    So, anyone who's anyone remembers how great seaserpent was (specifically the wiki). It brought us such great pages as this:

    That's Jeff's wiki page on the beta site. The repeated picture is a random Florida lawyer who everybody decided looked like Old Jeff.

    Now, tonight my roommate and I were browsing nfl.com as we are wont to do when we come upon this gem in which a Florida man petitions the Jacksonville Jaguars to sign newly-released New York Jets quarterback and perennial media lightning rod Tim Tebow. He cites a bunch of bullshit and stupid reasons but that's not important.

    If you motherfuckers haven't made the connection yet then let me make it for you:

    WHAT THE FUCK ARE THE ODDS OF THIS

    The thing is, I'm nearly positive that guy cleans people's coke money, but I don't think Jeff would do that.

    I don't think.

    Wow, I can't believe that guy would actually pop up again in a somewhat relevant context.

    I've lived in central Florida my whole life. I've seen his commercials since kindergarten but I never realized how much he looks like Jeff.

    @mikkaq: Suddenly imagining BTTF with Jeff as Biff Tannen, and all is well and wonderful in the universe.

    Tangentally related, but nearby where I live, there is a 'Caravela' restaurant right around the corner from where a 'Dr. Gerstmann' works.

    Somewhat relevant to what exactly? I listened to that whole clip...was there a big discussion about sports gambling and time travel recently that I missed?

    Maybe I'm missing something fundamental here, but I'm not even in the slightest bit mind-blown.

    This random guy that "everyone" says looks like Jeff (riiiight) turns up elsewere. OK. What's the biggie?

    Is this one of these newfangled meme things that "da kidz" are so into these days?

    Well it is at least the second time his picture's shown up on the forums, so maybe? Does at least twice count as a meme? I think it should.

    heh. I think the odd detail is that the person lives in Florida, where Jeff's alter ego "Big Jeffrey" supposedly lives with Rosco, King of the Everglades.

    The Jaguars really should take Tebow. The way that dude has been treated in the NFL is a goddamn travesty.

    So is this guy "World-B" version of Jeff Gerstmann who instead of being captivated by the Sega Master System he turned to a life of lawyering and Christian football??

    ps. I don't watch football but was Tebow any good? Or is this all part of the plot World-B Jeff has setup to draw in World-A Jeff to act?

    Being 'late' has nothing to do with it; it's the fact that this guy popped up again on a national stage in a relevant way. I remember the twitch ads and I remember that thread.

    No need to cry, I wasn't chastising you for posting this again. The topic was "I'm about to blow your mind" and you didn't, some dude already did 2 years ago - a fact I was pointing out for those unfamiliar with "Future Jeff".
