I once had a friend named Rob
Great knifemaker, bit of a slob
He got so famous,
He forgot he knew us
and drove off in his new Mercedes>
ok...i aint no poet...but rob has disappeared off of the face of the planet. I knew this was going to happen, first the mercedes, then the jet, then the wining and dining with those big corporate moguls..finally....he forgot his roots..and turned to the lure of materialism...I really wouldnt care...but he owes me money!!!!!

I could use a little materialism. If I could figure out how to get some of your money Tom, I'd probably go poof too!

Hey, I can't blame Rob for making you cool your heels. He and I talked about it at the Blade Show and agreed that you needed some discipline.

I spoke to Rob last week and he was going on a survival training trek for ten days. Should be back this weekend I imagine.

He's off playing in the hills of Idaho with Ron and Karen Hood and a dozen or so other students...

He'll be back sometime early next week...

Saab.

Saab would've rhymed better. Then your poem would've been more like a limerick. Even if he does drive a Mercedes...

Here's one -

Tom makes some very fine knives
People trust Tom's knives with their lives
But when he tries to write verse
He couldn't be worse
He can't even rhyme with the car that Rob drives!

Tommy, Tommy, oh so sad.
Looks to me like you've been had.
Just as soon as you did the TNT,
The Talonite was not to be.
HEHEHE!

Yea Jerry, just got an e-mail 2 minutes after I posted that was still smoking! Hopefully Tom will settle down now, or I will have to take the Lear Jet down and pick you up and then we will have to go to Hawaii to smooze him! :lol

That's OK Rob. It's easier if I swing by in the Gulfstream and pick you up. It's on the way anyway. You still keep that Condo on Waikiki don't you? I'll call ahead and have Hertz deliver the Bentley to the ramp at the airport. See you soon.
