― ken c (ken c), Wednesday, 1 February 2006 18:29 (twenty years ago)

His last name is definitely Loftus.

PP, I don't know where you're getting "Tommy" from. Are you confusing him with Diehl's friend Tom Turnbull?

― jaymc (jaymc), Wednesday, 1 February 2006 18:34 (twenty years ago)

"totally wayne, dude!! *doodoodododooldoodloelodldodol "

i thought we established that it was "totally wayne, BRO!!"

― AaronK (AaronK), Wednesday, 1 February 2006 18:45 (twenty years ago)

There was a myspace link up there where a friend of Diehl's made mention of The Syrup Kid, Tommy Loftus. Maybe they've got more than one Loftus in their pack. It is Pennsylvania after all.

― Pleasant Plains /// (Pleasant Plains ///), Wednesday, 1 February 2006 18:48 (twenty years ago)

Oh, good work, PP.

The comment is from Tommy Turnbull (who in another post compliments a roast-beef sandwich that Glen made for him, which on the wrapper was scrawled "Tommy T - No Tax"):

The Syrup Kid, glen, was none other than the shadeball Tommy Loftus. Well we should set somethin up this summer where we get some old friends and party it up. Rock on \W/

― jaymc (jaymc), Wednesday, 1 February 2006 18:57 (twenty years ago)

But how do you know this Tommy Loftus is Wayne?

― Tuomas (Tuomas), Wednesday, 1 February 2006 18:59 (twenty years ago)

Because some of the filenames in the Diehl in Iraq photo album identified him as "loftus" -- for example "andy_loftus.jpg." (Andy being the other person in the photo.)

― jaymc (jaymc), Wednesday, 1 February 2006 19:03 (twenty years ago)

There are five Loftuses in Drexel Hill, PA, on whitepages.com, including one Tom and another Thomas Jr.

― jaymc (jaymc), Wednesday, 1 February 2006 19:04 (twenty years ago)

Because he's referred to as "Loftus" in the galleries. The only lead we've got that his first name is Tommy comes from what jaymc just posted.

― Pleasant Plains /// (Pleasant Plains ///), Wednesday, 1 February 2006 19:04 (twenty years ago)

Really, I think he looks like a Kevin.

― Miss Misery xox (MissMiseryTX), Wednesday, 1 February 2006 19:04 (twenty years ago)

Jaymc, I dare you to call Thomas Jr and ask if he or his son has a King of Prussia Hooters shirt.

― Pleasant Plains /// (Pleasant Plains ///), Wednesday, 1 February 2006 19:18 (twenty years ago)

dooo it jaymc!!!!

― POOP BITCH (Mandee), Wednesday, 1 February 2006 19:24 (twenty years ago)

If I had a private office, I would.

― jaymc (jaymc), Wednesday, 1 February 2006 19:26 (twenty years ago)

i'm still intrigued to hear the answer to my buildings question

― ken c (ken c), Wednesday, 1 February 2006 19:56 (twenty years ago)

i cant believe this is still escalating.

― RoxyMuzak© (roxymuzak), Wednesday, 1 February 2006 20:17 (twenty years ago)

Oh, it happily jumped the shark once the other pictures appeared. It just keeps getting renewed now because it's a huge moneymaker for the network.

― Pleasant Plains /// (Pleasant Plains ///), Wednesday, 1 February 2006 20:21 (twenty years ago)

"shadeball"?

― jaymc (jaymc), Wednesday, 1 February 2006 20:23 (twenty years ago)

yeah, wtf?

― kingfish kuribo's shoe (kingfish 2.0), Wednesday, 1 February 2006 20:54 (twenty years ago)

buildings have escalators innit

― ken c (ken c), Wednesday, 1 February 2006 20:55 (twenty years ago)

Like, he's shady + (corn)(horn)(cheese)ball.

― The Milkmaid (of human kindness) (The Milkmaid), Wednesday, 1 February 2006 20:56 (twenty years ago)

I thought shadeball was some kind of reference to the perineum.

those girls are there to smoke a bowl before going to a party or something. they're at that house because the guy taking the picture has pot, maybe even sells it, and he lives in a house where such things don't matter much. the girl on the left is an athlete, but was certainly more of one a few years back; now, since she spent so much time on sports, most of her old - now popular - friends have moved on and she's left to a racier crowd: a crowd that will drink and smoke in not-so-flashy places. 'hooters' is the younger brother of this guy with pot who was more than eager to come in the room because it's rare he can be around such people, but his hopes have sort of sizzled out at this point -- he's not feeling as suave.

sadly, for both the men, the girls will soon be gone with a shaky excuse.

― Peter Densmore (pbnmyj), Wednesday, 1 February 2006 21:24 (twenty years ago)

I really don't think its tommy loftus or tommy anything, based on the fact that Ryan already said he didn't know who the two beer queer was. Also in every picture he appears in everybody else is looking at/acting towards him like it's the first time they've met him. Guessing one of Ryan's friends brought this guy along to the party.

