Best story EVAR!!!
You know why my life doesn't suck? Because sometimes when I put out a distraction distress call greensilver IMs me with THE BEST STORY IN THE HISTORY OF THE UNIVERSE.
greensilver: So, David Tennant and Hugh Dillon run into each other at the grocery store in the vegetable aisle
me: I LOVE YOU ::props chin in hand and waits for the best story ever to continue::
greensilver : Hugh is mentally penning a song about how much he fucking hates vegetables, and Tennant is picking his vegetables based on color
me: !!! <3 <3 <3 <3 !!!
greensilver: and they wander closer from opposite ends of the vegetable aisleuntil they're right next to each other, sort of off in their oblivious vegetable hating/picking worlds and Tennant notices that Hugh is giving the vegetables a death glare. And he's all, "oi, what did that eggplant ever do to you?" and Hugh gives him a look that quite definitively tells him to fuck off and goes to look for something non-vegetable
me: you realize that, this is why if there was an apocalypse, and I could only save a very few people, you would be on the shortlist?
greensilver: only they run into each other again in the crisps aisle, where Hugh is mellower, because he does not hate salty snack foods as he hates vegetables. And Tennant is picking out snacks by color again. And Hugh notices, and he's curious, but he doesn't want to get drawn into a conversation with the eggplant guy by asking, so he lets it go. Only he winds up behind Tennant at check-out, and finally he's like, "why the fuck is everything in your basket fucking purple?" And then Tennant has to explain - at length, and didn't Hugh just know it would happen like that - that
(choose your own adventure)
a) he is on the latest purple diet
b) his new girlfriend really loves purple
c) there was a clause in his Who contract prohibiting him from ever eating purple foods and now he is going to gorge on them because he is free, free!
me: C! I CHOOSE C!
greensilver: d) he didn't actually notice he was buying all purple foods, it was coincidental
me: no, wait, I choose D because he's LYING. Also, you forgot f) because purple is the color of his newest velvet jacket and he wanted to match
greensilver: possibly it is D and he's lying because he doesn't want to admit that he wants his snacks to match his jacket at the party that night
me: ::nods seriously::
greensilver: but Tennant is a rubbish liar and Hugh just kind of looks at him and Tennant gives in and admits that he has this fantastic new velvet jacket and he's clearly torn between being wildly enthusiastic about his jacket and his coordinating snacks and a bit embarrased at being called on it by some guy in checkout
me: I don't suppose there will be Guitar Hero being played at this party later? ::looks hopeful::
greensilver: well, clearly, just wait for it
me: ::waits patiently and wallows in the AWESOME::
greensilver: so Hugh, partly because he feels bad about making this guy feel bad about his velvet jacket and partly just to fuck with him, makes up a story about how his band used to coordinate their shirts to their booze, and Tennant isn't sure whether that story is actually awesome or not but he winds up inviting Hugh to the party anyway, because it's Hugh
me: <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 !!!!!!!!!!!!
greensilver: where Hugh repeatedly kicks Tennant's ass at Guitar Hero, as he would. And he stands around mocking the purple snacks, and being really nice to Catherine Tate, and then they become sekrit BFF.
me: I LOVE YOU SO MUCH YOU DONT EVEN KNOW
greensilver: I do believe that's the end of the story. Except for the part where Hugh and Tennant call each other up to play Guitar Hero over the phone, as I hear people do nowadays.
me: IT IS THE BEST STORY EVER
