dead Pool pickin’. 🙁

Chrissy Amphlett has touched herself for the last time (thinking about me, if you believe her song).

George Jones stopped loving everybody, today.

http://tasteofcountry.com/george-jones-dead/

No more George Jones. I understand he’ll be missed… and that I can’t pick him now.

Mew

Stark, I had actually just typed out that exact comment, then I saw your entry…

Tom Knapp, exhibition shotgun speed shooter, has passed away.

Youtube has plenty of videos of this guy shooting.

Judge Ruth Bader Ginsberg

Judge Ruth Based Ginsberg

Chris Kelly of “Kris Kross” fame has died at 34

One of my former picks, Jeff Hanneman – guitarist and one of the founders of the band Slayer – has died of complications of a 2011 spider bite. Nasty spider, I guess.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jeff_Hanneman

Mew

See, spiders aren’t all bad!

Did anyone have Ray Harryhausen? RIP
http://www.hollywood.com/news/celebrities/55012302/ray-harryhausen-dies

I had ’em.

Jeanne Cooper, of “Young & the Restless” fame has left us. RIP.

Come back Friday, RushBabe. New pool a-starting.

Jesse Ventura
