Jimmy Carter!

Maggie Thatcher.

But I bet’s it’s Zsa Zsa

As per usual, former PM Gordon Brown.

Though I hope to lose on this one, I’ll stick with Abe Vigoda…

I have a stinking suspicion that I will regret this…

But I am going to pick Zsa Zsa.

I hope that she does not outlast Delores Hope….

I have been giving some consideration to Otto Habsburg, as well….I don’t think he will last out the year, either….

Billy Graham.

Eighth time’s a charm.

Michael Moore. Ohpleaseohpleaseohplease.

Dick Clark

I’ll go with Tom Leher again.

Yogi Berra and/or Barack Obama.

The first pick is with my head; the second is with my heart.

I have a dream…and Eric Holder ain’t in it.

Hey sWeasel,
My pick this week is the EPA’s Administrator, Lisa P. Jackson — leads a staff of approximately 18,000 professionals dedicated to protecting the public health and environment; NOT.

The choice is based on a WUWT article you’ll laugh for a few weeks over:
http://wattsupwiththat.com/2010/07/29/oh-soot/

Related to the WUWT post and from the IPCC website:

Soot
http://www.ipcc.ch/publications_and_data/ar4/wg1/en/annex1sglossary-p-z.html


Particles formed during the quenching of gases at the outer edge of flames of organic vapours, consisting predominantly of carbon, with lesser amounts of oxygen and hydrogen present as carboxyl and phenolic groups and exhibiting an imperfect graphitic structure. See Black carbon; Charcoal (Charlson and Heintzenberg, 1995, p. 406).

Black carbon (BC) Operationally defined aerosol species based on measurement of light absorption and chemical reactivity and/or thermal stability; consists of soot, charcoal and/or possible light-absorbing refractory organic matter (Charlson and Heintzenberg, 1995, p. 401).

Charcoal Material resulting from charring of biomass, usually retaining some of the microscopic texture typical of plant tissues; chemically it consists mainly of carbon with a disturbed graphitic structure, with lesser amounts of oxygen and hydrogen (Charlson and Heintzenberg, 1995, p. 402). See Black carbon; Soot.

Ok, so how does this relate to Climate Change?


Climate change Climate change refers to a change in the state of the climate that can be identified (e.g., by using statistical tests) by changes in the mean and/or the variability of its properties, and that persists for an extended period, typically decades or longer. Climate change may be due to natural internal processes or external forcings, or to persistent anthropogenic changes in the composition of the atmosphere or in land use. Note that the Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC), in its Article 1, defines climate change as: ‘a change of climate which is attributed directly or indirectly to human activity that alters the composition of the global atmosphere and which is in addition to natural climate variability observed over comparable time periods’. The UNFCCC thus makes a distinction between climate change attributable to human activities altering the atmospheric composition, and climate variability attributable to natural causes. See also Climate variability; Detection and Attribution.

Ok (thankfully they are defining the terms), given that “Soot” does not “persist for an extended period, typically decades or longer” and it is not solely caused by human activities. What percentage of “Soot” should we monitor so we can properly TAX individuals who burn Cow and Camel droppings and or BBQ on the weekends?

Who is going to do the monitoring?

It isn’t going to be the EPA — they have trouble reading English these days so it would be a huge waste of taxpayer funding.

It gets better : \
… scratching head wondering how IPCC can define an aerosol species. Is this a remake of The Blob?

seeBlack carbon (BC) above.

How about Arlen Specter? I just want to wish him dead.

Yes…Helen Thomas FTW!

Eli Wallach.

Only because I didn’t know he was still alive.

http://tinyurl.com/yswsvr

Oliver Stone. Seriously, does he really think that the Evil International Jewish Conspiracy What Rules Everything is gonna just let that shit slide? Yah I don’t think so dude.

Dan Rather.

Mrs. Bob Hope

Jalaluddin Haqqani

Who is he? You might ask. Big Taliban dude, also nicknamed “The Emir of Waziristan.” He fought the Soviets, and has been an Osama bud for decades. Word is, he’s sick, plus he has that nice shiny target on his back. Even the Pakistanis have had about enough of him. So I’ve got a threefer going.

Nelson Mandela. Old. Very old.

C. Everett Koop…because I can’t stand those Life Alert commercials.

Way OT, but can we all talk about our “mongrelism” now that Obama has brought it up?

oliver stone…………..

Lurker here: I’mma say Hugo Chavez.

Muhammad Ali, again.

Prince Phillip, in a back room, with a maid

Elmer Fudd.
Hell, he was old when I was a kid.
He’s got to be pushing through his 90s.

