Totally get the Tandy thing. Got turned around on a hiking trail last fall and my first thought was "what would Tandy do right now". Probably try to befriend a squirrel or turn pine cones into currency. Spent twenty minutes waving my flashlight at nothing before finding the path again.
Pine cone currency is totally on brand, but Tandy would absolutely start a new civilization with that squirrel, not just befriend it. Classic mix-up though.
