What Would You Like Next?

I’m going to Washington, D.C. next week with my sister Rose, because I have to appear before the House Subcommittee on What the Hell Were You Thinking. I don’t know who heads up that subcommittee (shame on me), but I’m praying that it’s not Henry Waxman, because he is one weird-looking dude and it will be uncomfortable to spend a significant amount of time in the same room with him. To be fair, though, I’ve never seen him in person and it may that the camera, in addition to making everything look bigger, also makes everyone look less attractive. I haven’t heard that, but it’s possible.


I’m at a crossroads here, and could use your—the readers—input as to what I should explain next. I’m going to do a story summary over the weekend because, frankly, I’m not keeping tract of what’s going on so why should you? I may send a couple of unrelated-to-anything postings while I’m in D.C.—along the lines of What’s the Dumbest Thing You’ve Seen Today. If I can’t think up some good current stuff I could regale you with stories from past D.C. visits, like There Was That Time When a Guy Was Laying on The Floor at the 7-11 and No One Cared, or Remember That Time When Ed Muskie Got Sick in Front of Everyone at Breakfast, or One Time a Guy Offered Me Two Bucks to Do Something Unpleasant to Him (disclaimer: he wasn't a politician or if he was I'm even more worried about our country's future than I thought).


As far as our beloved Being & Nothingness Cam Project goes, I could tell you things that might move this story forward, or elucidate the past, or confuse us more. Among the following do you have any preferences?

  • Continue with the Masomenis Corporation correspondence
  • Continue with the weirdo computer dudes who are working on fixing the SAaLI unit
  • What’s the deal with the cold spots in the office backyard
  • More salacious material on employee relations
  • More with the floor
  • __________________ (insert your request here).


I’m depending on you folks!

  1. Gee, that is kinda interactive isn't it? I mean, it might give the impression that we, the loyal followers, actually have some kind of influence on where this strange, but ultimately amusing journey is going? I mean the influence of nothingness on being is a bit harder to see than vice versa, but still....

  2. An interesting point. There may be one road or there may be many roads, but they may all end up in the same place.

    Nothing can be observed that is not impacted by the observer. I read that on a Bazooka gum cartoon once.
