I knew sticking with this one would pay off eventually.

Nice to get on the board after I got shut out last year.

Just for the record, I think it's crap that you can pick people on Death Row.

Agreed.  I was just thinking that too on the way to work.  How can you pick people that you know are going to die?  Shady, TEC, shady.

It took over 3 years and 4 totally separate death sentences to finally get this guy. In Iraq.

If his death was so certain, TEC would have gotten the points for him last year. Or, Ratto aside, possibly the year before that.

I picked him last year when he was on Death Row.  Didn't get any points then.

There were a lot of people that picked Patrick Swayze last year when they knew he had CANCER, IDITO.  Didn't see anyone getting outraged when people cashed in on that.

It isn't my fault your lists suck.

EDIT: Also, what Thrill said.

I'm pretty sure everyone on my list is going to die at some point.  

Should we start over and try to pick immortals instead?

To illustrate how much of a gamble death row picks can be, take my own number four: Shoko Asahara, who was sentenced to death in 2004 for the 1995 sarin gas attack on the Tokyo subway.

Okay, but clearly Death Row picks are a significantly smaller gamble than say...anyone else in the world.

Any less of a gamble than John Wooden, Dick Clark, Jimmy Carter, Robert Byrd or Billy Graham?

Patrick Swayze and Ted Kennedy both paid off last year while Chemical Ali didn't. I don't recall any bitching about TEC's pick then.

I think you and Gil just hate the troops so much, you can't stand watching one prosper in the field of Dead Poolery. Well, I for one, won't stand for such disrespect!

To illustrate how much of a gamble death row picks can be, take my own number four: Shoko Asahara, who was sentenced to death in 2004 for the 1995 sarin gas attack on the Tokyo subway.

Homework fail. (http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/news/world/asia/article6840248.ece)

Okay, but clearly Death Row picks are a significantly smaller gamble than say...anyone else in the world.

Any less of a gamble than John Wooden, Dick Clark, Jimmy Carter, Robert Byrd or Billy Graham?

Patrick Swayze and Ted Kennedy both paid off last year while Chemical Ali didn't. I don't recall any bitching about TEC's pick then.

I think you and Gil just hate the troops so much, you can't stand watching one prosper in the field of Dead Poolery. Well, I for one, won't stand for such disrespect!

Did I really pick all those people?

Never mind.

Wow... That wasn't even my point.

I just grabbed the names of some of our most picked celebs for sake of example, without even noticing that you had picked 4 of the 5 yourself.

I'd like to make a motion that when it comes time to set down ground rules for next year's Deadpool that Gil and PenFoe be excluded from the process.

Nay.

And I've recanted on this year's rule and honor TEC's prescient selection.

My motion for 2011 will go forward, however.

I am already preparing to filibuster.

Man, how many times in a row can you say "present" before you pass out?

We'll find out in December.  Unless Pen and Gil completely forget about it, and then they can just bitch about the rules after the game starts again.

If history is a judge, he'll have to stop at or before 8:15-ish.
