You asked for it. Part 5 of the thread about nothing. Here is a link to Part 4, just to maintain continuity...

To kick things off, well....I’ve got nothing to say.

Woo hoo!
High school 1976, Intro to Theatre, teacher came in and took role and then left, he did this for the first 3 weeks. The last 6 weeks he assigned a student to take role.
No homework
No discussion
No tests
nothing (remembering proper case)
Easiest A that I ever received.

If I had time, I'd go back and find all 4 previous parts and collate the data...how many total comments, who is in the lead (I'm pretty sure it's alephnull), etc. But then, it would be something.....

That's NOTHING new ;-)

“This above all: to thine own self be true,
And it must follow, as the night the day,
Thou canst not then be false to any man.
Farewell, my blessing season this in thee!”
~Hamlet

For another nothing that is truly something--consider the Perfect Game in baseball. No runs, no hits, no errors, no men on base. 27 up and 27 down. And there have only been 23 of them in the history of the major leagues.

And then there was a famous asterisk perfect game: Harvey Haddix had a perfect game through 13 innings, and lost the perfect game--and the game--in the 14th inning.

achieving perfect nothingness is difficult.

consider the sound of one hand clapping.

All is well, all is well.

Thank you Chaucer (from A Knights Tale)
"In Greece, he spent a year in silence
Just to better understand the sound of a whisper."

The more nothing there is, the greater the wisdom.
But yet again, how can you have more of nothing, strike that from the record bailiff!

BTW -- My Kansas City Royals are out of the Central basement, 3 games above Detroit.
And folks, if they win today they will have for the first time this season won FOUR in a row.

He was one fine pitcher too.
He won two games in the 60 World Series.
I really have to like him as he/they beat the Yankees.

I guess I didn't know of him because I was really nothing then, less than a year old.
No opinions to give, ....yet.

It was Pittsburgh according to Wikipedia.

Career
136-113 record with 1,575 strikeouts, a 3.63 ERA, 99 complete games, 21 shutouts, 21 saves, and 2,235 innings pitched in 453 games (285 as a starter)
I'd give my left knut for the Royals to have a pitcher like him. Maybe we wouldn't be nothing.
BTW Toronto and Miami are just barely in front of MKCR. Just a few games and we will start the climb to the playoffs. ;) ;) ;)

One more bit of baseball trivia:

On September 17 and 18, 1968, the St. Louis Cardinals and San Francisco Giants played two games, and in both games the winning pitcher had a no-hitter. I'm pretty sure that was the only time it's ever happened.

Game 1 had Gaylord Perry against Bob Gibson--and the joke was that the only way to beat Gibson that year was with a no-no. Perry no-hit the Cardinals. In game 2, it was the Cardinals turn to no-hit the Giants, and a guy that was not a well known pitcher had the no-no: Ray Washburn.

I've got nothing to say which is pretty appropriate, I've been fairly busy at work.

But MKCR are 5 games up on Detroit, and bumping Toronto and Miami.

Only 26 games below 500 with only 60 games to go.
It might happen, if we go 43-17 the rest of the season we can end up 500.
Come on that's only .717 ball.
cough, cough, cough

Wrong thread, Mr Bill!

I bet you thought this thread was dead. Alliteration, an underestimated talent, or maybe just rhyming.

But it's still staying alive.
