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.

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