Hurry if you want Ted Kennedy!

deadpool

Hear ye, hear ye! The first ever sweasel.com celebrity deadpool shall now commence (seriously — right now! Nip into the comments and pick Ted Kennedy FAST).

Here be the rules:

  • Everybody gets one pick. Just sing out in the comment section.
  • Doesn’t have to be a politician; any famous (or infamous) person will do.
  • What constitutes “famous” will be wholly and arbitrarily decided by moi, with an assist from Uncle B in the case of Englishpersons.
  • Your pick has to be alive at the time of choosing (duh).
  • When any chosen celebrity kicks der bukkit, the prize is awarded and we start again from scratch. (Unless the whole thing is a flop, in which case I’ll pretend it never happened).
  • Anonymous submissions are fine; I can tell you apart by IP.
  • If you want the fabulous prize, you have to send me a real mailing address. If you don’t want to do that (and who can blame you? I’ll probably turn up and ask to crash out on your couch), you can do it just for the bragging rights. And the delicious schadenfreude.
  • There will be no handicapping for age or illness; weasels don’t do math. This is just a straight-up, who-goes-next kind of thang. If you pick somebody young and fit and that person dies, we’ll all move away from you on the Group W bench.

I so don’t care if you’re a regular or if I never see you again; I’d better have good response on this or me and all six of my regular readers will be sitting around for twenty years waiting for George Fucking Soros to shuffle off. Fucker.

Him. Not you.

Remember, it’s not necessarily a death wish. You can pick someone you like and admire, if you think he or she is likely to be pining for the fjords anytime soon. It’s all about getting your paws on this:

bangers

That’s right! I will totally mail you a can of Heinz Bumper Edition Big Saucy Bangers (don’t laugh; the postage alone will cost me a flippin’ fortune). Don’t worry; Teresa doesn’t get a penny of your money — I took the karmic hit for you.

So, come on! Sing out! Don’t be shy. Who won’t be down for breakfast?

I want it to be a matter of record that, despite my recent brush with The Grim Reaper (all right – I ate a bad burger. Or maybe it was the cherries) I rose, Lazarus-like, and personally donated this fabulous prize!

It was entirely of The Weasel’s own choosing, naturally.

Never let it be said there is no charity at Badger House.

I’d pick the American Economy, but that will be more like a persistant vegetative state, instead of an outright death.

Oh, in this case, “opt” means “Please lord, I’m down on my knees begging, I’ll go to mass and confession for the rest of my miserable life (and I am a CoE member) if you’ll just grant this one favor!”

A suggested codicil: Name your Dead Pool pick, and specify the method by which he/she/it shuffles off this mortal coil. That way, the contest doesn’t have to start all over again when Swayze kicks it.

Oh, and I pick Farrah Fawcett, butt tumor.

Just Schroedinger now. All the kittens have move on to new families (one even joined the army 🙂 ).

Of course, life with Schroedinger is interesting enough. I woke up at 2:30 am to make a pit stop in the middle of a HUGE thunderstorm last night, and the little turd comes curly-queing around my bare legs, soaked from head to toe with raingwater. Then, at 5:30 am, I started hearing a god-awful racket in the front room. He had gone out and found a bird nest that had been blown down and was inviting the occupants to come in and “play”. So, the doggy door got closed,the birds went outside, Schroedinger stayed inside (grumbling the whole while), and the feathers went into the vacuum.

He got even with me, though. Came home this afternoon to find my laserjet printer pushed off the window sill…..

I guess you guys are all kicking yourselves for not picking the Taco Bell chihuahua.

I’m going to stick with that theme and pick that death cat. You know, the one that smells death in the nursing home and comes over to the moribund patients so that they may spend their last hours on earth trying not to look at the hungry green eyes fixed on them unwinkingly? Yeah, I think he’s getting too close to the Grim Reaper. So he’s my bet.

Larry Flynt, please! Scumbag. Plus, if Woody Harrelson bites it, it’s like a twofer!

I had no idea who Merce Cunningham was, Enas, and I’m a little worried that you do. You ain’t some kinda ballet-dancin’ sissy, air ya?

Ha! No. I had no idear who he was either Stoaty until he showed up dead on a news service I look at from time to time. They report on even fairly obscure people so my “Didn’t see that one coming” remark was tongue-in-cheek.

Am I too late?

Suze Orman

Never too late — until somebody’s pick croaks.

Is Orman ill, or just a particular hate object?

I hate Suze “Quick, roll up every bit of your husband’s spare change and show him what a big fucking waste of time it was”
Orman with the intensity of 1000 Suns. My hatred of the Orman is an old, cold one and if you could create a picture of a bunny rabbit, wearing a ballerina costume, roasting Suze’s entrails over a coal fire, I would build a small shrine to the Stoaty Weasel where hippies would be punched with glee.

And I would like to pick Peter and/or Paul and/or Mary because
their hippie songs killed my childhood.

One of my personal faves – Hanoi Jane. Crushed after falling past her ego and stupidity event horizon. Or killed by a dud NVA AA shell……

Paul McCartney. You can’t die from being an old prick, but you CAN die from being old. So, death by elderly complications.

Heart attack would pretty much be out, since I think he’s vegan anyway.

I’ll take:

“Patches” Kennedy on a sailboat, involving Klonopin, and an abandoned girlfriend for $200 Alex…..

Relatives of Eunice Kennedy Shriver have been summoned to hospital as her condition worsens, CNN reports.

I don’t think any of us picked her.

Beware: more than one link in a comment is apt to earn you a trip to the spam filter, where you will remain -- cold, frightened and alone -- until I remember to clean the trap. But, hey, without Akismet, we'd be up to our asses in...well, ass porn, mostly.
