12th March :) happy bday rocketman

[manjushagep]

what have I done and why did I do it

[vegetacide]

Hope all of you are all doing well... Working from home and having a mini-me constantly demanding my attention has forced me to adult in RL when I want to be in here!!

Thundernerd FOREVER!!!

[gumnut-logic]

You know you are a Thundernerd when...

You back the car out in the morning with a count down from five.

Any plane in the sky can be considered a potential International Rescue vehicle.

The Beatles song ‘Yellow Submarine’ has a whole new meaning.

Red plaid becomes rather attractive in any piece of clothing.

You try to dress your spouse in red plaid.

All green utility vehicles suddenly belong to a Tracy brother.

All satellites in the night sky are Thunderbird Five...really, they are.

Any silver haired man you encounter is compared to Jeff Tracy.

Any silver haired man with an American accent is Jeff Tracy.

Your car accelerates to the sound of the Thunderbirds Launch sequence.

When your workmate mentions she studying engineering, your first thought is that you know an engineer...well, kinda.

When your workmate mentions she is getting a tattoo, your response is ‘Ooh, I was going to give Virgil a tattoo’, then explain that tattoo in detail. Workmate is very patient. This actually happened today.

Any rocket...ANY rocket shape, including some cheap paper cutouts from the two dollar store, are Thunderbird One. Sorry, Alan, Three got trumped.

All red racing cars belong to Alan Tracy.

All yellow vehicles, period, belong to Gordon Tracy.

Anything marine, be it fish, dolphin, squid, ray or crustacea, is related to Gordon Tracy.

All red headed men are John Tracy.

Suddenly motorcycles aren’t the offensive noisemakers you thought they were because in some fic somewhere you wrote Virgil Tracy onto a Harley Davidson, so potentially all motorcyle riders could be Virgil Tracy...except you haven’t managed to find a green Harley Davidson yet.

Any piano music heard is played by Virgil Tracy.

Suddenly there is a lot of piano music in your playlists.

When turning up at work and your workmate tells you he has cycled 140-odd kilometres in the last week, your response is that you wrote over 17,000 words in the last two weeks. You both have yet to decide which, if either, is more amazing.

All Hawaiian shirts, particularly orange or yellow ones with palm trees belong to Gordon Tracy.

Any shirt that isn’t the one John wears, should belong to John Tracy.

All parents with young toddler boys scampering around them get an awww.

Bonus points to parents with five boys with multiple hair colours.

Your car launches from the stoplights with a count down....that never syncs.

You find yourself at stoplights with the Thunderbird Launch sequence playing, but you’re stuck and you can’t go anywhere and it is quite depressing.

All members of the family groan when you manage to get a hold of the television remote control.

You’re considering taking your little model TB2 with you on holiday so you can attempt to get a photo of it sitting on the same beach you actually landed TB2 on in some fic sometime. But you’re worried you might lose it or break it along the way.

You have a toy TB2 sitting next to your computer.

There is a toy TB4 inside the TB2, but it never gets to come out cos you don’t play with TB2 for fear of breaking it.

Children stare at toy TB2 but are under death threat if they touch it, much less play with it.

Bagels are a novelty.

Your spouse who is usually a tank or plane modeller suddenly acquires both Thunderbirds One and Four. Thunderbird Four is currently being completed and there are pictures planned.

FABulous is more fabulous than ever.

You will never find all the Tracy brothers’ names in any movie credits. Highest count is four out of five. Virgil is a name very out of fashion, though apparently Vincent, Victor and Viggo are happily represented...and yes, I have scanned The Lord of The Rings credits, including all the fan club listings and there is no Virgil in there. Gordon is also extremely rare.

Your eyesight is going from staring at The Lord of the Rings credits listing because you’re obviously nuts and completely wasting your time when you could be writing Tracys instead.

You spend a good half an hour typing out all these notes on being a Thundernerd when you could be writing that fic where John did something cos Virgil and Gordon went missing and you’ve finally worked out exactly what that means and plot has happened and there are exciting things afoot, but instead you’re writing this list cos you’re nuts.

-o-o-o-

Nutty

(The name says it all)

I LOVE MY JOB!!!

One of the people who designed the puppets for Thunderbirds is doing a lecture and Q and A session where I work in March!!!!

[gollageek]

Jeff: *Walks into the kitchen after getting back from being "dead".*

Jeff: Hey everyone, what's for dinn*shunk*

Jeff: Looks at the knife lodged next to his head.

Grandma: Scott Carpenter Tracy, that is NOT a throwing knife.

Grandma: *Rummages through purse, pulls out throwing knife*

Grandma: Use this instead.

Scott: Thanks Grandma!

Everyone trying to stop Scott from throwing the second knife: NO!!!

Guys...I need some assistance.  :( I’m working on my day three April Challenge (socialization) and even though the composition looks solid... I HAVE NO IDEA WHERE THEY ARE SITTING IN. *Internal screaming*

I do know they are stuck with no electricity, hence the activity of story time...but where they might be is still in the air. I don’t have a great deal amount of time so I’ll go with what I see after I clean it up and color the boys in.

What do you all think; living room, camping or someone’s bedroom?

[duchessnibenhu-ofpyromania]

I can’t remember if I posted this before, but am doing so anyway because they are just too freaking adorable.
