Tom noted that the ladies seemed to be out in full-force for last night's show, and it made me think of the impressive, growing roster of FOT females in a historically male-centric fanbase, especially with new-ish additions like SWISS MISS, Erika, Susannah, etc. I mean, just to run down a partial list:
Emily the Artist
Laurie from Miami
Sarah from Lu-bec
Susannah from Philly via Scotch Plains
Bonnie from GA
Jess from The Shamblers
Erika from Bawlmer
SWISS MISS!
Mary B from Alberquerque (ha!)
Sparkiepop
Hesh
CoKane
Therese
Mistress of Swag Megan
DJ Terre T from WFMU's The Cherry Blossom Clinic, heard every Saturday from 3 p.m. - 6 p.m. and her guests this week will be The High Back Chairs and Circus Lupus!
Megan from Bloomfield
Michelle*
This list is not intended to be exhaustive, and I'm sure I'm leaving out some top-shelf ladies. Feel free to add to the list.
*On Notice after her My Super Sweet 16-y, car-based smoking call last week with her giggly cohort.

I wonder if Trish is still out there...
-
Hesh
Cruel, cruel Omar.
P.S. I must also note that Laurie and I are the two top posters on the board. I am merely the salutatorian, to my shame.

Should we be titled "LFOTs"?
Lady Friends of Tom?
-
no.
-
no.
i was only kidding, sheesh. :P

Applepicker was cool, but long long gone.

Natalie and Dark Overlord too.

How about FOTbots.

Bring on the go-go boots.

I still miss the Apple Picker. DO was cool too. Natalie completed the Teens of Tom Triumvirate (Petey, Sathington, Natalie).

SLoTs? Dirty!

I really want to know how Kate1 and Kate2 turned out after all these years...

Also, let's not forget the handful of ladies who may or may not have had a few cocktails before calling. Most of these ladies call to ask about a song Tom played or to request "some David Bowie" and consequently don't make it on the air. A woman called last night just to let me know that she was listening to WFMU for the first time in a long time. Guys do this, too. Some smart aleck called last night to pass on the message to Tom that "I Love Rock N' Roll" was a cover and that's why it was so cheap to play the jukebox in the song.
What was the name of the woman who tried to psychoanalyze Tom? She had a good run for a couple shows. Was that Trish, Chris L.?
If you like, Omar, I could provide you with a weekly round-up of dumped callers. This way you can have an even fuller picture of what goes on on The Best Show.

Perfect for you! You who brings words to the lexicon.

Tom's Bitches? He's not Snoop Dogg! He doesn't bring topless women on LEASHES as dates to award shows! I object, sir.

FEMFOTS

wow. I meant Tom's beauties.

I'm just teasing. I actually thought you meant "babes."

BRING IT! It could be a fun segment: Dumped Caller of the Week!
-
Since I've been listening there seem to be a handful of ladies that call in each week. Except for maybe the first time I called in (still trying very hard to block that out) but I thought maybe that had to do with Zach's fanbase.
I consider myself a tomkitten. But that's just me...

Maybe I'm confused. Wasn't Trish the one who used to cut Tom's hair or something and had the "shaved ape" husband? Or was she the woman who called during the high school pizza slice argument?

ADRIAN was married to the shaved-ape. I can't get Chubby Checker's voice out of my head asking her to sing the twist with him.

If we gals are to have a gender-specific label, I think it's only fair you boys have one as well. It is far too early for me to attempt to be clever, but perhaps my fellow females will be able to come up with something suitable.

I'm against this - FOTs are FOTs! It's like Punks and Skins - Unite and Win!!

Yeah! What Sarah & TL said.
Oh, and thanks to Omar for including me in such an illustrious lineup.

i agree, friends are friends.
we are not speaking in french, latvian, arabic, or punjabi (among others)!
this is english, a language without noun classes or grammatical genders. there is only one friend. you are either with us or against us! choose your fate: fot or fwd.
none of this LFOT or MFOT.
it's fot or rot.
-
I'm completely with you, TL. (After all, since when is "friend" a gender-specific term?) My post was an attempt to point up the pointlessness (and--sorry-- offensiveness) of this project of proposing feminine forms of "FOT" without coming off as an earnesto feminazi (to use a term I loathe).
(Wow, there's a heavy and inadvertent reliance on alliteration in this post.)
-
(Wow, there's a heavy and inadvertent reliance on alliteration in this post.)
Which is always appreciated!
"FOT or ROT!" I don't like it...
I LOVE IT!!

Does this mean the roller derby team is a no-go? ::)

And Lauren.

This line reads like Pollard lyrics. I'm just saying, even though I know somebody here hates the phrase "I'm just saying".
-
Who hates that? I started saying that after listening to D.J. Terre T, who is listed officially as foremost in the HOT (Harem Of Tom) :-*
---Just Kidding, I don't like Sexism Either! :D

You know, I debated rewriting that because of the echo but then decided I liked it.

I like the FOT Women's Caucus. It sounds so official and businesslike. Or if you prefer, for a paramilitary twist, it could be the FOT Women's Brigade.
