Breakfast.
My job to make the breakfast this morning. We’ve been away on an overnight
stay in the Lake District. Horror of horrors the fridge is empty. I stare at
the empty interior uncomprehendingly – I’m still half asleep. I think of
Heidegger’s notorious “Das Nichts nichtet” ‘nothingness nothings,’ a gnomic
remark somewhat similar to saying: ‘being beeze.’ Now that doesn’t help me
much however, in fact not at all, specially as I contemplate the empty
refrigerator and ponder upon the problem of what I’m going to do about breakfast.
Oh! there is something in the cupboard - that a start…but *something’s no
good - I looking for eatables for the kids.
My wife shouts shoutingly from the lounging lounge…
*They’re so hungry hungrying, they’ll eat anything eatingly!*
I hesitate hesitatingly. *But we haven’t got *anything,* I reply
replyingly…
*We’ve got something somethinging in the cupboard - it’s an unopened
Kellogg’s Cornflakes’ box with its contents Kellogging and cornflaking inside.
One can hear the internal crepitation of the excited flakes as soon as the
cupboard door is opened.
There’s not much sugar left sugaring in the sugar-bagging sugar-bag
though…*
To risk what Heidegger did was surely a dangerous thing for him do? Such
obvious idiocy risked him being stuck away back in the mental home again..
But obviously the Heidegger took such garbage seriously. To cast something
so ontologically incomprehensible and plain daft in such a assertively
gnomic-present form, that insists that something does happen, or that something is
true, suggests that such a declaration is made emphatically. It is the
manner of most mentally ill people, (who speak, like Aethelred, as if no
supporting evidence were necessary) .
Well I have just peeked in the empty fridge again, and there is no evidence
at all that *nothing is nothinging, anything anythings, or for that matter
that *something is somethinging.*
But…wait…maybe… *emptiness*… *emptinesses* or *emptinessings?*
No, forget it…I’ll revert to my original analysis, that it is just a simple
case of Heidegger Heideggering and causing his brainsickness to
brainsicken, or brainsuck, or the Nazi nutter’s ravings just plain *suck.*
Now why does *sucking* make me think of traitorous traitress traitoring?
