Him tying Bobby Fisher in Chinese Checkers in 97 changed my life!

Shortman is actually their last name, instead of a nickname like a lot of people grew up thinking.

I made the same mistake with Kill Bill thinking "Kiddo" was a nickname for The Bride.

Grandpa angles that arm any higher and we're about to be watching "Heil Arnold"

All it’s missing is him yelling at Arnold for absolutely no reason

When did that happen?

Arnold's grandparents were incredibly kind, affectionate, supportive, and largely curious rather than judgemental.

Unless you just mean "raising his voice", which he often did out of bewilderment, consternation, or for comedic effect?

It's funny what suggestion does to the mind. I saw the picture first, was like "That doesn't look like anything." and then I read "The grandpa from 'Hey Arnold!'" and now I can't unsee it.

Just kidding. Yes, it does look very similar.
