[smilingtearz]

is it important??

[ShoutGrace]

Don't you think so?

[smilingtearz]

nahh.. Why did Elizabeth leave?

[ShoutGrace]

Don't you remember her saying it was because of the smell?

[smilingtearz]

what smell?

[ShoutGrace]

You wouldn't be denying it would you?

[Nightshade]

when did she leave? And did anyone else notice Bong put in an appaerance??

[smilingtearz]

he did? ??

[ShoutGrace]

Why wasn't it more obvious?

[Nightshade]

Didnt he dissapeare before either of you joined??

[ShoutGrace]

Aren't you the one that would know?

[smilingtearz]

what are we talking about??

[Nightshade]

what do you think??

[smilingtearz]

should i start thinking again??

[ShoutGrace]

Won't that get you into trouble?????

[smilingtearz]

you think it will???

[ShoutGrace]

Why should I think otherwise??

[smilingtearz]

don't you think it will get others into trouble??

[ShoutGrace]

How is that any different?

[smilingtearz]

it is :nod:....what's cosmonogy?

[ShoutGrace]

How did that come up?

[smilingtearz]

aren't cosmonogy and cosmology different?

[ShoutGrace]

If others believe so, why should I?

[smilingtearz]

why would you want to disagree with others?

[ShoutGrace]

Why do you urge me to conform?

[smilingtearz]

you think i'm urging you to?

[ShoutGrace]

You think I can't identify what you do to me?

[smilingtearz]

Uhuh!..what am i doing to you?

[ShoutGrace]

Wouldn't you like to hear details?

[ElizabethSewall]

May I hear those details? Feeling curious...

[ShoutGrace]

Why should I distract myself?

[Nightshade]

should I be helpful??

[ShoutGrace]

How could it hurt?

[AimusSage]

How could what hurt?

[ShoutGrace]

Now that wasn't a naughty question was it?

[AimusSage]

Why would you even think that?

[smilingtearz]

don't you always come up with naughty things? :D

[ShoutGrace]

Aren't you the one who recognizes and espouses these naughty things?

[smilingtearz]

should i speak??

[ShoutGrace]

Are you for some reason unable???

[smilingtearz]

don't you think i'm choosing not to?

[ShoutGrace]

Why should I think that?

[Nightshade]

Dontyou think its time for a new topic?
Is that the martians knocking at the door,??
What are they doing here?

[ElizabethSewall]

The Martians? Here? What about the Venusians???

[smilingtearz]

are we being invaded? :alien:

[ShoutGrace]

Do you think so? So Venusians count? I thought they were oh so lovable?

[Nightshade]

what do you think? Aimus you didnt tell them about the bbq did you? Who invited them?
Did you know that they will eat anything and everything?
Maybe we should think about running??

[ShoutGrace]

Why run when we can hide?

[AimusSage]

Why Hide if you can run? Don't Martians have an incredible good nose for humans?

[Nightshade]

You would know wouldnt you? :brow:

[Weeping Willow]

know what? and where are the Martians?

[AimusSage]

Aren't they in a library?

[ShoutGrace]

But don't the books interfere with their, um, radar/nose capabilities?

[Weeping Willow]

The Great library or the British one?

[ShoutGrace]

Is there any difference?

[AimusSage]

Aren't they looking for the genie?

[Weeping Willow]

What does a genie have to do with library??

[AimusSage]

Have you not heard that he is hiding in a book over at the library?

[ShoutGrace]

Since when?

[Weeping Willow]

Why would he hide?

[AimusSage]

What would you do when there are martians around?

[Weeping Willow]

Shouldn't i Invite them for a beer?

[ShoutGrace]

Haven't you heard what happens when Martians drink??

[AimusSage]

And have them eat you?

[ShoutGrace]

Do they enjoy human flesh?

[Weeping Willow]

What kind of Martians did you meet?????

Btw.. mine were very nice...

[AimusSage]

@ Shoutgrace: Do Camels lick plates?

@ WW: Have you perchance mistaken them for Venusians?

