Thunderbirds Are Go! was one of my favorite shows as a kid. I have a DVD set of the whole series.

I did once see an interview with Gerry Anderson that mentioned FAB doesn't mean anything. They just thought is sounded good.


Very good!

I have to believe that Thunderbirds Are Go was the inspiration for Team America, too.

Lady Penelope was one of the characters on Thunderbirds Are Go!

3x the monetary value of the DPC virtual ribbon! And my respect for knowing something amazingly trivial. But only if you didn't Google it! ;-)