Ernest Borgnine

Barbara Billingsly, again. She better die soon or she is gonna have a huge estate tax bill.

Larry King of the Cadavers

I figured that the only thing that would make him shut the hell up! is death… and he’s off the air.

Robert Wagner, he looks like he’s dead already.

Andy Griffith. For making ads for the Obama Club for Old People. As in, hitting old people with a club.

Fidel

Theresa Heinz Kerry

Twiggy….again

I fear that Charlie Rangel may have an accident. Embarrassing family members so often do.

Lindsay Lohan. Is she still locked up?

She’ll go on a bender when she gets released.

Time for a show-biz pick: Jerry Lewis.

(84, cancer survivor, diabetic, two heart attacks, “pulmonary fibrosis”…)

I hereby instruct all persons selected on this list other than Billy Graham to continue living so that I can win the Spotted Dick and so my soul can burn in fire and brimstone everlastingly.

And also so I can show EW1(SG) how totally Pikes Peak can kick Chesapeake Bay’s ass any day of the week. With one timberline tied behind its back even.

Wilford Brimley

From complications due to DIABEETUS.

Damn…Fidel would have been even better than Helen Thomas. Gotta keep better notes next time.

Mayor Richard M Daley

Baseball bat just missed his fat, greasy, plaque-filled head this week…a harbinger for Chicago’s nidus of evil.

John Conyers. Just because I don’t like his wife.

Christopher Hitchens.

Maxine Waters.

Because Charles Rangel is already taken.

Brett Favre…..traitor. As a diehard Green Bay Packers fan, I predict a decapitation at the hands of Charles Woodson on a blind side corner blitz.

HRH Queen Elizabeth. Not that I want her to go…

I can’t believe Tipper hasn’t let a contract on Al yet.

And I can’t believe nobody *else* has picked Teh Goracle yet — so I will.

*psssst* — Tipper. I know a guy who does good work…

Oh, and Chesapeake Bay has survived having enough live ordnance shot into it to put Pikes Peak into Low Earth Orbit — Chessie’s one *tough* topological feature, lemme tell ya.

Ordnance schmordnance. Low Earth Orbit schmow schmearth schmorbit. (and it’s Bill: I had forgotten who had impugned the integrity of the grand old lady.)

Pikes Peak to Chesapeake Bay: My maximum elevation is 14,115 feet above sea level. What’s your’s?

Chesapeake Bay: Umm, sea level. Sort of definitionally.

Pikes Peak: Shrimp.

(Artist’s conception.)

That rat bastard Big Blue Bug.

Raul Castro. Because people already took Hugo and Fidel. But I am still sure a parrot will be involved somehow.

Ok, I’m finally in for one.

Harry Morgan of MASH fame.

Betty White…I’m sick of her…

Chesapeake Bay to Pikes Peak: “Do you have a cryptid living in your turgid, murky depths?”

Pikes Peak: “Uhhhhh. No cryptid. Dang, no turgid, murky depths, either.”

Chesapeake Bay: “Are you famous for the delectabilosityness of your crustaceans?”

Pikes Peak: “Naw, the only crabs I’ve ever had were from the bunch of hippies that drove that chartreuse VW micro-bus up in ’67 and couldn’t figure out how to get back down again…”

Sun Myung Moon

Jimmy Stewart…oh, wait a minute…
Ok. What the hell- I’ll try Cal Worthington again. Just because I can.

On behalf of the Hill household (Og and I figgered there might be a limit on the number of entries per), may I submit:

Julian Assange of Wikileaks infamy

Because he so richly deserves it. (Iowahawk has been trying to elicit a fatwah against him. Heh.)

Okay, back to lurking.

Pavel, Bill, what have I started? Being raised up a Westerner I am rather bemused by some of the mountains back here on the East Coast, but as a former resident of Puget Sound, I am even more bemused by Chesapeake Bay, which I can walk across without getting my ears wet!

Pike’s Peak has, uh, rocks! But the Bay has lots of mud! And a salt named after it!

I’m just hoping Holder falls in and drowns, because I can’t figger outa way to get ‘im to fall off Pike’s Peak.

Again, rosa muhammad (or something like that)

Mitch Miller…..

songs that made the hit parade…..

(Dave… I’m thinkin’ of buyin’ a ranch in TX and planting some yellow roses’….
viva Texas!)

Ok, it’s a pipe dream, but I call dibs on Elena Kagan.

Hey, Stoaty, this is for you:

Larry King:

I don’t know why, maybe it’s because I just crapped in my Depend for the fifth time today, but this argument reminds me of the time me and George Will spun up the ol’ magneto on the Model-T Ford, donned our leather driving gloves and goggles and went into town and saw a our first talkie together arguing along the whole way about whether or not I packed the proper picnic lunch for our epic adventure in the country together.