[Weeping Willow]

DO you think i did???? weren't Martion suppose to have 3 ears and a horn?

[ShoutGrace]

@ Shoutgrace: Do Camels lick plates?

Are we referring to reality or anything else??? Why can't camels lick plates? :confused:

[Weeping Willow]

Why would they lick them?

[AimusSage]

Are we referring to reality or anything else??? Why can't camels lick plates? :confused:

Was this not in reference to your question about the martians? Is the answer to these questions not obviously positive?

[ShoutGrace]

Am I not rapidly developing a severe brain blister?? :D

[ElizabethSewall]

Why does this thread makes me so confused? Where have you guys lost me?

[Weeping Willow]

Were you in the woods lately?

[ShoutGrace]

Have not truffles hallucenigenic properties?

[ElizabethSewall]

Is there truffles where I am? Which woods do you refer to?

[Weeping Willow]

Don't you know The DARK COLD RAINY CAMEL'S WOOD! ??? MOHAHAH!!!!

[AimusSage]

The Camel's have their own wood?

[ShoutGrace]

Musn't they?

[AimusSage]

What do they do with it?

[Weeping Willow]

don't camels deserve their own place to live?

[ElizabethSewall]

Aren't woods a bit odd for camels to live in?

[Weeping Willow]

Says who ?

[AimusSage]

Perhaps they like to strap themselves to trees?

[Weeping Willow]

you think?

[AimusSage]

Why wouldn't they? Isn't it all in the name of peace?

[Pendragon]

Does not a journey of discovery begin with but a single step? http://www.cosgan.de/images/midi/figuren/e050.gif

[Virgil]

What if you only have one leg, like Robin, can you still take a step

[Riesa]

Is that a lead-in question, or has he already misplaced a leg since I've been away?

[Virgil]

Have you seen a three legged camel? It's Robin.
Yes a lead in question. :lol:

Hi there Riesa.

[RobinHood3000]

Isn't it good to know I have two hands with which to clap?

And with which to pummel others into submission :mad:??:mad:?

[TBtheG]

I know kung-fu, do you?

[smilingtearz]

would camels know kung-fu? :D

[ShoutGrace]

Wouldn't we expect them to?

[smilingtearz]

:eek:
david, you think camels need to know Kung-fu????

[ShoutGrace]

You're honestly saying you don't, Eva? (HI!) :D

[smilingtearz]

*shakes her head*
Isn't that a ridiculous idea?
Was Madonna teaching them kung-fu?? *wondering*

i'm logging off, for a couple of minutes, need to restart my computer... i'll be back shortly :).. do stay

[ShoutGrace]

Is it even possible to teah Kung fu from the top of a skyscraper? :lol:

[smilingtearz]

considering the long time they've been up there, don't you think anything's possible??

[ShoutGrace]

How long have they been up there? I wonder what they do to occupy their time?

[smilingtearz]

Lick dirty plates all the time??? :lol:

[ShoutGrace]

Doesn't that get old??

[smilingtearz]

doesn't that depend on their interests? Why are we still talking about camels?

[ShoutGrace]

Weren't you the one who brought up the idea? You're saying you have more interesting things to talk about?

[smilingtearz]

why don't we talk about...umm... do you sing???

[ShoutGrace]

Would you like to hear me try?

[smilingtearz]

Will your voice be merciful enough to sustain the glass window panes and not damage them at all? :D

[ShoutGrace]

*probably not* :D

Is that the true judge of volocutionary merit, however?

[smilingtearz]

that's just the first test.. WAIT!who's the judge?

[ShoutGrace]

Who would you imagine would be judging me, other than Fiona Apple herself?

[smilingtearz]

ehm..*winks*
the others wont quite understand why you named her...

Do you know her personally??

[ShoutGrace]

Not yet, but does that mean that I cannot hope?

[smilingtearz]

:lol: you think she'd be kind enough??

[ShoutGrace]

Whyever wouldn't she be? (she's so giving to everybody else :D )

Well that all depends on the vocal audition, I suppose, doesn't it?

