Sort of like a recent hockey game that ended 1-0 after three overtimes.
Some of my coworkers thought that must have been a very boring game and that
'nothing happened' until the third OT.

No offense, Jim, but I had to chuckle at your comment about baseball. I
personally think baseball is the second-most boring game in the world to
watch (after only golf) because for so much of the time NOTHING happens.
My friends who are baseball fans tell me that those are actually the
_best_ games -- "pitchers' duel" is the expression they use -- but I
just can't see it. So your 'the hours I would enjoy listening to the
game' of nothingness seems like Zen in its inscrutability. Do you like
fishing too? And it makes no difference whether or not you catch any
fish? Fair play, you are a true philosopher. :-)
cheers,
Henry
