I’ve been there!
This picture came across my feed today. It’s the abandoned yellow brick road from a Seventies theme park in North Carolina.
My grandma took me there one year. She knew I liked the Wizard of Oz and was always at a loss what to do with me on summer visits.
Only, by that time I was a teenager and it wasn’t really appropriate. I remember it as being sad and a little creepy, even then.
Yes, my vodka came. Did Lavender Girl win the Dead Pool or what? I’m too lazy to work it out for myself.

Alas, LavenderGirl’s pick was predeceased by Bob Mulroy’s pick:

I’m sticking with his Unholiness Ayatollah Kahmeni.
And so Bob wins a well-deserved Dick.
Dead Pool tomorrow, I trust?

Yep. As long as someone on the list is dead, I don’t care who.
Well, I do. The Ayatollah! Woohoo!

There’s going to be a new deadpool each week as long as we keep naming the new Ayatollah
