"The time has come," the Walrus said, "to talk of many things." But I didn't feel like talking. I hadn't felt like talking for a very long time. And so I let the Walrus yammer on, and watched as he and the Carpenter went medieval on those oysters' asses cuz they're FUCKING EXTREME!!! but said not a word, wishing that those seven maids that they ( Read more... )

Yes yes yes a walrus is not nothing this is understood and granted but is nothing a walrus? I mean how extreme a view is that and no I don't mean extreme in your good capitalized way; I mean extreme in the guntoting AK47 way, minding of course that it isn't the AK47 that's doing the toting. Speaking of which (by which i mean capitalization though 'which' should only really ever mean which), what if we expand the discussion to cover not merely the absence of being, the presence of not-being and the absence of not-not being and so forth but you get the picture, but actually (not?) consider Nothing itself? Must one consider the Nothingness inherent in walrushood? or in Walrushood? Who's to say otherwise when not one of us has ever known what it is to be a Walrus, even a walrus, because walruses are a stupid people and don't know anything? And who, may I ask, can a walrus go to if it is ever shot by someone with an AK47? nothing is the same once that happens. Nothing. Nothing!!!

Of course a walrus can be nothing. Anything can be nothing. The reverse is where it gets tricky. Mike's often made the assertion that you're nothing. Or maybe it was "a nothing." And nothing is ever the same when anything happens, which is to say that Nothing is Ever the same. But that brings me to a weird thought. If Nothing is Ever the same, and my job is ever the same, could my job be Nothing? Could I truly be being paid for nothing? I am supremely good at my job and yet there is the potential that this could mean that I was good at Nothing. What if I suddenly start sucking at my job? Fantastic! I suddenly suck at Nothing!!! Haha!! Cower before me, ye bitches, for thy Lord is come! For if I suck at nothing, then I am at least competent at Everything! Which means that I am, at the very least, the very epicenter of mediocrity. Which, when I think about it, isn't really all that surprising. I mean, I did go to a public school..... bitch.
