That would be NOTHING but me - lol.

Tom so nice that you are becoming a NOTHING regular. We will start paying you a salary of NOTHING please spend it wisely. You might even want to talk to EF Hutton.
I think I finally realized the position you should hold in NOTHINGVILLE, fw. You should be the head of both Human Resources and the Treasury.

Don't worry about too much work because there will be absolutely NOTHING to do. Right up your alley, right? :laugh:

The Kommander will be so impressed that you made such an executive decision. I see NOTHING in your future.

I would like to be Sargent of Thumbs. Sargent of Arms sounds a little too pushy and a bit dangerous. Suppose someone sticks their thumb up, I have no problem telling them "Hey you, put your opposable thumb down. There's nothing going on here for you to thumb us. After all we're reasonable bipeds with opposable thumbs."
[i got that from the godfather]

Holy Smokes! You guys are having a blast on here today. Well, here's something I just got from a friend that is perfect for NOTHING. Ironically, my husband just sat down with me yesterday to explain this deep thinking phenomenon in retired men, so even more apropos for my situation. And here I thought he was just making an excuse for doing NOTHING instead of what I thought he should be doing.......

It's entitled, "RETIRED MEN-----DEEP THINKERS???"

I mowed the lawn today, and after doing so I sat down and had a cold beer.

The day was really quite beautiful, and the drink facilitated some deep thinking.
My wife walked by and asked me what I was doing, and I said, "NOTHING."

The reason I said "NOTHING" instead of saying "just thinking" is because she then would have asked, "About what?"
At that point I would have had to explain that men are deep thinkers about various topics, which would lead to other questions.
Finally I pondered an age old question: Is giving birth more painful than getting kicked in the nuts?
Women always maintain that giving birth is way more painful than a guy getting kicked in the nuts, but how could they know?
Well, after another beer, and some more heavy deductive thinking, I have come up with an answer to that question.
Getting kicked in the nuts is more painful than having a baby, and even though I obviously couldn't really know, here is the reason for my conclusion:
A year or so after giving birth, a woman will often say, "It might be nice to have another child."
But you never hear a guy say, "You know, I think I would like another kick in the nuts."
I rest my case.

Time for another beer. Then maybe a nap.


(Disclaimer: NOTHING capitalized solely for this thread.)
I have to remember this. NOTHING but funny. And true.

Abby10 08-17-2018 09:22 PM
Oh my goodness, I think he's finally here. I'm NOTHING but hanging on by a thread at this point.

1) NOTHING, NOTHING, no NOTHING comes before your wife. Greet her, spend time with her before doing anything else because she missed you even more than NOTHING did. You might just want to stop by briefly to let us know you got home safe.

2) Get a good night's sleep.

3) After your morning coffee and a shout out to NOTHING, take a look outside and see if your massive NOTHING yard needs mowed. Hopefully someone else did that for you. If so, take the day off, rest, spend quality time with your better half.

4) Get a good night's sleep.

5) Check in with work, go in if you have to, and get yourself caught up. Then take a nap. Repeat if necessary.

6) Once all is in order both at home and work, you really have to deal with your massive NOTHING deficit. It is seriously in need of replenishment. If it goes much lower it may crash and burn leaving NOTHING left of NOTHING for us NOTHINGS.

Aside from this, it will be NOTHING but wonderful to welcome you back to the usual NOTHING routine. Whether or not all of us NOTHINGS are in one piece due to your absence is debatable, but we survived nonetheless. :welcome: home, :welcome: back to the fold.

And please take note, I really know how to use my NOTHING - lol
I will print this and pin it above my desk. NOTHING but solid advice.

You guys have done NOTHING but an outstanding job. I’m proud of all of you.

I’ll have to give this some thought. It’ll most likely result in NOTHING though.

Kenswing 08-17-2018 09:41 PM
Holy cow. NOTHING sure was busy today.

You are NOTHING but difficult to manipulate. Btw, my husband kiddingly called me a manipulator today. What is it with you two? You have some kind of connection I don't know about for the sole purpose of ganging up on me?

Yep, we wanted to be sure we got you back into the swing of things in NOTHINGVILLE, so we pushed it full throttle.

Abby10 08-18-2018 04:37 AM
Good morning, everyone. Up and at 'em NOTHING but early since I'm off to work.

fw, tomwed, and Nucky - counting on you guys to keep the boat afloat today.

