    I misread it as Gerry Adams for a second and was quite elated. The reality was much more tragic

    RIP

    Though Thunderbirds were my favorite, all the Anderson stuff was great when I was a kid and started my interest in model building. I still have Thunderbirds Are Go on my PS3.

    RIP Gerry, thanks for the great memories.

    Sure the puppets were a bit sucky, but the machines rocked... as a kid it was pure goodness.

    It was also a sign of the age, everything was atomic powered.

    hell, they even got our accent right
