Nut'n Honey. Let's not bring sobriety into this, it would spoil all the fun.

I'll drink to that.

...in fact I'll drink to anything, or NOTHING.

Alan, you simply can't drink to nothing, but methinks that you can "not drink to something".. which by omission would be the same thing differently.

...as long as I end up with a drink I don't mind which way it goes.

Can b0b possibly close this for drifting too far off subject when the subject is "nothing"?

Alan Brookes · Post by **Alan Brookes** » 4 Jun 2010 5:12 pm

b0b is doing what the subject calls for ...nothing.

Alan, you look nothing like any other Brookes that I know.
As a matter of fact, you don't even look like the Allen Brookes that I know ___ Alan looks nothing like Allen.

Nothing can't be seen... It WOULD be something if you could see 'Nothing'

This could turn out to be like "Dark Matter"
I've managed to turn "Nothing" into something, albeit a lexicographer's wayzgoose..
(Which could be pretty close to nothing nowadays)

Methinks notwithstanding nothing more happening, how could nothing more be anything other than nothing ?

I know a country song entitled "Anything's Better than Nothing" but it wasn't..

And how on earth can "I'm busy doing Nothing, Nothing the whole day through" be considered a meaningful lyric, it's nothing like a deep meaningful lyric, but is anything, or is it nothing to worry about.

And is it possible to worry about nothing when there's nothing tangible to show the presence of nothing..

BTW is there anything wrong with the last two sentences starting with 'And' ? or could it be that there's nothing wrong ?

I collect dictionaries and am also a Dry Fly fisherman, they are very closely connected:-
I'm both an amateur entomologist (Ephemeroptera specialist)
AND an equally amateur etymologist (from Pindar of Cynoscephalae onwards and including the origins of Quenya and Sindarin).

It's OK to begin a sentence with "And" if you place a comma after And before continuing the sentence.
And, that's the truth.

"Nothing Could Be Finer Than To Be In Carolina, In The Morning"
In this song, is the composer saying that being anywhere beats being in Carolina __ and especially in the morning?

Surely you can't be serious...

OK, possibly the composer is intimating that, but just who is Carolina?

Wow, and I thought the madness was mine alone.

I have a magnicent collection of dictionaries in English, French, Dutch, Spanish, German, Swedish, Danish, Welsh, Portuguese, Latin, Esperanto and Russian, but I don't spread it around.

By the way, when I was working in the Borough Treasurer's Office in Sutton Coldfield I was working with a guy who had a girlfriend named Caroline, and he used to think it fun to walk round the office singing "Nothing could be finer than to be in Carolina in the morning..."

Oh, she's nothing like Virginia, for sure.

I remember a SWEET CAROLINE but NOTHING came of it.

basilh · Post by **basilh** » 6 Jun 2010 2:06 am

Sweet Caroline had a friend, a "Stalwart Woman" 'though some thought she was "Store Bought"..
Also a 'Gem' of a song..(Moh's 10 or VPN 8400)
