Dead Pool Round 199: the heat wave breask
ExpressoBold Pureblood takes it with Alan Greenspan. Not the shortest deadpool on record, but possibly the most boring winner (Greenspan, not ExpressoBold).
As usual lately, I have to kick free all the comments manually, but you don’t have to worry about timestamps. Your post, when it’s finally free, will have the correct posting time. Apologies if someone else tries to pick the same person while your pick is in limbo.
Let’s think of this as EXCITING, shall we?
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 “I’ll be enjoying an L4 proctology-for-recreation session on God’s 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.

NBA whore and actor Jack Nicholson is 89.
After his dissolute life and with unhealthy anger issues, he should be ripe for a public collapse and DNR experience.

Expresso, I have a soft spot for Jack Nicholson if only for his portrayal of SM1 Billy Buddusky in “The Last Detail.” It was set in the early 70s, but it was uncannily close to life for this Sailor who joined in ’88 and served to 2010. He did a good job there.
Of course later his ego crested above his talent, but he still owned every scene he was in.

I’m going to go with Bruce Willis this time. Actor and singer, aged 71 years, born March 19, 1955. Unfortunately he has FTD (frontotemporal dementia). There, but for the grace of God, go I.

Dunno if my first submission went thru @ 1630 AK time (0130, 6/27 WBT) so I’ll drop Mel Brooks into the mix again.

I’ll stick with Keir Starmer, soon to be former PM of britain. Once he is out of office, he will have less of a security detail; unless HAMAS or Hezbollah make up the difference.

My comment posted right away but there’s no option to edit it.

That was the culprit – the plugin that let you edit your comments had a bit of code incompatible with PHP8. Whenever I tried to update the PHP version, it totally broke the blog. I’ll see if I can find another.

Tradeoff: Get immediate posting, lose comment editing.
If that’s the deal, then I agree with the loss of editing. I’m surprised at myself for typing that because I really really like comment editing. But so many sites don’t have that facility I’m sort of used to its absence.
Thank you, Mme. Ermine!

There, see?! I’d have edited that last one if I could. Saying “I agree with…” is presumptuous; I should have simply said “I like it” which I suppose is still a tad presumptuous but less so.
You do good work, stoaty, and you put up with a lot! Tell your boss to give you a raise and more vacation!

I didn’t even have a chance to register my guess last time. Yet another chance to lose I missed out on!
Oh, let’s go with the lovely Janis Paige, popular Golden Age second banana. She actually created the female lead in “Pajama Game” on Broadway but (Hollywood being what it is) was replaced by Doris Day in the movie. To add insult to injury, Paige plays second banana to Day in “Please Don’t Eat The Daisies.”

Well, dang! Nobody picked Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.Carolina). That’s understandable: he was only 71 and nobody knew he was sick apparently including himself.
I’m sorry to hear that he died, despite his politicking games and warmongering. RIP

Ron Hunt passed away today. Is he famous enough to meet the deadpool requirements.
