OK, this was a hoot!

Alton Brown was on GMA this morning, showing how to make spooky gummy treats.

He was wearing a bow tie and a brown plaid sports jacket--his usual.

He was also wearing a fez. I took one look and said "Eleven! He's a Doctor Who fan!"

When the anchors came over, one asked "What's with the fez?" he did not say that he was Doctor Who. He just grinned, lifted the fez and put it back on and said "Fezes are cool!"

I do love sly sneak geekery!

I'm finding more and more fellow Whovians since the reboot. There is also a LOT of overlap between LOTR fans and the Who-niverse (exp. Stephen Colbert, my fellow Charlestonian!)

We are out there. *spooky laugh

Oh yes! I've never seen such exposure to it in North America before 2005. And especially in the past few years.

Yep. I've loved Doctor Who since the Tom Baker days!

Cool!

I thought that was so funny--I am sure that most people were going "huh?" and the rest of us were giggling up our sleeves.

Eeeeee! I love it! Especially with his normal outfit.... that's just perfect!

Sly, sneaky geekery for the win!

I know. That's what made it so perfect.

Imagine if it had been Alton Brown that Eleven met first that night! Talk about kindred spirits. I can just see Alton trying to figure out the scientific reasons some of those weird flavors appealed to the newly regenerated Doctor!

I don't know who Alton Brown is, but that's a cute story! Sly sneak geekery is cool. :D

LOL! Alton Brown is the host of "Good Eats" on the Food Network, as well as a judge for some of their competitions. He's known for explaining the scientific reasons behind the way that foods cook, as well as for his sports jacket and bow tie! That's what made it sneaky: all he needed to add to his usual get-up was the fez!
