Dead Pool Round 130: Quarantine Edition
Gromulin picks a dick winner with Dame Vera Lynn. She died of being 103, I gather. All my nice old lady friends who remember the war are sad.
I have a pile of dicks on my desk waiting to go out. Honest. I haven’t been near a post office since March 20, but as soon as I can get these out, I’ll want help figuring out who’s still left out. I got myself in a tangle because not everyone sends me an address, some of those who don’t are previous winners and assume I still have it. I’m easily confused.
Never mind. We have THINGS TO DO:
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.

Olivia de Havilland. I’m not gonna go political or criminal (forgive the repetition) this time because (a) there are too many juicy candidates, and (b) I am averse to pain and suffering: the pain of not winning the dick and suffering the continued satanic existence of my pick.
So I’m poaching the fine Olivia, not that I want anything bad to happen to her, like, y’know, dying and shit.

We’ve got some folks in prime demographic for DaPlague, some that really deserve to have the salmon mousse, and others that appear to have paid off Mr Reaper. I’m sticking with Norman Lloyd.

There’s something really odd going on at The Firm. We recently saw Her Maj, the Greek is prolly a given, and Charles has all but disappeared (the bloke in the recent interview video was so not Charles). Are they all dead? However, I have a feeling the Duchess is going to be run over by the buss she’s throwing Kate under…so I’m picking Meghan Markle.

*sigh* I got up at 2am to pee, but forgot all about the dead pool. Oh, Ruthie. Next time, my sweet.
Okay, changing it up *again* and picking the President of the United States
Donald J. Trump
All of the bullshite from the loony left has got to be wearing on him. Plus he’s not looking too good lately.

I seem to recall winning a dick but not getting said dick. I probably assumed you still had mine. It was a long time ago though. Is there a statute of limitations on getting dicked?

Still working off my list. The die roll picks…
Michael Jackson.
No, this is not a Rule 0 violation.
Last year, I happened to watch the closing credits of the the 1964 movie Goodbye, Charlie. The listing included “Michael Jackson – Himself”. Could it have been the King of Pop? (But he was only six years old then.) I explored.
This Michael Jackson was an LA radio personality who had a national reputation in the 1960s, and continued to work into the 2000s (most recently as the voice of Alfred in Batman: The Dark Knight Returns; he was originally from Britain). He has a berth in the Radio Hall of Fame, a star in the Walk of Fame, and even an MBE, so he counts as a celebrity, yes?
The peculiarity of this choice tickles me.