Seems ol’ Georgie is a big fan of Cornish Game Hens and Auntie’s Spotted Dick Pudding, of which I failed to include in our excursion into the hinterlands.

I’m an expensive French wine and goat cheese man myself.

Nonetheless…jeans were not proper attire of course.

Ahhh, Clara Bow,…….. they just don’t make em’ like that anymore.

Jackass Flats, Virginia,….. you’re on the air.

i missed this one…..

Ping Ping died in March….. the world is a smaller place as a result…

http://preview.tinyurl.com/2623d6a

I bid 1) Kim Jong-il.

John Cleese, because I loathe the stuck up bastard (and indeed all of the ‘comic geniuses’ in Monty Python who bascically nicked all their ideas from Spike Milligan) and the sooner he falls of the perch the better. I will request some custard with my spotted dick if I win.

I’ll give Louis “Calypso Louie” Farrakhan another try.
Whatever the actual cause, it will be the fault of the white devils.

Mostly just ’cause I like sayin’ “Calypso Louie”.

Betty White…from complications of that hit she took while filming the Super Bowl commercial:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NEH1omnG77c

(She’s at the wire with Abe Vigoda)

And Grizzly, I was POSITIVE Harry Morgan had croaked…

The Happy Homemaker is already took, Nigel.

I don’t know if anyone has claimed him, but Sherriff Joe Arpio has a $1 Million dollar hit out on him.

Betty Ford.

Wikipedia says she’s the oldest surviving former occupant of the White House.

Ah, crap. Nancy Reagan it is.

EW1(SG) — maybe we can convince Eric the H. to take a walk across Chesapeake Bay at low tide carrying a rock from Pikes Peak. I figger high water will catch him up to his knees in mud and oyster shells.

He’s just lackwit enough to do it, if we tell him it’s Teh Chosen Won’s idea…

@Pablo – I almost went for Nancy Reagan, but when I saw Mrs. Ford had experienced blood clots and wasn’t getting out much, I jumped at that.

I’ve been riding Zsa Zsa for several rounds now, Joe, but I picked the wrong pool to be late and I’m apparently not creative enough to envision the imminent passing of a Mitch Miller.

I coulda been a contendah.

Oh, and J2 wins a quickie!

Enjoy your dicks, my friend!

Mitch died on August 1. Perhaps we need to check the time of death vs the time of posting…

Aw, shucks. I used to sing along with Mitch when I was a kid. Always had a good time with the bouncing ball and all that.

I stand corrected. According to news stories he died on July 31?

Just checking the time conversion for the next one.

<squints at J2> I’m going to have to see your time stamp, Son.

Ah, my bad. Mitch left us on 7/31 and J2 decided to be a dirtier than normal rat on 8/1. No dicks for you!

Go Nancy! Go Nancy! Go Nancy!

you can cheat J2, just don’t get caught!!!!

BWAHAHAHAHAHA no DICK for you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It’s a close run thing, Pablo — remember Weasel Blog Time is six hours ahead of EST. Or something.

But I’m guessing that was an attempted weasel. You go, J2!

HEY…..

in defense of the indefensible… (ie: wagering on someones death…) I just heard of his passing on the radio THIS afternoon….

Dave in TX and I have had him for the last few rounds….

Time to plant a Yellow rose for Mitch…. GRHS….

RIP Mr. Miller.

Ninety nine years. Wow. I liked this quote from his Wikipedia entry:

Rock ‘n’ roll is musical baby food: it is the worship of mediocrity, brought about by a passion for conformity.

Not without some truth, that.

No defense needed, J2. Dirty tricks positively encouraged. You’re not the first to attempt to win the dicks ex post facto.

No defense needed, J2. Dirty tricks positively encouraged. You’re not the first to attempt to win the dicks ex post facto.

That’s what makes this place so fun- where else would you see a phrase like ‘ex post facto’ on a post that refers to death and dicks?

ok….

how about these picks….
August 2010:

Makh Daniels, 28, American heavy metal singer (Early Graves), auto accident. [1]
James Hunter, 56, American football player (Detroit Lions), apparent heart attack. [2]
Bruce Garvey, 70, British-born Canadian journalist, cancer.[3]
Dave Hagerty, 28, American singer and guitarist (Fattback), auto accident. [4]
Lolita Lebrón, 90, Puerto Rican nationalist. [5]
William MacVane, 95, American politician, former Mayor of Portland, Maine. [6]
K. M. Mathew, 93, Indian newspaper editor (Malayala Manorama). [7]
George Shangrow, 59, American conductor, pianist and radio personality, car accident. [8]
Eric Tindill, 99, New Zealand cricketer and rugby union player. [9]

Goddamit, did I not reup Mitch?

