“What brings them together? A shared passion for Jolly Ranchers.” And Photoshop!
That is a really creepy picture of Tom.
My geekiest story is playing D.A.R.Y.L. with my best friend in 1985. I was 10 then, and was obviously Daryl. My best friend was the biggest tomboy ever, so we had to come up with a name for her. She became T.O.M.M.I. (too long ago to remember what it stood for). After that, we ended up having to come up with another 5 names for our group of friends. Not sure how a group of 10 year olds came up with that many different versions of the same thing, but I do know it was a blast. Flying the SR-71 Blackbird was the best part.
