I was listening to some of the older 2001-2002 episodes and there's mention of a guy named Tor who was causing a ruckus. I guess he has a blog too:
http://torhershman.blogspot.com/
Can any of the old-timers give some history on Tor vs. Tom?
-
I'd like to know what Tor was doing in Dallas in November of 1963. I think there's a story there.
-
That blog is absolutely horrifying. Tor is an old mutant troll. He's the spiritual godfather of He Who Shall Not Be Named.
-
Any truth to the rumors of a connection between this Tor and Mr. Halversom?

Masterofsparks was later found impaled on a recently-restored Columbus lamppost, with a note fixed to his shirt saying "You don't ask questions"

Wow, you're not kidding. He ends every post with "Stay on groovin' safari,
Tor" and instead of writing "I" he says "moi." :-[
-
wow that blog is great, i wonder if it has anything do do with the show?
-
Is that guy serious? He could be one of my husband's aunt's boyfriends.
-
He used to post on the WFMU messageboard (RIP), he was pretty crazy and I think he was the first to get banned.
-
Sorry for the extreme bump, but I recently heard the July 10, 2001 episode where Tom mentions Tor and some of the other message board "cockroaches." Tor calls in, does some horribe shtick, eventually gets hung up and Tom says he's banned. Then (I believe) during the Perry Farrell episode, someone calls that Tom says is banned, or at least his "other personality" was. I took this to be Tor. Finally for the whole point to this bump: the guy sounded exactly like Fredericks. I guess if I had reference times someone could agree with me or tell me I'm crazy.

Hey, walkin' around havin' heart attacks every other week makes a guy, well moi for sure thingy, grumpy.

Amazing. I'm working my way forward through the archives and just listened to these shows. It's cosmic, man...
In that "crusading" show, Tom saves most of his ire for some douche who kept abusing FMU DJ's on the message board under various user names. He seems mostly okay with Tor, until Tor calls over and over with different brands of schtick, which prompts the ban (although I can't recall hearing him get banned on the air). He called up like 5 times during that Perry Farrell show, and Tom insisted he had a lifetime ban each time.
I can hear some resemblance between his voice and Fredricks', although I also swear I hear at least one guy in every old show who sounds vaguely like Fredricks.

Tor looks eerily like one of my uncles. I read some of his blog. It's pretty fascinating.

Do you believe this is a coincidence?

Say, Scratch Bomb, could you give moi the date of that recording (Not the link) 'cause moi doesn't remember callin' in five times on any show and I'd like to make sure it ain't a fake Tor.
I only called in once not as Tor and that was to set-up Tom for the satiric Yahoo Group Fan Club I made for TBSOWFMU.
Gee, I sure nailed him real good like with moi's sound effect playin' and, being the vastly superior ShowBiz person that Tom is, he admitted it.
I (Oooooops, moi means 'moi'), of course, deleted that group right after Tom bit like a starvin' trout.
I must assume that Tom feels (Hence this thread) some new caller 'tis moi, but.....it ain't.
BTW the silence of the BMJs concerning videos speaks LOUDLY of their too coolness, videos that is – not BMJs.
Ohhhh, and to answer the REALLY burning question.....yes, I do cut moi's own hair unlike Dave Letterman who simply looks as if he does.
Oh Feces, moi fibbed, I did call in once as Barney Rubble/Yogi Bear/Ralph Cramden (Take yer pick) and was cut-off, toot-sweet!
Stay on groovin' safari,
8) Tor ;)

I'm scared, guys...
Hold me

I'm not.

I may be misremembering, but there was one show were several calls that Tom suspected belonged to someone who had "a lifetime ban". I don't even know if the name Tor is even mentioned during this show.
In any case, the show was in late July/early August 2001. Can't recall the exact show date.
-
I guess I should apologize for bumping this thread in the first place...only God knows what I have wrought.
However I did find the original caller that I thought sounded like Fredericks (and could have possibly been Tor). It's in the July 31, 2001 episode, about 1:29:50 in.
-
Cordobafett, that is not moi.
Mr. Scharpling 'twere incorrect that time if'in he 'twas referin' to moi.
BUT
speakin' of the "God" thingy......

So, does anyone else have any Tor sightings/listenings to be confirmed or denied?
Stay on groovin' safari,
:o Tor :o

*yawn*
Ok, you're weird. We GET it.
-
Geez, Tor. What's in the water way down yonder?
-
1. Weirder than your noggin could grasp.
2. What’s in the water(?)…..listen to moi’s “I’m Proud To Be In The Universe” to discover that.
-
"1. Weirder than your noggin could grasp."
Hoo boy, now it's on!
-
I wouldn't take that insult lying down.
-
This cat must be who Tom had in mind a few weeks back when he insisted that Spike was "only a little weird". Tor makes Spike look like he's playing with a full drawer of forks and spoons.
