Thad is known around the school both for his lisp and for his fixation on yardsticks. Thad pronounces "s" as "th" and makes sounds that make it seem like he may spit when he talks (though strangely, in mission dialogue, he never lisps). He can frequently be seen carrying a yardstick around, and likes to use it as a weapon when he fights. In an apparently infamous incident that occurred the year before Bully took place, Thad broke a yardstick over Peanut's head and got away with it without being beaten up. He is also confrontational and aggressive by nerd standards. In a few different missions during fights, rather than cower as most of the Nerds do, Thad joins in. Although most of the nerds hate the Bullies and Jocks, Thad's primary grudge is against the Greasers. Thad is also well known for his ability to make weapons, boasting to others about it and sometimes using threats regarding this. According to the bully Troy, Thad once made a grenade out of an eraser.
Has a lisp in casual talk (s→th) and often sounds like he’s about to spit; still snaps syllables in mission dialogue. Talks in threats and boasts, punctuates with short “Heh”/“See?” bursts; uses yardstick metaphors like they’re specs.
