Peter O'Toole, 1932-2013, one of the greatest actors who ever lived.
He specialized in characters who were a bit detached from reality - either because they were too idealistic or too insane or both. He played the great British figure TE Lawrence in a performance that Premiere magazine called the single best in the first century of cinema.
He played King Henry II in two movies adapted from plays, Becket and The Lion in Winter, the former alongside Richard Burton and the latter alongside Katherine Hepburn, Anthony Hopkins, and Timothy Dalton. In the satirical black comedy The Ruling Class he played a refined nobleman who believes himself to be Jesus Christ and Jack the Ripper after a psychotic break. He was Don Quixote in Man of La Mancha and megalomaniacal movie director Eli Cross in the little-known but influential American thriller art film The Stunt Man.
Almost everything he was in was great. Try and watch some of it. This is acting.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l4S6iKING5ISome more Peter O'Toole stories, to demonstrate how awesome he was.
"Due to his erratic driving, a number of people refused to be a passenger in O'Toole's car. He attempted to drive his future wife, actress Sian Phillips, to Rome for a last-minute holiday. They ended up in Yugoslavia.
When filming 1960's Kidnapped, he became friends with the Australian actor Peter Finch, also a fond boozer. When they were refused a drink after closing time during a session at an Irish pub, they wrote a cheque to buy the pub so they could have another drink. Having sobered up the next day, they rushed back to cancel their purchase.
They ended up befriending the landlord, even attending his funeral. While sobbing as the casket was lowered, the pair soon realised they were at the wrong funeral. Their pal was being buried 100 yards away.
When an assistant went to fetch the actor from his dressing room on the set of 1968's Great Catherine, he found no sign of life but a television blaring out horse racing that was going on nearby. The camera zoomed in, and there was O'Toole, cheering on the steeds. A car was sent to bring him back to work.
In the 1970s, he reportedly went out for lunch with friends, accompanied by several bottles of wine. Later on that evening the group decided to take in a play but when they got to their seats, O'Toole realised he was supposed to be in the show.
O'Toole regularly had to break into his house because of his refusal to carry keys (he never carried a wallet or wore a watch either). He had to explain to police, on more than one occasion, why he was climbing through windows.
He appeared on the Late Show with David Letterman in 1995, arriving on stage atop a camel and smoking a cigarette from an elegant holder. After dismounting, he informed the host, "my noble transport is a little thirsty", and duly fed the beast a can of beer."

So how'd they bring him back?
Convoluted plot or Kenny style?

save your money, save your dongers
It just feels like family guy is so much mental masturbation now for Seth which it probably always has been but I found it funnier five years ago.

I could have told you bro
They said it was like terraria
@quid knew.
I don't wear slippers, I just go bare foot if I'm lounging about
But I have furry feet so it's kind of the same thing
I'm an average gentleman and my dong is the same.
Wait I'm bad at rapping.
do I ask/comment on her tatts
do tatt-people even communicate with non-tatt-people
agh
You can ask about her tattoos
or not
It's up to you! It provides a good opening for discussion, but it's not absolutely necessary. Keep in mind if she has a lot of really visible pictures of her tattoos, there's a decent chance a lot of people ask about them.
Last time I spoke with a tattoo girl she got angry and stopped talking with me after she asked me about my tattoos and I told her I wasn't interested in getting one. So maybe tatt-people don't communicate with non-tatt-people, but I think that was just her. If you get a tattoo, it just makes you a normal person with a tattoo, it doesn't fundamentally make you a fundamentally different category of person.
Who knows she could be very open to conversation about her tats or be bored to tears from people ALWAYS commenting about her tats.
Roll for initiative.
nah, it was actually kind of clever.
It wasn't terrible, and they actually made use of one of the cutaway gags in the actual show.
Let's play Mario Kart or something...
this muh fucka dug me into the core of the earth
I never played any of these type of games!
I dunno about other people
but people often ask me like ' where did you get your work done'
and usually I know they have no tattoos and don't really care
plus they are not going to fly to san diego or austin to get work done
so I just idk
Ask her if she has any tattoos of Peter O'Toole. Then progress naturally from there until you have four children together. Easy.
They don't communicate with non-tats you're at like a 80% disadvantage.
Do not make tattoo comments first.
