Dead pool round 198: almost 200, y’all!
And dissent555 takes the dick with Gene Shalit. Shalit was around since forever and I had no idea he was still alive. You have to be some kind of cultural icon to be parodied on Spongebob Squarepants.
I’ve just realized – my dad was also born in 1926 and he’d be a hundred this year.
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.

Still trying to convince Alan Greenspan to accept his spot in the hereafter, wherever that may be for him.

EEK! Almost missed it! Thankfully nobody poached the coffin-dodging oxygen thief Louis “I’ll be enjoying a proctology-for-recreation session on God’s L4 pleasure saucer” Walcott, AKA Farrakhan. Hate mongering race manipulator, spewer of lies and antisemitism. Preferably via complications from his syphilitic endeavors, or burning. I’m not picky.

Weird. It approved Lester’s comment without my intervention. And yet, it won’t approve this one until I kick it loose.
BTW, I should have said – don’t get fussed about the timestamp. It stores the time you made the pick, so it’ll be correct when it posts.

Stoaty, that is weird. Perhaps it is the aether-realms smiling on me ‘cuz I’ve had such a shit week. Tore my distal biceps tendon, and was in an MRI tube when the DeadPool started. If I *AM* being smiled upon, I better go play some online poker for real money!

OK, I admit that my previous pick was not politically correct and was possibly legally actionable. So I will try another pick: The 30 year old male, who the police refuse to further describe or name, and who was released; who threw the 3 year old into the zoo crocodile pit in Norfolk a couple of days ago.

I thought my post of 6-20-26 0217 hrs. had been moderated and rejected, so I tried another at 0352 hrs. Both by my preference and the rules, the first pick sticks.

Thank you, Nana1 !!
RushBabe, I plan to stay far away from Angria but I’m developing an affection for either Jack Nicholson or Roberto De Niro.

Louise Lasser, actress/comedienne of the woefully underrated 70’s comedy series Mary Hartman, Mary Hartman has passed. Created by Norman Lear, the show was way ahead of it’s time and so was Louise. RIP
