(wait, RJG are you Scots or English? sorry. I think I am confusing myself, I'm hung over).

I see dudes who look like Tuomas around all the time. I'm gonna have to start yelling "Are you Finnish?" more often.

My obvious answer to this thread is s.s. for, you know, marrying me and making the kid and all that.

alla y'all

one way or the other, good bad AND indifferent

emergent transformation - from the bottom up.

HOW THE HELL DOES THAT HAPPEN.

It helps to leave your computer and go to Spain.

We had about 14 Tuomasalikes staying next to us at ATP 06. I think they were Finnish.

Oh aye, I remember that. No shopping trolleys though.

Are you calling me a nerdy shut in!!!?? HOW DARE YOU!

Oh wait.

Trayce, Wednesday, 27 June 2007 12:40 (sixteen years ago) link

As soon as a I read that Tuomas story I had flashbacks of you mentioning your ATP Tuomaii (plural of Tuomas, no doubt)

g-kit, Wednesday, 27 June 2007 12:46 (sixteen years ago) link

There's probably a collective noun.

A Sundae Of Tuomaii?

onimo, Wednesday, 27 June 2007 14:15 (sixteen years ago) link

I have a photo of tuomas I could post if he didn't object

RJG, Wednesday, 27 June 2007 23:50 (sixteen years ago) link

Exactly what kind of photo of himself would Tuomas ever object to someone posting on the internet?

Pleasant Plains, Thursday, 28 June 2007 04:50 (sixteen years ago) link

one of him fully dressed in a respectable situation ;_;

the schef (adam schefter ha ha), Thursday, 28 June 2007 05:22 (sixteen years ago) link

before he gets offended, i'd also object to such photos of myself being posted on the internet.

the schef (adam schefter ha ha), Thursday, 28 June 2007 05:23 (sixteen years ago) link

Feel free to post the pic, RJG.

Tuomas, Thursday, 28 June 2007 06:08 (sixteen years ago) link

I don't have any fully dressed in a respectable situation photos of the schef (adam schefter ha ha)

RJG, Thursday, 28 June 2007 11:01 (sixteen years ago) link

Were you expecting a flooding or something, Tuomas?

nathalie, Thursday, 28 June 2007 11:05 (sixteen years ago) link

I must reciprocate Aimless's nomination. His poetry thread got me writing like crazy, jarring me out of my usual satiric prose rut.

Beth Parker, Thursday, 28 June 2007 13:03 (sixteen years ago) link

Was that pic taken on the road we met, RJG? I don't remember you taking a photo.

Tuomas, Thursday, 28 June 2007 13:54 (sixteen years ago) link

that mountain looks steep and treacherous, you are all very brave.

Ms Misery, Thursday, 28 June 2007 14:02 (sixteen years ago) link

I can't believe I was only mentioned twice.

ken c, Thursday, 28 June 2007 14:10 (sixteen years ago) link

omg

g-kit, Thursday, 28 June 2007 14:11 (sixteen years ago) link

swygart.

acrobat, Thursday, 28 June 2007 14:12 (sixteen years ago) link

I should note that this surely definitively settles the 'fake Tuomas' question, yes?

Ned Raggett, Thursday, 28 June 2007 14:15 (sixteen years ago) link

Not if RJG (or Cathy) is Fake Tuomas?

aldo, Thursday, 28 June 2007 14:24 (sixteen years ago) link

It's a tangled web, Ned.

John Justen, Thursday, 28 June 2007 14:25 (sixteen years ago) link

I vote that John should decide the issue, in the style of Solomon, by ordering someone chopped in half.

Ned Raggett, Thursday, 28 June 2007 14:29 (sixteen years ago) link

Was that pic taken on the road we met, RJG? I don't remember you taking a photo.

yes, I thought I may as well take a photograph, whether you were you or not you

that mountain looks steep and treacherous, you are all very brave.

it is a mountain, though

RJG, Thursday, 28 June 2007 16:09 (sixteen years ago) link

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Montju%C3%AFc

Actually, it seems it is merely a "hill". I was confused by the "Mont" part of the name, so I thought it was a mountain.

Tuomas, Thursday, 28 June 2007 18:50 (sixteen years ago) link

hmm

Results 1 - 10 of about 80,900 for montjuic mountain. (0.25 seconds)

Results 1 - 10 of about 42,600 for montjuic hill. (0.12 seconds)

does the time difference make a difference?

Unless it is a Scottish trick, amirite?

Also, Tuomas has the same lower half as Laurel.

Also here are Ian and me in 2002:

So I'm half real at least?

Tuomas, Thursday, 28 June 2007 19:07 (sixteen years ago) link

RJG, Thursday, 28 June 2007 19:08 (sixteen years ago) link

s1ocki, Thursday, 28 June 2007 19:08 (sixteen years ago) link

JW is the Third Full Head.

onimo, Thursday, 28 June 2007 19:10 (sixteen years ago) link

they had the transformative power of being funny

strongohulkington, Thursday, 28 June 2007 19:20 (sixteen years ago) link

and/or intelligent

strongohulkington, Thursday, 28 June 2007 19:20 (sixteen years ago) link

hooooooowl

strongohulkington, Thursday, 28 June 2007 19:20 (sixteen years ago) link

are you sure?

The Cursed Return of the Dastardly Thermo Thinwall, Thursday, 28 June 2007 20:01 (sixteen years ago) link

The obvious answers for me would be John Justen, Fluffy Bear, Sara R-C, naturallaw-dp and subgenius, seeing as they were all either a) in my elementary school/middle school/high school posse, or b) my older brother.

HI DERE, Thursday, 28 June 2007 20:09 (sixteen years ago) link

your brother posts to ilx now???

strongohulkington, Thursday, 28 June 2007 20:15 (sixteen years ago) link

i'm not sure which is more surreal - the photo or the story itself. clearly this mountain-hill is where WORLD FAP will take place.

gabbneb, Thursday, 28 June 2007 20:19 (sixteen years ago) link

He posted to ILM for a while, Jess! Scan the hip-hop threads for one-liners from naturalaw-dp; that's him.

HI DERE, Thursday, 28 June 2007 20:19 (sixteen years ago) link

that was great, when we met tuomas by chance. meeting pete in paris by chance was great too. I wonder if in the next european city we visit we will run into geir hongro.

it looked like a mountain to me.

Cathy, Friday, 29 June 2007 14:40 (sixteen years ago) link

I went up Montjuic when I was in Barcelona a month ago. Didn't see any ilxors though. It's definitely a hill. It also has escalators going up it, but not all the way up.

Grandpont Genie, Friday, 29 June 2007 14:45 (sixteen years ago) link

I think it's a mountain or a hill
