Grab Bag Draft: Game Thread - Page 2 - Puzzles and Other Games Forum

Didn't really want to be first in this draft, but oh well.

For round 1, I'll take Louis C.K. in the stand-up comedian category. It feels like one of the safest bets of the draft to me, but I guess we'll see!

louis ck barely even raped anyone. you should draft bill cosby. he's much more accomplished. or at least woody allen or something

or at least someone funny

It's not my favourite movie from the decade, but I think it's the most crowd pleasing and will be the pick that some were thinking of.

way to sell out!

looks like solid lolfilthy there for picking a solo artist rather than a frontman/woman

what if judging criteria gives credit to sports that are actually enjoyable to watch and play?

Lol T-Swizzle...

A good frontman/whoaman is more than just a lead singer, even if you claim she has a band.

Its about personality and character that makes their music more than it otherwise would be. Worst category fit ever

Dangerous pick for this site, even if it is clearly the best choice.

Louis CK and Pulp Fiction seem like decent picks. Zelda and soccer seem a tier above. And, of course, lol filthy.

she's not a particularly talented singer or musician. she's a kinda good songwriter and lyricist. she's not super hot. but she's like just about the biggest star in the world

For serious Ben & Jerry ice cream connoisseurs (even Taylor swift and her session musicians)...there is only one ice cream....that perfect connection of fruity and chocolatey. The megaseller made of Cherry Ice Cream with cherries and fudge chips:

Named for the fat singer with a Touch of Grey that probably ate his fair share:

Cherry Garcia

what would the Taylor Swift ice cream flavor be?

Definitely vanilla

with white chocolate swirl because it's pretending it's chocolate.

Plus a big giant truffle in it since it's such a great front candy.
