The rules of NOTHING are easier to follow..
I never took the time to go through it to see how and why it morphed from 3 words only to 3 words per line. Maybe Bare can educate us since we know NOTHING.

It had NOTHING to do with the original intention of the thread.
Posters just had a lot to say so it expanded.

Sure makes life easier. But sometimes I probably act like I know something when I really know NOTHING, hence complicating my life for no good reason.

I remember when it evolved. To make a sentence or express a sentiment in just 3 words is challenging. Contractions count as 1 word. I forget the constraints of a haiku or Sudoku but there is no wiggle room. When someone does hit the nail on the head in 3 words the others in the group are thinking, "That's nicely played."

Thanks for the great explanation, but here's 3 words for ya-

Tomwed, NOTHING violation.

But otherwise and thanks for the contribution.

You are welcome for the great explanation.

I don't understand the rest of the post.

That's nothing new.

1840 posts on the resurrected NOTHING thread. Not too shabby for a bunch of NOTHINGS with NOTHING to express but NOTHINGNESS.

Will the NOTHING resurrection coincide with the liturgical Easter at 2000 posts ? Only NOTHING knows.

We give out NOTHING violations to those who don't use the word NOTHING in their posts. No worries, it all amounts to NOTHING and is all in good fun.

Otherwise, just wanted you to know it's good to see you here in NOTHINGVILLE. Never totally understood the evolution of the 3 word sentence thread so your post, together with Bare's, explains it well.

And your last line covers both, a NOTHING post AND a 3 word sentence.
