Someone check to see if Tommy Wiseau suddenly has to leave the country.

This is my headcanon and you can't make me change my mind

It's from this xkcd but it's also my headcanon. Tommy is a weird dude that no one really knows his past fully, who has a substantial amount of money he got from selling denim jeans or something apparently.

I don't know why this makes me a little sad. The idea of someone just hijacking a plane, stealing a buttload of money, and parachuting into the sunset and getting away with it tickles my sense of whimsy. With the mystery solved, and it just being some dude, that whimsy is gone. Can't they just write it off and say he won this one?

Personally Id like the FBI to say "Fuck it, you got away with it. Anyone coming forward with verifiable proof they knew D.B or can prove they know who he was will be immune from prosecution"

Has there been any credible motive for Peterson to conduct the hijack/theft? Gambling? Debt?

[-] aelwero@lemmy.world 7 points 8 months ago

Well he never spent any of it, and they found some ditched in the Columbia, so maybe he just wanted to watch the world burn? :)

In the thumbnail sketch he looks like HP Lovecraft.

[-] BarrierWithAshes@kbin.social 3 points 8 months ago

Oh damn maybe it was him. Would explain how he vanished so easily. Got Cthulhu to take him out of reality.

During the final season of Mad Men, fanbase speculation zeroed in on "Don Draper will end up being DB Cooper".

The same fanbase went into speculative overdrive when Don's wife Megan wore the same red star t-shirt made iconic by Sharon Tate, then moved not only to Los Angeles, but to Laurel Canyon itself.

What about when she turned into diamond?
