the only quote I know from Liam Gallagher is "I'd believe in God if he appeared before me and pulled a giraffe out of his nose."

hardly funny or insightful, is it?

Imagine it being delivered in his manc twang as well...

Yeah, that quote in the story, designed to illustrate his great wit is a bit... generic. You may as well say "This BMW is a lot like eating a curry, and finding it's given you the ringstinging shits the next day," or "This new Ford is a lot like punching a jew, only to find he's the tax inspector assigned to investigate your finances" or "The latest VW is a like successfully murdering your stepdaughter, only discover the forensics team found her pubes all over your toothbrush." It's just a stupid, infinitely repeatable good thing/ dire consequences set up. Dismal. Bad Clarkson.

Maybe not. Wise rather than witty.

Who are the top ten wittiest people on TMO? - I bet the list is better than that one.

If we had a list for people who used to be witty, but aren't now, I would do well. I don't think anyone much would beat me there.

I dreamed about Noddy Holder last night, and in my dream I thought it was a massive coincidence that only a day after making this post, I should actually meet him, on a pirate ship that was running a 24 hour horror film marathon, that then sunk.

also, pull bandy. Recycling internet memes about gary coleman and knight rider shouldn't count. That guy beats me at everything. Height. cheekbones. Now this.

Is Tilde actually old-skool in disguise? otherwise how does he have fuck-all idea about who is witty during the entire history of TMO. I mean, there are people who were witty during maybe 2001-2006, and then couldn't come up with anything else. Are those people being taken into account.
