Where no tyranny is tolerable

Stuff

Okay I can't think of anything to write about,
so I'm just going to write down some stuff.
I'm just going to write some stuff.

How much stuff is there?
Do they sell and buy stuff?
Everybody knows what stuff is.
You can tell; it is so OBVIOUS!
What is the going rate for stuff these days?

Maybe thirty dollars a ton?
Now that would be a ton-o-stuff,
or maybe thirty tons-o-stuff.
Or maybe a can-o-worms or a hill-o-beans.
You know, like eating the whole enchilada.
And handed would really get you tons of stuff!
There are two kinds of stuff.
There is good stuff
and there is bad stuff.
Everybody likes good stuff.
Everybody hates bad stuff.
Bad people don't like good stuff.
Good people don't like bad stuff.
Can I give you some of my good stuff
and I could take some of your bad stuff?
Can I put my stuff down here on Pips?
And if I put my stuff down here on Pips,
Wouldn't I still have the same stuff as before,
even though I put stuff down?
Maybe I can just give you my stuff?
Who invented stuff anyway?

How much junk is there?
Which is heavier;
a ton-o-junk or a ton-o-stuff?
Or a ton-o-bricks?
What's the best place to find junk?
What's the best place to leave junk

maybe in a junkyard?

Can we do anything about junk?
Junk shouldn't be eaten
because eating junk is not food.
I mean junk itself is not food.

Junk is not good for you.
Eating junk will kill you.
Just like eating and drinking
and smoking and breathing junk will kill you.
How many dead people do you know

that didn't eat, drink,
smoke, or
breathe junk before they died?
You might be keeping some good junk
but, I mean, if that junk works for you
then why not just hang on to it.
Because that junk may not work for anybody else.
What is the difference between stuff and junk?

Friendship is for Life, if not Forever.

When is "stuff", not stuff?

When somebody says, "Stuff it", and you don't.
