HRH Prince Phillip

I would vote for his wife but the longer she stays on the throne the less time the English have to deal with her first born as their King. Not that it means much from an American but I like Will and Kate.

Bob Barker, come on down.

Rush Limbaugh

I hate to see him go but at least he won’t be alive to see America turn into Venezuela. We got 20 years now that its become legal to stuff the ballot box in America.

William Shatner

Betty White

Henry Kissinger once more.

Somebody’s going to get to the man who knows waaaaaay too much:

Julian Assange

Dick Van Dyke

SOMETHING good has to happen in 2021 so I’ll take Jimmy Carter please.

Going with Mr Soros

The ‘Nads’, Jerry Nadler

Desmond Tutu

Nancy Pelosi. In the kitchen with 10 scoops of ice cream smashed in her face.

Bob Dole

Phew! Got stuck away from civilization at WBT.

Sticking with Norman Lloyd so as I can get me some more Stoaty Art!

Dustin Diamond (aka “Skreech” from “Saved By The Bell”).

Unrelated: You know what’s funny? On her about page, Stoaty has a screed encouraging you to steal her art that ends with this:

You can directly access my whole collection of sidebar graphics, past and present, here.

But if you click on “here” you get a “403: Forbidden”. Heh.

Hillary (Rot-ham) Clinton.

Because a man can still dream, my thoughts are free.

Bob Newhart.

I nominate Sen. Kamala Harris of California, who swears and asserts that she is a nominee for VP of the USofA yet will not resign her Senate seat.

Weird, huh? It’s almost like she is afraid she might not really be a VP nominee.

So I’m optimistic. Paul Ehrlich again.

Bob Dole

So many choices…I’ll go with the obvious dead man walking, Joe Biden

Richard M. Stallman

Famous hippie computer scientist and co-founder of the free/open software movement. Also an MIT professor and friend of Jeffrey Epstein (who gave MIT money in return for some kind of influence or cachet). Stallman made the mistake of defending Epstein, and was fired. Reputed to be living out of his car at one point.

Raul Castro

Barbara Walters

Sid Mark host of the Sounds of Sinatra syndicated radio program

BTW: Mrs Carl’s win with Tanya Roberts broke a run of 15 straight DPs won with an opening-day pick. That was by far the longest such streak; the previous record was 6 (96-101). Overall, 76 of 138 winners were picked first day. However, in DPs 102-118, there were only 4 first-day hits, and in 111, KMM got it with Aretha Franklin 45 days out, the second-latest winning pick.

Got beat to Joe Biden. It is with trepidation for my country, but I have a nasty feeling that sometime soon after January 21 the Left will arrange for President Trump’s demise.

Subotai Bahadur

Harry Reid. Thought he was dying when he first left the senate. What happened with that?

Sidney Poitier. Got nothin’ else right now.

Brigitte Bardot – from lack of meat in diet

Bill Clinton

Mitt Romney, torn to pieces by feral pigs preferably.

Norman Lloyd, Dr. Daniel Auschlander on St. Elsewhere.

I don’t think anyone has Liz Cheney

Chuckles Shumer, that worthless POS.

Beverly Cleary, children’s author.

Back to Larry Storch.

The former Pope Benedict.

Sonia Sotomayor

@Jeff Weimer

Lester already picked Norman Lloyd…it’s been his go to pick for a while now.

Weirdo Phil Spector is dead at 81.

Wowowow. Really spaced out on this one.

Switching it up again and picking Mike Pence.

Because he’s old, has white hair, looks like an elderly Race Bannon from ‘Jonny Quest’, and half of the country hates him because of his religious and political beliefs.

UPDATE: “He’s old”, I said. Then I googled him … he’s only 61 and was born on June 7, 1959 – ONLY TWO MONTHS BEFORE ME. What. The. Hell. I would say I feel old, but … I feel more confused than elderly. Yikes.

Harry Belafonte

@Tim – the good news is you no longer have to worry about “respect your elders”.

Refreshing once you get used to the idea.
Or depressing, when you’re 30ish and realize some ultra hot Playboy model was born the year you started 7th grade.

@durnedyankee — Here, I’ll pick up my nightstick cane and put on my mirror shades reading glasses…

“Respect my Longevitah!”

I’ll go with Mel Brooks this time.

Ted Kopple

Tim Carlson: …Mike Pence… half of the country hates him…

Not true. 90% of the “intellectual elite” ruling class hates him. 75% of the people agree with him.

Hammerin’ Hank Aaron has rounded 3rd and headed for home for the last time at age 86. RIP Hank.

Larry King has passed at 87. No one picked him this round.

RIP in Larry.

RIP the world’s foremost marriage addict.

It would be interesting to know in how many out of the last dozen or two Dead Pools Larry King was not chosen. It can’t be very many!

Ay caramba! Nobody had Larry King?!

Heck! I didn’t even know this Dead Pool was even alive!

So, out of an abundance of caution, Patrick Lahey, Senator from Vermont, was rushed to the hospital, today. Just after he presided over the opening of the Impeachment 2.0, of (former) President Donald J. Trump, in the US Senate.

So, out of an abundance of caution, I select Patrick Lahey, Senator from Vermont.

Come on down, Pat! (I wants me some of then elephant shit particles in my weasel art!)

Cloris Leachman has passed at 94, RIP Madam, you were a true talent.

On a personal note my mom went to Northwestern University a few years behind Cloris and they were both in the Gamma Phi Beta sorority together.

She had a great run!

Damn, I had Cloris last time. *shakes fist at still leaving Dustin Diamond*

Another one gone to the Great Beyond…

Cicely Tyson (December 19, 1924 – January 28, 2021) was an American actress and fashion model.

Coach Chaney, who always looked like he was at death’s door with dark circles under his eyes…

John Chaney (January 21, 1932 – January 29, 2021) was an American college basketball coach, best known for his success at Temple University from 1982 through 2006. – wikipedia

RIP

Amazing analysis, RR – well done!

Wow, I thought for certain there was going to be a new pool…

George Schultz

Jack Palladino

Clinton and Weinstein dirty trickster guy. We may close this dead pool out. As of this moment he is still on Life support according to my google search.

Blake got it. Dustin Diamond has passed away.

Congrats, Blake! Dammit, Henry, if you kick off before Friday I shall be bloody annoyed.

Think how I felt. If Dustin had just hung in there for a couple more hours.

RIP Hal “Henry Northrup” “Mark Twain” Holbrook.

Nobody had him, so nobody has to have a Deadpool-Limbo stroke.
