Christmas will soon be here again. Santa Claus must have been off duty last Christmas.
Here is my wish list which I sent in my letter to Santa last Christmas season:

One Gulfstream V equipped with intercontinental fuel tanks and Spey fan-jet engines.
One 6,000 sq. ft. penthouse on the Kona coast of Hawaii.
One 6.000 sq. ft. penthouse in the Augustus Tower at Caesar's Palace in L.V.
One Ferrari Enzo - red.
One Ferrari Enzo - gun-metal gray.

...only five small items, but what did I get ? NOTHING!

Now, there will be those who claim that I was naughty last year __ NOTHING could be further from the truth.

So, this year in my letter to Santa Claus I am sending the same list, but adding to the list:
One 10,000 sq. ft. winter home in the Palm Islands of Dubai.

I am also including this postscript in the letter:
P.S.
When you are making that list and "checking it twice" you had better check it a "third and a fourth" time.

Also, you are over-weight. I'm leaving you some green tea and Melba toast this year.

. . . it may be that this has been posted already in one of the 72 pages of this thread.....but it's not as if I've had nothing else to do other than dredge my way through all o' them pages.

That said, I feel I have nothing to regret even if this is a duplicate posting . . . :P

Well if you posted it in the "Nothing" category you got exactly what you should expect ....NOTHING. :D :lol: :D :lol:

Speaking of nothing:
I have heard that when Santa Claus drops in on a nudist colony he wears nothing
but a red dog collar, black boots, and his red fur trimmed cap.

Santa always was a weird dude.
You can't make up things like that. I dare you to even try.

Yes, that is my usual get-up. I need the fur cap to keep my cell phone in. But it's not a dog collar, it's a horsewhip. :evil: :D

You know, NOTHING can be any amount. Follow this...

For this example, let x = 1.

So therefore...
x²-x = x²-1

Factorize both sides...
x(x-1) = (x+1)(x-1)

Divide both sides by (x-1)...
x = x+1

Deduct x from both sides...

0 = 1

You can multiply both sides by any number now and get nothing to equal anything.
:P :P :P :P :P :P :P :P

I see nothing, I hear nothing, I speak nothing ... or is that "I see no nothing, I hear no nothing, I speak no nothing"?

As Robin of Sherwood would say, "Nothing's forgotten. Nothing's ever forgotten" ... guess that's why I can't remember nothing about this subject. :eek: :lol:

Track five on a certain album is entitled; `Nothing Was Delivered`. But, was there a shipping charge?

There's always a shipping charge, especially when you're hiding in the Basement with the Band. 8)

It's very aggravating when people get off topic
and post something.

Please stop making something out of nothing.

And to all those this past year
who have stayed on topic
and posted nothing, thank you.

Something always confuses me.
I understand nothing.


But seriously folks,
Happy New Year everyone! :) :) :)

If nothing escaped it must be somewhere...or is it like my get up and go that has got up and gone, and left nothing in its place. I can't find any reason to believe that nothing is nowhere. Could nothing be anywhere ?
Those who prate and posture must surely have a logical answer....meanwhile....beam me up Scotty !

Musical Score destined to sell millions of copies.
The composer chooses to remain anonymous to protect himself from money hungry people who will be after his millions.

This begs the questions:

Is a rest something or nothing?

If you don't mark a rest and a meter,
is there nothing there?

And how can this explain free jazz?

A rest IS something. There are no rests in that music, as it doesn't have a time signature. In fact that music has less than silence. Free jazz is what you get while drinking in a bar, as opposed to expensive jazz, where you have to pay to go to a concert. :eek:

I see that NOTHING is in the key of C.
If I transpose it into the key of D does it then become something?
