Tommy!

Fresh on leave from his 13 week stint in basic training, Army Specialist Tommy Pritchard visited the Schadenfreude office last night providing us a nice distraction from being distracted. It was nice to see him, he looks good and was full of basic training stories. We filled him with so many pedestrian questions such as what firing an M16 is like and what it's like to throw a grenade (to which he commented "It's hard to believe that much explosive force can come out of something so small in your hand.")

For any of you who have been to a Schadenfreude show particularly in the Heartland run, you may have notcied a very distinctive laugh in the crowd. Sometimes it was that only laugh. That's Tommy. You may have also seen the video "Ed Bus Goes To The Fireside Bowl" and seen the guy in the alley who beats up our friend Pointdexter. That's Tommy. You may have also see the short film "Biegfried & Broy" and saw Dave Cenko's lovely wife Adele get robbed by a man who steals a bike to get away only to be twarted by the crime-fighting prowess of Illusionists Biegfried & Broy. That's Tommy.

You may have also eaten at the Underground on the Columbia Campus and met the manager of the kitchen there. Tommy.

Get to know your Tommy, he may soon be defending your freedom overseas. Yeah, I know, but when it comes to Tommy I don't share my opinions of what we're doing over there.
