The 2014 Uncle Jack Ghoul Pool

Ok humans, it's time to batten down the hatches, and prepare for the worst, it's time for the 2014 Uncle Jack Ghoul Pool!

For those of my loyal fans, you know what this time of year means: death, destruction, and all sorts of mayhem and chaos.

Once again, this year Uncle Jack will not be visiting us, we are sending the Human Man out to visit him and grandma and grandpa Human Man for the safety of the East Coast as we know it.  I pity the West Coast, it was nice knowing you.

Every time the Human Man's relatives get into one central area along with Uncle Jack, something horrible happens in the world.  Typically there is a horrific natural (or unnatural) disaster, and someone famous dies.

Check out the history of Uncle Jack Ghoul Pool at these links:

Here is the back story

And here

Some more

Even more

So you see... it's about to get all freaky in here, so get your guesses in now.

I realize that a lot of that has happened recently (and can probably be blamed on Uncle Jack) such as the passing of Robin Williams, and today's massive earthquake in California (oh the woomanity).

The official start time for Uncle Jack's Ghoul Pool starts on Saturday 30 August 2014, so you have until then to guess:

1.) The horrific natural (or unnatural) disaster anywhere in the world
2.) The unexpected death of a famous person

Put your guesses in the comments and we'll see who wins.  Remember, nobody really wins anything, you just get the satisfaction of knowing you contributed to the horribly events that will occur soon.  So you have that going for ya.

I'll just be hanging out here where it's safe

Ghoul Pool

Well, another year, and it is time for the annual family vacation ghoul pool. 

If you aren't familiar with the ghoul pool, click here.

As like last year, the human man went out to visit Uncle Jack, so we're left here with the Human Woman.  We started off our "vacation" with a vigorous clawing when we had a thunderstorm AND the neighbors shot off fireworks. 

So, anyway, get your guesses in for the horrible natural catastrophe and famous person unexpectedly dying.  The winner gets the satisfaction that they can predict horrible natural catastrophes and famous people dying, but hey... that's pretty cool.

Here is a picture of the pathetic Mutatoe guarding his water bowl.

Laborless Day

Yawn everybody!  Its apparently "Labor Day" for the humans, which means for the past few days, the Human Woman has been laboring.  She's been like a total freak cleaning the house with garbage bags.  We feel it has something to do with the disappearance of the Human Man, who the Human Woman claims she took to the airport... but we're beginning to wonder if he isn't really stuffed in one of those contractor bags.  We're waiting for the tell-tale odor of good stinky roll in it smell.

We've been very helpful though

As some of you have remembered... its usually the time that Uncle Jack comes to visit, which means:

• Horrible catastrophe (natural and man-caused)
• The unexpected death of a celebrity

This year, the Human Man went to visit Uncle Jack... leaving us here alone with the psychotic Human Woman and her contractor bags of doom.  This doesn't mean that there won't be a horrible catastrophe, or an unexpected death of a celebrity, because the rule is: if more than one of the Human Man's family is located in the same area at one time, chaos and wackiness ensues.  It'll be a triple whammy on Thursday, so you have until then to get in your ghoul pool guesses:

• Horrible catastrophe
• Celebrity death

Just comment on the blog with your guesses and we'll see who wins.

Just as a hint:

I'm just sayin...

Uncle Jack Ghoul Pool

Yes everyhusky (dog, girl-girl, huffle, wilbur, tia, tervs... ok, this is getting ridiculous, from now on its just everyhusky and just assume I mean the various and sundry everybody), its almost time for Uncle Jack's annual visit.

For those of you who are new, I'll do a little recap:
Uncle Jack visits us the first week of September every year, and every year someone famous dies, and there's a horrible natural (or terrorist) disaster. Like clockwork he is, bad things happen when Uncle Jack comes to town.

Some of Uncle Jack's more famous visits:
September 11th (yes, THAT September 11th)
Hurricane Katrina
Steve Irwin (who saw that one coming?)

Just do a search on the blog for "Uncle Jack" and you can read all about the carnage.

As I've done for a few years now, its apparently time to start the ghoul pool to guess what famous person will kick the bucket when Uncle Jack is in town. Holly Bolly Boo asked me earlier if Uncle Jack had snuck into town early, as we've lost Bernie Mac AND Isaac Hayes all in one weekend. The only thing I can say about that is, no, Uncle Jack isn't here yet, and if those famous people are going now, it'll be a grand ghoul pool this year, with a pretty nice natural disaster too!

Ok, so get your guesses in now until Uncle Jack arrives 31 August. Remember, the moment he gets on the plane, every celebrity is fair game, no matter how healthy (remember Steve Irwin... and yes, Opy and Charlie I'M SORRY, I have no control over who it is).

Leave your guesses in the comment section and may the best pup win!

OH! Before I forget, Khyra bestowed the Kind Blogger award to all of the SMS crew. I'm quite honored to be a member of SMS and to receive such a wonderful award, but I have to hug my fluffiness at the irony that I'm asking for ghoul pool nominations in the same blog entry where I'm displaying a "Kind Blogger" award. Heeeee!