Well snot.

RIP Mitch. You were a good guy.

seein’s how ya’ll DQ’d my musical pick…..

how’s about Newzombie:

Mike Wallace

still faking truck explosions since 1918….

Since nobody else will touch the old pervy, I’ll pick Barney Frank. With a ten foot pole. Not *my* ten foot pole.

Cheney,Dick

Ah, crud. I’m still in Norway and have been foolishly having fun instead of remembering the dead pool. Who to pick, who to pick?

I guess I’ll choose Jerry “governor moonbat” brown, if only to spare my beloved state another four years as vibe.

Not that Whitman will be much better, mind, but here in the Golden State we’re used to picking the lesser of two lost causes.

Not “vibe.” GUBE. I blame the iPhone.

Optimistic Dead Pool delurking:

Henry Waxman.

Henry Kissinger again, just shooting my keyboard off at the plug. Or dropped another beer on the damn thing., p/;’2;6986tg

Clint Eastwood just ’cause guys with shovels have been chasing him for years.

The day Clint kicks off, I propose a global toast in his honor.

I’ve been riding Zsa Zsa for several rounds now,
No wonder she broke her hip, Pablo. And isn’t that cheating in the dead pool?

Stephen Hawking- I know it’s hard to tell, but he’s not looking well lately.

Did anyone have Patricia Neal?

Phyllis Diller, she was born in July 1917.

Huh…looks like no one had Dan Rostenkowski…I’d forgotten all about him.

Senator Inouye.

(those hot ones go like hotcakes!)

One nulled pick:
still missin’ ping ping – 8/3/10 – 1:30 am – Makh Daniels

Him dead already.

No amibiguous picks that I can see.

Let’s see what happens!

Looks like steve has the inside track.

Wikipedia says she’s asked for a priest to administer last rites, despite the fact she’s Jewish. Also, she’s a Republican.

Um.

Yay?

Oh, and y’all keep away from Steve, okay?

While it is tempting for me to post something akin to “These hands; they heal!”….

The problem is that this situation presents precisely the opposite set of circumstances…..

Then there are the issues surrounding the “Strategic Dick Reserve” that I am apparently accumulating….

Oh, and y’all keep away from Steve, okay?

Yup, he’s on the Group W bench for sure.

Correlation is not necessarily causation!

And that is all I have to say in my defense.

shit, preempted……

ok, Al Greene politician extraordinaire

Ray Bradbury who stated Fahrenheit 451 is his only science fiction work.

If this keeps up, Steve will be up to his …er Dick in Dicks.

Upon the determination that I do, indeed, posess a surfeit (an embarassment?) of dicks…

…It is my intention to endow a charitable organization, providing dicks to the dickless.

Think of the chickens, steve. Wouldn’t chicks with dicks be a wonderful legacy for some poor departed soul?

Pablo –

Maybe I should discuss this with Stoatie, before I start randomly flinging stale dick into Mapp and Lucia’s pen.

I mean, we are all keenly aware of how she fusses over the fuments of those two chooks….

GIGO and all that….

Tempting to change my vote to Ms. Weasel’s chickens….

Dr. Joyce Brothers, once again.

Zsa Zsa taken “unresponsive” to the hospital. Steve’s Strategic Dick Reserve soon to swell. . .

tried to post that when I read it earlier on Foxnews from the crackberry……wouldn’t take….

The old biddy is toying with me again…

She is nowhere near dying….she is just keeping her name in the news.

IMO it is all another publicity stunt for that aged doyenne (of whatever the hell it is that she is the doyenne of).

Expect her to be released in a day or two….then the Prince will fall down in a fit of exhaustion again, and bruise his ego or something….

Lather, rinse, repeat….

Zsa Zsa Gabor husband wants to plastinate wife’s body

http://www.breitbart.com/article.php?id=CNG.91cc350cfed23f483b23ec44acc183c7.1a1&show_article=1

Jerry Buss, LA Lakers owner.

I hereby withdraw all previous selections for the pool……

and submit al”the rev” sharpton as my official choice.

http://gatewaypundit.firstthings.com/2010/09/state-senate-seat-is-black-heir-property-says-al-sharpton/

What happens if someone in the pool gets the “Walt Disney/Ted Williams” treatment and gets frozen just before death, do they then count?

Dear Da Mare,

So, you’re self-dethroning in 2011. How about that. Never thought you’d remove your crown.