[smilingtearz]

giving??? :D
we'll have to decide a date for vocal auditions!!

[ShoutGrace]

Do you have a problem with the word?

[smilingtearz]

doesn't that depend on what she's "giving"? :D

[ShoutGrace]

Must we automatically assume the worst? :D

[smilingtearz]

is it in the history of this thread to make good neat assumptions??

[ShoutGrace]

erm, no. :lol: :lol: :D :lol:

Do you not believe I would always give you the benefit of the doubt?

[smilingtearz]

should you??

[ShoutGrace]

Well that depends on your track record, doesn't it??

[smilingtearz]

what Track record??

[ShoutGrace]

Oh, I don't know. How about this one (http://www.online-literature.com/forums/showthread.php?t=2531&page=193&pp=15) ?

[smilingtearz]

Man i have been talking a lot lately, haven't I?? :redface:

[ShoutGrace]

Not any more than myself, wouldn't you say?

[smilingtearz]

how many posts did you make today?

[ShoutGrace]

Oh Lord, can I even recall? :D

Well, I started with less than 50 posts, right? And wouldn't you say that I now have more than 200? Which leads me to the question, What are the most drastic side-effects of chronic insomnia???

[smilingtearz]

:lol: addiction to Litnet??

[ShoutGrace]

:D :D

But in the end, is this a bad thing?

[smilingtearz]

noways!!
you plan to stay online for long??

[ShoutGrace]

Well, would you believe me if I told you that it is 2:48 am here, and that seeing as how I am an insomniac and won't sleep anyway I've concluded that I might as well be online?

Do you?

[smilingtearz]

It's 2:21pm here ... do you think i should allow my younger sister to starve to death??

[ShoutGrace]

Well you have to consider, is it in either of your best interests? :D

And what did your sister ever do to you, that you should entertain these thoughts??

[smilingtearz]

I have to see she has her lunch... do you think that'll be possible if i stay on?

[ShoutGrace]

Oh why should I doubt it for a minute? Haven't you good decision making capabilities, Eva?

[smilingtearz]

You think i do?

[ShoutGrace]

Have not I and others (all others) expounded on this quality of yours enough already? Perhaps Aimus can tell you?

[AimusSage]

Now why would I tell you that? :)

[ShoutGrace]

Do we not care about confirming Eva's self-projection?

[AimusSage]

But what if she starts to think to much? Have you seen the side effects?

[ShoutGrace]

How could I not have seen the side effects!!?!?! :lol: :lol:

Is it possible to just, I don't know, convince her without letting her cognitive processes have a say? Do you know where she is BTW?

[AimusSage]

Perhaps we can try to do so? You mean to say you don't know where she is either?

[ShoutGrace]

Don't tell me you're not well versed when it comes to her manner of flitting here and there, about and out? Will she come back and make things clearer?

[AimusSage]

Why would you think that I am well informed as to her whereabouts? Would I not hope to see her back soon and shed some light on these questions? :)

[smilingtearz]

could you make the questions clearer so that i can answer them? :D

[AimusSage]

How would you like these questions to be?

[ShoutGrace]

Is it time to make our positions clear?

[AimusSage]

What exactly are our positions?

[ShoutGrace]

But isn't that the very question?

[AimusSage]

How would we go about answering that? Is that even possible?

[ShoutGrace]

Isn't it best not to ask, 'is it possible'? Has it not been rightly said that speculation gets you nowhere?

[AimusSage]

When did I remove impossible from my dictionary? Is speculation not a risky business?

[ShoutGrace]

Wouldn't it be true to say that the problem with speculation is that it is highly speculative? How could you have removed a word from your dictionary? Was that not to be taken literally or would you get out the scissors? :D :D

[AimusSage]

Is my dictionary not found on the computer? would I cut out a part of my screen to remove it? Care to speculate on that?

[ShoutGrace]

How couldn't I? Are we not digressing, at least in some minute way?

[AimusSage]

Digress from what? Should we get back to the original subject?

[ShoutGrace]

Hey where did everybody go?

