Dead pool 176: here comes February!
The Honeymooners cast reunion is on at last: Joyce Randolph has passed and p2 has dick. Now that I see her picture, I realize I had her crossed with Vivian Vance from I Love Lucy (who died a thousand years ago). Never a fan of the Honeymooners.
Well, the weather is depressing as hell here. Let’s cheer ourselves up by thinking about the deaths of famous people.
Ready?
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.
Note: I am woefully behind on dick deliveries. If I owe you one, you’ll know how long. I ain’t gived up, but I haven’t drawn much since lockdown. Some day, your heirs might hear from my heirs.

Louis “WHOOPEE! The Angelic Spaceships are here to probe our divinity” Walcott, AKA Farrakhan. He’s a batshit-crazy fükknob, a dangerous religious/race manipulator, and overdue for pushing up daisies.

A suggestion from my sister: Martha Firestone Ford – former principal owner and CEO of the Detroit Lions (she handed off to her daughter three years ago, at the age of 95). She might just be hanging on to see the Lions win the Super Bowl this year.

Eva Marie Saint. She’s 1 year older than my mama…who is healthy and happy BTW!
I’ve given up on Iris Apfel since bullDawgGirl poached her from me. Good luck and God speed to BullDawgGirl!

Eva Marie was the first pick upthread.
Crikey, I’ll probably be late for my own funeral.
I’ll stay with Clint Eastwood for this round.

Well it looks as if I have bagged another DeadPool. I am so sad to hear of his passing as he has been doing so well over the last year or so.
RIP and God Bless your Family Jonnie.

The inventor of the Pop Tart has passed. I never cared much for the confection. I burned the shit out of the roof of my mouth once…eating them cold was like eating sweet sawdust. RIP none the less.
