I don't want to talk about it

I'm starting this thread about somthing I don't want to talk about, thus; I'm not going to talk about it.

Now, some may say, by not talking about it I am indeed talking about it, but I assure you; I'm not talking about it.

Some of you psycological types may think that by starting a post about not talking about what I'm not talking about is just crying out to talk about what I'm not talking about but it's not. I'm still not talking about it.

So, all this being said about what I don't want to say, only means there is nothing left to say, other than nothing further need be said.

This whole thread may be leaving you with the feeling you know less now than you did before but I don't know, do you?

I wish to remove any further doubt by saying you'll never know for sure what I'm talking about, even if you think you do. The only thing you'll ever be sure of is doubtful uncertainty.

I hope this clears things up.

I will say this, knowing me it would be the absolutle last thing you would ever think so it should be an easy guess and the first thing to come to mind. My money is on Ben and JP....but I don't want to talk about it.
 
But this has already been discussed.

If it's one thing I can't stand, it's being repetitive.

Don't like redundancy, either.
 
If you don't want to talk about it, then I can't comment on it.....but Doc can....
 
There now, doesn't that feel good to talk about it. "Suffice to say, is one of the words the Knights Who Say Ikky Ikky P'tang Zu Boing cannot hear."

It was a link to Steve Goodman's "Talk Backwards".
I finally get a chance to use it - & can't get the link to work.

Hey everybody wherever you are
There's a new way of talking and it's gonna go far;
You take the letters in the words,
Turn 'em all around; you say the last ones first
And you check out the sound
Talk Backwards

I know what you're thinking;
That sounds strange
You've talked forward so long that it's hard to change
But it's just like metric once you get the drift
You twist your tongue and you give your palate a lift.
You take your favorite phrase,
And you read it in the mirror,
Practice that about a half a year,
And then sdrawkcab gnikiat mi em ta kool
You're a regular talking bassackwards fool
Talk backwards

Talking backwards is sweeping the nation
Talking backwards is the new sensation,
You amaze your friends when you start to rap
Don't say pass the butter, say rettub eht ssap.
Rettub eht ssap? Rettub eht ssap
And if you're out with a girl and she's a little bit shy
Don't say I love you; say Uoy evol I.
Uoy evol I and I always will,
Now see if that doesn't take off the chill
Talk Backwards

The other day now I was walking down the street
There's this little girl I thought I'd like to meet.
I said excuse me miss but
Sserd taht teg uoy erehw. thgin ta tuo emoc
Yeht srats ekil era hteet ruoy
And I said am I getting through to you yet
She said you're a gent in the first degree
And I love it when you talk backwards to me
Talk backwards

Never can tell, one of these nights
Those who talk backwards will demand their rights.
They'll rise up angry and get a solution
In the form of an amendment to the constitution,
That guarantees 'em freedom of reverse elocution;
And then every T.V. show that airs
Will have to be captioned for the forward impaired

Talk backwards
Talk backwards
Talk backwards
Talk backwards
 
Thanks for posting those lyrics Rick. I always wondered what he said to that girl.
Steve Goodman is in my top 10 all-time favorites.