[ShoutGrace]

Can either of us remember the original subject?

(no cheating looking back through threads!!) :D :D

[AimusSage]

How long ago would the original subject be? Have there not been many original subjects?

[ShoutGrace]

Wouldn't that depend on the definition of the word 'original'? Is any subject we discuss at it's root 'original'?

[AimusSage]

Should we not contain the originality to this thread for the sake of clarity?

[ShoutGrace]

Can we really assert that clarity is our goal? :lol:

[AimusSage]

What would you say our goal is?

[ShoutGrace]

Well why wouldn't it be edification?

[AimusSage]

Are you sure you and I are in the same thread? :D

[ShoutGrace]

Well if we aren't, who have I been talking to??? :p

[AimusSage]

How would I know? Is it perhaps all imagined?

[ShoutGrace]

If it were, could either of us discern it? :confused:

[AimusSage]

Wouldn't we need a third person to do so?

[ShoutGrace]

Doesn't this bring us back somewhat to what may have been the (relatively) original topic? Where is dear Eva?

[AimusSage]

Was she not briefly here a while ago?

[ShoutGrace]

If she was, does it even matter if she didn't stay long enough to satisfy our problems?

[AimusSage]

Who caused these problems in the first place? Why should she have to solve our problems?

[ShoutGrace]

I thought that she was the closest embodiment of a true, moral, intellecutal compass that there was! :rolleyes:

Wouldn't she gladly solve others problems if able to?

[AimusSage]

But does she point north when I am lost in the woods, or does she only point the way out of trouble? :goof:

[ShoutGrace]

Could it be true that we don't know everything about her and her ways on the forum here?

[AimusSage]

If we did know everything about her, would we not be considered stalkers?

[ShoutGrace]

Is stalking one as unique and mystifying as dear Eva considered the same as any other type of stalking? Could we not plead complete external lack of self control?

[AimusSage]

Would pleading that be a smart move? Would it create sympathy with the judge and jury?

[ShoutGrace]

Wouldn't that depend on whether the judge/jury has ever occasioned with her?

[ShoutGrace]

Hey did it get brighter in here? Does anyone else smell wildflowers?? HI EVA!

[smilingtearz]

hey :wave: .. i don't know how long i'll stay there's some problem with the electricity here

wait! are you comparing me with wild flowers?? :eek: :p

[AimusSage]

Do they not smell great? :)

[smilingtearz]

are you telling me I smell great? :p

[AimusSage]

Would I think anything less of you?

[smilingtearz]

so you admit you think of me??

oh God i cant stop giggling :lol:

[ShoutGrace]

How does that affect you?

[AimusSage]

Did I just admit to something? Who is presuming things now? :p ;)
Would you prefer me to think of camels instead? :eek:
Do I not like to think of you? :D

[smilingtearz]

How does that affect you?

of course it does! :nod: *winks* :D

uhm.. so.. is it bad to have presumptions??

[ShoutGrace]

Wouldn't everyone agree on this?

[smilingtearz]

Would they???

[AimusSage]

Why on earth would presumptions be bad if they are right?

[ShoutGrace]

Isn't it presumptous to believe that we know whether are presumptions are correct or not?

[smilingtearz]

but what when they are right ?? :p

[ShoutGrace]

Is that a definite sureity?

[AimusSage]

How can you be sure of anything?

[ShoutGrace]

Can't I be sure when Eva tells me it is so! :rolleyes:

[AimusSage]

Would any presumptions not cease to be just that when they are confirmed to be right?

[smilingtearz]

Isn't it interesting to have some mystery in life??

[ShoutGrace]

Is a mystery better than cold hard facts?

[AimusSage]

Aren't mysteries far superiour to cold hard facts in term of fascination?

[ShoutGrace]

Is it not possible I just like saying cold hard because it sounds like my avatar looks?

[smilingtearz]

but aren't fascinations interesting... aren't cold hard facts.. momentary?? what am i saying?

[ShoutGrace]

Could it be possible you have a preliminary disposition and are not giving cold hard facts a fair chance?

