we've seen people say things like "Alec Technologyconnections" to refer to the host of the youtube channel Technology Connections

@Felthry That's why the heh. If you knew it was just a nice little nod, and if you didn't know it was a very funny coincidence

@Felthry @socks (ec in pic) Tom Baker most notably played the Fourth Doctor, arguably the most popular and well known Doctor in the classic Doctor Who series.

I love the comically long scarf he always wears
