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.)

Hufflepuff is the most inclusive among the four houses, valuing hard work, patience, friendship and fair play rather than a particular aptitude in its members - from the HP wiki

LOLOL I WOULD LOVE TO SEE JEREMY GET STUCK IN HUFFLEPUFF AND FORCED TO LEARN ALL FOUR ATTRIBUTES.

JEREMY CLARKSON, THAT WELL-KNOWN SYMBOL OF PATIENCE AND FAIR PLAY. YES. HUFFLEPUFF THROUGH AND THROUGH.

Their house mascot or whatever is the badger.

That part, I can agree, is Jeremy Clarkson.

Rabid, vicious, terrible hair, and yet somehow adorable.

Jeremy would insist it was a HONEY badger. Richard (the massivest Gryffindor to ever Gryffindor) says that explains his fascination with male genitalia. James the Ravenclaw points out that honey badgers don't even have a fascination with the male genitalia, so Richard's joke is wrong anyway.

Also, Tonks was a Hufflepuff!
