The newspaper article is legit. I do expect sometime this week,

Dr Winston O Boogie jr 04-01-2013 08:42 PM

I didn't see anything in the paper today Tommy. I do hope that they are not going to divulge any details about "the incident".

I always say forgive and forget but you know how some people are.

For those who see me regularly please save the addition of the paper so I can mail it to my friends and relatives.

Still waiting on your article, Tommy, unless it appeared on a different page and I missed it.

Tommy:

Did you resign as GM of the NY Yankees? I follow sports closely but that's my guess and I'm sticking to it. :smiley:

Tom Hannon 04-03-2013 03:53 PM

Not sure what happened to the article in Daily Sun. Was told it would be in paper by end of this week or early next week. That was a week ago. If the article isn't in the paper, I will contact the paper and see what happened to it. The paper had a reporter who stayed for almost two hours and she couldn't write fast enough. They also sent a photographer and a guy who took videos. The video (if the article ever makes the paper) will be shown on Comcast Channel 2 at 6pm of the same day. I'm as anxious as everyone else.

AS far as being The Yankees GM. I haven't been hired yet. Dont blame me for the mess they're in. It isn't my fault.

DougB 04-03-2013 03:56 PM

We are waiting as fast as we can.

ajbrown 04-03-2013 04:27 PM

I was wondering....
 
Lets say that Tom has this neighbor, who recently came home one day tired from a trip and had all of these news papers in his yard. Lets say this neighbor seemed to take it well and with a wry smile, said good one "Tommy"...

Now imagine this neighbor does some plotting. His payback is to send over someone pretending to be a reporter to Tom's house ......... <continue on your own>

Oh c'mon it is as possible as any other :a20:

Tom Hannon 04-03-2013 06:20 PM

Good one AJ. But you're not close. I ran into Gracie today at Oakwoods and the mystery is still not known. I think even Gracie thinks I am pulling her leg.

keithwand 04-04-2013 09:45 AM

Tommy and The Who?

I am still looking for it, Tommy. Did you invent a new drink?

Tom Hannon 04-04-2013 10:47 AM

I'm still waiting also. Not sure why the delay. Perhaps the Daily Sun will have a special pull out section for the weekend entitled "Trials and Tribulations of Tommy." The photographer took about fifty pictures and another video technician interviewed and recorded me for over a half hour. Kayla (the reporter) couldn't jot down notes fast enough. I know the TOTV people are anxious about the story in the paper...but so am I. Hopefully the article will make the Friday paper.

villages07 04-04-2013 01:09 PM

Tom...maybe they are waiting for the Saturday MIX Insert. Don't give up hope!

Sounds like a collection of some kind?

Golf tees?
Beer mugs?
Match booklets from where you played in a band?
Golf ball logos?

Tommy, rumor has it that the paper plans to release the article upon the Yankees first win. I guess we'll have to wait a while longer, old friend!

BogeyBoy 04-04-2013 04:17 PM

Tommy,

56 comments and the article hasn't hit the press yet. WOW! I'm sure computer keys will be humming once we see the article.

If it isn't in tomorrows paper I will copy and paste BogeyBoy's post and send to the newspaper to show how URGENT it is to get the presses running. The world is waiting. If that doesn't work I will ask all 88,000 members of TOTV to call the paper and say "Where is Tommy's article and threaten to cancel subscription if it isn't in paper."

On a serious note, the article isn't going to change the world and it isn't that earth shattering but suspense is building because nobody has a clue to what it's about. And if it isn't in paper soon, I might forget what it is about also.

Now we will know The Rest of the Story......Yankees won!

Tom Hannon 04-05-2013 04:31 AM

Not in the paper again. Time to contact paper and tell them to read this thread. By popular demand, they need to go to press with the Tommy story.

delima2000 04-05-2013 05:41 AM

:MOJE_whot:The cats out of the bag. Your story was just on the television. They said it should be in the paper this coming week. I'm not going to tell just in case no one saw it,but I now know.

Are you pulling my leg, Delima . Was it on TV? If your serious let me know becuase I intend to contact the paper this weekend.

delima2000 04-05-2013 05:56 AM

Just sent you a message. Keep watching the TV they rerun the story. It should be on soon

Tom Hannon 04-05-2013 06:10 AM

Okay Delima has verified what the Tommy story is about. Which means it should be in paper soon. Hopefully, Delima will keep the secret and allow the suspense to build. Problem now is, I do not have Comcast and I can't record the video. (My fifteen minutes of fame) If anyone else can record it for me I would appreciate it. Not sure if it will be shown again or if there is a way to record a replay. The video was supposed to be shown the same day the article was in paper. On Channel 2 at 6 o'clock.

delima2000 04-05-2013 06:14 AM

:cryin2:Sorry I can't help you. I don't have a recorder to record it.

I will watch for the article. We have Prism not Comcast so I cannot see the video. Did you write a new song for the developer?

ajbrown 04-05-2013 07:05 AM

I could be wrong but
 
I think some hints may have been disclosed in other musings from Tom on this site....:read:

kathy and al 04-05-2013 07:06 AM

Tom: Call the Daily Sun. They will make you a DVD disc of the presentation for $15.00.

Dr Winston O Boogie jr 04-05-2013 07:23 AM

Just saw the story on the telly, Tom. Very nice article.

I'm also glad to know that the joint forces of the CIA, ASPCA and BPOE won't be showing up at your doorstep again.

CFrance 04-05-2013 07:30 AM

Somebody might know how to record this and post it on you tube. (Unfortunately, not me because I have direct TV.) Then we could all see it.

LyndaS 04-05-2013 08:12 AM

Hi Tom,

I made a copy to DVD if you would like to have it?

Fantastic. Is there any way you can post it on TOTV? Perhaps one of our computer wizs can help post it. If not, where do you live? Ill pick up the video. Thanks again. Did I look like you thought I'd look.

LyndaS 04-05-2013 08:31 AM

I would think the format would have to be changed to either avi or mp3 or 4 to post. I will check what the requirements are. Will send you a pm.

You looked much younger. :)

I am back in Missourah and without access to channel 2 or the happy paper. Can you post it here and/or on Facebook when it comes out. M

LyndaS 04-05-2013 11:57 AM

I hope this works :)

Thanks, LindaS, for enabling us all to see it. Great story, Tom!
