We is evisceration!

Steve told us about these things, and sells them on his site if you want one. How did I live without one of these before?

WIG-DP rules

OK, dead pool rules:

1. Pool period runs from July 1, 2009 at 12:01AM to June 30, 2010 at 11:59PM, Central Time.
   
2. We Is Genius (WIG) members may choose up to five (5) people.  These people must be famous in entertainment, sports, politics, literature or in some other way.  If two WIG members find your pick too obscure, they may call for a vote of the group.  It will take 2/3 majority to remove your pick.
   
3. For each pick, contribute one dollar to WIG.  Banker will be chosen among bankers.
   
4. You will receive a score for each person you correctly predict to die between the dates of the pool.  Your score will equal 100 minus the age of the person who dies.  
   
5. All entries will be public on this blog.
   
6. All entries must be received by June 30, 2009 at 11:59pm CT by email to King.
   

  

A very funny man

Bob Newhart biography, from Esquire.

I think of those great songs written during the Depression -- they helped cheer people up. "Pennies from Heaven," "I've Got a Pocketful of Dreams." I suppose we need a few of them now. Maybe they could be in hip-hop, but I don't know if anyone would understand the lyrics.
