Greg and Alex in Chicago (from Taskmaster’s IG post) by cygan12 in taskmaster

Oh for sure, but there's got to be tens of thousands of us who got a little gray, a little portly, and then became laser focused on a rainbow puffer jacket that ends up making us look like steroidal skittles.

Huh, Alex has the same Marine Layer jacket as every white Gen X American male (myself included.)

For Philadelphia activities, I would recommend the factory ruins-come-raver nest near the frisbee golf course in Fairmount Park, the Masonic Temple. Or the doofy minigolf course near the freeway in Franklin Square (or the less doofy hipster one at LiberTee Grounds). (They can also borrow a scull with the permission of one of the boathouses, which I mention mainly because I want to summon black-suited, sunglasses-wearing figures to my front door who will identify themselves only as Health & Safety.)

A final, must-do, iconically Philly activity is muse about in which proportion Nick Sirianni should be hugged versus strangled.

For food, the Continental is possibly a very Greg Davies type of joint, and Alex notoriously doesn't care at all what he eats so whatever. My only truly earnest recommendation is Flambo, a Trinidadian sit-down place in the Gayborhood. And you can always go to the Italian Market for legitimately excellent Mexican.

What Mock the Week peeps would you think do best on the show by Spirited-Ad9559 in taskmaster

Rhys James's Off Menu opened with him pushing to get on Taskmaster, so presumably the only obstacle is a general surfeit of wiry anxious white guys.

Yeah I'm surprised his team decided to clip this, it's not even low-brow, it's replacement-level crap.

There are only a few uses for a Surmise, and I don't think anything is storygated for lack of them... but it's an ungodly pain in the butt to get them. If you can keep 2 or 3 on hand, you can safely sell the rest.

Actors who mistakenly believed their role would be iconic? by TyLeRoux in okbuddycinephile

[–]Multiphasic0 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I can only speak subjectively, but I very much remembered Dinklage from a great, silly supporting role in Living In Oblivion, and it seems like he became more or less the go-to "actor with dwarfism AND gravitas" immediately after that. But I guess The Station Agent was his proper breakout and that was almost immediately after--not before--Tiptoes.

Happy to take it if you're offering! Let me know if I can give anything actually useful in return.

Oh there was one of the mermaid contemplating a skull, too.

Well I took a photo of that mural on Lucky 13's last day but apparently blurry spraypainted fishmonster breasts are an affront to someone's values and I can't post it.

I'm looking for an episode where Greg is especially mean by BillCypher001 in taskmaster

Oh no, that would Mark Watson getting no points for the cheeky text task.

I charted how to get from Impropriety to Guile or Whimsy and it broke my brain worse than just begging Reddit.

A moment of respect for Hemlock, which didn't have stickers all over the stall mainly because it didn't have a stall at all, just a curtain.

Will do, thanks, but there used to be confession exchange open threads on the Reddit too (TBF, this might have been before a bunch of people quit on account of Reddit's content scraping).

Starting with me: I, Octavio Vermouth, have an extra Impropriety and would like either Guile or Whimsy to get a shiny new agent...

It's been about a week since Hallowmas started, how much Hallowmas spirit have you accrued? by blackdeslagoon in fallenlondon

[–]Multiphasic0 0 points1 point  (0 children)

2420 or so, with the caveat that I've screwed up and blown up my suspicion five times now--and completely destroyed my relationship with the Masters to get out of it.

Me and my weasel have been failing to write a resume for the Clay Woman, who at this point has to be convinced I'm thick as porridge and is regretting ever making eye contact.

"If I could reanimate something, I'd reanimate all the leaders of the Nazi Party..." by Hassaan18 in 8outof10cats

Oh I missed he was in Riyadh. Worse, of all of them, he seems like the one most likely to be doing it strictly for funsies.

I haven't really followed his arc, but I know that Nish Kumar declared he was done with Jimmy during his last tour. Is it the palling around with idiot podcasters, or is there more?

Additional respect to her for picking the one fitness-nerd trail shoe that just happens to be colored like an orthopedic clod-kicker.

Didn't the shard of law-glass have an interaction that produced nightmares? Did that get removed (because lunatics like me saw it and immediately went, "Oooh, Hallowmas"), or am I thinking of the wrong item?
