Sure I admit that I could stand to loose a few pounds off (each side) my ass. I should also work on my 'taking it' instead of always 'dishing it out' every once in a while. Yet waiting for one day a year to decide to make changes never seemed very productive to me.
Besides, deadpool picks are due Wednesday, so I've been a little preoccupied with who I'm going to kill off this year. Therefore, the betterment of my person will have to wait for one of the other 364 days.
I have learned from previous pools that going for the obvious doesn't always turn up a winner. Plus when your picks are Dick Clark, Fidel Castro, Wilford Brimley, Muhammad Ali and Betty White you just look like an unimaginative bully.
I refuse to pick on the outright ill and elderly. This year creativity is the key to a successful season. Don't get me wrong, I have reason for my chosen ones but cause of death is not required in the pool. You just have to die, this year.
So a drum roll please as I share my official Top Five Deadpool picks of 2010...
1. Lou Dobbs
2. Timothy Geither
3. Amy Winehouse
4. John Madden
5. Andy Richter
