about nothing.

just like Seinfield.

as unlikely as it is for anything to come of nothing, somehow it represents life better than something. by the end of this thread about nothing, something will have been accomplished but no one can know what that will be until the end. And even then we will wonder.

I tried using a thimble once. It didn't fit. Apparently they come in one size fits all. That leaves people with large thumbs in a bit of a pickle.

How do you tell someone with an A+ personality that they are merely an A-HOLE + ?

Ohh. I think I just answered my own question.

Carry on.

Thats assuming you use it on your thumb.

koan · Post by **koan** » Mon Dec 11, 2006 5:20 pm

that should have been A+HOLE to make sense to me unless the were an A- who only made it to A+ because they added a hole.

So you were trying to use the thimble as a pickle holder? I just use a fork, keeps them from rolling around on me.

Alright then.

You see?

I'm still confused about those A+ people.

Can I just kick them where it counts?

:sneaky:

there is always this confusion about what counts.

what does really count?

did you know there was a competition between a guy with a calculator and an asian dude with an abacus and the abacus won?

JacksDad · Post by **JacksDad** » Mon Dec 11, 2006 6:24 pm

Oooh.

What happened to the Asian guy?

That must have been really embarrassing.

JacksDad · Post by **JacksDad** » Mon Dec 11, 2006 6:55 pm

You know.

On second thought, I'm probably better off with the caterpillar eating cucumber than an abacus.

I sure do miss my motorsickle.

I believe he was counting caterpillars but a cucumber just ate the last one.

I knew I didn't like the looks of that cucumbkiller.

Probs an A+ type.

koan · Post by **koan** » Mon Dec 11, 2006 7:07 pm

How low do types go?

Can a person be a Z type? In school it goes to F, right? What would a type F person look like?

JacksDad · Post by **JacksDad** » Mon Dec 11, 2006 7:35 pm

And for that matter what does an A look like?

Let's not make judgements.

We'll call my feelings on the cucumber just that.

Feelings. A hunch. Intuition.

Is thread about nothing or Alice in Wonderland?

Pass the hookah, please.

Hey! I can't find me on that list!

You aren't any of them

we are all somewhere in the bottom of that loose sand waiting for someone to dig us out.

The colours you remember were just the mould growing on the content. They sealed well but they still needed emptying occasionally.

i don't think that tupperware ever really got clean. because it smelled.
