2 comment or not 2 comment, that is the question. Whether tis nobler in the minds to oh hey yeah Brutus! Suffer the slings and arrows of All Hail Caesar. Alas poor Yorick, ye be itchin' and no cure.
huh? I wrote the other post early in the evening, Zelda. Then I went to bed early. Whatchyou talkin' about? I got in a lot of good snores. I get up early only because I have to go to work. It's not by choice!
True! Therefore, I shall not comment, either, other than to say I shall not comment, which we know is actually a comment, but it's a meaningless comment, and therefore, not really a comment aesthetically but tangibly a comment nonetheless, which leaves me in a paradox, dear God! Oops! Comment! But it was only one comment, so therefore, does not count.
We're better at talking about nothing than most people I know. With the exception of my mother's friends from Maine. My GOD could they go on about NOTHING! We visited a couple of them years ago, and sat there in dead silence for a good 15 minutes (apparently this is also normal for people of my mother's generation, which would be between John's generation and his mother's). Then a woman walked by in the street, and they held up animated conversation for 30 fucking minutes about who she was, where she might be going, when she might be back, where she had gone for the past 6 days (but at different times, so she probably wasn't going to any of those places, was she?), who might be waiting for her when she got to wherever she was going, who she was married to, who she was married to *before* him, whether or not she was from "away" (anyone who wasn't born there was from "away", no matter how long they'd lived there), and if she was from "away" where in the big "away" she'd come from, why she'd moved to the island, and on, and on, and on! I was 16 years old; I wanted to claw my eyes out with my own hands.
But it's made me an expert in talking about nothing.
This sounds familiar, have you mentioned it before?
In my army service, we used to eat lunch together as our only real break for the entire day. It was our 30 minutes to relax, unwind and socialize, so we used to talk a LOT about nonsense. Once somebody pointed out that it's unbelievable that we all had something to say about everything, and how if someone for instance would suggest a random meaningless subject like... the napkin holder on the table, we could start a whole discussion about it. We then continued to have a prolonged 10 minute discussion about napkins.
