Bountiful unrequested collection of surface-level dust and precipitates. |

It took walking all the way out to a remote weather station and manually taking readings for him to unwind enough to even notice.
That's.. both consistent and kinda sad.

Do I get a quarter cookie for predicting shoe-related shenanigans? On the one hand, I did make two predictions and a different shoe-related situation. On the other, I would like a cookie, cookies are nice.  |

Gathering more data for his spreadsheets.
That cliff is surprisingly devoid of the characterstics of the Court. Wonder where exactly Tony is, and of which material his seemingly sturdy socks consist.

Ah yes, the old "if your feet get wet while out in socks, enough rain fell to create puddles" measuring technique!

I assume he will weigh the socks after taking them off to estimate how much moisture is currently present before washing the collected samples out in distilled water, drying them, and running the samples through a spectrometer. Comparing the delta of socks should give him the weight of the moisture prewash less the weight of the samples.

Does Tony act himself when alone, or does it require an audience of exactly one?

If Donny Donlan can create "armour of the gods" for his friend Brinnie, he can also design "socks of the gods" for his best bud Tony  After all it's just kind of like hipster seven-league boots, if you think about it. |

It took walking all the way out to a remote weather station and manually taking readings for him to unwind enough to even notice. That's.. both consistent and kinda sad. And even then, he didn't notice it as "whoa, I have no shoes on". It looks to be more like, "And additionally I observed that those feet that I glanced at when I moved my notebook are clad only in socks, which appears to be incongruous with the native terrain on which they rest... oh, wait". |

"Man, this spreadsheet is off the heezie fo sheezie. Look at that Conditional Formatting. Hell yeah!"
Sadly, he takes his rows and columns very seriously.

I think a bunch of people called something like this page (including some rightly noting he was going to go study the weather, and mturtle7 even guessed he was going to the seaside), but none of us got it exactly Bonus page: where tony ends up without his shoes. "Anthony why aren't you wearing shoes?" Tony, faced with having to explain why he's freaked out by his own daughter, awkwardly excuses himself again and thus begins the journey of The Shoeless One. As he walks the socks gather samples of dust and precipitation (if any) at street level without disrupting his observation of current weather conditions. I'm having a LOT of fun coming up with possibilities for this (only the stupid ones, that is). 1) Shows up at some low-level Shadow Men hideout nearby, declares he's conducting a surprise inspection. 2) Knocks on James' door, when James answers it just stares at him silently for like 5 solid seconds as it finally occurs to him to wonder why the hell he came here, and then walk all the way back to his house with no explanation. 3) Go to a random class in progress (possibly at Foley, possibly not) and insist to everyone there that he's the new substitute teacher 4) Actually just walks around the house to the back door, hides in a closet for 2 hours, then tries to sneak back out and pretend he's just coming back from an errand 5) Happens to walk in a direction which takes him to the ocean. Walks along the shore until he finds an unattended boat. Breaks in and steal the boat. Sails off into the horizon. Ends up circumnavigating the entire Earth because it would just be too awkward to turn around or go in any other direction than the one he's already going in. I CAN'T STOP PLEASE HELP (in all seriousness, I figure he'd probably gravitate towards a safe place, like Kat's lab or maybe Donny's house? Honestly, either of those would probably be interesting to see, but also very serious which is why I'm coming up with lots of silly options instead)
6) Feeding Cityface or a seagull on the beach. People walk by looking confused. 7) Going to visit Jones. They mostly just stare across a table at each other for an hour or so, and then he leaves. Before he leaves, she hands him a pair of shoes she pulls out of a drawer, and he says, "Thank you." 8) Hangs out with the laser cows. Tries to hang out with the laser cows, but they reject him. He sits on a rock, next to Boxbot. Neither of them say anything. 9) Goes to visit Hyland to report about the weather. He seems alarmed that Tony's not wearing shoes, but none of the staff say anything. Tony leaves and walks home. On the way home he stops to buy new socks. 10) Tony gets a haircut. I'm still sad it wasn't one of our terrifically funny scenarios, mturtle7 |

Currently contemplating if Tom's post counts are a reflection of timeloops, or a CSS trick?

I'm still sad it wasn't one of our terrifically funny scenarios, mturtle7 I know! I was sort of hoping the bonus page would be about someone else, just so we could technically still claim the headcanon. We had some pretty great ones in that list!
Also, while between us I guess we did get most of the elements of what actually happened (going to the seaside, and reporting about the weather), I'm kind of shocked neither of us predicted Tony just not noticing that he was shoeless until late in his journey. Tom outdid us again, in that regard...

Executive dysfunction (as a symptom of ADHD-I) can definitely make me feel like this. |

Psst, friend... a fellow member of the fraternity of "my executive function likes to go out for long three-martini lunches" passed me this nice bit of TED talk. Please forgive them for the clueless use of the word "crazy"; we'll get them up to speed eventually. www.ted.com/talks/darria_long_an_er_doctor_on_triaging_your_crazy_busy_life/transcript |
