This thread is going to be stale and unimaginative, don't look.

I once had a northern Vermonter tell me that, "along about maach (no "Rs"), ya gotta go out and buy a bottl' o' wiskey, and sit down, and drink the whole damn thing." It almost looks like half the community started early just with the threat of winter. ...or I might???

...forget that. The thread started way too early for that. Must be something in the air....
 
J.D. Salinger read our posts on this thread one time and because of the clouded and oblique and trancendental meanings hiding the authors true meanings, he rolled over and had a tantrum.

But since nobody was there to see it, it means NOTHING..
I'm sorry I didn't catcher rye comment.
 
I can name that tune in....actually, I can't. I know nothing about music and have no idea what it is. Inquiring minds want to know.
 
still on crutches

Brian --- still on crutches and doing absolutely nothing. Zero. Zilch.

He says he should be healed just about the time ice-racing begins.

Went to vote in the municipal election this evening (Alberta's municipal elections are every 3 years on the third Monday in October). I looked at the ballot for mayor, council and school board. What did I see

NOTHING

Not a single quality candidate in any of the races.

I'm good at nothing .....
and "Nothing" is good!

Hey I just remembered there is a song about Nothing....some blues guy did it,
one line was "27 channels and nothing on...."

RM

(i hope the above info does not consitute a "Something")
 
A whole lot of nothing creating more nothing...

CircinusGalaxyBlackHole.jpg

Ah Ha! A vast quantity of cosic nothing, no doubt being sucked up by a super-dense nothingness leading nowhere.

There is Nothing else quite like it.

Everybody is talking about something, now you've opened and looked at Shroedinger's thread, thusly tipping the results.

Fascinating.

which was perhaps being chased by shroedinger's cat, which could or could not be dead, as long as the box stays closed....you'll know nothing about what state its in....

so its nothing to worry about..

RM
 
a question about nothing

If I had nothing of any value and sold it,



would I have less than nothing left?

RM
 
Even More nothingness...

As I have been reading this thread I realized that several poems i have written in the past few years since getting back into riding in 99 fit this theme perfectly. They were in part inspired by my Mother, who seriously beleived in being silly as appropriate, and would often recite various litty dittys she learned as a child, one of my favorites being (i can only remember parts of it now...)

"ABC the gold fish?
EL M N O gold fish.
S T R they gold fish!"

If you can make thru both poems then you will have the satisfaction of knowing you not only learned nothing, but also spent a great deal of time at it thus acomplishing even more nothing.....

so on that theme of the Alphabet soup sort of poetry I bring you

!Meaning Nothing!

(An ABC Poem, (literally!))

Apricot Astrolabes analyzing astrophysical anomalies
!Meaning nothing!

Barefoot bathers bantering beef-eating barbers
!Meaning nothing!

Crystalline cartographers crafting carefree confections
!Meaning nothing!

Dielectric dandelions defeating draconian dragonflies
!Meaning nothing!

Equestrian epitaphs exercising esoterical epaulets
!Meaning nothing!

Fastidious fermions furiously feeding flexions
!Meaning nothing!

Gargantuan gratitude’s grinding gregarious grain
!Meaning nothing!

Hysterical histories hording horrendous hyperboles
!Meaning nothing!

Insignificant idiosyncrasies idly imbibing insubstantiality
!Meaning nothing!

Jovial jabberwockies juggling juniper jack-o-lanterns
!Meaning nothing!

Kindred kinetochores killing kinetic kaleidoscopes
!Meaning nothing!

Languid libations literally lying longitudinally
!Meaning nothing!

Monotonous monologs meaninglessly meandering mercantiles
!Meaning nothing!

Notorious nimrods nimbly nurturing nutcases
!Meaning nothing!

Oblong Ostriches orthogonally orbiting obo’s
!Meaning nothing!

Porcupine principles punctuating preverbal provinces
!Meaning nothing!

Quantized quarter-mains quintessentially quilting quagmires
!Meaning nothing!

Reactionary rosaries rottenly rotating rationalizations
!Meaning nothing!

Serendipitous serpentines seasonally sectioning semaphores
!Meaning nothing!

Transactional terra-forms torrentially tackling testimonies
!Meaning nothing!

Unequivocal urbanites unquestioningly undermining unicycles
!Meaning nothing!

Vivacious victories valiantly voicing vastitudes
!Meaning nothing!

Whimpering wallabies wishfully washing Wellingtons
!Meaning nothing!

Xenophobic xylophones xylographically x-raying Xeroxes
!Meaning nothing!

Yabbering Yorkers youthfully yielding yodelers
!Meaning nothing!

Zebrine zealots zestfully zeroing zithers
!Meaning nothing!


(By way of a short explanation of the above poem I offer the following notation on its construct, such as it is……)

A bastardized construction, dementedly exculpating formulations grouped harmoniously in judiciously kaleidoscopic leather-bound memoirs. Nefarious operations performed, quincentennially reactionary statements trampling underlying vociferations whence xenophiles yodel zestfully!

Poem Two, that illustrates how one can articulate mouthfulls without actually saying anything...

songs about nothing?

There's a hole in the bottom of the sea!
There's a hole in the bottom of the sea!
There's a hole!
Oh, there's a hole!
There's a hole in the bottom of the sea!
 
And lets not forget..

"There's a hole in the bucket
The bucket, the bucket, the bucket,
There's a hole in the bucket,
Dear Liza, a hole!"

etc etc etc.....
