Dead Pool 202: hints of autumn edition
Mrs Carl takes it with Esther Rantzen. Who has apparently been on death’s door for three years.
Sorry about the spam situation. We’re being absolutely buried in them. I clean them out once a day, but you’ll have to sit with them until then. I wish I could deputize you all to go spam hunting with me.
Are we 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.

I once again select Louis “Are ya using the whole fist there, Space Angel?” Walcott AKA Farrakhan. May his ending be agonizing.

You’re looking mighty poorly there, Mitch McConnell. If you’re not already dead, you’re my pick for DP #11001010.

Dead Pools are fun when you are eating flies . . .
This time I’m picking WALTER KOENIG, aged 90, born September 14, 1936, actor and screenwriter. Only three of the primary cast members of OST remain, and I don’t believe I’ve ever picked Mr. Koenig.
Sorry, sir, but I need you to board death’s wessel . . .

NOTE TO STOATY — You say winners wanting that fabulous prize need to send you their mailing addresses, but how do they do that? Your email address on the home page, stoXty@sweXsel.com is borken. Anything sent gets bounce with this message:
: host
mx.bt.prod.cloud.openwave.Xi[65.20.50.207] said: 550 RCPT
TO: User unknown (in reply to RCPT TO
command)
(I changed some letter ‘a’ to ‘X’ to interfere with scrapers.)
I would normally report a technical problem via email, but I’m sure you see the problem there.

Interesting: the code tag didn’t take all the way through. The target email griped about is stoXt.e.weXsel@btinternet.com
again: I swapped ‘a’ for ‘X’

It’s probably too early for William Charles Ayers (his father lived to 92), but one can hope.

I will stay with Michael Desronvil, the now widely outed holdout juror in the Lindsey Clancy trial. From the number of imitators since the trial, a mother murdering her born children is now acceptable.

We’re getting good at this.
This was the 11th DP completed this year, and that includes a month’s delay due to the adjudication on Violet Hensley. We have three months to break the record of 17, set in 2011.
Deborah HH: 60 times.