[smilingtearz]

Wasn't i the one who was against presumptions till yesterday??

[AimusSage]

Would you not prefer the warmth and depth of a good mystery?

[smilingtearz]

do mysteries have to be Warm and (ehm).. deep? :p

[ShoutGrace]

Does not the mystery of why double entendres and innuendos must permeate this thread confound anyone else? :D :D

[smilingtearz]

why didn't i understand the question, can you simplify it for me?

[ShoutGrace]

Does not the mystery of why double entendres and innuendos must permeate this thread confound anyone else?


why didn't i understand the question, can you simplify it for me?

But wouldn't that take the fun out of it?

[AimusSage]

Isn't that a mystery for us all? Why is anything ever warm and deep?

[ShoutGrace]

Besides, how can I be at all confident that my grammar was correct???

[smilingtearz]

then should i wait and let someone else answer??

[ShoutGrace]

Are you feeling adventurous?

[smilingtearz]

am i supposed to be feeling that way?

[ShoutGrace]

Doesn't it feel good?

[smilingtearz]

are you feeling good??

[AimusSage]

Doesn't a mystery feel good?

[ShoutGrace]

@ Sm.T. Isn't it blatantly obvious? Is it possible that I didn't just repeat myself?

[ShoutGrace]

Is it not true that mysteries feel good only until you realize that in fact all it is is a cold jelly type substance?

[AimusSage]

Was I not talking about the warm and deep mysteries? How could such a mystery turn into a cold jelly type substance?

[ShoutGrace]

Is it not the mystery which is warm and deep and the answer cold and jelly like?

[ShoutGrace]

Is it at all possible I am not dictating my thoughts clearly? :D :D

[smilingtearz]

are you trying your best to??

[ShoutGrace]

Is it not likely that my best is in fact unsatisfactory, not passing minimum requirements?

[AimusSage]

Would a long lasting mystery not be preferable? How is your best unsatisfactory?

[smilingtearz]

what are we talking about now??

[ShoutGrace]

Could it be that asking questions incessantly is neccessarily too confusing for edifying discourse?

[ShoutGrace]

Could that not also be one of the properties that makes it fun? hmmmmmmmmm (?)

[AimusSage]

Are you answering your own questions now?

[ShoutGrace]

Is it that obvious? Is there any way I can make it up to you?

[smilingtearz]

could you treat us with a chocolate fudge??

[ShoutGrace]

Would it make you feel that much better?

[AimusSage]

Perhaps you could make it a special type of fudge?

[smilingtearz]

how would it be special??

[AimusSage]

Isn't that up to Shoutgrace to decide?

[smilingtearz]

why isn't he replying?

[ShoutGrace]

We can all agree that this fudge would have to be special, right?
Maybe a little elixir, maybe a dash of fantasy and exuberance, right?
Isn't it obvious that this fudge is beyond me? *sob*

[ShoutGrace]

why isn't he replying?

You weren't afraid I'd finally expired, were you?

[smilingtearz]

:lol:... would i ever think so... am i not praying for your well-being?

[AimusSage]

Would the fudge benefit from Eva's magical touch?

[ShoutGrace]

Oh I don't think we could hardly doubt it, could we?

[AimusSage]

Wouldn't her touch make it the best fudge in the world?

[ShoutGrace]

Oh Gods yes, I can't help but envision and yearn/long/outwardly pine for that delectable dessert, can you?

[AimusSage]

Could I envision it if I wasn't blinded by her presence?

[ShoutGrace]

Wouldn't that depend on where she was at the time? Unless, as I could take it, we are talking about a presence beyond physical?

[AimusSage]

Are we now heading into the metaphysical?

[ShoutGrace]

Well does it look like it? Are you prepared to be dissapointed in my utter lack or communicative skills when it comes to metaphysics?

I think we can both agree Eva's presence transcends both time and space, am I right?

[AimusSage]

Would that be a fair assesment? Wouldn't that make her presence omniversal and multidimensional? Wouldn't that mean there are an infinite number of Eva's?
