Dead Pool 180: weathered the storm edition

The dick goes to mossomo with Hassan Nasrallah. According to his Wikipedia article, he was killed while meeting other leaders in a bunker 60 feet below a residential building, though it may have been smoke inhalation rather than the blast that done him.

We will not shed a tear.

Are we all 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.

Jimmy Carter

I am tired of people saying he loved his wife. If so he would have already gone to see her.

He did say he wants to stay alive to vote in the next election. Makes me wonder if he wants to vote for the potentially worst president ever of the United States. He used to be on top but has since been replaced with others so maybe he’s just trying to work his way to a lower number in the Worst Presidents ever category.

Actually, I had my pick all lined up before last Friday, and he hasn’t died in the interim.

Harry Roberts – ringleader in the 1966 Shepherds Bush murder of three police officers. He was paroled in 2014 after 48 years, and there was a lot of hooraw. Maybe somebody will finally revoke his parole.

If it wasn’t for the terrorist, I would have had the last round with Ethel Kennedy.
Just another reason to hate terrorists, as if anyone needed more reasons.

So I am picking Jack Hanna, “Jungle Jack” zookeeper who was, with his menagerie, a frequent talk show guest in the 1980s and 1990s.

My choice will either take himself out in an unfortunate hunting accident, or by self-deletion after losing the election. Or maybe his crazed wife will finally get sick of covering up his secrets and give Death the assist.

However it happens, I pick Tim Walz to bite the big one, and I don’t mean equine penis.
