I'm so depressed

Wkiw Steve at the coast.

Getting some Ted Bundy vibes from ~meet Peter at the theatre~

John eats kebab meat straight off the skewer

bob looks fun but idk about tuesday disco so instead I'm plumping for adrian, the man looks engaged

Seeing John again = John is a blast and/or puts out

Bob The Disco

El Tomboto, Friday, 29 September 2017 14:27 (eight years ago)

i'd party with Bob tbh

circa1916, Friday, 29 September 2017 14:31 (eight years ago)

Bob looks a little too fast for me, i'd like a drive down to the coast and a cuddle with Steve

be the cringe you want to see in the world (Noodle Vague), Friday, 29 September 2017 14:46 (eight years ago)

i suspect peter might also be john, cunningly disguised with a side parting

i was gonna go for a day at the coast with steve, but then i noticed his motorcycle, so i assume i'd need to share the bike with him? what if he turned out to be a creep and then i'm stuck in the middle of nowhere with no way to get home

i think i'm gonna have to go shopping with adrian but he'd better be paying

the idea of alex mansplaining squash to me is too much to bear

Mr. Eulon Mask, urging the UN to ban the "homicide robot" (bizarro gazzara), Friday, 29 September 2017 14:53 (eight years ago)

Alex screams "future male-pattern baldness," do not want.

Monster fatberg (Phil D.), Friday, 29 September 2017 14:57 (eight years ago)

none of these sound very good tbh
in terms of harm reduction i'm going with "day at the coast with steve" because who knows what there is to get up to "at the coast" whereas those other activities sound pretty specific

weird woman in a bar (La Lechera), Friday, 29 September 2017 15:00 (eight years ago)

wtf at this blatant baldophobia in ilx of all places xp

Mr. Eulon Mask, urging the UN to ban the "homicide robot" (bizarro gazzara), Friday, 29 September 2017 15:01 (eight years ago)

Squash with Alex is definitely the least appealing.

I chose Disco Bob just because I want to see how that hilariously large melon is supported by that scrawny body.

the last famous person you were surprised to discover was actually (man alive), Friday, 29 September 2017 15:02 (eight years ago)

tennis club bbq sounds revolting -- i was about to vote chinese meal with john then i saw "tennis club" and was like no
it's steve. he is the only choice.

the back of Bob's head more or may not be on fire

Coastal Steve looks like a nice guy. He looks like he'd probably pull a folded up piece of paper out of his pocket and say "This is a poem I wrote, it's just like some thoughts I had about stuff"

cap-C for coast is a real klaxon

(most of the other capping is also wrong but this is "why yes, that *is* my name for the 'place' i'm taking you to")

i 'd rather be killed by coastal steve than lectured by peter about theater or alex about squash

weird woman in a bar (La Lechera), Friday, 29 September 2017 15:08 (eight years ago)

i mean not really but in this hypothetical universe steve could just be a cool guy who likes to chill at the coast
maybe he is totally fine!

weird woman in a bar (La Lechera), Friday, 29 September 2017 15:10 (eight years ago)

at least you'd be murdered in a scenic location, i guess

maybe i'm coming around to coastal steve after all

Mr. Eulon Mask, urging the UN to ban the "homicide robot" (bizarro gazzara), Friday, 29 September 2017 15:10 (eight years ago)

maybe he is totally fine!
classic "famous last words"
but still he *could* be totally fine and then i would just have a nice chill day at the coast with steve vs lectures or shaming or worse yet shopping

weird woman in a bar (La Lechera), Friday, 29 September 2017 15:11 (eight years ago)

A world in which this week is the ideal for a woman seems like a world in which it would be really exhausting to be a woman.

the last famous person you were surprised to discover was actually (man alive), Friday, 29 September 2017 15:12 (eight years ago)

it is a chill day at the Coast, that's not the same thing at all

mark s, Friday, 29 September 2017 15:15 (eight years ago)

