A Thread about Nothing

[Capper Al]

Following Jerry Seinfeld lead on "A Show about Nothing", why not "A Thread about Nothing?" Many of these threads (including mine) end up being about nothing even if they were started with good intent. So, let's try it. Here goes:

My sister and her daughter are coming over today. I'm grilling chicken. You never know how the chicken is going to come out. Kathy, my wife, will fix the sides. How is it that every time I cook, I just know that she's doing more work? Can't win.

[PhantomOnTour]

Me?....just sittin' here doing nothing (as is the Sunday custom in these parts).

I will check in later on when I'm still doing nothing
Gotta go, nothing's calling.

[wisconsin]

Let's see.......mowed the lawn and having my 2nd oldest over for his 24th birthday. Gonna watch some baseball this afternoon. No racing for me today.
Isn't this why twitter came to be?

[DJofSD]

Working on one of many Windows applications while my son cleans his golf clubs. As soon as my brother gets here, it's off to the practice range and a round.

[HUSKER55]

Have you tried cooking a whole chicken sitting over a can of beer? Try it! tastes fantastic.

[Tom]

Beer can chicken - mmm mmm mmm!

I'm about to head out on a quest for Porterhouse steaks and corn.
The beer is already on ice.

[Robert Goren]

I went grocery shopping this morning. They forgot to put the hamburger in the sack. I had to go back and get it.

[Greyfox]

I had a little doll,
Stuck it on the wall,
and that's all. :rolleyes:

[Capper Al]

Back from the grocery store. Got some potatoes and wine. Getting ready to grill.

[chickenhead]

Mowed the lawn, heading out for some bird seed for the birdfeeder. And some dinner fixins, my mom is in town, I decided to do grilled chicken, grilled asparagus, and pasta carbonara.

I've been going to Ace hardware more often than home depot. It really is easier to find things, and faster. The cute checkout girl doesn't hurt...the home depot gals are pretty gnarly.

A small store doesn't have some things.
A big store has them, but you can't find them.

[Steve 'StatMan']

Returning tomorrow from a 2-week trip to NH. Went Candleping Bowling 3 times, and hopefully a 4th time tonight. Bowled 22 and 17 games on 2 of those days. Can't say I'm bowlng well, but improved practicing at home with my homemade pins and solftballs. Averaged 87.5 so far, last year was only a 75, so I am getting better. Nothing wrong with my game that another year of practice (or a real league seaons if Chicago had Candlepins) couldn't solve.

[canleakid]

Got a rack of ribs & chicken on a can, and a few spuds in the smoker, will grill some portabella mushrooms and wash all that down with the "house drink of the south" ICE TEA" ;) then sit in front of the to tube and catch up on my recordings of the my fav. tv programs, then :sleeping: :sleeping: Then Monday Monday

[horses4courses]

My morning started with a 6am 14-mile run - slow as molasses, but thats ok.
July 31st, I run the SF marathon - my third in 18 months.

Casual handicapping day, may play a race or two - will watch Queen's Plate.

Beef terriyaki kebabs on the grill for dinner - maybe a margharita too - yumm.

Ah, this is the life......... :)

[ElKabong]

Mowed and edged the yard, raked up Magnolia leaves. Damn Magnolia trees shed all summer.

Watching the Dutch Over (Derek Holland) pitch vs the Mets....Strug-Gull-Ling.

[Ocala Mike]

Son-in-law came over with his chain saw this morning, and he took down a dead tree in one of our pastures. Went to OBS and caught the $88 exacta in Belmont's 7th race. Chinese food for dinner. Thinking about the Amtrak incident involving fatalities in Nevada, and wondering why it's not getting much national news coverage. RIP, conductor and passengers. Truck driver, not so much.

[Tom]

I bought a new James Bond book and three steaks.
Watching Woodbine right now.

[cj's dad]

I had a little doll,
Stuck it on the wall,

[Greyfox]

Did you blow it up first ??

Yes. And threw darts at it.

[Casino]

[canleakid]

The meat just comes off the bones, yep ribs be good ;), the guy next door is cooking ribs also, he likes them wet and sloppy, I go with the dry rub, wet ribs nah, won a contest on an other site (Woodbine got lucky again) Falling Skies come on tonight and the series finale for L & O Criminal Intent adios Goren aka Bobby :cool:

[Capper Al]

Burnt some of the chicken. My grill has some hot spots, and I wasn't watching. Still everything ended up alright.

The Kids are driving the mechs... hence the two legs... thought I'd share that. Lousy show though.

