Ran into Clemson Tom today

  • I was in Charleston for the Elton John concert (No Homo?) and decided to eat at a Chili's beforehand. Anyway, I get up to go the the bathroom and see ole Clemson Tom at the bar smoking a cigarette and decked out in Clemson gear. I knew it was him right away.. Just so happened I was wearing my state champ shirt, so needless to say I got a pretty mean look from him. Gave him a casual nod/ what's up that was not returned.

    On the way out I noticed he was wearing a shirt that actually had "Clemson Tom" written on the back. Seems a little presumptuous.

    Anyway, Charleston residents beware this guy may be hanging out at your local Chili's/Applebees/TGIFriday's/Waffle House/Little Cricket.

    My only regret is not getting a picture. banghead

    You can not go to an Elton John concert and use the tag "no homo", sorry.

  • He had lunch (@ Dukes BBQ) in Wboro w/ some Clemturd friends of mine. They would drink his bathwater...I just don't get it. They all headed to Chas early afternoon. He's abt 3' tall. I'd say 75% of his total body weight is mouth. I hated to have to be cordial to the SOB when I'd so love to break his face.

    Relax. He spent all day with with the bedazzler and that T shirt was dope. Rhinestones everywhere.

  • I am not familiar with klimpson tom. Is that him on the youtube video? Is he really half drunk and chugging beer in the morning?

    Can anyone give me some more info on this tom fellow? I am very intrigued. Do klimpson fans like this guy?
    I cannot come up with words to describe this asshat! WOW!

  • A buddy of mine ran into him last night and posted this picture on fb. Of course he is a WV fan and had to give him hell. While he said he was actually a nice guy, I still think he is a douche
