Osama bin DEAD-pool
December 10, 2001 | Sabertooth. Recovering_Democrat

Osama Paki-pool Update:
Osama bin DEAD-pool

Pick a day! Any day! Or flag me for a QikPik!

Update

In the past week, sightings of Osama bin Laden in Afghanistan have surpassed those of Elvis in Vegas.
Is it almost over for the Scumbeard of the Year? Or are these all wild goose chases?
What day do you think he's learn the truth about the 72 virgins and the 28 little boys?

Or are you even in the game? Still plenty of open dates, so flag me on this thread (not my mailbox) if you want in.
As you've noticed, since he doesn't look like he'll make it to Pakistan,
I went ahead and changed the name of the pool. Sue me.

KayEyeDoubleDee raised a good question the night... What's the effective time zone for the pool?
I should have established this earlier, so I think the only fair thing to do is say that it's
whatever Time Zone bin Laden is killed in (or appears in Pakistan, which seems increasingly unlikely.)

ANNOUNCEMENT

from Recovering_Democrat

SABERTOOTH'S POOL IS NOW GOING TO BE CONSIDERED THE POOL FOR THE WINNER.
RECOVERING DEMOCRAT WILL DONATE $25 TO FR IN THE NAME OF THE WINNER OF **SABERTOOTH'S** POOL!

(sorry folks. I didn't know there was a pool already going! I meant to do something ORIGINAL.
No need to have two going at once, so I'll rely on Sabertooth to provide the name of the winner! Thanks ST! rd)

Hey, thank YOU, RD! As far as I'm concerned, if you thought of it yourself, it's original. And I doubt I was the first
But it was your great idea to give $25 in the name of the winner to Free Republic.
If you don't mind, I think I'll match that, in addition to posting a glory thread with the winner's name on it… Sabertooth

If you're unsure what the whole "Paki-pool" idea was about, click this link to a thread posted by Travis McGee on October 25th...

Will Osama Appear In Pakistan?

The operating theory is was that Osama bin Laden had a plan all along to show up in Pakistan, have himself declared the "Imam al-Mahdi" (a long-prophesied Islamic savior-figure), and start a civil war in an attempt to gain control of Pakistan's nukes.

Sound crazy? So is he. Crazy evil. It's still an interesting read.

Here's another:
   Black Flags of Islam  

Portents of the Imam al-Mahdi, the Moslems' prophesied deliverer of Jerusalem?

Hi folks!

You may be aware that the two Osama bin DEAD-pool contests have been merged into one. Some of you picked dates that were already chosen, so I wanted to give you a heads up and a list of the available dates.

Flag me on this thread with your picks.

Thanks for playing!

Put me down for 21 February, or the earliest day still open.

I'm with mombonn....his demise is long overdue. I hope they find him in itty bitty pieces so there's not enough to bury.

You can change the name of the pool to: "When Will the U.S. Say Osama Was Killed?".

Because Osama bin Laden is Already Dead
