The Weatherman Death Pool

[Godot 149]

So it's April 1 in a little while and Weatherman has installed a very large turd over his deathlist saying April Fool underneath it. What am I to deduce from this?

Given that it's Wiki, doesn't that mean any page can be edited by anyone? My guess would be that w90 didn't make that particular addition, given the number of supporters he has here...

 

It's a very realistic turd. And Weatherman's biography does reveal him to be a 15-year-old boy. Nothing wrong with that, except he likes Barry Manilow. Nothing wrong with that except he also likes KC and the Sunshine Band, supports the Republican Party, collects stamps and declares himslef a right winged pyromaniac .

Nothing wrong with that at all. Rock on dude.

 

 

A 15 year-old who likes billiards.....

 

Pocket billiards, I guess. I was 15 once.

It depends how big your pockets are...but I doubt they are big enough for what I use.

Well if it's anything like that turd, you could be right.

[Captain Oates 21]

My team is in - with an average age of 98.8

 

>>>>>> >>>>>> >>>>>> x 10

 

 

That's what I'm hoping, anyway.

[Godot 149]

Now what about the turd and the April Fool message. Am I the only one who thinks this rather odd? That someone is trying to take the piss?

[Brinsworth House Baiter 12]

Sure they'll let you in. What am I saying, it's not up to me. It's in Wimbledon colours for exclusivity but it can't be that exclusive - I'm there. It's a bit quiet just now. I was on my own tonight galloping all over the threads until I ran out of steam. Also you feel a kind of pressure (and this is deliberate) to be erudite. Notapotato - good luck to him - I think wants to run a classy joint (well it is Hartlepool) so there's class posters there (best one so far in my opinion by TF, something on drums) and Windsor is a moderat(or). He's tickled pink. My take on it is that it's a kind of Deathlist Groucho's for Damien Hirst and Mariella Frostrup types.

 

It's a very classy looking site - positively exudes class - a real credit to NAP and MH who put it together. But it might struggle to get that critical mass even with the loyal support of fellow deathlisters. After all the criticisms here, people are a bit nervous of starting new threads so there isn't much yet. I kind of wanted to have something on art and literature (I do have a serious farty side) but that kind of thing never works. It always ends up with Corrie (and there's nothing wrong with that). My favourite thread here just now, however, is the foodie one, fascinating looking in to people's fridges.

 

 

They'd have to send me a gold tinted invite... I've been over there... surreptitsiously (sic!) ... and I personally think they can dissapear (sic ficking again) up their own backsides...which ....I see they...are already doing...without...my...help.... but then again...I'd love it if they invited me...I shall stay here, Notaspud likes me...could prove it with a quote if pushed....

 

Besides, my love of Dicky O' might prove too strong...

 

EDIT: If any of the above makes sense then my grass is obviously not strong enough....

[Godot 149]

Why don't you joint me in the chat room and then you could pass the duchie?

[weatherman90 7]

-Cap'n Oates, Is 97 your magical number? - Hopefully it is, because 50% of your picks are 97 years of age at the moment. (Although most of them will turn 98 later this summer)

 

-and Godot, have you submitted your 10 picks yet? Or are you in refusal because of my turd picture antics?

[Godot 149]

That really was a freudian slip!

[weatherman90 7]

The DEAD-line is finally here! Good luck to all the teams!

My list was an April Fool.

Given that it's Wiki, doesn't that mean any page can be edited by anyone? My guess would be that w90 didn't make that particular addition, given the number of supporters he has here...

ie+ has a very good point. In order to maintain the integrity of this pool, there should be some way of locking the page to prevent anymore changes. Weatherman, how do you plan to prevent the deathpool page from being edited now that the deadline has passed?

[in eternum+ 22]

Or are you in refusal because of my turd picture antics?

I don't understand why you would identify your own deadpool as sh*t. But then, I've never been a 15-year old male, so perhaps I simply don't get the logic.

Well i'm sure Weatherman will be kind enough to edit his page and let me in. I missed the boat making my picks and all. Couldn't beat the clock.

[Brinsworth House Baiter 12]

But then, I've never been a 15-year old male,

 

What?

 

You were never 15 years old?

 

Or male?

 

Surely you jest?

Yup that's about the size of it. Was going to post then decided I didn't want to be associated with turds, particularly pyrotechnic, Bush-loving, scatalogical pizza eaters. I would ditch the computer and get a life, I really would.

Although where you are (and where he is) it's still March 31st, so really, you have a good few hours.

I cannot lock the page, although I have a habit of checking the edit history daily, (anyone can view it by clicking the history tab at the top). Then whenever I see a change to the page that wasn't made by me, I always check to see what they did - and if it was vandalism, then I revert it. Good point though, but I doubt anything will be able to slip past me.

 

On other topics, we already have some excitement in the form of Art Buchwalds perphaps final days, and Charles Haughey's hospital visit.

 

And for Banshees, (and Lady Die, who emailed me in sadness), I will let you both in just for the sake of bringing the total of players to a nice even 20. But only if you get your picks in within say 12 hours from this post. (I'll send you a PM in case you don't read this topic right away).

[maryportfuncity 10,646]

W90; to avoid cheating you could - like - prevail upon the helpful mods to lock a copy of the 20 lists hereabouts.

 

Might be worth doing pronto since I think Buchwald might give a few of us a lively start to the competition.

I could be a 12-year-old girl.

 

I would ditch the computer and get a life, I really would.

And yet you continue to post...

I thought BHB would go for Doug Ellis OBE!

 

Is that what you think will happen, or just wishful thinking?

[Canadian Paul 97]

W90 - I noticed that you bolded our unique picks, but are there going to be any extra bonus points if one of our unique choices carks it?

[Windsor 2,233]

W90 - I noticed that you bolded our unique picks, but are there going to be any extra bonus points if one of our unique choices carks it?

 

I wouldn't bother if I were you W90 - thing of all the hard work it would create. Also, it would tamper with your perfect points allocation. Plus there is the fact that, once again, I have no unique choices - I really must stop going for the obvious ones....
