Questions Only

[ShoutGrace]

Isn't it too late to ask that question?

[kathycf]

Or is it too early?

[ShoutGrace]

Hmmm you live back East right?

Is it being too early really a bad thing?

[kathycf]

Perhaps not a bad thing unless one has insomnia? Do you think I should say goodnight now?
(goodnight...:) ) oops, was I supposed to make that a question as well? ;)

[RJbibliophil]

Why should you not make it a question?

[ShoutGrace]

Isn't this the question thread? Aren't questions the necessary mode of communication here?

[AimusSage]

What if the question answers itself?

[ShoutGrace]

Wouldn't that inherently defeat the purpose of the question?

[AimusSage]

Isn't a riddle a form of such a question? Is not the answer to a riddle contained within?

[ShoutGrace]

Doesn't that depend on your perspective?

If I am retarded (which I honestly cannot deny) is not the riddle answer forever hidden from me?

[AimusSage]

How is not being able to see the answer the same as the answer not being there?
How can you not deny being retarded when the truth points otherwise?

[ShoutGrace]

If the answer cannot be seen, is not the answer, for all practical purposes anyway, worthless?

The answer may be there, but if it cannot be discerned, does it even matter?

:D :D

[AimusSage]

Isn't the challenge of a riddle to find an answer where one is not seemingly apparant?

[ShoutGrace]

Doesn't that result in brain blisters for the poor victim that the riddle is thrown upon?

[AimusSage]

Doesn't that only happen when you use your brain incorrectly? Does the correct usage of the brain not stimulate it's functioning, eventually resulting in a growth in mental capacity?

[ShoutGrace]

Whatever gave you that idea? Aren't there a finite number of synapse firings that a brain is capable of?

[AimusSage]

Am I not referring to effective use of the brain? does that not include the firing of the proper synapses making the correct connections in a brain?

[ShoutGrace]

Are you here trying to postulate the notion that the brain can be used either effectively or wastefully?

[AimusSage]

Do you think there is only one way to use the brain?

[ShoutGrace]

Does the brain have no rights of it's own? Is it okay to just 'use' it, without asking?

[AimusSage]

are you implying that the brain is a seperate entity?

[ShoutGrace]

Can I not merely put forth the idea that the brain has rights and should be respected?

[kathycf]

Doesn't the pancreas deserve any respect as well? Why does the brain get all the props? For that matter, what of the gallbladder?

[ShoutGrace]

Don't you give more respect to your pancreas than to your brain? Would you believe me if I told you that I don't drink soda anymore but that I think nothing of going without sleep for 3 days?

[Mililalil XXIV]

Who cares [about the soda]? That sounded nice, didn't it? Three days?

[kathycf]

Yes, yes, but what of the gallbladder????!! :lol:

[Mililalil XXIV]

The one...gall bladder?

[kathycf]

The one...? Is that like the one ring? Does said gallbladder convey the same sort of evil dread as the one ring?

[Mililalil XXIV]

Haven't you spoken with the golem bladder?

[rabid reader]

Why would you bring up the Golem Bladder? Don't you know what kind of memories that brings back?

[kathycf]

Dear me, do you have a golem bladder related trauma? What the heck IS a golem bladder anyway?

[rabid reader]

Is that any of your business? :mad:

[kathycf]

Um, if you didn't want anyone to ask a question, why did you put this in the Questions only game thread? :confused:

[rabid reader]

Ooooh, did someone eat the crabby pill?

[kathycf]

Is that any of your business? :mad:

Hmm, did this someone perhaps? :p

:mad: equals angry, :p equals joking....

[rabid reader]

(thanks... I figured it was the other way my bad lol)
Are you telling me what I can and can't eat?

[Mililalil XXIV]

What does your golem bladder demandses?

[RJbibliophil]

are bladders more interesting than turnips?

[kathycf]

What do you think Aimus, aka turnip king would answer to that question?

[AimusSage]

Don't you agree a full bladder needs to be emptied first before answering any questions relating to turnips?

