Mr T in your pocket
One of Jim's best loved eccentricites was his possession and use of the "Mr.T in your pocket" keyring, available from Emanation for $10.When anyone in the office said something that Jim didn't like, he would press one of the six buttons:
- I Pity The Fool- Don't Gimme No Back Talk, Sucka
- Quit Your Jibba Jabba
- Don't Make Me Mad (growl)
- First Name Mister, Middle Name
Period, Last Name T
- Shut Up, Fool Apparently, his work colleagues at Stuart Hodge never tired of this juvenile behaviour!
You too can play along with Mr T by downloading the wav file of "shut up fool" and putting it on your desktop. When anyone around you says anything daft, double-click on the file in memory of Jim (with the volume turned up to the max). This would have really made him smile! D.

Yes - the last time I saw James we were in the Queens Head after work and he suddenly pulled this toy out - pretending that he had got it for his nephew (?) but clearly having no intention to pass it on!
It ended up doing the rounds and was so typical of James, always doing something to create comedy.
I was inspired by the picture of Mr T and have bought one myself! Me and my brother now hide the divice behind our backs press a button and (because we know exactly which buttons say what)lipreads the short text so it looks like we are actually saying it ourselves!
I MISS HIM ALOT, I'M TELLING YOU I DO!
