Speaking of yellow boxes.....with all the stuff he has, Tom's man cave/train room might also be called an unlisted hobby shop! 

Greg,

I'm checking to see if he has anything new in here! For the past several years he only say, " No babe, that isn't new. I've had that for years."

Babe

Don't worry Pam.  Anything 'new' that you don't recognize is probably something Tom is holding for either Greg or I.  You know, stuff that we don't want Pegi or Eileen to know we bought.

Good grief Bob.....don't give awa all our secrets.

Babe,
 
You might want to keep an eye on the ovalix area.....I heard rumors that it might have been designed to keep the dancing girls (polite way to say strippers?) hidden in between parties! 

Greg,

I told Lil' Tommy if he thinks he can do better than me, go for it and enjoy! But understand this,  don't come back!

Bob and Greg,

Since you brought up this point, I demand to know just what you both have of Lil' Tommy's that he doesn't want me to know about! What new stuff are you holding for him?

Babe

Hey all,

I appreciate my Babe filling in for me but now I've changed the password so she can't find out what ya'll are holding for me.

I'm going to cut back on the Diet Pepsi so I don't have another missing three days.

I'm almost back to normal!

Babe,


I know nothing.....nothing!

Regarding the response about alleged new kits lurking about...........

This is the same line that correlates to the size of a now released fish, after the trip.  And...... when two chess players sit down for a game............... they are required to brag of how long it has been since they last  played.

All modelers have shortness of memory when confronted with the facts regarding a new acquisition.   It's not lying .....

With holding the truth is not a lie.  For example......... you come to a operations session with a fresh haircut from earlier in the day that went really bad............... no one is required to point out to you that you have one ear higher than the other.  With holding the obvious is not a lie.

Similarly............. how long that yellow box has or hasn't been under the bench is not the issue.  The fact that it is there is enough ...........

A closing remark about the haircut........... the crowd I hang with would have a race who could comment on the questionable haircut first ! ! ! !  Some friends ............ huh? ? ? /

Bob,

I agree with your thought process! 

Tom

[bparrish]

Tom.....

Here is another example of with holding information........

A guy walks into a division meet with a REALLY ugly Don Ho Hawaiian floral print shirt. It is not incumbent n us that we point out to him that his mother dresses him funny !

It might be fun ............but...........but it's not required  ! ! ! !

New?
New is relative. My definition of new is probably different than yours.
Look at Facebook. What's "new" on there has been recycled for days.
We have a new grand daughter. But how can that be when we don't have any old grand daughters for comparison?
I remember a certain politician who wanted a definition of what is is.
What's new? If its been there long enough to explain it, is it still new?
New relative to when? The minute you walked through the door? New since the last time you were here? But when was that?
Have I purchased it since you bought your last dress or pair of shoes? If not, it must not be new.
Time for Happy Hour. No Diet Pepsi's for that, trust me. Maybe I'll have some new definitions of new when I get back.

I'm "new" to all this! What I do know is that not having a Diet Pepsi, now for 15 days, isn't "new"; however it is getting "old"!

Bob,

My wife said I needed to stop drinking Diet Pepsi as the Aspartame was affecting my memory. I can't remember if it did or didn't! I do know that after two weeks I feel better.

Aspartame is an artificial, non-saccharide sweetener used as a sugar substitute in some foods and beverages. In the European Union, it is codified as E951. Aspartame is a methyl ester of the aspartic acid/phenylalanine dipeptide.

I'm not sure I remember what it taste like.

Ah, a headache - another side effect of drinking Diet sodas! Don't tell Bober I'm going cold turkey!