[kathycf]

Isn't that a good practice before answering any type of question? :lol:

[AimusSage]

What if the question is 'Do you have to peepee little johnny?' Don't you think Johhny should answer the question before emptying his bladder?

[kathycf]

Do you think that I would ask little Johnny such a personal question?
Would the question perhaps be more appropriate if Johnny was in the vicinity of a restroom and fidgeting like mad?

[RJbibliophil]

Why in the world can you not eat castles?

[AimusSage]

Who said you can't?

What if Johnny was in class, and his teacher asked him this question?

[kathycf]

For castles are made of bricks and stone, and would cause indigestion? How on earth did you find a way to dodge the little johnny question?

*edit* How do you people post so darn quick?????? :lol:

[AimusSage]

Can it be little Johnny lived in the castle she tried to eat?

[kathycf]

Do they have restrooms in this castle for little Johnny's restroomy type needs?

[AimusSage]

What if they don't?

[RJbibliophil]

Do you think the turret stones or staircase slabs would be more tasty to gnaw on?

[AimusSage]

We are not talking about an aircastle?

[RJbibliophil]

Oh, but aren't they air stones? How should one go about cleaning castle crock pots?

[AimusSage]

Don't they get cleaned everytime little Johnny has to go peepee?

[RJbibliophil]

Were there flags atop all the turrets?

[AimusSage]

Don't they only let the flags out when little Johnny goes peepee?

[RJbibliophil]

But are not the red dragon banners always flying?

[AimusSage]

Are you saying that little Johnny always does peepee?

[Pendragon]

What, oh wise sage, does a red flag have to do with a loo? :D

http://www.smiliegenerator.de/s30/smilies-11932.png

[RJbibliophil]

But is it not the green banners they raise at that time?

[AimusSage]

Are the red banners reserved for bigger deliveries from little Johnny?

[RJbibliophil]

Don't the red ones fly all the time? Wait, aren't the yellow ones for small packages and green ones for bigger ones?

[kathycf]

Then what do the purple flags mean? Dare I ask?
Will it have something to do with that little peeing machine, Johnny?

[AimusSage]

Don't you think Johnny needs to grow up first before they can use the purple flag? :)

[kathycf]

Will his nick name then be grown up Johnny, waver of flags?

[ShoutGrace]

Why would it be anything else?

[Pendragon]

Maybe, Johnny Flagg, Hero of the Castle Loo? :rolleyes:

[RJbibliophil]

Aren't the black banners for treachery and piracy, the white for surrenders, the orange for joyous events, the yellow and green for johnny's refuse, the red because it is his castle, and the purple for when he rules? Won't they fly gray flags when johnny is ill, and when his castle folk are dangerously, contagiously ill?

[kathycf]

Can I kick Johnny in the shins? Please?

[blondeatheart]

why would you want to do that?

[ShoutGrace]

Can we not assume that she has good reasons?

[kathycf]

Would you be shocked if I said I did?

[Virgil]

Can I kick him too? Who's this Johnny, btw, that we want to kick?

[kathycf]

Perhaps he is some annoying critter who always has to go to the restroom? Do you have steel toe boots appropriate for Johhny kicking? What time would you like to get started?

[Virgil]

What if my steel tips shoes needed soles?

[kathycf]

Would you like me to make an appointment at the cobbler's for you?

[Virgil]

Would you mind lending me our shoes to kick Johnny after you have given him a few swift kicks?

[kathycf]

I will, but do you think they will fit you? Do you have small feet?

[Virgil]

Can't I fold the back support down and wear them as slippers?

[kathycf]

Do you think that is the best course of action? Maybe the boots might break on Johnny's shins?

[Virgil]

What do I care if your boots break on Johnny's shins? :D

[AimusSage]

Don't you think it's cruel to kick little Johnny on the shins? What assurance do you have kicking him will not make him go peepee all over your feet?

[RJbibliophil]

Why are you conspiring to kick little Johnny? Wouldn't that be considered child abuse?

[RobinHood3000]

What did little Johnny do? Ask seemingly innocent questions of his parents again?

[AimusSage]

Is Kathy little Johnny's mother? If so, who'se the father?

