2005-01-11 - 8:52 a.m. Is Nothing Something? Something is thought of as a neutral word. I disagree. I don�t like something. I am much happier with nothing. Look at it this way; �Gump there is �something� in your drink� Oh great�something is in my drink. It�s not a good thing. It�s NEVER like, surprise Gump, there�s fifty buck in your coke. Weird?! It is more like �does that look like a finger? Ick.� Thanks something�you bastard. Or if a stranger comes up to you and says, �I�ve got something for you.� While the optimistic might think, �Oh he�s gonna give me a cake, or a code to a government project.� It�s not true. He�s probably going to give you a knuckle sandwich for your annoying voice. Even on the phone, something is not good. You�re landlord calls with �something he needs to talk about�. I have to move out cause of a rat infestation. That�s awesome. Maybe I�ll shave off my nipple to make packing that much easier. Which brings up my point, �nothing� is better than something. �Hey Gump, There�s nothing in your drink.� Thank God. Just want I wanted. Nothing in my drink. Just a goddamn drink. �Hey kid, I�ve got nothing for you.� Again, that�s good because last time I checked I liked my teeth, and frankly if I wanted it, I�d get it myself. �Hiya Gump, Just called to talk about nothing.� That�s fantastic. I�ll shoot the shit, and get on with my life. The only possible exception could be if you are in a hotel room, and the girl you are with goes into the bathroom and says, �I�ve got something for ya!� But it could be a clogged toilet at which time you might have to reconcile that the female species doesn�t actually excrete potpourri, which is my belief now. So even in that case, I�ll take my chances with �nothing� over �something� any day of the week. And please don't take it if you don't want to read ALOT of Economic Theories. | |||||||||||
