ZOUNDS! Is Alton Brown Robert Williams? (Is Robert Williams Alton Brown?)

For years, renowned Food Network chef Alton Brown has had the biography “Thyme Lord” on Twitter. The biography never appeared to serve any meaning past being a clever pun. A pun is a play on words in which one word sounds like another word. Thyme is an herb which adds a certain bitterness to dishes which it garnishes. Words are a collection of letters which make up a general sound used to vocalize something. The biography has gone largely unnoticed for the most part.

Alton Brown, the bespectacled host of Food Network hits Iron Chef, Good Eats, and Cutthroat Kitchen, has captivated audiences for many years with his wacky sense of humor and encyclopedic knowledge of how every single edible ingredient on earth reacts to every single other edible ingredient on the planet. However, many have questioned why he never seems to talk about the NBA. Some have attributed this to cowardice, an unfair critique to a man who holds the fate of many Iron Chefs within his grasp. So why hasn’t he said it?

In June of 2018, the Boston Celtics selected Robert Williams out of Texas A&M. Immediately, many were drawn to his wacky antics, such as when he tweeted that the earth was flat, or the time that he missed a team flight because he overslept. After this, renowned NBA scholar and Riffmaster General of all things cool Hebert O’Riffs deemed him to be the Time Lord, for, as our own Jack Michael puts it, “not existing within the realm of time.”

One can only question how these two arrived with different variations of the same nickname. Coincidence? Nonsense. Fate? Maybe. But, what if they have the same nickname because they are the same person. Think about it. What is your favorite Alton Brown moment? Was Robert Williams present? What is your favorite Robert Williams moment? Was Alton Brown present? A Google search only adds layers to this aching suspicion that millions possess.

Neither of them are seen in this search, but Robin Williams is shown many times. Does this mean that the dearly departed comedian is also in on this? Is he, in fact, a time lord as well — the missing link in a holy trinity of timelihood? Using logic, one can only assume that this is the case. Again, none of these three have ever appeared together in public, and how could they? They are the same person. Another simple Google search reveals that Robert Williams has a long history of taking different forms. Painters, random white guys — the shapeshifting is endless.

Believe what you will, but the facts are right there. Robert Williams, Alton Brown, and Robin Williams are all the same person. Once you let your mind accept this, who knows what other instances of mindblowing. occurrence will able themselves into existence!