[RJbibliophil]

Isn't that you? I'm no more than the castle house-keeper, right?

[AimusSage]

How dare you say I am the father? How is that even possible? :eek2:

It is possible for me to deny everything right?

[Mililalil XXIV]

Same old questions, eh Aimus? Eh?

[AimusSage]

Which questions would that be? Was I the one who implied I was little Johnny's father?

[Pendragon]

Man, you go on holiday two days... :rolleyes: We're still on PeePot Johnny? Hasn't anyone let the l'il tyke into the loo yet? http://www.clicksmilies.com/s0105/spezial/Fool/wcj.gif

[Weeping Willow]

WHat's up people! ??????

[RJbibliophil]

Was not the topic of conversation Johnny and his air castle that he lives in?

[kilted exile]

Was not the original subject about whether the glass was half empty? and did we ever finish that discussion?

[AimusSage]

Did little johnny finaly relieved himself? Did he fill half a glass with it?

[ShoutGrace]

What good will it do to delve into such speculative areas?

Does it matter if he only filled 1/3 of a glass?

[AimusSage]

Don't you think he would be able to fill more than one glass if he really had to go?

[ShoutGrace]

I don't know . . . Would you believe me if I told you that I'm not very experienced in judging urine transfer rate/volume?

[AimusSage]

What is the size of the glass we are speaking of?

[ShoutGrace]

Who would know? Has anybody seen it?

[AimusSage]

Could it be a glass the size of a small skyscraper?

[ShoutGrace]

Wouldn't that be exciting?

Do you think the camels can see it from their skyscraper?

[AimusSage]

What if a camel accidentily falls into the glass? What would little Johnny's urine do to it?

[ShoutGrace]

Cover it's awful stench?

[AimusSage]

What if little Johnny's urine is some form of acidic liquid?

[ShoutGrace]

Wasn't Johnny a mere human being?

[AimusSage]

Can we be sure of this?

[ShoutGrace]

Perhaps we should do some research?

Who knows Johnny best?

[AimusSage]

Isn't Kathy his mother?

[ShoutGrace]

And where is she?

[AimusSage]

Could she be hiding from little Johnny?

[ShoutGrace]

Would any mother do that?

[AimusSage]

I am not a mother am I? How would I know?

[ShoutGrace]

Haven't you observed any maternal behaviour in your lifetime?

[AimusSage]

Why would you think I didn't? Do I not have a mother?

[ShoutGrace]

Weren't you spontaneously spawned out of molten lava?

[Pendragon]

The question is not whether the glass is half-full or half-empty, but do you know the difference? :nod: On the other hand, we are not medical students, so why would we be handed one filled to ANY level with urine? :confused: Since Johnny is in a sky-castle, can't we create him any number of loo's to use? http://www.cosgan.de/images/midi/ekelig/c005.gif

[AimusSage]

Are you saying molton lava cannot have motherly feelings?

But doesn't it rain everytime little Johnny uses the loo?

[Pendragon]

You have heard of "acid rain" haven't you? :D

[AimusSage]

Is that what they mean with that term? But aren't people trying to stop acid rain? Does that mean they want to kill little Johnny?

[ShoutGrace]

Don't you think that if people knew Johnny any better, he would already be dead?

[AimusSage]

Why would you say something like that? Isn't little Johnny an innocent little child?

[ShoutGrace]

Can you be innocent and also pee into a cup as big as a skyscraper?

[AimusSage]

Why wouldn't that be possible? Does ones level of innocence depend on the amount of urine one produces?

[ShoutGrace]

Isn't there a correlation between innocence and peeing location?

[AimusSage]

But what made you think the peeing location of little Johnny was in any way anti-inncocent?

[ShoutGrace]

Perhaps it was the invocation of the skyscraper?

[AimusSage]

But where can you hide a glass the size of a skyscraper without people seeing it?

[ShoutGrace]

Why shouldn't it be available for public scrutiny?

[kathycf]

I'm back, who missed me? ;)


Isn't Kathy his mother?


