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:

https://groups.google.com/group/rec....93cf8c5ecec9df

https://groups.google.com/group/tria...n&dmode=source

you might also do a google search on these titles, somehow the links I
had no longer work.

Rest in peace Tom and thanks for the laughs

Yes, RIP, Tom. I remember his posts from the Wreck of old.

Thanks for the notice and thanks for the links. Tom will be
remembered with a smile after re-reading the stories.

In fond memory of Tom, and all the smiles he brought to this group, I'm
going to take the
liberty of posting some stories that he shared with me by email in 2004,
some of which have
been previously posted, and some [I believe] have not. Please read all the
way to the end;
the last vignette is a touching example of Tom's true gift at telling a
story.

What follows is all Tom's words, not mine:

This is a collection of essays and postings I've done over a period of
time to newsgroups.
Enjoy.

Very Big Snip

Thanks Doug. I have seen some of those stories. But a bunch of them were
new to me.

The man was a story teller wasn't he? Reminds me of some of the folks I
knew growing up. Everybody likes a good story.

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.
