Legion World Forums LEGION CLUBHOUSE The Legion of Super-Heroes Long Live the Legion! Legion Letter-Writers Spotlight: THOMAS FATSI

I'd actually decided not to do it, as I didn't want to freak him out, but your idea is sound... and maybe I actually *could* make this a regular thing...? The results would certainly prove interesting...

I say do 'em all at once or don't do 'em at all. And by "all" I mean "all that you can find." Have all the addresses ready for a special event, and then start lickin' stamps!

And use a stamp? Ha, ha, ha!!!

I like this idea. I will pick 4 more letter-writers from random issues and do all 5 at once... I might need help from you guys getting current addresses...

What excuse will you give for contacting them? A Legion Letters Page Reunion?

I'd also mention how you found them, so as to reduce the freakout factor. Something else else like, "Back in blah blah blah you had a letter published in Superboy and the Legion of Super-Heroes # whatever. We put your name in Infospace.com and found out where you are today. In honor of blah blah blah we are now contacting individuals who had letters published and are encouraging them to check out www.legionworld.net for a Legion Letters Page Reunion." Only without the blah blah blahs, of course. And make it seem as though you're representing someone more than yourself, like the Legion of Message Board Posters. That'll make it seem less freaky.

I'd also put something which screams "Legion" on the envelope to really get their attention and make them want to open the letter. It could be as simple as printing a black and white Legion picture on an envelope with your printer. Anything that'll bring back warm fuzzies and drive the dark creepies away!

Excellent ideas and I will follow them!

My obsession with Thomas Fatsi may have subsided, but his legend lives on!

One day he'll find me waiting for him at his doorstep...and he'll have Lash to thank!

Party at Fatsi's pad!

That's probably a rural address.

We can let Tommy pick the next former Legion letter writer who we want to stalk--er, get into contact with!

Hm, I wonder what Thomas Fatsi thinks of the Legion's 50th Anniversary?

Since I punked out of contacting him, we will never know.

It saddens me to think there are some posters here nowadays who don't know who Thomas Fatsi is.

Sadness ABATED.

Recognize and celebrate!

One of the greatest threads in LW history! All Legion Worlders should know who Thomas Fatsi and Grendel are.

(DD and Deirdre get into cheerleader uniforms)

Gimme an F
Gimme an A
Gimme a T
Gimme an S
Gimme an I

What does it spell?

Fatsi, Fatsi,
He's nobody's patsy!

Fatsi, Fatsi,
At least he's not a Nazi!

Fatsi, Fatsi,
Maybe now he's called Betsy!

I missed this thread the first time around!
It's utterly FABOO!!!

Fatsi, Fatsi,
He really is fantastic.

Fatsi, Fatsi,
But he overuses plastics.

Fatsi, Fatsi,
And his letters are bombastic.

F-A-T-S-I, F-A-T-S-I, RAH, RAH, RAH! WHEEEEEEE!

WHAT IF... Thomas Fatsi is a regular poster here at Legion World, but is keeping his true identity a secret??
COME OUT, THOMAS FATSI, COME OUT!!

WHAT IF... Thomas Fatsi somehow discovered the existance of this thread??
Would he join LW just to post and assure us he's still alive and well??
Nahhh, that would never happen!

You tease!!!

Don't spoil it!

Bah! Thomas Fatsi is a myth, like Miss Priss and Almost but Not Quite New Kid!

For the love of God, you people are crazy! FINALLY, one of you got off his ass and found me!

Now, to your queries--I left CT 23 years ago and live in NYC now. And my parents moved out of that house while I was still in college. You wouldn't have found me that way. AND, I hope you wouldn't have even tried. I was back there about 10 years ago and the people who moved into it painted it some HIDEOUS color and screwed up the whole front lawn. I would've hated you thinking that was MY house.

I don't know who that is in Fairfield. I have relatives in the Fairfield/Bridgeport area but this one must be really distant. My hometown was way northeast, closer to Boston.

Also, I am not dead. I am not married. And I am NOT FAT. No one calls me Betsy but I have a very good friend with that name.

NOW, to my letter. I think that was a perfectly reasonable question to ask. I was 14 years old. I knew the Legion didn't exist in 1949. And we didn't have Wikipedia in those days. It was 1978, for God's sake. That's what we did. We wrote letters. And aren't you impressed that I did the math and figured out (correctly) that it was 1949? Clearly, DC thought it was a good question. They printed it.

And no, I know longer read Legion. Should I???

Welcome to Legion World Tom. If you look around, there is all sorts of insanity happening here.
