Tomorrow is an important date

[pebblerocker]

The second of January is the birthdate of Jeff Tracy, founder of International Rescue. Not just his birthday - 2009 is the year of his birth, according to the timeline I like best. My family are all huge Thunderbirds fans and we're getting together to celebrate by watching a few Thunderbirds episodes on videotape and DVDs of the Supermarionation films, Thunderbirds are Go and Thunderbird 6. I'll wear my International Rescue T-shirt, we'll bring the die-cast models to play with, and I expect we'll be getting into the spirit of things by pressing lots of buttons, walking jerkily and talking into our watches.


I went looking around the internet for pictures of the Tracy patriarch.

He looks lovely in that hat.

Sadly I was unable to find any pictures of Jeff that featured stove knobs in the background, so flashing lights will have to do.

What a weird family you have. While tidying up the books in my room I came across a book version of Thunderbirds are Go. I shall read a bit of it tomorrow, and practise my Brains impersonation, to help you celebrate.
