Journey into Morbidity: The Dead Pool – The Third Man
In terms of the recommendation of Bob Barker to the Inaugural wojr.com Halloween Dead Pool, one loyal reader chose to comment "Bob...isn't that sort of a given?" This coming from a girl who wants to pick Castro.
Yes, Bob Barker was a rather obvious choice, but I wanted to call him a "poon-hound" and now I can die a happy man.
So, not just to quell the complaints of the blonde female readers of this site but also to make an obvious bid to appear a witty and independent thinker, the third recommendation from wojr.com for the Dead Pool will be an attempt to select someone completely out of left field.
Thus the third recommendation in the DEAD POOL is:
Gheorghe Zamfir a.k.a. Zamfir, Master of the Pan Flute
Now, some might say, "Why Zamfir? Is he too a hound of the poon?" Personally, I don't know, but he's currently living in his native Romania. I've heard enough tales about Romanian women to be concerned for Zamfir's health.
Others might say, "He's only sixty-five. Why waste one of the five special elderly slots on him?" To those, I counter with the fact that the average life expectancy for a male in Romania is only 68.14 years.
And others still might ask, "What's the deal with the cat? Is he a James Bond villain? Is he Liberace gay?" Again, I can't say. But if either or both are true, it does abbreviate an already abbreviated life expectancy.
Plus the man can play a sustained tone lasting about 2 1/2 minutes. Can you say aneurysm? I can.
