"Tom Goes to the Mayor" can be verbed

You know how there are all kinds of words that aren't verbs but are used as verbs? My sister once told me that she was busy "lotioning" when a friend stopped over. I the advertising world it's common to be "concepting."

I like to refer to the phenomenon as "verbing." (Get it? I verbed the word verb. So meta!)

So I'm officially verbing Tom Goes to the Mayor. As in, "You totally got Tom Goes to the Mayored! And you loved it!" Also acceptable is TGTTMed, for the sake of brevity. Why have I verbed a cartoon? Because I have TGTTMed some folks, and I'd like to share that with YOUUUUU!

First came Jim, of course. It was a surprise and he loved it. Then I got a couple more requests.

My sister came next. It took me a while to find this background, I think it's very TGTTM, don't you?

And finally my friend Rachel jumped on board. I'm not sure she was fully aware of the awesomeness of TGTTM, but she was appreciative of the photo treatment, so I did one for here. Nice glasses, Rach!