Marmalade, I like marmalade.

[magwell]

The only thing about doing nothing ......you never know when your done....:rolleyes:

[johnhannibalsmith]

Spent from 5am to 9am coordinating too many workers. Then had to deal with the clusterflack that is QH futurity trials. Then had to suffer through a winless day after a winless day yesterday. Left in disgust before the horses in the finale were even unsaddled instead of hanging out in the barn area after the races like usual. Contemplated getting drunk for the first time in fifteen years on the drive home. Got distracted by rapid fire phone calls about the last thing I wanted to think about - business. Turned on the computer. Went to Pace Advantage without checking charts first. Thinking about getting drunk again. Maybe I will overdose on Tylenol instead and ditch the headache. Throwing up sounds good too. I yearn for my eight months of nothing again.

[Tom]

Steak was good, corn was good, getting ready to finish off the cake and sparkling grape juice.

Ice Road Truckers is taping, that comes next.

No plans for tomorrow......another day of nothing.
Maybe eggs for breakfast.

At work, I think I will re-organize the Penski File.

[Steve 'StatMan']

Got back to the house after my last chance at Candlepin Bowling. Bought cheese puffs, love them. In new area, tried Wise's Cheez Doodles, new brand to me - enjoying them.

Need a Seinfeld topic. How about:

What's the deal with these Cheez Doodles? Are they supposed to look like Doodles? The baked ones I had are fairly straight, look more like short l's, barely enough curve to make lousy short j's. Cheetos, on the other hand, have a twisted version. Those look more like Doodles. "What'cha doin' Son?" "I'm Doodling, Dad." "Son, those Doodles look more like Cheese Puffs. You need to work on your doodling skills. Maybe add a couple loops or something." Who are these people, anyway....

[kingfin66]

Oddly enough, I always thought that Tom Arnold was funny.

[ArlJim78]

Didn't do much of anything. went out and picked up a marble rye then went to the movies and saw Prognosis Negative with my friend Bob Sacamano.

[Greyfox]

The other day I watched the movie, The Spirit of St Louis....
or maybe "The Pride of St Louis"- an oldie....
a flick about Charles Lindbergh's flight over the Atlantic.

In the movie, a fly was in the airplane.
As Lindbergh only had so much gas to get to Paris from New York, he had not calculated whether or not a fly, that appeared in the cockpit, would add to the weight of the plane. He wondered if that would add to the weight of the plane and said "Interesting Question."

Over a barbeque tonight, I asked :

Did the fly add to the weight of the plane?

A well respected engineer, thought for a second and said:
"Not as long as it remained flying."
I said: "Well, if you had a balloon with a fly would it be heavier?"
He said: "No....the energy of the fly flying would not effect the weight as long as it was flying and didn't land on the balloon."
To demonstrate his argument, he stood up, hopped up a foot and said:
"What's my weight while I'm hopping?"

I said: "Well if you had a balloon with 20,000 flies inside, are you telling me that they don't effect the weight as long as they are flying?"
He replied: "If they are flying....no."
I don't believe that, or I haven't wrapped my mind around that yet for sure..

At any rate, an interesting Question raised in the Lindbergh Spirit of St Louis movie.

Certainly a good movie though. The Pride of St Louis or something to that effect on Turner. :ThmbUp: :ThmbUp: :ThmbUp: :ThmbUp:

It's called playing chicken, Al. Next time she approaches you about cooking, you just run ....
r-r-right out the door, Al.

[toetoe]

chicken on a can



If you have an appetite after seeing that, you're plucky.

[toetoe]

,,, comes the guy next door ... wet and sloppy ... rub wet ribs ... come on ... finale ... adios ... :cool:



Eeyew !!! Eeyew !!!

[bigmack]

Quiet few games of ping pong this AM as last eve left me a bit green.

Invited to have brunch at Marriott with woman who is GM. It's good to know a hotel GM. :ThmbUp: All good there.

Came back played some equine. Hit a nice Ex @ LoneStar or someplace. Was actually thrilled the price closed the deal on top.

Some guy I knew up in Arrowhead was in town. I drove him around for the sights and smells of SD. En route he told me some odd story about his wife mentioning to him a month or so ago that in their 12 year marriage she had never had an O. :eek: Not knowing what else to say, "That's odd", I said.

Lent some other woman's kids some bikes to cruise the beach. I went with for a few miles.

6th grade teacher I met a while back invited me over. I said I'd grab some filets and shrimp. She's got a lovely home but no grill in back. I stop by Home Depot tell them I know her fairly well but not enough to spring for a full grill. I get a $30 portable propane grill that's perfect.

