Round 26: dearth of dicks edition
And the dick goes to — Mr and Mrs Weaselwannabe, who won it with Joe Paterno.
Or they will do. There’s been a run on dick around here. My local supplier put Aunty’s products on sale and has utterly sold out of spotted dicks! So there’s a dearth of dick for the nonce. Cross your fingers, weasels!
No. No, the dick jokes never get old. You don’t even want to know me when it’s time to buy more fat balls.
Okay, here we go…!
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.
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?
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 don’t want the fabulous prize, you’re too smart to be a regular. It takes me forever to put them in the mail, packages go by slow boat, typically take minimum eight to ten weeks and lose the will to live along the way.
8. The new DeadPool will begin 6pm WBT (Weasel’s Blog Time) the Friday after the last round is concluded.
What do we want? Aunty’s dick! When do we want it? When somebody on the list dies!

One of the reasons I’d really, really like to see Newt Gingrich get the Rethuglican nomination, then go on to stomp Da Flap-Eared One at the polls in November is the delicious thought of what bitter tears of anguish would result from mad-dog Lefty clowns like ol’ Janey.

I wouldn’t worry about the radiation, SmithyP.

Besides, even if it is true and New Zealand is under heavy nuclear fallout, I think Oceania has already been picked in this week’s dead pool anyway.

Jones was only 65 y/o. Earlier, I just learned that one of my favorite Hollywood types, Bernd Eichinger, died of an MI a year ago. He was only 61.
I know heart disease can be silent but I wonder if either of them had a history of heart problems. I thought people like them have to get insured for their projects and therefore have physical exams.
Anyway, 65/61 seems too young to go.

#11 – opened 10/22/2010, closed 3/23/2011 when Liz Taylor bought the farm, 152 days later.
#4 ran for 148 days, a close second.
No others have run longer than 12 weeks. Three of the last four closed in less than a week.
The current CDP is #26, and has run 62 days; sixth longest so far.

So no one had Thomas Kinkade then? Only 54 so it would be unexpected.
