It's not a question of who wants it.  It's like the presidency of the EU: just dump it on some poor cunt who doesn't want it but doesn't get a choice, and then in a month's time they do the same thing to somebody else.

I took a look at the picks and was astonished to see that Fork, Huey and I are the leaders of the survivor pool: 28 unique picks among us, and not one dead.

Only 29 days to go for the 28 to last into 2017:
Richard M. Daley, Charlie Sheen, Jason Van Dyke, Abu Bakr Al-Baghdadi (alive as far as we know), Lawrence Taylor, Jared Fogle, Don Shula, Sandy Alderson, Harry Porterfield, Kim Jong Un, Mary Tyler Moore, Billy Graham, Hulk Hogan, Jimmy Carter, Valerie Harper, Amanda Bynes, Chuck Berry, Whitey Ford, Barack Obama, Ed Asner, William Devane, Rip Torn, Johnny Lujack, Bob Dole, Tippi Hedren, Joyce Randolph, and of course the already-celebrating Don Rickles and Bob Newhart:
