Oh, Ruthie sweetie … you are all MINE.

And if you were to pass now, during the height of impeachment mania … the insuing political conflagration would be GLORIOUS.

Oh, my goodness! …or badness, perhaps. So many in jeopardy, so many deserving villains whom so many would like to see Epsteined. I really ought to pick someone old, decrepit, and with one foot in the grave with the rest teetering precariously on the edge.

But no, I’m going to go with a political pick. I have a joyous feeling that Nancy Pelosi is going to stroke out on us. I just hope it’s on live teevee.

We’ve got some folks getting up there, and some that really deserve to have the salmon mousse, but I’m sticking with Norman Lloyd. He is 38,310 days old today.

Alex Trebec…

Got beat to RBG. Drat. After the last hospitalization I had an online discussion with an oncological surgeon. Noting that he does not know the particulars of her case, he said that the way they carefully phrased the statement of her condition, and the insertion of the gall duct stent at that point implies a range of survival times. I would phrase it as probably not going to see Thanksgiving, may not see Halloween [except as a returning spirit], and it is possible that she may not make Chinese Independence Day.

So I’ll take Adam Schiff. His being caught giving “parody” testimony under oath in Congress makes people wonder what other deliberate lies he has told in testimony and statements as the Democrat Chairman of the House Intelligence Committee.

Mind you, the Party leaders have no problem with him lying. They have problems with him lying clumsily enough to be caught and maybe having some Conservative start looking back at other things he has done for the Party.

Jimmah Carter popped his head out of a hole the other day and said something. Hopefully the swamp rabbits noticed and are on the hunt again.

Paging Mr. Baker, Mr. Ginger Baker to the white room…with black curtains.

I’m going with Her Maj…Queen Elizabeth II aggravated to death by MeAgain and Harry

How about Hillary Clinton, that would make me smile too.

I wish you very very well Mr. Carlson may your wish be granted, soon!

Ginger Baker

Stop avoiding the inevitable, Dick….

YES! Richard Wayne “Dick” Van Dyke must meet his non-earthly fate and hopefully SOON! C’man, liver of Dick, let the old man go!

Keith Richards

Roberta McCain.

Olivia De Havilland

Joe Biden

He’s looking more and more like Fire Marshall Bill, and the path for Lieawatha must be cleared!

Nothing clever this time. Just another centenarian: James Lovelock

(Biologist, global warmer, concocter of the weird but popular “Gaia hypothesis” – that the Earth is a conscious entity. But also, to be fair, an advocate of nuclear power.)

Raúl Castro, recently barred from the U.S.

After seeing him on stage in that clip from the Emmys, I’d have to take Bob Newhart. He is not looking spry anymore.

Hunter Biden

Diane Feinstein. You’ve done enough damage so kick off already.

Desmond Tutu

Ed Asner. Another hard left Hollywood hypocrite.

@Rick Rostrom — I am at 74 unique picks, if you combine the picks of Timothy S. Carlson and Tim Carlson, which are one and the same. I have two separate desktop systems (office and home) with different form fill-ins.

I apologise for any grief / extra work this may cause you.

And I want to echo the sentiments which have been voiced – thank you for your hard work providing statistics for the pool.

Vera Lynn

Since they beat me to the ginger mad man… I’ll go for the Long shot… Keith Richards.

Ehhh-h-h…eckshully – I think Tim Carlson oughtta get the win this time ’round – it’s prolly his turn, y’know…but…

If Insaney Janey Fonda manages to finally stagger into The Cable-Car Of Fate’s dreaded path…I would be pleased to accept the win, of course. It IS, after all, long-overdue –

I left for 7 days in Europe on the 21st and was too busy to check the DP…just goes to show you, don’t leave home without your weasel. So late to the game….I pick Henry Kissinger.

beat me to keith too dammit…IGGY POP!

Jean Auel – author of Clan of the Cave Bear.

Paul Ehrlich, victim of cannibald

Yo Jc, are you picking this Paul Ehrlich…Paul Ehrlich was a Nobel prize-winning German-Jewish physician and scientist who worked in the fields of hematology, immunology, and antimicrobial chemotherapy. He is credited with finding a cure for syphilis in 1909. He invented the precursor technique to Gram staining bacteria. Died 1915.
or…are you picking Paul R. Ehrlich, an American biologist, best known for his warnings about the consequences of population growth and limited resources? He’s still breathing.

Carl Reiner

George Soros

Yo, Timothy J. mcCorkle – you typo’d the email address, which is why it bounced. And because there were links in your message, it got caught in the spam filter. But never you mind…I have preserved your address. (Though it really is helpful if you send me an email; I sort things that way).

She wasn’t a pick, but the lovely Diahann Carroll has passed away, from cancer, at age 84. A class act, she was. RIP

Baba Ram Dass

Dick Cheney for the Dick.

James Earl Jones. (Not trying to curse him.)

Platypuss wins! Ginger Baker, Cream’s drummer has passed at 80. RIP

Bernie Sanders. Heart attack coverup and all.

mr. Baker has shuffled Of this mortal Coil as of sunday Morning… sad day for drummers everywhere!

Wow, had no idea ol’ Rip was still alive until tonight.
RIP Rip. http://tinyurl.com/y2w5lrth

Hahahahaha. Kirk Douglas finally passes the mortal coil, and this is one of the few Dead Pools he *wasn’t* in.

Well, fuck, maybe folks just took rule wazzit. “(I thought he was dead)”. I did not know that Mad Mike Hoare was still alive. He died at the age of 100, a complete badass Irish mercenary chartered public accountant. https://www.theguardian.com/world/2020/feb/03/mercenary-mad-mike-hoare-dies-in-south-africa-aged-100
