Bill was another guy. I still think that Wayne's real name is Tommy Loftus.

hm.

― RoxyMuzak© (roxymuzak), Wednesday, 1 February 2006 18:16 (eighteen years ago) link

I thought we surmised his real name was Bill

I think the Bill thing came from the fact that one of the photos with him not in it was captioned "Where the hell is Bill?" or something, but it's not 100% positive that he's the Bill missing from the pic.

it's totally wayne.

totally wayne, dude!! *doodoodododooldoodloelodldodol

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

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 (eighteen years ago) link

"totally wayne, dude!! *doodoodododooldoodloelodldodol "

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

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

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 (eighteen years ago) link

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 (eighteen years ago) link

But how do you know this Tommy Loftus is Wayne?

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

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 (eighteen years ago) link

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 (eighteen years ago) link

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.

xpost

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

Really, I think he looks like a Kevin.

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

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 (eighteen years ago) link

dooo it jaymc!!!!

If I had a private office, I would.

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

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

i cant believe this is still escalating.

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

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 (eighteen years ago) link

"shadeball"?

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

yeah, wtf?

buildings have escalators innit

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

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

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 (eighteen years ago) link

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 (eighteen years ago) link

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 (eighteen years ago) link

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 (eighteen years ago) link

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

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

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 (eighteen years ago) link

Dude, read the thread.

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

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

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 (eighteen years ago) link

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 (eighteen years ago) link

job at burger king?? duude harsh

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

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

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

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 (eighteen years ago) link

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 (eighteen years ago) link

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 (eighteen years ago) link

"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 (eighteen years ago) link

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 (eighteen years ago) link

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

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