Grill 'em up to perfection, along with shrimp scampi visit with her 16 year old kid and a couple of her friends. Kick back and watch Unknown with Liam - what's his name. Kid leaves, teach gets frisky. Kid walks back in forgetting something while teach was getting frisky. :blush: Kid leaves.

Movie goes unwatched. Arrive home 12:30AM.

[Grits]

There are some fine husbands and sons here who read like outstanding "grill men." What a wonderful skill. (One, I miss A LOT! The former spouse was excellent at the grill.) With two Webers, one big one that can cook plenty of anything at once, another that's small, a petite version, that uses only propane cylinders, along with a two burner fish cooker, I have "the goods." The covers remain on them most of the time, only the petite size is used these days. Maybe I need to have an evening or Sunday afternoon "do".

Chickie, cooking this meal . . . you're bound to be your mom's favorite child!! Anyone that adds veggies like grilled asparagus or portabellos to the fare . . . is kickin' it.

Mowed the lawn, heading out for some bird seed for the birdfeeder. And some dinner fixins, my mom is in town, I decided to do grilled chicken, grilled asparagus, and pasta carbonara.

Its Monday, before 7 a.m., the entire thread has made me hungry; all I hear outside at the moment are the birds, and the irrigation. Breakfast can wait a bit, for now its just coffee with Zo perched on the ottoman "in her morning spot" watching the world outside. (As seen in the avatar.)

Sure is a nice thread to read, guys. Its more about something than you think. ;)

[HUSKER55]

hey bigmack, those bikes you lent out,...are those the electric ones you were telling us about?

[canleakid]

It's 'bout 80 degrees this morning time to take Sooner for his morning constitutional (yes we scoop) :ThmbUp: then off on my 90 min. run, stop at Mickey D's for my .38 cent cup of senior decaf, stop and play my day pick 3 and pick 4 numbers ( hit 2 pick 3's for $250.00 each in the last 3 weeks, no luck with the pick 4 yet) then back home for my bowl of Total. Got two races at Philly to handicap for a contest, do some work in the back yard, today is salad day so I will go with the Elaine Benes "BIG SALAD" why becasue it is so "BIG" ;)

Great account of couch pong, Mack (I got an arrowhead and a Mt. Baldy-size big bear reading it), but can we please get back on topic ? Jeez. :D



I found The Great Escape video at Salvation Army. The lady charged me two dollars (double album), and I was feeling so good I forwent the "Do you know who I am ?" routine.

Strategy for doing nothing: stop whatever you are doing, then don't do what comes naturally. You'll know when you get there.

So burnt from work Sunday that all I wanted were a drink and a cigarette. I eventually got out for a walk, thank God.

My favorite San Diego sight is the sign warning drivers of families running across the freeway. Also not to be missed are caguama tacos in Tecate. :ThmbUp:

Not that there's anything wrong with that.

The galaxies, billions of them, are finite. The universe is infinite.
Probabilities of multiple universes existing are also reasonable.

My day off. Great timing - my blood pressure is at 149 / 96 - down from 179 / 117 last night. Only one phone call all morning. Thinking about taking a nap after Judge Alex delivers his rendering in an hour or so. Then I suppose I better study for work tomorrow. I miss days and days of nothing.

[Capper Al]

Nah. Just standard beach cruisers.

[Light]

Yes, and nothing comes from anything.


I'm talking "origin". Everything is born into existence. Before it is born,it is "nothing" or non existent.

Furthermore nothingness needs to exist before "anything"."Things" need to displace "nothing" or they can't exist. Nothingness is the "place holder" for "anything".

Nothing I disagree with there. :D

Just as darkness is the "placeholder" for light. "Nothing" precedes "thing"; "darkness" precedes "light"; "ignorance" precedes "knowledge."

yeah.....no twitter for me, either.

[Light]

Without nothingness you couldn't enter the house you live in. You couldn't even walk anywhere. Life could not exist.

When you relax,you do nothing,which rejuvenates yourself.

The number zero (nothing) is probably the most powerful number in mathematics.

A cluttered and confused mind lacks nothingness.

You cannot receive if you are "full".You need to empty yourself and create some nothingness in order to receive.

I could go on but nothingness is not a joke. It is an essential, integral and everyday part of life. People just don't notice it or think it's boring.It is an intelligent form of existence.And that's why everything comes from it.

[Tom]

If there were no nothing, there would only be something, and that would be pretty crowded.

