Judy | Friday, December 14, 2001 - 12:52 pm   LOL Crazydog! It is like another language down here in the south. I will work on a translation for you The jest of it was---they are in the middle of Africa living in the dirt and it STILL takes the women 30 minutes longer to "get ready" to go the the water hole. Frank says, 'thank goodness there are no mirrors or it would take an hour!' |
Awareinva | Friday, December 14, 2001 - 04:38 pm   LOL - should I be worried that I not only can understand Tom, but have heard about 90% of his little sayings from people I know???? My parents have a friend that is Tom personified- an southern farmer with a saying or story for everything! (This guy swears that the racoons and possums you see dead on the highway have committed suicide because they have rabies )Heck he probably knows Tom- they only live an hour away!!! I'll have to ask if I see him over Christmas vacation.  |
Awareinva | Friday, December 14, 2001 - 04:57 pm   Now Big Tom he can lecture and preach; To young Clarence he gave quite a speech; All quite useless I fear, 'Cause his words were unclear And their meaning was quite out of reach. To us Southerners, Tom is quite clear; Those who speak the same way are quite near; But to those far away All the things Tom does say, Could as easily come from his rear. |
Car54 | Saturday, December 15, 2001 - 06:56 am   Looks like Tom and Ethan remain good friends: Article about Tom |
Judy | Saturday, December 15, 2001 - 02:25 pm   ROFL @ Aware poem Thanks for the link Car...good article. Oh and apologies to Fruitbat---it IS Sugarbear that Tom calls Brandon. From Brandon's chat:
Quote:SurvivorFreak: Do you think your nickname SugarBear will stick with you? Survivor_Brandon: *laughs* Sadly, yes. A lot of people call me that since Big Tome has. Oh well, it's kind of cute. I live for Big Tom's messages on my answering maching and they always start with Sugar Bear.

Car54 | Saturday, December 15, 2001 - 02:28 pm   Interesting that Tom leaves messages for Brandon- when he led the charge to vote him off. |

Mckryan | Sunday, December 16, 2001 - 07:31 pm   I have a pic of Ethan with Tom and my SIL if anyone can tell me how to share it here! |
Moondance | Sunday, December 16, 2001 - 09:12 pm   Mckryan... put it in your profile... just click on 'edit profile' at the top of the page and you can upload it there
to see it! |
Urgrace | Sunday, December 16, 2001 - 09:43 pm   Judy and Aware! You are so right! Aware, your limerick is LOL great! |
Mckryan | Monday, December 17, 2001 - 09:01 am   Ahh..didn't think about that! Let me do that now. Okay, it's up. That's my SIL in the middle. |
Babyruth | Monday, December 17, 2001 - 09:07 am   LOVE the limericks!!! LOL |
Kep421 | Monday, December 17, 2001 - 09:23 am   Okay, I gotta ask...what's a SIL? Nice picture though...I almost didn't recognize Tom with his shirt on!!! |
Willi | Monday, December 17, 2001 - 09:27 am   Great picture! Ok...I'm guessing here but is SIL-Sister-In-Law? |
Kep421 | Monday, December 17, 2001 - 09:32 am   Thanks Willi...aw man, DUH!!!! (kep smacks forehead with palm of hand, closes her eyes tightly until the headache subsides) |
Mckryan | Monday, December 17, 2001 - 10:16 am   Yep, SIL is sister-in-law. It's my husband's sister. Her husband is related to Tom...I think they figured out that Tom's grandmother and my SIL's husband's granfather were brother and sister. Something like that. |
Willi | Monday, December 17, 2001 - 12:39 pm   LOL Kep. It's ok...We all need a little help now & then. (Here's some Tylenol for your poor head) |
Moondance | Monday, December 17, 2001 - 02:21 pm   Great pix Mckryan |
Knightpatti | Monday, December 17, 2001 - 07:10 pm   Love the picture! Thanks for sharing |
Urgrace | Monday, December 17, 2001 - 11:03 pm   Hey Mckryan! Nice picture! BTW I'm a former Georgia gal, one of the G.R.I.T.S. |
Mckryan | Tuesday, December 18, 2001 - 06:02 am   Urgrace - the weather down here has been great this year! It's a big change for me after spending the last 2 years in Chicago! Glad everyone is enjoying the picture. Ethan sure looks like a cutie. My SIL has gone to a couple of Survivor watching parties with Tom, and she says it's frustrating when they see previews and Tom can't say a word about it. He's doing really well keeping his mouth shut...unfortunately! =) |
Awareinva | Tuesday, December 18, 2001 - 08:22 am   Make sure you tell your SIL (hehehe) to mention our site to Big Tom next time she sees him . I'd love to know if he reads any of the stuff out there, and knows he has a big following. Great picture. Ethan doesn't look nearly as cute to me as when he was all scruffy with that wild hairdo and the stubble --- what does that say about my taste in men??? But Tom looked great! GO BIG TOM!  |
Mckryan | Tuesday, December 18, 2001 - 08:25 am   I will make sure to pass along TVCH to her to give to Tom. My SIL (too lazy to type it out) got my daughter one of Tom's shirts and has had it signed by Tom and Ethan. I may let her take it back with her to get more signatures as Survivors come to town. My daughter is going to be so excited when she sees the shirt! |
Kep421 | Tuesday, December 18, 2001 - 08:40 am   Wow, that's nice Mckryan...you sure have a nice SIL!!!!! |
Neko | Tuesday, December 18, 2001 - 02:24 pm   I wish I was related to someone related to Ethan!!Or any of the Survivors!! Great photo!Thanks for sharing though...Ethan *did* look better with the stubble and longer hair... |