Is Kathy little Johnny's mother? If so, who'se the father?


How dare you say I am the father? How is that even possible? :eek2:

It is possible for me to deny everything right?

Oh my goodness, is this a soap opera?????? :lol: Shall we tune in tomorrow to find out the real truth of little Johnny's parentage, where he pees and will he ever stop going pee?

[ShoutGrace]

If it's a soap opera, where is the tension? Not the mention the implied raw sex?

[Mililalil XXIV]

The raw implications of the mere word "soap", you mean?

[ShoutGrace]

Doesn't soap have only good implications?

(it's only raw when you scrub too much :D )

[Mililalil XXIV]

What about all the dirt it is expected to have to wash away?

[ShoutGrace]

What dirt? How much time was spent between showerings?

[Mililalil XXIV]

And when were the clothes washed? Ye know not of dirt enough?

[ShoutGrace]

Don't I look clean enough? You don't suspect me of uncleanliness do you?

[caesar]

If I didn't, would I ask?

[ShoutGrace]

I could I assure anybody either way?

[Chava]

Could you?

[ShoutGrace]

If I could, what do you think that it would take?

[Chava]

What was the original question again?

[AimusSage]

Did it have anything to do with unclean furry creatures acting in a soap-opera written by Guiseppe Verdi that was until recently washed away in obscurity?

[Pendragon]

Perhaps it had to do with the furry creatures with wings inside of Aimus' head? :rolleyes: ;)

[AimusSage]

I have winged furry creatures in my head? Are you sure? Are you sure you don't mean little Johnny's head?

[caesar]

The original question was whether I suspect ShoutGrace of uncleanliness, wasn't it?

[AimusSage]

Why is the glass half empty? Is this not the original question?

[RJbibliophil]

Why must Aimus always be fishing in the air?

[AimusSage]

I do what?

[Chava]

Do you do anything?

[AimusSage]

Wasn't I just wondering the same thing? :D

[ShoutGrace]

Isn't wondering about something in fact doing something?

[AimusSage]

What if Chava meant to say doing anything useful? Don't you think I would have to answer that question negatively?

[ShoutGrace]

Wouldn't it be best to ask her? Where did she go?

[AimusSage]

Maybe she had to feed little Johnny because Kathy asked her to? Or is that only a wild guess?

[ShoutGrace]

How do you feed a Johnny who is capable of peeing into a skyscraper sized cup?//

[AimusSage]

Maybe he only needs to drink a lot, and needs only a small amount of food?

[ShoutGrace]

Isn't that true of a lot of people/living organisms?

[AimusSage]

why would it be inconceivable that little Johnny eat just one cracker a day?

[ShoutGrace]

Is it a saltine cracker or any other kind of cracker?

[AimusSage]

Don't you think you'd have to ask Chava or Kathy that question?

[kathycf]

How the heck should I know?

[AimusSage]

You mean to say that you never feed little Johnny?

[kathycf]

Do I even know little Johnny? Why is feeding him suddenly MY responsibility?

[ShoutGrace]

Hasn't it been more than intimated that you are his mother?

Are you somehow denying that fact?

[AimusSage]

You mean to say you are not his mother? :eek2: Do you agree little Johnny just got a lot more scary?

[kathycf]

Am I to blame for other's intimations that Johnny is somehow my offspring?

Wasn't it in fact Aimus who brought Johnny into this game in the first place???? Isn't that the real scariness in this whole Johnny business?

[ShoutGrace]

Isn't it obvious that this entire business has had me alternately frightened/dumbfounded from the very beginning?

When will little Johnny go away?

[AimusSage]

Who's little Johnny? :rolleyes:

[kathycf]

Maybe we should discuss who little Janey is? Is she Johnny's sister?

[AimusSage]

Are they twins?

[kathycf]

If they are twins, do you think they were seperated at birth?

[AimusSage]

Why would that have happened?

[ShoutGrace]

Wasn't the mother a fugitive, being hounded by Russian hypochondriac bureau officials?

