Another Post About Nothing

A tip of the cap to Seinfeld, whose founder and creator claimed his television show ( see the vast wasteland ) was "a show about nothing."

We're struggling here on the Pond to come up with subject matter for tonite's foray. We do have an idea in the think tank, but it could be arduous and tiring, so we''ll wait for a pregnant pause ( good nite's sleep ) before proceeding.

Plus the Yankees are beating the Bosox at present ( 4-3 in the top of the eighth ) and on TCM, one of my favourite movies ( The Thing ) is playing, circa 1951. The flick was shot in glorious black and white and takes place on the frozen tundra of Antarctica. It stars James Arness before he became Marshal Dillon. And character actor Kenneth Tobey co-stars, who once played one of the villains in "Billy Jack." One tin soldier rides away, eh?

So you can see the dilemma. Watch the ball game ( we all know the curse of the bambino will intercede ) ; watch the Thing ( Mr. Arness plays an alien carrot from outer space and he ain't friendly ) ; or begin work on my new project.

Well, Mariano Rivera, best post season pitcher in history, is strutting himself to the mound; The Thing just thawed out and is wreaking havoc on the ice; and I'm pooped. So here's your obligatory:

Farewell and adieu, v.c.

P.S. And thanks to Rockhead for perusing the pond. Party on dude!

P.S.S. "The Thing" is also known as "The Thing From Another World." Go figger, mon trigger.
