Questions Only

[verybaddmom]

you wouldnt want to clash, now, would you?

[emily655321]

Wait, I would have to listen to the Clash too?

[papayahed]

Can we rock the Casbah (sp?)?

[emily655321]

Is it capable of being rocked?

[verybaddmom]

who knows until you try?

[imthefoolonthehill]

Does Benny Hill know?

[simon]

Who the, use your creative imagination here, is Benny Hill?

[Shea]

Is it a misspelled hill with long ears?

[emily655321]

Am I supposed to understand what that means?

[verybaddmom]

Dont you know what a bunny looks like?

[emily655321]

Oh, you mean my brain was supposed to be turned on for that question?

[verybaddmom]

isnt your brain always turned on?

[verybaddmom]

you mean there is an 'off' switch???

[emily655321]

Wouldn't that wear down the batteries?

[verybaddmom]

where is it??

(i excitedly await your response. if i could just turn it off sometimes...you know...to sleep and stuff....)

[emily655321]

You mean my battery-powered brain or the one in my head?

[verybaddmom]

they sell those?

[verybaddmom]

where did you find an external one?

[emily655321]

Do you expect me to reveal that on a public forum?

[verybaddmom]

is it a secret?

[emily655321]

Do FBI agents frequent the forum?

[verybaddmom]

how would we know?

[verybaddmom]

are you FBI?

[emily655321]

are YOU FBI?

[verybaddmom]

who's asking?

[random_hero]

wasnt em asking?

[imthefoolonthehill]

Wasn't AbdoRinbo FBI?

[random_hero]

What happened to rainbows? Who died and made them the symbols for homosexuality? Was the name abdoRINBO the trigger for that random thought? Is there even a way to tell? Did anyone even invite fool on the hill to comment on MY post?

[imthefoolonthehill]

.|.. Does anyone listen to this guy? Who's the bimbo in his avatar?

[verybaddmom]

LMFAO...do you really rock fool? or is it just my imagination?

[imthefoolonthehill]

did you steal my imagination? Who stole my imagination? Is there a nation called imagi?

[imthefoolonthehill]

... that was really lame... sorry. :-\

[emily655321]

You trying to be rebellious, making up your own smilies? ;)

[Shea]

can a smilie be rebellious?

[emily655321]

Doesn't that depend on who you're rebelling against?

[verybaddmom]

who are we rebelling against again?

[emily655321]

Is "Boohbah" an acceptable answer?

[verybaddmom]

is it?

[emily655321]

Is what it?

[verybaddmom]

is what what?

[emily655321]

Well, it's the same word isn't it?

[imthefoolonthehill]

Why do you people never make sense?

[verybaddmom]

wow! are we supposed to make sense??

[imthefoolonthehill]

did I say sense? I meant uh... cats.

[verybaddmom]

how does one make cats?

[verybaddmom]

dont you have to BE a cat to make more?

[imthefoolonthehill]

Couldn't a scientist do that?

[verybaddmom]

Should they be allowed to do that?

[simon]

Are we really a sane enough crowd to be making existence altering decisions on the creation of cats?

[emily655321]

Since when has sanity been a requisite for the decision to create life?

[imthefoolonthehill]

can we create life, or do we take existing life and modify it?

[simon]

And what of the creation of babies?

[emily655321]

Isn't that what I meant by "create life"?

[simon]

Why is it that the response I want to give to that question is deemed unappropriate for posting?

[emily655321]

Is it political, or profane?

[ajoe]

Is the letter p a taboo?

[emily655321]

Will I be banned if I say, "Pithy Peter Piper piously picked a prodigous peck of porous, pulpy, paltry, pitifully puny, piquant pickled Passion Peppers"?

(I like your new avatar, btw :D)

[simon]

Would it make any difference if Peter pulled peppers petulantly instead of piously picked?

[papayahed]

What about the woodchuck?

