Yassar Yassar, why won't you pass...err..
Well, that was an attempt at death poetry. Seeing as that my Red Sox voodoo doll didn't quite work out last night, I guess I'll skip making one for Ol Dirty Arafat.
Meryl has a new death watch post and links to a story which says that Arafat has some kind of liver disease, brought on by Israelis poisoning him.
Yes, it's the Joooooooos!
So, Meryl's taking dates for the Death Watch and I want October 13, even though I think he's dead already and Andrew McCarthy is acting the part of understudy. Weekend at Yassie's! And if that isn't enough to make you shake your head in disbelief, Damian Penny writes today about Arafat's loose bowels.
Sorry if you were eating watery refried beans when you read that.

Heh. 10/13 would fit into the Tinfoil Hat Brigade's conspiracy about David Duchovny.

The 13th is my birthday. What a wonderful present that would be!

13 is a lucky number in Hebrew numerology.
Maybe you'll win the pool, Michele. Then again, there are no losers in the Arafat Dead Pool.
I'm so gonna steal Lair Simon's SCORE! graphic.

I was born on a Friday the 13th in October before the end of WW2. Born Jewish too.
I consider it a very lucky day and would be honored to have Imafat die on my birthday.

No, you see it works this way:
Michele badmouths the Red Sox: they win
Michele badmouths Yasser: he stays alive
Maybe if you started saying NICE things about the Bosox and Yasser, the former would lose and the latter would die.

If he hangs on until the next day, it would be my wedding anniversary. That would be pretty cool, too.

Weekend at ArFarts
They'll drag him around for days - pretending that bloated sack of protoplasms has any life juice left

I think you give him too much credit by calling him a sack of protoplasm.
We all know you meant sack of shit, anyway.