But let’s talk seriously. I’m pursuing dick, Dick. And the only thing standing between me and my puddin’ is breathing. Yours. So in the interest of overachievement, why don’t you really step down? Like 6 feet down. And cover yourself in a nice dirt blanket. Come on, Dick. You can do it. Make Chicago, and me, true winners.

Sincerely,
mandel bread

hmpfh…………

zsa zsa still kicking……whoduthunkit?

Is this round going slower, or is it just me?

Mew

Maybe adding a new name will bring some good luck and finally bring this dead pool to a conclusion. With that said I pick George Soros.

For cryin’ out loud, somebody just die, already…

geezz o pete so many people and NONE of em kickin the bucket……

how depressing!?!?!!???!!!!

harumph……….

another friday……….

nobodys dead yet……….

Eddie Fisher’s dead…did nobody have him?

thinks we need to get a better class of dying has-beens…

how about the guy that bought Segway a while bac………ah damn, never mind………

Perhaps JeffS is in line for some dick. Jimmah Cottah has been taken to the hospital. Ohhhhh! One can hope. . .

Anybody have Tony Curtis?

Damn! Not Tony Curtis!

Why couldn’t it have been a politician? Just one, to kick off the voting season. *pout*

George Blanda snuck off the mortal coil too.

Checked Rich Rostrum’s handy compilation and saw no Tony Curtis. Sigh. The pool continues. Besides Tony and George, comedian Greg Giraldo OD’d and died on 9/29.

It’s been so long I can’t remember who I picked. 🙂

Nope. I didn’t even know Tony Curtis was a likely.

The game goes on!

RIP Tony….

the snark on this at least is…….Jamie

(Don’t know about her socio-political bent & don’t want to… but DAMN… that’s a kick ass body..)

Hmmph. Nobody had Stephen Cannell either.

C’mon youse guys, some of youse has to be Hollyweird fans or insiders!! This is two big names down, and not in the pool!

At this rate, it’s not gonna be a spotted dick, it’s gonna be a spotted fossil!

Damn, that Zsa Zsa is a tough old broad. I hear Death showed up and she pimp-slapped him.

Reckon it’s time for Ramsey Clark to meet the Karma-nator…

Helen Gurley Brown.

Benoît Mandelbrot died a couple days ago. I’m guessing no one had him.

Barbara Billingsly?

Yes! We have a winner! MrCaniac picked Barbara Billingly on July 30th. Congrats MrCaniac!

Condolences for the family of Mrs. Billingsly of course.

For the win baby. Sad to see her pass, but I win the Dick, her family avoids the estate taxes, and she doesn’t have to live under Obamacare, a.k.a, the Triple Crown.

Wow, The Beave’s Babs bit the biscuit…bye Barbara.

Batman’s Adam West.
Dude is seriously old.
And Robin goes next…

Okay, Tom Bosley done slipped the coil. Let’s see if anyone had him. Geez. First, Beaver’s Mom, now Richie and Joanie’s Dad.

Isn’t this pool closed until new one starts on Friday?

Yep. No picks in this thread count. It’s Friday, 6pm WBT.

What time would WBT be for us in the US Eastern time zone?

WBT is kind of like….well….plus or minus one nanosecond of when Weasel posts the “Round 11 of the Celebrity Death Pool” post.

Then jump right in….

Whatever you do…don’t wait around, trying to Simonize your watch to some cesium clock, Eastern Standard Time, or Soon To Be Superceded Daylight Time, or GMT or anything, or somebody else will steal your Art Linkletter (or what have you) right out from under your snout.

I can’t do math, thefritz. I think I’m on Greenwich Mean Time, which doesn’t recognize British Summer Time.

Screw it — just post something, look at the time stamp and do the math for yourself. It’s safer that way.

I shall be poised, anxiously, fingers above the keyboard. Sadly though, Art no longer imitates life. He left us 5/26/10 saying the darnedest things….

So….basically….Start at around 00:00, Cape Breton Regional Dialect Time, on Frday morning, 10/29….

And then hit the refresh button every second or two until Weasel posts the “Round 11 of the Celebrity Death Pool” post.

Then type in “Zsa Zsa”….that mumified harridan will just not die, so long as I have picked her… Having already received the proverbial champagne bottle across the noggin from the church (having had Last Rites administered some time back) and surviving on a diet of nothing but baked potato and jelly (Mmmmmm! Nom, nom!) the old bat just refuses to take the hint….

Maybe you will have better luck with her….

Zsa Zsa’s joie de vivre reminds me of my old friend ZaSu Pitts. That ol’ gal just wouldn’t go either. Until Friday….