[kathycf]

Who knows? Why don't you ask ShoutGrace?
Isn't he the guy to answer all sorts of questions? Or does he just ask them? :lol:

[ShoutGrace]

Isn't the real trick satiating a question with another question?

Couldn't I say the same of you Kathy?? :D :D

[AimusSage]

What if they were Siamese twins?

[kathycf]

What do I look like, some sort of know-it-all? :D

[AimusSage]

You really have trouble admitting things don't you?

[ShoutGrace]

Isn't modesty a commendable quality in a lady?

[AimusSage]

What does modesty have to do with it?

[ShoutGrace]

Are you talking about implicated or explicit modesty?

[AimusSage]

Do I have to think about that now?

[kathycf]

Can modesty be explicit?

Am I being modest? I thought I was saying I was a dope, don't you think? :p

[ShoutGrace]

Don't we always give you the benefit of the doubt?

[AimusSage]

Is doubt beneficial for Kathy?

[kathycf]

Of course it is....isn't it?

[AimusSage]

Doesn't that suggest you have something to hide?

[kathycf]

Why would you ever think that?

[AimusSage]

What else could I think? Don't you know I am paranoid about people that are called Kathy? Have you never heard about the psycho that killer her sister? Wasn't she named Kathy? :p

[kathycf]

Shouldn't that person correctly be called Cathy? Isn't Kathy a non-murdery type of name? Do you see the difference? :cool:

[AimusSage]

Are you saying that the killer disguised her true identitiy by changing her name to Cathy? That's not such a good disguise is it? Why didn't the killer change her name into Oswald or something similarly different?

[ShoutGrace]

Perhaps Oswald would be to obvious? Isn't Cathy a much less conspicuous name?

[kathycf]

Indeed, wouldn't a murderer want to remain inconspicuous? But what if the murderer wanted to get caught? Maybe they might choose a very conspicuous name then?

[Virgil]

Isn't there only one Kathy in this coversation that can be construed as a murderer?

[kathycf]

Surely you don't mean little ol' me?

[Virgil]

Aren't you being coy?

[kathycf]

Coy? Isn't this all Aimus's fault? If anyone is a coy murderer, don't you think it would be him?

[ShoutGrace]

He did misdirect a lot of attention from himself, didn't he?

[kathycf]

Isn't that diabolical?

[ShoutGrace]

Did we expect anything less?

[ShoutGrace]

. . . Or more??

[kathycf]

Are you saying Aim is an evil genius? :p

[AimusSage]

Don't you think that if I was an evil genius I wouldn't have to talk about little Johnny an Janey, commonly known as Kathy's twins? :D

[Virgil]

Why is this murderer talking to us? Don't you think he beats up little kids too?

[Pendragon]

If I remember the Ray Steven's song correctly, Coy was the Shriner whose fez had a propeller on top, so how smart could he be? Isn't likely he'd talk to anyone of murder? :p

[kathycf]

What could you expect of someone who wears a fez in polite company? Wait, are we polite company?

[AimusSage]

Who are we talking about?

[caesar]

Wasn't it about the wily walrus and the crafty carpenter?

[Virgil]

Why does someone with the noble name of Caesar have a monkey for an avatar?

[Pendragon]

Beware! Didn't you notice he also has a very big stick? :nod:

[blondeatheart]

do you believe in true love?

[RJbibliophil]

Aren't we supposed to talk softly and carry a big stick?

[ShoutGrace]

Does that not depend on what your vocation/occupation is?

[kathycf]

What if your occupation actually was big stick carrier who talks softly?

[ShoutGrace]

Wouldn't you be laughed at for being a metaphorical caricature? :D

(Hey! oh, but it's Friday. It's so late where you are . . .)

[kathycf]

don't you know I am by trade a big stick carrier as was my mother and her mother before her? Are you saying folks laugh at me? :p

(Heya! :wave: Tis true, it is late here...or early 2:18am :yawnb: )

[ShoutGrace]

How does one develop an interest in jumbo stick carrying?

[kathycf]

Hmm. how could I begin to tell?

[ShoutGrace]

Perhaps you could start with your ancestors? What made them decide to do it?