If there were no time, everything would happen all at once.
Then what would we do?

[canleakid]

Need to start my morning routine, but will only do an hour run today, have a date with Carmeron Diaz aka BAD Teacher today,(how come we did not have teachers like that when we went to school :confused: ) free popcorn on senior day :jump: then will do the Asian Buffet mandatory 4 trips to the sushi bar and then to see the dreaded Soup Nazi wannabe for my bowl of Pho ;) yeap it is going to be a long hot day, also need to handicap two races for contest, got all three of my picks in the money yesterday but no winners!!!!

Going to take a growler right now. Thanks, Light. :ThmbUp:

[Light]

I had to look up "growler". I found all these definitions of it and none fit until the last one:

Growler (electrical device), for testing electric motors
Growler (calypsonian), pseudonym of singer Errol Duke
Growler (vehicle), an internally transportable vehicle, or a horse-drawn carriage known as a Clarence (carriage)
EA-18 Growler, a jet fighter
USS Growler, one of four ships
Officer Growler, a character from The Getalong Gang animated TV series.
A house robot in Robot Wars
A character type in David Weber's Honorverse
A size of iceberg
A type of horse-drawn cab
A type of beer bottle
A unit type in the game VOR: The Maelstrom
A Yorkshire artisan pork pie
Slang for a hot dog.
Slang for the act of defecating (as made popular by the TV show MXC).(Most Extreme Elimination Challenge)

Nice play on words.The only growler I knew is having used the electric device for testing armatures in motors.

I know you love to play with words. Tizzy took me to a show in SF last Friday to see "Geezer" with Geoff Hoyle. It's about old people. At one point Hoyle mimicks 2 old people. The woman says "Do you want to have some super sex". And the Geezer says "I'll take the soup" (get it? sounds like soup or sex) Another time Mrs Geezer asks Mr Geezer if he wanted to "come upstairs and have some sex". Mr Geezer replied "I don't know if I can do both"

My vote goes to the coffee I brew at my house every morning.
Why do folks go out for coffee? I set the timer and fill the machine every night and tadaaaaa...hot coffee already made when i wake up.
Always been a home or work drink for me, and it's free at work...or the bank...or some supermarkets.

I have had exactly one cup of Starbucks coffee. IT was the most vile tasting swill I aver spit out. I had it last year half way to Toga. This year, I'm packing an airline bottle of gin.

Home brewed is the best ;) but when I go out its a good place to stop talk and listen to the pulse of the world. Guess when one gets old its a good thing to do :)

[rastajenk]

They don't call it Charbucks for nothin'. :D

Personally, I love it. Was a McD's afficionado in my early coffee days, but after a good 10-year-plus run with Starbux, I can't stand it anymore.

But I would like to have back the some of what I've spent there; I could probably do something much better with it.

[Capper Al]

I plugged McD's into my Garmin (GPS). It took me to Home Depot. I assume there is a McD in Home Depot. Wasn't interested, so I asked the Garmin to find me another. It did. It was a drive thru type. Got my food and went back to my daughter's house. I was looking forward to watching the locals. Maybe another McDs later.

[canleakid]

Walked into MickyD's this morning looked more like the CNN News Room almost every table and booth had a laptop (free wifi ;) ) watching the Casey show :D

Yum Yum donuts this morning. Hopefully, when I go to Hollywood Park today, that will be the last of the donuts for today.

our male cat ran away almost exactly 1 year ago when we moved houses, he freaked out at the new place and disappeared the very first night. He was always neurotic and deathly afraid of other people, but he was a really, really good cat. We spent a couple weeks calling for him around the neighborhood, put up signs, nothing. Had to mentally write him off.

This morning we found him sitting in the neighbors driveway, right next door. He used to weigh 12 lbs, now he weighs 4. He was about the worst looking, sickliest cat you've ever seen, just really sad to see. He'll spend a few days at the vet, but just checked on him and he's already feeling better, I can tell. Hopefully no long term damage.

There is no way in this neighborhood with this many cats around and people feeding them he should look like that. I can only guess he wasn't here the whole time.

I wonder where his travels took him too, I'm sure he's got some stories to tell.

Outrageous. Glad to hear the dude is back.

I lost one for about 2 weeks when I had a joint up in Lake Arrowhead. She lost a pile of weight and was found after an old lady up the street heard her crying in a tree.

[Tom]

Cool, Chick. Glad he is ok.
One of mine has been gone for over a week.
You gave me some hope!

[chickenhead]

yep, cats are pretty amazing. I hope yours turns up soon Tom!

