I worry a bit that this thread is ruining it for Tom.   :'(  Maybe it's just me, but if I were him and I were to read all this stuff, I'd feel like I was being put under a microscope a bit. 


Ah, stop it.  Tom loves this.

I like when Tom talks about being in the Panera Bread or some other chain store in order to do Show-related work (writing out the Best Show Awards in his notebook).

Tom almost chokes on his own words because the jokes and chuckles all come bubbling up at once on him.  He's done this a million times, but I remember it recently when he was talking about Bee Movie.  He begins a sentence and then thinks of something else, something better, and blurts that out.  All through winded laughs.  He can't wait to rip it.

I enjoy when August has called recent times and Tom has "tested" him on knowledge ONLY August would know because Tom doesn't believe this voice could really belong to "young August".

I don't think he's done this recently, but I love hearing Tom talk to himself.

"You're BETTER than them."

I also use "ease off the gas pedal" at least once a day.

I know it's only happened twice, but the Coffin Talk voice is priceless.   

i seriously hope that we haven't heard the last of coffin talk.

Maybe that's the 3 minutes of bad radio that he was threatening last week.
I'm warning you with peace and love.

oh god i hope not.

coffin talk is painful when obnoxious people call in trying to be funny with it.  otherwise, i enjoy coffin talk.

"You enjoy the work of mister Robert Zombie, do you?"
I'm afraid that it's only a matter of time before Tom will be referring to "mister Frederick Durst".

MISTER FREDERICK DURST!!!!

I hear that in his voice and it is hilarious.  You win Babyfeet.

I just heard this one and it cracked me up ...

Tom bids adieu to a caller:

"Thank you _____, ... you did it!  Good night" (click)

(1 second pause , then Tom sighs heavily and says ...)

"He didn't do it."
"He didn't sound like a human when I was talking to him ... he sounded like a shape ... what's that shape of that building ... you know, where the Army lives?" -- Bryce, 11/24/2009

That was in response to my call, and the source of your laughter is the source of my pain.

Jon, I laughed hard when you said, "I'm all shaky!"  It was so earnest.  I loved it.
