The Mystery of the TimBit Bandit

Well it’s about time that Marc gave us a free and open blog topic. For once I actually have an idea about what I want to write. I’m not usually very creative when it comes to this kind of writing, so usually it takes me a long time to come up with something.

I originally came up with this topic back during one of the first seminars. One of the presenting groups brought in a box of TimBits as prizes. The box made its way around the classroom and finally got to the east side where myself and a few other students were sitting. Upon getting the box in our hands, we notice there is a half eaten TimBit sitting inside the box. Who does this? It was one of those really gross ones so I don’t blame the person for not wanting to eat it, but come on, who puts the remaining half back in the box? When I noticed this, Marc had just been talking about how we would have a couple opportunities to write a blog without any guidance. Upon discovering the half eaten, chewed on TimBit, I knew that I would dedicate one of my blog entries to it.

I even went so far as to snap a picture of it with my camera phone for evidence (see the bottom of this entry). Now you’re probably thinking “That’s kind of weird, who cares enough about a half eaten TimBit enough to not only dedicate a blog entry to it, but to also take a picture of it?” Well it is pretty gross. Just ask Matt. I remember him being faced with a dilemma: The last chocolate glazed TimBit was resting against the half eaten morsel. Should he man up and eat it, despite it rubbing up against a half chewed on TimBit? Or should he pass it up and go without? I’ll let Matt tell you what he eventually chose to do. So there you have it. Either eat the entire TimBit or throw it out, don’t put it back in the box.

PS: If anyone knows who the guilty TimBit biter is, CALL THEM OUT ON IT!!

PSS: Actually don’t... I don’t want to embarrass anyone that bad....