Also, key to Wayne's body language in the first pic is actually clearly: "I want to fire up that SNES so bad but I can't cause it would be weird"
knee grip expresses desire for a controller, not sublimated lust.

― Dan I. (Dan I.), Wednesday, 1 February 2006 21:27 (twenty years ago)

oh, and the picture was taken because the older brother was feeling a bit insecure about his company and their impresions of him and needed to do something to look engaged and purposeful... i hate to think that he might also be inadvertently making a joke of his brother -- something he'll realize after the girls leave and regret.

pete stop writing fiction! This is a scientific investigation and a couple of your postulates have already been counterindicated by the evidence.

― Dan I. (Dan I.), Wednesday, 1 February 2006 21:30 (twenty years ago)

How literally are we taking this statement, though? Maybe it's like if you did something stupid and then I gestured with my thumb toward you and asked the rest of the room, "Who's this clown?"

Loftus is clearly a guy they know but isn't in their tight-knit group of friends.

― jaymc (jaymc), Wednesday, 1 February 2006 21:31 (twenty years ago)

i love the shot of him passed out on the floor.

― AaronK (AaronK), Wednesday, 1 February 2006 21:34 (twenty years ago)

hardly! bring me this evidence! i'm basing this on many years of high school living with people like these and many hours of analytical thought had in situations like these.

― Peter Densmore (pbnmyj), Wednesday, 1 February 2006 21:35 (twenty years ago)

Dude, read the thread.

― jaymc (jaymc), Wednesday, 1 February 2006 21:37 (twenty years ago)

yes, GOD, I wish had made this thread readers-only when I started it

― RoxyMuzak© (roxymuzak), Wednesday, 1 February 2006 21:41 (twenty years ago)

sorry, i got anxious near the beginning. oh stop. oh stop. i'm reading it now.

― Peter Densmore (pbnmyj), Wednesday, 1 February 2006 21:42 (twenty years ago)

okay check it out. The guy in the middle of this picture: http://diehliniraq.com/v-web/gallery/albums/Diehls-Party/whatsandythinking.sized.jpg
is andy loftus. The body language by Andy in this picture: http://diehliniraq.com/v-web/gallery/Diehls-Party/andy_loftus
is the only picture in the entire canon in which anybody's body language says anything positive or intimate about Wayne. Also, Andy's somewhat goonie-looking, like Wayne. I'm guessing Andy's a classic man of two worlds; the geeks and the nihilistic assholes (the latter probably via being on the track team with Ryan or something, doesn't matter). He knows Wayne from, like, his job at Burger King or something and he dragged him along to this party.

― Dan I. (Dan I.), Wednesday, 1 February 2006 21:46 (twenty years ago)

job at burger king?? duude harsh

― Tracer Hand (tracerhand), Wednesday, 1 February 2006 21:48 (twenty years ago)

Can anybody make out the tattoo on Andy's left forearm?

― kingfish kuribo's shoe (kingfish 2.0), Wednesday, 1 February 2006 21:50 (twenty years ago)

The guy in the middle of this picture ... is andy loftus.

No, he's just Andy. We don't know his last name. Loftus is "Wayne's" name.

― jaymc (jaymc), Wednesday, 1 February 2006 21:51 (twenty years ago)

god, these folks probably refer to Wayne as "Loftus," don't they?

"hey loftus, go get us some more beers"

― kingfish kuribo's shoe (kingfish 2.0), Wednesday, 1 February 2006 21:53 (twenty years ago)

They refer to him as Loftus in the filename of the picture, because they've got another Tom there as well.

― Andrew Farrell (afarrell), Wednesday, 1 February 2006 21:56 (twenty years ago)

"hey loftus, you can get us past this stage in mario, right? here, do it, willya?"

xpost could they not also refer to him as such at the party?

― kingfish has gene rayburn's mic (kingfish 2.0), Wednesday, 1 February 2006 21:57 (twenty years ago)

Can anybody make out the tattoo on Andy's left forearm?

I think it says TIGGLES in Olde English script. Andy's Myspace name is "A TIGGLES." His last name, perhaps? Or a nickname?

Another view, with his bros:

More trivia about Andy: HUGE metal fan, esp Pantera. Girlfriend's name is Ashlee.

― jaymc (jaymc), Wednesday, 1 February 2006 21:58 (twenty years ago)

I don't think that Andy's last name is Loftus, as the jpg name to this one suggests otherwise.

― Pleasant Plains /// (Pleasant Plains ///), Wednesday, 1 February 2006 21:59 (twenty years ago)

Hello, I've missed the whole of this thread. Please tell me what's happened.

― Vintage Latin (dog latin), Wednesday, 1 February 2006 21:59 (twenty years ago)

who knew wayne would be the keeper??

― Tracer Hand (tracerhand), Wednesday, 1 February 2006 21:59 (twenty years ago)

wow! hoagies AND steaks!

― kingfish has gene rayburn's mic (kingfish 2.0), Wednesday, 1 February 2006 22:00 (twenty years ago)

you guys are right; wayne is Loftus and Andy's not.

― Dan I. (Dan I.), Wednesday, 1 February 2006 22:09 (twenty years ago)
