Banner thanks to the fabulous ViviLit!

Welcome to the appreciation thread for the coupling of Grace McCallister and Tom Wexler Graham. Tom entered the scene as Grace's new teaching assistant, and what started out as an appreciation for their fast friendship has grown into an obsession, er, admiration for their blossoming romance. These two share a chemistry that cannot be denied, and they are just getting started.

Tom and Grace are about to shake things up in a big way, and have already made some enemies. Enemies that have become ours as well. These people threaten the awesomeness that is T/G and will suffer as a result. Now we're not violent people, but we will throw the following people off a bridge, if they mess with us again:

Tom/Grace Quotes:

Time Out of Life:
Grace: I have been completely banned from the second story of my own house.
Tom: Well, with a dozen 13 year old boys there, it's almost hard to believe he doesn't want his mom around.
--------------
Tom: Don't worry about Bobby. He hasn't completely descended into adolescence. I mean, he's not the McCallister who's steaming up car windows making out with a member of the opposite sex.

Querida Grace:
Grace: I was thinking since this is our first public date that I could pour ketchup down my sweater, and then sit in your lap while you dip French fries in my bra.
Tom: That sounds great.
-----------------
Tom: I wish you wouldn't go.

New thread! And on EasyView Day too.

We'll have to get Chrissy or Michael to edit in the missing 'r'.

[deathofacat]

oops!!!! I did this really early in the morning, without coffee, so I must have missed it. Still, new thread!

So........I believe we were discussing Howard Dean and John Kerry?

[MissCongeniality]

Aw, Cat, great job with the thread.

[jsrocks]

Ah yeah we were saying that Bradley should have John Kerry's pic come after him in the credits. And how I got to see Howard do his famous scream! That scream really did make him famous!

new thread

[deathofacat]

I the scream!!!!!!!! I'm so envious you got to see it!

John Kerry pic for Tom.....very funny. I'm trying to think of anyone else who would fit...........

[MissCongeniality]

I know he's not presidential or anything, but I was thinking Rockafellar maybe, but yeah Tom's not all about the money. I'm thinking a great scholar from our time period would suffice.

[deathofacat]

Hmmmmmm......Roosevelt maybe, but he's already in the credits.......ooh, wait, no presidents.

Scholar, eh? I wonder who would fit with that one.

[smoothaise]

Looking at those pictures ... they look so tired, and run down during the break-up scene.

[jsrocks]

I wish Tom was on this show forever!


Yeah I swear I was rolling!! He was great and really funny and a great dabater! Yeah Howard. :thumbup: I had him sign my K Street DVD cover b/c he had a spot in the first episode (and John was there with him!! ) Very exciting! He laughed when I handed it to him to sign.

Looking at those pictures ... they look so tired, and run down during the break-up scene.

I know. Especially the last one. Makes me want to bawl.


Shelly---Howard and John?!?!?! That's it, I envy you forever!!!!!!

Is BC done w/ J&B? I hope not!

[jsrocks]

I hope not! He was such a great addition to the cast.

I'm praying not. But I don't know.

[smoothaise]

They could keep him on the show ... it's not like he's leaving.