[AimusSage]

What does it pay being a stick carrier that speaks softly?

[Pendragon]

For Blondeatheart: Why would I NOT believe in true love? :nod:

[RJbibliophil]

Wouldn't speaking softly help prevent others from noticing you? Make it easier to sneak up on them?

[caesar]

Do I love my stick?

[RJbibliophil]

Why should you?

[caesar]

Why not.......?

[ShoutGrace]

Perhaps the stick is radioactive? Or infested with some nefarious disease?

[RJbibliophil]

What gave you such a ridiculous idea? What have you recently been reading?

[caesar]

Was it Hazardous Sticks by RJbibliophil :lol:

[kathycf]

Was it Hazardous Sticks by RJbibliophil :lol:

Haven't you heard that is a best-seller?



Perhaps you could start with your ancestors? What made them decide to do it?

Do you think I should ask them? Do you think I could make that much of a long distance call?


What does it pay being a stick carrier that speaks softly?
Doesn't it pay for all my sock gartering needs?

[AimusSage]

You have lots of sock gartering needs?

[ShoutGrace]

Isn't sock gartering a rather demanding occupation?

[Pendragon]

Do you think I should ask them? Do you think I could make that much of a long distance call?


If I recall, the good Doctor can make the connections for you through his T.A.R.D.I.S., fix you right up to call forward or backward through time on a cell phone, I believe? ;) :nod:

[caesar]

What kinda question was that?

[ShoutGrace]

If I recall, the good Doctor can make the connections for you through his T.A.R.D.I.S., fix you right up to call forward or backward through time on a cell phone, I believe? ;) :nod:


Wouldn't you need a hard line to perform such a complicated maneuver?

[Pendragon]

Well, if you can believe in time travel, and a being that can regenerate 12 times, so that there will eventually be 13 of him, all criss-crossing each other in time, a small problem like that becomes insignificant, doesn't it? ;) :nod:

[ShoutGrace]

Isn't it only earthworms or regenerate themselves into more of themselves?

Or do starfish do it as well?

[thevintagepiper]

I thought starfish could simply expand, right?

[ShoutGrace]

Where did you hear that?

Didn't you hear the (fantastical ? ) tale of the sailors/seamen who hated the starfish for some reason, and were chopping them up into 5 or 6 pieces, and throwing them into the ocean, unaware of the fact that they were creating 5 or 6 more starfish?

[Pendragon]

Since yes, they do regenerate, the sailors were actually seeding the reef with more starfish, while trying to destroy them? Hee-hee! As for Doctor Who, don't you know that all things are possible with God, to him that believes, and in fiction? :nod:

[ShoutGrace]

Isn't that what makes reading fiction so wonderful?

[caesar]

what........?

[Pendragon]

Isn't it though? Ceaser, did you forget you had opposable thumbs for a moment? ;)

[caesar]

Is your tail as good as my opposable thumbs? :lol:

[Pendragon]

Would you believe a Dragon's tail is NOT prehensile? Where’s the fairness in that? :lol:

[AimusSage]

Dragons don't have opposable thumbs on their claws?

[caesar]

Would you believe a Dragon's tail is NOT prehensile? Where’s the fairness in that?

Isn't it fair that you are blessed with an appendage which can keep off flies? :D


Dragons don't have opposable thumbs on their claws?

Opposable or not, but his claws are as prehensile as his mind; if not, how do you think he uses his pen? ;)

[kathycf]

Why ask Aimus that, isn't his field of expertise all things turnip related?
In other words, isn't Aimus a turniper?

[ShoutGrace]

What else would we expect out of Aimus?

[Pendragon]

Yeah, Dragons have opposable thumbs but how many people make a pen to fit in them? http://www.cosgan.de/images/midi/traurig/b007.gif And Ceaser, do you really think a fly could bother an armor-plated Dragon? :D :lol:

[caesar]

I don't know; but why not use your tail for a pen?

That way, you can not only make your tail useful, but also overcome the difficulty in finding a pen that fits your claws. :idea:

[AimusSage]

But aren't I the best turniper in the known universe?
