All in good fun, speculate on the stash of your favorite Yourdonites, and I love 'em all. For example: - Andy 's Stash: the $4000 bike, and that's it. What else can he afford? And maybe a rad suit he got from Nikoli's Thrift Shop. - Diane's Stash: 40 cases of Tofu and 10 different editions of Kahil Gibran. - Invar's Stash: Assorted Rocket Launchers and 2 tons of Beef Jerky - Troll Maria's Stash: A small jar of sour pickles. You get the idea. The Yourdonite celebrities are also called upon to confirm or deny. Have fun!

Puddentane and Diane each have penthouse offices with at least 4 assistants ferreting out information for the rest of us dummies. The dog walker buys two cans of dog food each day, instead of one.

Taz, I'm honored, but in fact I wouldn't even qualify as Diane's lowest assistant. Maybe, as Melville would say, an assistant to the clerk to a sub-sub clerk.

Old Git will stash a year's worth of Sunday New York Times . . . for the word games. Do they have crosswords in Jolly Old?

Chuckle, chuckle! I HATE the NY Times. And the Raleigh News & Observer. Don't mind the Wall Street Journal. And I like to read the Telegraph and Financial Times on the Web. I buy Atlantic Monthly now and again and read what Sweetie brings home. Sweetie likes National Review, The Economist, stuff like that. What I've got stashed is hundreds of books of all kinds, but heavy on good mysteries and (of course) police procedurals. Also have a lot of non-fiction, as does Sweetie. Got something very funny stashed, found it at the local Whole Foods market and thought it hysterically funny. Dehydrated tofu! Will be good for a laugh at some point. Also have hummus mix, refried beans mix, veggie chili mix, things like that. Lots of canned goods. As previously noted, I'm a full-time vegetarian, Sweetie's a part-time one. My stash items bought today were 8 rechargeable D batteries for the tiny TV/radio we have. Coffee, yes, am always buying and stashing coffee beans. And if Sam's or Big Lots carries it, I probably have it.

Oh, sorry, forgot about the crossword. We have crosswords that would give you migraines! Why don't you subscribe to the Telegraph (no problem, short form, never had any spam from them) and look at their crossword?

I think that will get you there.
