    New Box Feature

    Just a warning. I've made a minor adjustment such that including the phrase "think outside the box" in a post will result in an electric shock. Boy I'm tired of that phrase.

    Note: In Australia, the same will occur with "think outside the square". Or in Maltese: "jahsbu barra l-kaxxa"

    I recall once thinking outside the box, swerved to avoid an accident and nearly fell off the couch.

    The box is the way everyone is taught to think. By definition that means innovation almost always happens by thinking outside the box. When someone says think outside the box they mean don't think the way you were classically trained to think about something. If you don't say think outside the box, when someone tries to read between the lines they will never figure out the implied info. Out of the box thinking is important for an AP. Catchers are trained to think inside the box. Games are designed so inside the box thought can't beat them. By being able to think outside the box concerning all the things casinos do to thwart an AP can be altered, get around or beat countermeasures, counter catcher, or a game they think can't be beaten.

    Would you prefer another term to say the same thing?

    I usually respond, "what box? There's a box?" I don't think like most people.

    When you're born, you come out of the box. You spend much of the rest of your life trying to get back in. Well, males of the species.

    I was passing a couple of girls as I walked from one casino to the other. As I get next to them I hear the one with the giant boobs say, "so I know he knocked it over on purpose just so he could watch me bend over to pick it up". Of course I had to slow my pace for a look at what was so appealing. She notices that I have overheard and was getting in position for a look at what the fuss was about. She sees who it is and immediately hugs me tight. We walk together until our paths part and after a few more long hugs she tells me where I can find her and says come to see her so she can take good care of me. She was a bartender at the restaurant I really liked and she always made my dining experience at the bar in the restaurant extremely enjoyable. No matter what I asked for she somehow made the kitchen prepare it for me. I would order things that hadn't been on the menu for years. Anyone else would say I couldn't order it but not her. Whatever I wanted she made sure I could have. Boy was she a curvy beauty too.