So is John 'hilariously' telling us in the first pic that he doesn't understand what all this foreign muck's about? He's game for it anyway though, what a chap.

every week being a woman is exhausting

weird woman in a bar (La Lechera), Friday, 29 September 2017 15:27 (eight years ago)

Mr. Eulon Mask, urging the UN to ban the "homicide robot" (bizarro gazzara), Friday, 29 September 2017 15:27 (eight years ago)

john looks totally fine in the chinese restaurant pic -- he betrays his true essence when he chooses to attend the tennis club

weird woman in a bar (La Lechera), Friday, 29 September 2017 15:31 (eight years ago)

This is giving off vibes of one of those interactive web games of yesteryear, but instead of getting to shag Arianne you get to decide which serial killer will dismember you.

めんどくさかった (Matt #2), Friday, 29 September 2017 15:33 (eight years ago)

yeah gotta go with Steve

.oO (silby), Friday, 29 September 2017 15:35 (eight years ago)

is the menu actually in hanzi characters? does that make john better or worse?

mark s, Friday, 29 September 2017 15:36 (eight years ago)

John is viscerally unpleasant and I'm not sure why the ad's interlocutor was so excited to see him get sauce all over his fingers and tits

.oO (silby), Friday, 29 September 2017 15:38 (eight years ago)

which is a worse look for john, the turtleneck sweater and boxy blazer or the polo that accentuates his bust

.oO (silby), Friday, 29 September 2017 15:39 (eight years ago)

had to see him again so she could get reimbursed for his half of the chinese meal tbf

Mr. Eulon Mask, urging the UN to ban the "homicide robot" (bizarro gazzara), Friday, 29 September 2017 15:39 (eight years ago)

probable murder and certain mansplaining to one side for a moment, rank and summarise them purely sartorially (not to say spitefully)

mark s, Friday, 29 September 2017 15:44 (eight years ago)

there it is

Mr. Eulon Mask, urging the UN to ban the "homicide robot" (bizarro gazzara), Friday, 29 September 2017 15:58 (eight years ago)

is that the clothes ranking or does it include faces?

mark s, Friday, 29 September 2017 15:59 (eight years ago)

actually, the more i look at bob, the more i'm getting powerful jimmy savile vibes from him

Mr. Eulon Mask, urging the UN to ban the "homicide robot" (bizarro gazzara), Friday, 29 September 2017 15:59 (eight years ago)

Le Bateau Ivre, Friday, 29 September 2017 16:01 (eight years ago)

what i want and need to know is, will alex and john ever learn about each other, perhaps at a racquet-based sports event, and if so how will that go down? they seem like they could be good friends.

Okay, obv not real. The Mrs Brown's Boys one was convincing to me b/c it's the kind of innocuous shit they do have, but then why would they mention it by name? Basically I've had five hours sleep and I don't usually fall for believing in parodic shit and now I'm over-explaining myself and just making myself look more stupid... fuck.

I dated a Charlotte like in the joke ad above. Wouldn't do it again, I'll tell you that.

carpet_kaiser, Sunday, 1 October 2017 00:28 (eight years ago)

I think Alex looks nicest, but the squash thing makes me think he has some type A competitive occupation - like a lawyer or investment banker - and while he might have interesting things to say about his job, he's probably a dick and relatively amoral because he's focused on winning.

Adrian is totally gonna cheat, probably with both women and men.

Bob is obviously a paedo

Steve is sweet, but not that bright, and has a violent temper when he has too much to drink, which is often, which is why he likes to go up the coast, because it allows him to clear his head and avoid his "mates" with whom he gets drunk down the pub almost every night

John is totally an asshole, and has traditional views of women, and will definitely belittle and humiliate you in public

Peter has a domineering mother, and is very stiff, except when you want him to be ... and he will make it out to be totally your fault that he cannot sexually perform.

So ... I guess I'm going with Alex.
