Knicks · The thread about nothing (page 1)

I don't want to talk about Paul George or tattoos....I actually think we've exhausted all there is to talk about this off season...

Cue that Seinfeld theme...

This is the thread about nothing

It's nice in here. Serenity now!

We need soup! And possibly the airing of other grievances besides PG and tats and Phil and Melo.

I could go for a soup now. I wish there was an Au bon pan near my job. Or a whole foods. They gave some tasty soups there. Vegetarian dream

Here's a dumb idea, go outside. There is an entire world waiting for you. Save the basketball talk for when it is cold outside. Computer screens and basketball forums are for winter.

Well I'm at work funny guy. I'm sure most of us are working while we post. Some might be shitting. Maybe that's why we have so many shitty posters

Back to nothing. I chop wood by hand.

You must be a lot of fun camping.

You ever been camping in Maine? They have this island where you can reserve little camp sites and is pretty nice. They have plumbing for showers and toilets. There's tons of trails. A lot of fun. And if you like lobster, Maine is the place to be.

Outside?!?!? Don't you realize the machines won?!?! It's dangerous out there. If it's not the cyborgs or the human hunting AIs you have to worry about, then it's the homegrown terrorists.

Much as I love Seinfeld, it always bothers me when it's tagged as a being a show about nothing- that may have been how it was pitched, but it clearly had plots every week, especially in the later seasons!

I am. Except the trees don't seem to think so.

I hear Maine is nice. Except for the snow. And camping with plumbing and toilets is not camping.

I don't eat lobster. Do you know what they eat?

Is there enough total currency on the planet to let everyone have 10 million US dollars?

Yep- if everyone just made fake dollar bills and we all agreed to accept them as legit, we'd all be rich. Problem is, then greedy folk would start upping the price of everything because for them $10mil wouldn't be enough.

My father refuses to eat lobster. He calls them Cucarachas del Mar.

I'll eat lobster otoh, but I don't freak out over it like some people. And I'll only eat the "lazy mans lobster" aka when it's prices higher and someone break it all open for you. I hate wrangling with them cracking em open and getting crap all over yourself. Any food dish that requires me to wear a bib, I'm out. Sorry. Call me pretentious but I honestly don't like the reward enough to deal with all that work and mess.

Now you guys ruined Red Lobster for me

agreed-- all arthropods, land or sea, what's the point? disgusting. now oysters on the half shell or a bowl of mussels in a garlicky broth on the other hand.

Nope all seafood is disgusting- I refuse to eat any of it!

You selfish bastards!!! I'm down here in the deep south about 140 miles from Florida and there's NOTHING going on in terms of BB. The High School and College Football seasons are about to get going and down here that is KING. All I have is this forum and the mindless musings and arguments. Sure we are really scraping the bottom now but it's my only life line. Soon enough the Jets will be playing preseason so just give me a few more days of this stuff to tide me over.

They called it the show about nothing because they weren't focusing on anything. Most shows focused on a family or a couple. This one didn't really focus on Seinfeld. They all had equal parts in the show.

The pitch is clever though because when you say what's that show about nothing? Seinfeld...marketing for life

Oysters on the half shell=delicious. As are a nice plate of mussels mariniere (sp?--I think that's the name of the dish you describe, no?). Completely agree there.

If you like clams, find a Portuguese restaurant and order Camarão a Bulhão Pato aka clams in a fresh cilantro, garlic (lots and lots of garlic), and white wine broth. When it's good I literally drink the broth after the clams are eaten. Or, if you have a crusty baguette, rip up into pieces and throw in and then fish out drenched in the broth. Fuggin' delicious.

I liked the episode when George and jerry were pitching the idea for a pilot for a show about nothing and got into an argument as to what extent it would be about nothing, and George ended up storming out claiming he would not compromise his artistic integrity!
