Death Pool

smackaholic · Post by **smackaholic** » Wed Jun 08, 2016 1:31 pm

I know it's been quite a while since we did one of these and it would generally be a calendar year event. I would like to try something different, kind of like is done on the Howie Carr show. For those of you outside chowdland, he is a Boston afternoon drive talk host. Sort of a cross between Rush and Rome. His deathpool resets when someone cashes in. The next day he has callers phone in their picks. He also has a "quick pick" feature for callers who can't come up with their own.

My pick, is the apparently immortal Zsa Zsa Gabor. She was seemingly minutes away from death a good 6 or 7 years ago. It's as if the Grim Reaper is the purple people eater defense and she's Roger Staubach in an NFC conference title game.

Mods, a sticky for this would be nice. You get one pick, put a time frame on it so we don't have you DP gamers waiting on the sidelines for the next Ali to come along.

T.R.O.T.S. would be a better choice than a sticky.

You're my next pick, douchbag.

You weren't ever married to Zsa Zsa, btw, were you? She did a lot of that sort of thing back in the fifties.

I think I nailed her mom.

She's 99 years old. Way to go for that one point.

I get the idea. Kind of a "Sudden Death" death pool. Not in though.

This not following the old format. You get one pick. Go for the low hanging fruit. If you want a quick pick, wolfie's still on the board.

Just to make it sporting, we should rule out Classic Rock stars. That's like shooting fish in a barrel these days.

Mods, how about locking this after a week. That will give the 7 posters and their associated trolls time enough to post their picks.

Goober McTuber · Post by **Goober McTuber** » Wed Jun 08, 2016 6:04 pm

How about locking it right now. You must be taking shit thread lessons from Sam.

He's in tight with Hillary. Practically a death sentence.

Too late for this round, but I am calling dibs on Pickle's prostate in the next DP.

I'm calling The European Union in the Death Pool.

:P :grin: :)

smackaholic · Post by **smackaholic** » Sat Jun 25, 2016 12:11 pm

I doubt the EU dies, but it has a bit of a cold. It all depends on how long the Germans agree to carry all the bit player freeloaders. I have to think that they get a little tired of it eventually.

Joe Perry is still on the board. His DP power ranking definitely moved up a few notches this past week.

My turn to take a guess on DP. I'm gonna say nothing good happens after 3am at Club Blu.

Everything in moderation, fat boy. You'll succumb to a heart attack long before my liver lets me down.

I think I am gonna trade in Zsa Zsa for Hillary. I am very much enjoying watching her campaign herself to death. Couldn't happen to a nicer person.

If she does hold out through the campaign, I suspect she will look about like Tammy Fay Baker the day before she died. That likely is the most shocking thing I have ever seen on TV or the interwebs or wherever it was. Yikes.

smackaholic · Post by **smackaholic** » Mon Oct 31, 2016 7:48 pm

Y'know, fukk Zsa Zsa and Hillary, I am calling dibs on the Weiner man. Not sure if Hillary will have him whacked or he'll do himself. just wouldn't surprise me a bit to read about his unfortunate demise soon.

Innocent Bystander · Post by **Innocent Bystander** » Mon Oct 31, 2016 8:25 pm

Nah, bro. It's Huma who's about to be Ft. Marcy Parked. Hillary's already shutting her out in public, no love.

The Big Pickle · Post by **The Big Pickle** » Tue Nov 08, 2016 5:59 pm

I'm gonna add Comey to the DP....with Hiliary....people mysteriously die.

Innocent Bystander · Post by **Innocent Bystander** » Wed Nov 09, 2016 4:53 am

Changing mine to Clinton double-play, murder-suicide, Huma framed with lead pipe Hill uses on Bill.

Anybody have Bill Paxton? I didn't see that coming.

Or Judge Wapner? At 97, that shoulda been foreseeable though not worth many points.

Rooster · Post by **Rooster** » Mon Feb 27, 2017 4:21 pm

That tall dude on GoT died from a heart attack yesterday too. He was 36 years old, but being 7' 7" probably had something to do with it.
