Round 58: the days are getting longer
Carl takes the dick with Ariel Sharon. (Brrrr…eight years in a coma. I hope it was a proper deep coma, and not like that ‘just cruising under the surface’ thing I do on Sunday mornings).
Gimme a tickle if you want your dick, Carl. I’m in a dick packaging mood at the moment.
Right! On to the life-affirming mental exercise that is the Dead Pool:
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, if the winner chooses to entrust me with a mailing address, will receive an Official Certificate of Dick Winning and a small original drawing on paper suffused with elephant shit particles. Because I didn’t have any dinosaur shit particles.

Always in search of someone new, and this fellow is definitely new – for a man who is 108 years old. Zhou Youguang, Chinese linguist, creator of the Pinyin system for transliteration of Chinese to Roman letters. He invented something that hundreds of millions of people use every day – does that count as a celebrity?

Ken at Popehat had this to say recently: “when Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Deputies searched Justin Bieber’s house. I praised Bieber for shutting up and declining to talk to the cops, and joked that criminal defense attorneys could shame clients into better practices by asking why they aren’t smarter than Justin Bieber.”

I missed the pool by a full day, and still my latest usual picks [the traitorous “leaders” of the Institutional Republicans who are enabling Obama] are available. Normally, I am not the only one hoping for their demise. However, events have given me a different, more likely, choice.
Michelle Obama, based on the convenience of “Teh Won”. There are reports that the marital ties of the Royal Couple were not that strong, even before our reportedly “ambidexterous” ruler developed a public craving for Danish.
If there is a public filing for divorce, perhaps listing a number of correspondents, including Reggie Love; it would not play well politically. If there is a tragic accident, the pictures of “Teh Won” and the Crown Princesses at the funeral would distract from current events.
And then he could ask the Danish Prime Minister to the White House for a state visit.
