Hi!

Since I have been really good and everything, can someone give me a Paradigm?!

Thanks!

Awesome idea.  I never thought it would work.

I can do better, though.  See, I've got this red paperclip I'd like to trade for a DT Energy, 15#.  Any takers?

Interesting...  I'll think about this one.

A sticky note that says "Call Glenn Brooke" on it.  A couple of used push pins.  An inkpen with the top chewed on (not necessarily by me).  In a few minutes, I'll have an empty can of Diet Mountain Dew.  A box of microwave popcorn packs that was here when the guy before me moved into this cubicle.  I'd be more than willing to part with all of it.

Hmm, I don't know the shipping on that Diet Mountain Dew can is going to kill me.  With the cost of shipping, I could almost get a NIB Diet Mountain Dew myself.

But seriously, I've been really good and I REALLY want a Paradigm.  I think that means I should get one.  Of course, I don't have the money for said transaction.  This is where the ballreviews community needs to come in!  Help out a poor needy child.  I'm hungry and I need a new Paradigm!

Yeah, but you'd save by bundling the shipping on all that other stuff.

I see the problem.  Just because the balls smell, doesn't mean they're food.  I'm not sure of the wisdom of eating something that smells like "Concentration", but you need to realize that these things aren't actually food, they just smell like food.  It's tough, I know, especially with the Double Agent having a Pot Roast smell and the next ball in the Fire line smelling like pizza.

Hehe...  If I was going to eat a bowling ball based on smell, it would have to be the Thunderstruck Pearl or the XXXTreme.  Those smell delicious.  While I would like to eat a Paradigm, I can't very well get started on it until someone gives me one right?

Let's get to it guys.

On a side note, I think if a my bowling bag smelled like sweaty socks and pizza, that would be pretty nasty.

Sweaty socks?  Now that's just silly.  That's not a good smell.  But how many times have you walked into your mom's house and smelled something delicious on the stove?  It seems like more than half the scents Storm uses are fruits, but those are hardly the only good smells.  When are we gonna see "freshly baked bread" or "turkey and dressing"?  Who doesn't like "new car smell" or "freshly-cut grass"?  It don't take much creativity or inventiveness to make a ball smell like cherries or cinnamon.  But lasagna is new, fresh, creative, different.

I think we'll just have to agree to disagree on this one.  If I left my bowling bag in my car trunk and my whole car smelled like socks and lasagna, I think that would be puketastic.

Anyway, important debate aside, I would like a status report on Operation: Paradigm Relief - Ballreviews.com 2006.

Easy.  Don't leave your dirty, smelly socks in the car.

Now...before we go any further on this....just how good have you been? And how do you define good? For what purpose(s) would you use this "paradigm" you so desire? At what weight would you want this paradigm? And, just how would one give you this paradigm to begin with. Would it really bring you happiness? After all, you haven't actually purchased it yourself, with your own money. Wouldn't this just make you desire more free gifts without actually having to strive and suffer for what you desire? Wouldn't this just lead you down the pathway to....sloth, gluttony, SIN!? Is this what you want!?

Well, I mean I have been good to others and that should mean that I should have karma coming back around to me in the form of a Paradigm.  I would use this Paradigm to do more works of good of course.  Every strike that I get with my bowling ball helps the community.

Hmm...  Good point.  Allow me to address that.  I can't exactly say if I will end up desiring more free gifts or not...  Only time will be able to reveal that.  I am certainly interested to find out.  While I know that this could inevitably lead to sloth and gluttony etc., "sin" is relative to the person interpreting its importance or meaning.  I really think I have all of my bases covered here.

Is that what I want?  Good question.  What I want is a 14lb Paradigm to try out.
