The Official Tom Welling Thread

[AgentPat]

You must get some pretty interesting emails...

I can attest to this. Eight years and counting - and some of The. Most. Bizarre. E-mails. You. Can. Imagine. have come by way of my in-box.

*sigh*

(Most are nice though.)

Sounds like you know a lot more than most of the rest of us...

When you manage a fansite for a celebrity, folks often confuse you for BEING that celebrity. Some things that are said in e-mails are re-heeeely out of left field. You're like wha-huh? Say WHAT?

Can be rewarding and frustrating at the same time - especially if you pay for bandwidth. Eh James? LOL

Even the nice ones tend to be a little on the overzealous "muh huh?" side.

I've had so many people telling me that they love me. It's actually pretty nice.

The most outrageous (and perhaps TMI) email I ever got -- and I couldn't make it up if I tried -- was one asking what brand of condom Tom uses. This girl wanted her boyfriend to use them so that she could imagine... you've got good imaginations, I need go no further. Suffice to say, I about smacked my head into the wall.

I dont know what amazes me more; the fact that she'd ask someone that, or the fact that she can tell a certain brand of condoms from it's FEEL

This happened about 18 months ago, and i'm still squicked by it. I just... *facepalms*

Oh man, we could trade stories all day.

Mine usually start out with, "we met when you bummed a cig off me... was wondering when you'd be in town again... we could do [insert something bizarre here] again..." One woman wrote to ask for her watch back because it was her grandmother's. Apparently, she left it on his night table. Boo hoo lady.

I have little sympathy for morons, can ya tell? LOL

LMFAO!!! I think that trumps my hand. You SOOOO can't make that kind of stuff up.

She probably can't, but it's what HE uses donchaknow? That makes all the difference.

Oh man... talk about sinking into the gutter in this thread. Figures James would have something to do with it too. Way to go, James.

 

[jas01724]

How about the twelve year old who wants to wrestle Tom at his school fair - three months ago? Poor kid never did get his wish.

I have little sympathy for morons, can ya tell? LOL

One emailed me repeatedly (six times in an hour) asking for Tom's address, phone number, and email. I ended up telling her to f' off. I felt terrible.

LMFAO!!! I think that trumps my hand. You SOOOO can't make that kind of stuff up.

It's just so random, how do you respond to that? I usually delete emails without reply because there's just NO response for that.

 

[Ardrhielle]

I sense that thwap number eight isn't far away?

Ah for the days when we talked about ice-cream, cheese, and pizza.

 

[Lara]

RLMFAO ......just WOW! She put way too much thought into that. I can't stop laughing thanks!

I can understand why James get said weird emails but why do you?

You run a fan site too?

 

[jas01724]

She probably can't, but it's what HE uses donchaknow? That makes all the difference.

EXACTLY! See, Pat knows her stuff. You could say he doesn't use one at all and this girl would gladly go and get pregnant... I pity her children.

Figures James would have something to do with it too. Way to go, James.

Charming.

Quite. I have a helmet today to protect my concussion.

The unfortunate part of that request is that it probably came less from a fan but from somebody who just wanted to prove they could beat "Superman" in a wrestling match.

What about the clowns who get so carried away, they punch him. Literally. That's gotta SUCK, big time.

One emailed me repeatedly (six times in an hour) asking for Tom's address, phone number, and email. I ended up telling her to f' off. I felt terrible.

I've taken to ignoring all of mine as well. I don't have the time or inclination to respond anymore. And I even have "form" e-mails saved for just about every response. I just don't bother anymore.

It's just so random, how do you respond to that?

See above.

I usually delete emails without reply because there's just NO response for that.

Exactly. Though I might have actually KEPT that e-mail as an example of the truly bizarre.

Jeez, I know. A little respect for the fact that you could give him peritonitis, perhaps?

Same here, but sometimes the perpetually dumb really call for a personalised response. Two words suffice. It's actually quicker than copy and paste.

Though I might have actually KEPT that e-mail as an example of the truly bizarre.

I didn't have to, it's ingrained for life. It gives me tension headaches.

Unfortunately. It's not for Tom Welling though. Mine is unmarried and attracts more older woman, which can be worse than the teenagers. (I can say that 'cause I consider myself "older." LOL)

EXACTLY! See, Pat knows her stuff. You could say he doesn't use one at all and this girl would gladly go and get pregnant... I pity her children.

LOL! Oh, trust me, I know. They want to know what he drinks, what he eats, what side of the bed he sleeps on - you name it. It's more about mimicking the habits and lifestyle to be "closer" to their guy.

Charming.

Hee! I'll give James a mulligan today. That story from CondomLady made me laugh out loud.

Jeez, I know. A little respect for the fact that you could give him peritonitis, perhaps?

Houdini, anybody? *sigh*

Yeah, somethig like that is what killed Houdini.... It can be dangerous.

OK, so why do you get these emails? Are they about one of your clients?

 

[AgentPat]

Hee! Um... You've got my e-mail address, right? Take off the "agentpat" and put a "www." in it's place. Pop it into your browser. There ya go.

No, I don't....

I've never had the side of the bed question. But I have had the habits IN bed question, which I think counts.

Hee! I'll give James a mulligan today.

Thank you. My mushy concussed brain thanks you.

Houdini, anybody? *sigh*

Exactly right. Stoopid people...

And I know what Pat's site is.

 

[AgentPat]

No, I don't....

PM on its way.

 

[AgentPat]

How 'bout the ones that insist on telling YOU what his habits are in bed?

OH wait! [slaps head] Silly me, he's married.
You're lucky! Count your blessings my friend.

 

[The Incredible Hulk]

Pat, isnt your site for fans of Metallo??? oh wait, wrong John C
