George: “What’d you do this morning?” Russell: “I woke up and came to work.” George: “There’s a thread.” Russell: “What?” George: “That.” Jerry: “Well, maybe something could happen on the way to work–” George: “NO! _Nothing happens._” Russell: “Then why are people reading it?” George: “Because it’s on the SDMB.” ---

You know… you get your wife back, you get your truck back, you get your kids back, you get your dog back… > [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by Little Bird \* > \*\*I’m hungry. Can anyone suggest something yummy to eat? \*\* Certainly nothing like what my brother and I have been known to eat at times! :eek: his gross food combos: once we went to a restaurant, and my bro and his friend put the following things in a cup, and left it on the table for the waitress to see: water, veggie pieces, pepper, coffee, salt, a bay leaf, borscht, milk, sugar, tea, napkin pieces, butter, and ice then there was the time he put spaghetti, mustard and other assorted condiments on a plate and proceeded to eat it at the same party, he decided to combine tomato rice, mint chocolate chip ice cream, and bbq sauce; of course, he ate it… one of his friends wanted me to tell him when it was all done so he could look at him again… poor guy! since my bro doesn’t like salad dressing, guess what he uses instead? Coke! (or any other suitable soft drinks available) salad swimming in Coke… mmmmmmmmm… at a BBQ, he put a weiner, assorted condiments, tapioca bubble tea pearls, and Triscuits in a hot dog – he ate it, of course he had a haggis party once, and decided to make a puree out of it with orange juice and Coke (and also put haggis on toast with marmalade; the marmalade made it taste better) my gross food combos: chocolate chip cookies with salsa; brownies with BBQ sauce; mint chocolate chip ice cream with spicy BBQ sauce and double chocolate chip cookie dough Sorry if that took away your appetite, by the way. But as for something _really_ yummy to eat, try some sushi! That stuff really rocks! :ccol: Or alternatively, some noodles, hot and sour soup, and steak! (no, they might not go well together, but they’re all really yummy! 🙂 ) ---

Damn, see what happens wen I try to be clever? Here I was, thinking I could just click “Reply,” tap the space bar a few times, Submit, and ta-dah! A “nothing” post. But alas, the boards will not allow it, requesting - no, **demanding** that I enter something - anything - in this gray box. And here I am, typing away like a fool, all because I tried to be clever. I guess that’s what I get for staying up past my bedtime. Anyway, I guess this is my nothing post. Carry on. Oh, by the way, someone over there in the dog pile - your shoe is untied. You might want to take care of that before you trip over it. Oh wait - looks like you already did. -Dirty ---
