Dead Pool Round 177: smells of fish&chips
Phew! I made it! Only just. Lavendergirl takes it with Jonnie Irwin. I’d never heard of him, to be honest, but I’m not into property programs.
Now to reheat my fish and chips in the air fryer. Go! Go! Go!
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.

Jimmy Carter
Come on down said the Missus.
You can die knowing you are no longer the worst president of the United States. Hopefully he don’t die in office. He is another Woodrow Wilson whose wife also kept him alive while in office.
Thought about poaching @RushBade pick.

Joe Biden…. it would solve a lot of the Democrat’s problems if Uncle Joe fell off the Ice Cream Truck. Still, it’s probably just a coincidence that Hillary has come out of hibernation.

At this point, I’m sticking with old, old, very old Alan because FOMO if he croaks and I haven’t made him my selection.

Sticking with Louis “Divine Proctology in a UFO!” Walcott, AKA Farrakhan. He’s a festering abscess of insanity that needs cauterization, but I’ll settle for him stroking out, falling down some stairs, etc.; just prefer he see it coming so he can experience some terror since he’s terrorized so many others.

I’ll stick with U.S. SecDef Lloyd Austin. TPTB are keeping up their grinning, but those grins are mighty sickly especially after Mr. Mask AND Face Shield had to return to intensive care for another visit.

Since I was beaten to George Soros and admittedly I would want it to be his whole clan, then let me toss something in out of left field.
Harry, Duke of Sussex.
1) He is a pain in the tuchus to the Brit Royal Family.
2) I saw today where he supposedly said on Good Morning America that he is considering becoming a naturalized American citizen [!!!]; which would vastly increase the tuchusschmerz factor.
3) His daddy, King Charles III has cancer and while we do not know what type and how treatable it is [you know they are not telling the public everything], at his age it quite likely could be terminal.
4) Charles may well not want to leave a pair of loose cannons like Harry and Meghan behind to make life unpleasant for the heir apparent William and Kate when Charles dies. Absent Harry, Meghan can be ignored.

Alexander Smirnov, FBI fallguy.
Probably by suicide that involves falling naked out of a window onto an exploding bomb during a hunting accident on the freeway where he shoots himself in the back 5 time with a vintage bolt action rifle in a park under the jurisdiction of the Capitol police.

I dug up this pick last week, and then discovered there was no Pool. So I’m already all ready. Yet another venture into unexplored territory: Armi Kuusela – the very first Miss Universe.

Changing it up again and picking Dolph Lundgren, actor, film-maker, and martial artist, born November 3, 1957 (66yo). One Rocky villain died (Apollo Creed), will there be another? Plus he recently married a woman more than half his age, so she will probably leave a worn-out, desiccated husk in his bed when she runs off with his monies.

I guess I’m sad…Comedian Richard Lewis has passed. I knew he was ill with Parkinson’s. I was uncomfortably comfortable with his humor. It wasn’t for everybody but it was original.
I did like him on “Curb Your Enthusiasm”. RIP

When you attend a funeral it is sad to think that sooner’el
Later those you love will do the same for you
And you may have thought it tragic, not to mention other adjec
tives, to think of all the weeping they will do
But don’t you worry
No more ashes, so more sackcloth
and an armband made of black cloth
May someday nevermore adorn a sleeve
For if the bomb that drops on you
Get your friends and neighbors too
The’ll be nobody left behind to grieve
And we will all go together when we go
What a comforting fact that is to know
Universal bereavement, an inspiring achievement
Yes we all will go together when we go.
