Here are everyone’s picks for who kicks in ’09.  A big shout-out to all 21 people who submitted their picks – and what awesome picks they are!  There are several standards, a couple unique selections, some memorable dark-horses, and Sean submitted an all Golden Girls bench!

Three things of note:

1.) Remember, YOU have to tell US when someone on your list goes; we’re not going to be able to keep up with everyone.

2.) You can rotate your line-ups at any time by emailing either Ben or myself.

3.) What’s the deal with more people choosing Obama than bin Laden?  Come on, America!

Here’s to 2009!  Let the expirations begin!

Just a reminder that the entry deadline for our 2009 Death Pool is 12/31/08 a.k.a. TODAY.

If for some reason you’re reading this and you haven’t submitted your picks for who’s gonna kick it in ’09, email your choices to Aaron (me) or to Ben (Ben) by 11:59 pm tonight.  We’ve got a ton of entries so far, and I wouldn’t want anyone to be left out!

See the official rules for more info, and remember, there will be an awesome prize for the winner, and it’s FREE to enter!!  You can’t lose!

Have a happy & safe New Year, everyone!

I just wanted to officially invite everyone who hasn’t heard about Ben’s & my Death Pool to partake in what is destined to showcase some of 2009′s most morbid finger-crossing!

You can hear about the Death Pool on our podcast, and/or read the official rules here.

Email your entries by Dec 31st (or sooner if you want a shout-out on the next ‘cast) to aaronisonline@gmail.com or ben@benparsons.com.  We’ll post everyone’s selections after 1/1/09 on both of our sites.

Also, as soon as we figure out what we’re calling the podcast, we’ll put a scoreboard up on the show’s site that we can all be checking throughout the year.  That’s also going to be where we’ll list all the DP’s fabulous prizes (as soon as we decide what the hell we’re giving the winners).

Sound fun?  Well, get to spec-ing!

If for some reason you’re still not involved in the p’cast revolution (maybe your mom grounded you from the internet, or you have a fear of completely awesome podcasts), but you want to be, you can subscribe to “the ben parsons podcast” on iTunes for all of your “how to kill just over an hour“-ly needs.

Thank you, everyone who is listening & giving us feedback.  You are all baracus.

Ben & I have moved to a more normal recording/publishing schedule for our still not-quite-named podcast.  Hopefully, from now on (although Christmas is Thursday), we will be recording Friday nights, and will have the ‘cast ready for your consumption on Saturday.  As such, p’cast numero dozen is fresh out of the oven and ready for your face.

In this episode, we discuss the winter wonderland that is Seattle (that was sarcastic), listen to some Christmas-themed awful poetry w/ Zack, and have a few holiday drinks with the show’s bartender, and my bestest pal, William.

ALSO, Ben & I announce our Official 2009 Death Pool.  Submit your famous names before Jan 1st, and be entered to win some fabulous prizes.  (Seriously, there will be prizes, we just don’t know what yet…)  Take a look at THE OFFICIAL RULES, and get to steppin’.  We’d love to hear from you before we record our year-end show next week!

Thank you so much for listening; I really mean it.  It’s a crazy time of year, and it’s been tough to get (what we think is) an hour of quality entertainment up every week.  Ben & I are working hard to keep making this thing better, and your support & suggestions are invaluable.

Thanks again!
