League of Champions!

Tom's looking out for us.

[mjperson.livejournal.com]

We were driving around Saturday morning and ran smack into a giant road race in Powderhouse circle, with hastily closed streets, and the chaos of racers with strollers going down the lanes of traffic...

People in the car all said, "Why didn't Tom warn us?"

We later discovered it was because he was busy defending the Earth from alien invasion the night before. Go Tom!

Oh, yeah. There's some hardcore parent-runners out there. How else are you going to find the time to stay in shape if you can't take the kids with you, anyway?

These are races that most of the participants run for fun, not as a competition.

Tom does this for us because he loves us.

wait, you didn't get the call?

/idly wondering how long before Tom stops calling me Edie. (o;

Hey, JT:

It's Edward Tattershall who called you Edie which -- considering the fact that to him you are, and always will be, Corporal Edith Mann of the Massachusetts National Guard-- makes/made perfect sense.

In Edward's memory, I may just have to go right on calling you Edie. So there.

Thanks to my colleagues in 311 for the TEMPORARY loan of the LJ account.

That would be so convenient!

5. The Somerville High teams are called "The Highlanders" only because Tom told them that outside of Somerville, "The Champions" would be taken to mean something else entirely.

SO AWESOME. :-D

[spatch]

Every single word of this post is absolutely true.

6. Tom's scream as Edward Tattershall was not in fact his death - it was a scream of rage and defiance, after which he leapt onto the tripod armed only with a broken bottle.

7. At parties, when someone asks God to tell a story, he lets Tom Champion tell it.

7. Tom Champion glows under stage lights. :)

I think I saw Tom Champion in underpants a few nights ago.

Is it possible? Was I hallucinating? :-)

[trowa-barton.livejournal.com]

Tom Champion does not sleep. He waits.

In these tough economic times, this city needs the financial boost it will only be able to get through the manufacture and sale of Tom Champion action figures.

[djdreilinger.livejournal.com]

I was thinking T-shirts, myself.

[snoopymel.livejournal.com]

I want the T shirt!

Tom: The Breakfast of Champions.

Mmmmmm.... Zap Zap

[chanaleh.livejournal.com]

I charge thespian with researching how to make this happen.

[geekpixie.livejournal.com]

Only if they have pull cords and say :"Hi, this is Tom Champion for the City of Somerville..." =)

[usernamenumber.livejournal.com]

Doooood, YES. =:)
