derivateness /= value tho

after shakespeare everything's derivative.

That's why he's a great pick! He can be anything!

Al Swearengen at #5 is the steal of all 2p2 drafts

I don't think this, and I never said this.

This.

Here's my counteroffer to your counter offer: go **** yourself

digables · 08-01-2012, 05:27 PM

Al Swearengen: ****in' cold in here anyway.
Dolly: You want a blanket?
Al Swearengen: If I do, I'll put it round me. You ain't the boss of the ****in' bedclothes.

im glad someone was able to do some swearengen work for me

We need more people to post clips with their picks. Not that mine were world-beaters but no one else has even tried. Come on, entertain us!

Homer Simpson as the first animated character to go is... interesting. There's at least one leading character and a few supporting characters who I'd think should go first.

Also:
[Dan LeBetard] Omar is one of the best picks in this draft, but might not even be the best pick from his show[/Dan LeBetard]

I actually thought Swearengen might go #1 in all of this. He's the TV Character Lover's favorite TV Character.

edit: i dont' have time to put in a proper youtube video-- but someone please link some excellent clips of al for those who aren't familiar with deadwood, thanks

The clear #1 choice if ever there was one. Al Swearengen is simply the GOAT.
