Dead Pool Round 93: Christmas Eve Eve Edition
Zsa Zsa at last! I thought she’d never go. All hail LesterIII for being the last one with a chair when the music stopped. Is this win #3?
Now, it is the day before the day before Christmas, and likely the last Dead Pool of 2016. Make this one count!
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. Plus (Pupster’s Rule) no picking someone who’s only famous for being the oldest person alive.
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’m fresh out of fairy shit particles.

Norman LLoyd turned 103 on election night and said, “I didn’t feel much like celebrating that night”. Well Norm, here’s hoping you’re the next to not celebrate the next one.

I reiterate my contention that:
George H. W. Bush will not survive the Trump inauguration.
~
Barky will be required to:
1) Make a nice speech about a dead white prez;
2) Travel to Texas to participate in a funeral;
3) Have to make a tee time when he is not the sitting prez and therefore cannot clog up the highways and byways all on his lonesome – he’ll need to co-ordinate with greater PTB, many of which may be, by this time, antagonistic to him.
~
H. W. can accelerate the process by getting near the BoB.

I am going to go in a little bit different direction this time and go for Barbara Walters to drop the mic soon. Fidel is dead, and Obama out of power, so what does she have to live for? . I just have this feeling that Trump being president is going to be too much for her little leftist heart.

Oh poot. Carrie already picked, and I’m up nice and early checking the news. That’ll fix me for not being a total news junkie, having a life, and not having my clock set to Weasel Time.

Now, if you’d asked for flesh-eating bacteria I’d be rooting for you. I hope that if Krugman has an aneurysm it doesn’t kill him but just leaves him aphasic.

We actually feel bad about this win, Carrie was just a target of opportunity. We prefer to pick people we want to see gone, like Carter, Castro, etc. Our thoughts and prayers are with her family (Debbie has always been a class act). But with all the PC platitudes aside, a Win is a Win!
