Round 51: Summer At Last edition


So m takes the dick with Frank Lautenberg, the last of the liberal lions. Also, the Senate’s last WWII vet and the last of the “New Deal” liberals.

Also, can we observe a moment of silence for Esther Williams? America’s mermaid. I was a big fan. Don’t judge me.

Now, on to the roolz:

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’ve won before, send me your address again. I don’t keep good records.

8. The new DeadPool will begin 6pm WBT (Weasel’s Blog Time) the Friday after the last round is concluded.

The winner will receive an Official Certificate of Dick Winning and a small original sketch par moi. That is, if the winner chooses to send me a mailing address. I wouldn’t blame the winner for not, because what if I turned up one day and asked to sleep on the couch and tried to touch the winner for money? Still…official certificate!

While I can now be reasonably sure that someone that the Federal mass bugging of all telephones and the internet has detected to be an Enemy of the State will be “disappeared” with extreme prejudice soon [24 hours ago before the government admitted doing it, such a statement would have been paranoid. Now, it is a reasonable conclusion.]; we will not know who.

So, I will leave the obvious choices for the pool aside, and simply bid for Chris Christie [Obama-minion-despite-the-R] to die of internal shrapnel wounds from a post-pigout lap band explosion.

I’m sticking with Kirk Douglas.

I just read Love Has No Alibi, a mystery from 1946. The narrator and protagonist is a guy named “Kirk Douglas”. His first movie was released that July. Coincidence? Douglas was an active NYC stage actor in 1945-46, the book is set in NYC, and the author seems to have been a New York guy (though despite being named Cohen, he was originally from South Carolina).

“…the Queen will have him freeze dried and they’ll put a puppet sleeve up his ass and make him say horrible things.”

So – what you’re saying here, Mrs. Compton, is that Phil The Geek has, in actuality, gone secretly room-temp some time ago, and what we (occasionally) see/hear is, in reality, Her Maj ‘avin’ us on a bit, yes?…

Meanwhile –

True to my traditional trend, I’ll take Red Jane, ol’ Hank Fonda’s homegrown-Commie mistake…would that there actually was that “long-post-birth retroactive abortion” thingy some were discussing awhile back; we could have voted Insaney Janey off this Island Earth long since…