K - praying for a successful last day and a safe trip home to Mrs K. If you have time and aren't so tired that you fall asleep first, let us know that you made it there safe and sound.

Have NOTHING but a great day! See you all later tonight.

fw102807 08-18-2018 06:22 AM
Welcome back Kommander! NOTHING has had some challenges but we made it and are happy you did too. There is a train show here today we might check out and a car show tonight. Never a dull moment.

Kenswing 08-18-2018 07:18 AM
The word for today is patience. The worst part of a fire is the demob process. That’s when all the paper pushers get involved. With as many people that are leaving today it’s going to be NOTHING but a mess. Have to drive over to the new camp to get it done.

Hopefully my next post will be from home.

No actually the word of the day is always...NOTHING...but patience is a very good word.

Nucky 08-18-2018 08:05 AM
Close but A NOTHING Cigar. The Word! Bird. Yes Bird! Reference The Family Guy. Funny song, Bird, Bird, Bird, Bird is the NOTHING word!

Hopefully nothing goes wrong with the paperwork and it's smooth sailing. I never say smooth sailing but it was suggested Nucky and I keep the thread afloat so I got a little nautical.

I think your title should be Pun Master of NOTHING :a20:

Kenswing 08-18-2018 04:22 PM
I'm home. On the way home a buddy of mine text me with NOTHING but bad news. One of the water trucks went over the side of the road this morning. Unknown to the condition of the driver. But those roads were steep! There were several spots where the truck wouldn't even roll, it would just drop. If you have any extra prayers laying around you might want to say one for that driver and his family.

Kenswing 08-18-2018 04:23 PM
Nucky, I have a new diet for you... Firefighting.. I lost 12 pounds. Mrs. K is gonna be so mad.. lol

Abby10 08-18-2018 04:54 PM
Glad you're NOTHING but home safe, K. On my way home now myself. I'll be in touch later about your posts.

Nucky 08-18-2018 05:05 PM

I think you did NOTHING but a great job only loosing that much in that heat and those conditions.

Damn shame with the truck accident. Let’s hope for the best, I’ve seen people somehow survive the unsurvivable accidents. Our prayers can only help. Fatigue is a terrible thing.

Will check in later, duty calls. :1rotfl:

I really want to lose some weight but not like that. NOTHING but prayers and good wishes for the brother. Hoping all they lost was the truck.

Abby10 08-18-2018 06:02 PM
So sorry to hear about the water truck incident. Praying for NOTHING short of a miracle for the driver. Please keep us informed if you hear any more about it.

So now I need to know why Mrs K is going to be mad. Wasn't that just the post cruise weight that you had put on previously? Lol. Seriously though, I had been wondering about that when you were away. With how hot it was in the beginning, and the physical nature of the job, it's not hard to believe you'd come home having shed a few pounds, but 12 lbs in 2 weeks is a little over the top. So now do we have to tell you to eat, eat, eat besides drink, drink, drink?

Thanks, fw. I don't want to lose weight like that either. I think it has more to do with not getting a mocha every morning.. lol

Mrs. K gets jealous at how fast I lose weight during fire season. She goes to the gym almost everyday to maintain her weight. I go out on a fire and do NOTHING but shed the pounds. lol

And per requirements the kitchen provides about 6,000 calories a day. I simply can't eat the amount of food they serve us.

An example of a lunch.. Two sandwiches with at least a 1/2 inch of meat in them. A protein bar. A twin pack of motzerella cheese. A bag of Doritos. A bag of Cheez-its. A bag of Oreos. Two hardboiled eggs. An apple and a pear. A baggie of celery with peanut butter. And a couple juice boxes.

Then of course everyone carries a case of water and a case of Gatorade in their truck.

Breakfast and dinner are ridiculous. You could feed three normal people with what they put on your plate. I've started to ask for half rations.

Those daily requirements are geared for the guys working on the hand crews who are burning serious calories. I try not to work that hard anymore.. lol

Kenswing 08-18-2018 06:14 PM

My, you are quick with you fingers now - lol

So I was just about to place a bet that you were probably already fast asleep on your couch, and of course with your NOTHING on.

Then I was going to ask you if you've told Mrs K about this nasty new habit that you've developed while you've been away.....:1rotfl:
