Put them all together to summon Christopher Walken!

I once had a "roommate"* for several months that did a ridiculously good Walken impersonation. Like, good enough that if you recorded it and played it back to back with a real Walken recording, it would be extremely difficult to tell them apart.

The problem was, he would do this constantly. Sometimes going days in end refusing to speak normally. I once overhear him dirty talking to himself while masturbating and using the voice. It was awful.

*Very long, funny-in-the-telling type of story that was genuinely fucking awful

Are you sure your roommate wasn't Christopher Walken?

Oh, God, that would have been so much better. He was truly awful. Like, honestly, just the absolute worst. Tried to get me murdered once, too.
