Round 62: the new lambs are here!
Well, Mickey Rrrrrooney copped it at last, LesterIII takes the dick! Rooney’s body has yet to be claimed. Highest paid actor of the late 30s and early 40s, he leaves an estate of $18,000. Seems one of his stepsons made off with the rest. He left the eighteen grand to another stepson. His eight children he deliberately disinherited in a will signed a few weeks ago. So nobody feels like stepping up to bury the old coot.
Think of this next time family gets on your last nerve ending: at least you aren’t the kid of a Hollywood star.
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? Also, make sure you have a correct spelling of your choice somewhere in your comment. These threads get longish and I use search to figure out if we have a winner.
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.

Well, since Mr. Bridges has chosen to put the touch (using the obligatory ten-foot pole) on Hanoi-strain Jane, I am forced to go for the eternal internet glories of winning with Fidel. I have it on good authority that this is the month during which Communist refrigerators begin to fail from heat-overload…..if true there will be another April ressurection on record, albeit more of a “dead-cat-bounce” in Fidel’s case.
Just in case some of the kids haven’t heard of him, I mean Fidel Castro, Dictator of Cuba, more commonly known as Hugo Chavez’ older brother

Cattle Rancher Cliven Bundy. He’s become a Cause Celeb for the States Rights / Sovereign citizen crowd, and the Feds are NOT going to allow a figurehead like that to live if they can help it. BLM will murder him at the first viable opportunity. Besides, BLM has already sold leases on the area for Gas and Oil drilling (Tortoises my ass), so the faster they toe tag Bundy, the faster they get their pay day..

When the Dead Pool was new, Zsa Zsa was the favorite pick, because she was widely believed to have one foot in the grave (and the other had just been amputated).

I stuck with my standard Rockefeller death wish. I thought I might pick Cliven Bundy, but I really, really, reallyreallyreally didn’t want to win that way, as he would most definitely not be the only one down. The most satisfactory way for that mess to end would be for the local BLM director, his boss, and all the way up the chain of command to Sec. of Interior Jewell to die when their helicopter crashes into a bat-chomping, bird-slicing eco crucifix, a/k/a wind farm turbine.

@ thefritz:
When Hank Aaron was closing in on Ruth’s record, I was in college just a few blocks away from the stadium. The team was so bad there were only a few hundred people at most home games, falling to one-third of the first season’s attendance. The other teams didn’t care how many home runs Aaron hit, since the Braves were going to lose the game anyway, and they never wasted their best pitchers on the Braves.

I have often wondered (and I don’t mean fantasized) what making love to Doris Day would have been like back in the day. Did anyone ever find out?
With her image as “professional virgin” she always struck me as not innocent (which might be delicious to corrupt), but simply as indifferent to sex… I can’t help but thinking it would be like making love to a box recipe vanilla pudding served straight from the refrigerator.
She’d probably be singing
“Que sera sera
Just get it over with please
I’m not going to cum you see
So que sera sera”
Now excuse me, I have more drinking to do.

If you know anything about her personally, though, she’s a pretty appealing person.
