Now Playing: Major Tom-David Bowie
Topic: That Reminds Me!
OK-I wrote the title of this BLOG, and stopped to turn on XRT radio Chicago before I went on. I swear to you that the song Major Tom was on!! (look at their playlist for April 8-2:30am cdt!!) I couldn't even make this stuff up! (except that I am fully aware that I create my own reality so... did I make it happen, or am I just in tune with WHAT'S HAPPENING?)
Anyway, the subject of tonite's entry is just plain silly. Yesterday's Tommy Tuesday Tease reminded me of a friend of mine from college. We both worked for a popular 24 hour restaurant to put ourselves through school. (okay-I have to say it-it was back in the town of Normal-so we worked for the only Normal Denny's in the world-hahahaha!!!)
She was a theatre major, and she was Juliet in the college's production of -well-(you can put that together.) In the play, the man who played her father, was the man who would eventually become her husband. His name-Thomas Thomas. Now if you've ever seen the Bob Newhart show (the more recent one-not the early 70's one) you will definately remember "Larry, his brother Darryl, and his other brother Darryl." How this ties in? Thomas Thomas had a brother Bob Thomas, and his OTHER brother, Bob Thomas!!!
Why?! You might ask his parents, would you do this to your kids? Well, it happened that Thomas, and one of his brother Bob's mom married the other Bob's dad, whose last name was Thomas. The dad then adopted Thomas and the other Bob and made them Thomas's as well!!! WOW!
(As if it wasn't silly enough-one of the late nite cook's at our Normal store was ALSO named Bob Thomas-No relation!)
