Nothin' from nothin' leaves nothin'

The LJ Idol prompt this week was "bupkis" which is a Yiddish word for "nothing" -- usually in a negative light, as according to Internet sources I came across, the word evolved from the words for "goat poop." Upon finding this, I remembered that there was a character, in a couple of humorous books that my dad had, who hated goats. These novels are long out of print, but that fact helps in using the character as he's not already familiar to most readers and thus will be okay however I introduce him. The result was this, in which there is much potential discussed but not a whole lot happens -- fits the "nothing" theme in a Seinfeldian way. And there's goats.

Now the polls are up (I'm in Tribe 4) through Monday evening, open to all. I thank you for your consideration. (To which you may reply, "'Twarn't nothin!")