This guy has always been my favorite cat of all-time, his name is Johnny Cash (the man in black). People make fun, but that is a damn cool name if you're a cat.

I'm guessing about 5. Three of them were born under my deck and I took them in. One died a couple years ago, one still here. I just got them into the house last year.

Years back mine would stroll off for adventures and bring me back presents when we lived in a wooded area. They were not exactly the presents anyone
wants at there doorstep.
Chickenhead , so glad your Cat is back and wishing him well!!

We lost our cat of 17 years a couple of months ago. We miss her. I still look for her running around the house.

Off to visit relatives today. Being a tourist in Hollywood tomorrow and more relatives on Sunday.

[toetoe]

Awwww you have a big ... back



How's his front look ? :p

[Grits]

Chickie, I'm glad Johnny Cash is back home; a little skinny, yes, but safe and sound.

You've got only two explanations here.

1. He didn't like the new digs, decided, "I'm gone." After a year, figured "what the hell, reckon I'll go on back home. This life on the street business ain't gettin' it. They'll be glad to see me, they'll take me back."

2. You and Johnny Cash, both resident Californians, along with Johnny being smart as he is--how far are y'all from Folsom prison? Remember Folsom's one of Johnny's favorite venues?

Cats always know who loves 'em, who 'preciates their talent. 'Specially ones uniquely named Johnny Cash. ;)

[Ocala Mike]

chickenhead, that is an amazing tale with a great ending. Cats and their stories never cease to amaze me. The cat pictured in my avatar is a rescued stray who lived out of a dumpster with a bunch of others behind a nursing home on my pharmacy delivery route. He was the only one that would come up to me as a kitten when I would feed the strays there. One night, he jumped into my van, and the rest, as they say, is history. His name is "Dude."

So the sweet thing that serves the free samples at Trader Joe's swatted a fly, and the fly apparently went down her shirt. She said,

I felt that it struck just the right tone, and the proof that it was just racy enough is that I'm only pretty sure I'd be arrested for saying it in California. :rolleyes:

[johnhannibalsmith]

Speaking of getting carded...

I buy cigarettes all the time. I like to smoke. I buy beer all the time. I don't drink, but my "roomates" certainly do and since we are all miserably stuck miles from home in Aurora, CO, it helps keep them sane.

I get carded more than usual here for both. When I moved to Arizona in 2002, I had to get a new driver's license. It expires in 2041. Yes, 2041, thirty years from now.

Every purchase that requires my ID involves a ten minute conversation and a reference to "McLovin".

[salty]

I'm 23, I still get carded when I buy a lighter. Yes, they card for lighters at the local 7-11. I get carded everytime I buy a pack of ciggerettes even if i buy them at the same place the people card me over and over again. When i step into a liqour store the clerk has the hawk eyes on me imediately, stares at me while i browse, then inspects my license like i'm trying to cross into another country. :rolleyes:

Saute' pan with onions and peppers, garlic, bacon, andouille sausage (dat's right...2 kinds of pork)...guess I'm making a western omelette sandwich.
Had a few beaten eggs on the side...when the stuff in the pan is sufficiently cooked you just drop the egg right in there with it. No need to fold it over into some fancy omelette; just cook it all.
Toast a few kaiser rolls and lightly brush with chipotle mayo, spatula (that's a verb) some of that goodness onto your bun, toss a lil cheese on top, gitcha some hash browns...sorry, i suck at hash browns so we buy 'em in the store...

here, take your fargin' sandwich and shut up cuz I gotta study for Saratoga!

Saratoga only carded two dirt routes during the first four days of the meet (the CCA Oaks and Evan Shipman, both at 9f) but had a few moved off the turf on Monday.

Still tinkering with my indoor/outdoor version of Candlepin Bowling, made from drink cups and currently using softballs. Got out in public the last 2 days and had a lot of curious lookers and interest people. Hearing a few 'cools' and 'clevers' and one kid came up to talk to me, and enjoyed playing the game with me, his mother glad I spent some time with him. Got a better name for it - "Cupplepin Bowling", two (a 'couple') large stuffed stong plastic drink cups taped around the mouths. Plenty of work to do but not much time for it, the last 2 days has my courage back up to take a risk. I'm not as broke as before, but will hopefully start small and see what I can do. I'm hoping kids and adults will enjoy it. I've mentioned it before online here - I changed the design now and my working name. Going to change/register and online name after I click Submit. I broke my video camera recently, but someday hopefully I'll get some pictures up before too much longer.
