I got an email from a friend of Tom's telling me he just passed away. In the 1990s, Tom wrote some of the funniest stories ever posted on the rec including what was most people's all time favourite.
Here are links to some of his stories:
Rest in peace Tom and thanks for the laughs

Yes, RIP, Tom. I remember his posts from the Wreck of old.
-- The reasonable man adapts himself to the world; the unreasonable one persists in trying to adapt the world to himself. Therefore, all progress depends on the unreasonable man. -- George Bernard Shaw
Thanks for the notice and thanks for the links. Tom will be remembered with a smile after re-reading the stories.
So long, Tom... And thanks for all the fish.
Yep...I think I cried at the first of many very funny stories this guy came up with.
He will be missed.
Tom's posts were what made this list in the early years. It's sad to not see anything even approaching his wit and style today.
Tom Watson was starting off pretty good, but then something happened.
Golf tournaments. ;~)
