But Your Headaches Are Actually In Your Head.
Last night, I watched the extended 'Health and Safety' episode of QI on a television with rather poor reception. The static and jumpy picture made it look as if Jeremy Clarkson leant over to make out with David Mitchell over the credits. I was deeply confused.
Typing that has made me realise that I sort of want fanfiction about Clarkson and Mitchell. Not necessarily Clarkson/Mitchell (not really a pairing I want to see, although were someone to write it I would be forced to read out of sheer curiosity), but stories in which they're thrown together somehow and forced to work with each other in spite of their differences. Take Mitchell's excessive caution and Clarkson's 'if it's not working, you haven't hit it with a hammer enough' approach, and then apply that combination to any extreme situation.
Seriously, this would be amazing. Clarkson and Mitchell are trapped in the Arctic! Clarkson and Mitchell in the zombie apocalypse! Clarkson the Hufflepuff (everyone at Hogwarts is as surprised that he's not a Slytherin as you, but I am irrationally convinced that he is a Hufflepuff) and Mitchell the Ravenclaw (I don't think there's any doubt on this point) trying to subdue the leaderless Death Eaters after Voldemort's defeat! I was going to say 'forget fanfiction; let's make it into a sitcom', but then I realised that would basically be Peep Show.
On an unrelated note, here is a video of Darren Criss putting on a surprise public performance of 'Part of Your World' from The Little Mermaid.
Darren Criss, you have made things so awkward for me by being my perfect man. I was already doomed never to find love, and now you've made my doom that much more certain by giving me extremely specific standards.
(I also have a bit of a crush on Blaine, his character in Glee, who is highly unlikely to reciprocate on account of being, amongst other things, fictional. WHEN WE FIRST MEET BLAINE, HE'S CHECKING A POCKETWATCH. IT'S ONLY VISIBLE FOR A MOMENT, BUT IT'S THERE. BLAINE HAS A POCKETWATCH, GUYS. I DON'T EVEN KNOW WHY THAT'S HOT, BUT IT IS.)

They even named the character Jeremy! (Also, both Mark and Jeremy are Peep Show fans.)
I think you should write these things. I don't know how to write David Mitchell - I haven't seen the million panel shows you've seen, and it takes me ages to pin down cautious and introverted types - swimming with sharks turned out to be far less scary than I thought, and my cautious moment of the day was to skip out of the "Jump in a six foot underground chamber with no stairs or ladder or way out other than climbing the walls" part of tromping around the ancient ruined city.

I was extremely confused before realising that, unless you were referring to this picture, you probably meant Top Gear. I doubt that Mark would be a Peep Show fan. Jeremy, lacking the self-awareness to realise it's about him, may well be. (Also, he would think Jeremy is a totally reasonable character.)
...you know, maybe we should have adventures together and then base the Mitchell-and-Clarkson fanfiction on that.

...we so should have adventures! With explosions and fire!
ETA: All of that stuff with the sunburns and the water fall and the manta rays was an extremely good day. I just realized this might not be obvious to people.
