hill of beans

I wonder too if "the collected works of bob" might not be just the ticket to put a fellar like ran back on track. What with bob's 2097 posts in the last four months alone there must be at least the odd bit of profundity and inspirational wit to be found in there somewhere. Otherwise even such a prodigiuos output such as his doesn't amount to a hill of beans actually. It really is too distressing a notion to even contemplate. Gracious me has it all been for naught?
