The Finch Formerly Known As Gold

21 September 2006

I started out with this, I think

What do you give somebody who has everything?

Why, Nothing, of course.

The sales pitch is certainly encouraging:

This lovingly crafted vial of emptiness is filled to the brim with unfettered nothingness. Free from the burden of possessions, the weight of responsibility, Nothing is as idiotic as it is brilliant.

Indeed even old Macbeth, though mad as a kipper, realised that life, whilst full of sound and fury (and that was before iPods) is inherently daft and ultimately signifies Nothing. And let us not forget, that 'Nothing' is so important that most of our universe — and the contents of a lot of people's heads — appears to be made up of it.

Hard to tell from the packaging, but I don't believe this is actually vacuum-packed.

When you finally get around to buying remote thermometers that will tell you when your brisket has reached temp on the pit for a present, it's time for Nothing.

Can't possibly be Nothing. According to the sign outside the church down the road from me, with G-d, Nothing is impossible.