[emily655321]

Is this thread getting oddly suggestive or do I just have a dirty mind? :p

[ajoe]

Was the woodchuck the one who chucks wood? How much wood would a woodchuck chuck if a woodchuck could chuck wood anyway?

[emily655321]

Isn't chucking wood rather wasteful?

[papayahed]

Doesn't it depend on how much wood was chucked?

[emily655321]

Does it matter, if it could have been used for something else?

[ajoe]

But do woodchucks really care about that stuff?

[emily655321]

Who am I to prejudge the empathetical capacities of woodchucks?

[simon]

what is a woodchuck?

[ajoe]

Why are we even still on woodchucks?

[emily655321]

*checks under chair*

Are you sitting on a woodchuck too?

[imthefoolonthehill]

does a rockchuck count?

[emily655321]

Have you heard one count?

[imthefoolonthehill]

do they do it loud enough to hear?

[emily655321]

How else would they keep track, without fingers or a brain?

[ravana]

Who do you mean by saying "they"?

[simon]

Is this part of some conspiracy theory?

[emily655321]

If they overhear us discussing it, which one of us do you think they'd kill?

[simon]

Would it be me since I am the most black hearted, or would that be insentive to keep me around?

[emily655321]

Or would they rather recruit you as an assassin?

[simon]

Do you think they can keep me under control?

[emily655321]

Are you resistant to blowfish toxins?

[verybaddmom]

are we back to the blowfish again?

[verybaddmom]

isnt that a different thread?

[emily655321]

You're one of Them, aren't you?

[verybaddmom]

am i?


(stupid minimum characters rule...)

[emily655321]

"Are" any of us?

[amuse]

can be simultaneously one of us & one of them?

[verybaddmom]

do you have mpd?

[amuse]

you've not heard we talking to us yet? :D :D

[verybaddmom]

is that you guys talking?

[emily655321]

Wherefore is you asked myself of this?

[amuse]

wherefore art thou/though/thought? :D

[emily655321]

Why do we keep coming back to such philosophical questions?
Wherefore art thou, piglet?

[amuse]

i may be up a tree, pooh, is that what this wet blue stuff is called that i'm flying in?

[emily655321]

Piglet, dear, are you mutilating smurfs again?

[amuse]

didn't the nice gargamel ask me to?

[emily655321]

Did he hypnotize you with his heinous mole?

[amuse]

am i going to get stuck in the tree now?
*quivers fearfully, flashes back to pooh's ordeal.

[amuse]

*oops!

what is a mole? am i one?

[emily655321]

Feel like base jumping?

[emily655321]

*well, you have the same basic mole-ecular structure. :p*

[amuse]

*lol, gotta love all meanings of "mole."*

sho', wanna bunji and double dutch jump [rope] too?

[emily655321]

Wanna do it alone and see if I'll catch you?

[amuse]

*roflmao

[s10cr]

[emily655321]

Well, aren'tcha gonna ask a question?

[amuse]

what if i keep falling and don't wake up?

[simon]

Does it matter if you were never awake in the first place?

[verybaddmom]

i was never awake?

[simon]

In the long run does it really matter?

[amuse]

have we been running long, then?

[simon]

Aren't you starting to become short of breath and tired yet?

[verybaddmom]

cant you see me fainting dead away?

[amuse]

why didn't you faint alive away?

[simon]

didn't you know people keep dying here and becoming ghosts?

[verybaddmom]

didnt you realize that ghosts are scary?

[emily655321]

How scary can hot spots of residual electromagnetic energy in the atmosphere possibly be?

[imthefoolonthehill]

what on earth is she talking about?

[emily655321]

Haven't you heard of ectoplasm?

[verybaddmom]

havent you heard of English?

[Sancho]

No, no hablo; de donde es usted?

[verybaddmom]

pardoner moi?

[ajoe]

apaan sih?

[amuse]

es este solomente por linguas diferentes ahora?

[ajoe]

can we go back to engrish please?

[simon]

Was? Sprechen sie deutsch?

[emily655321]

Canst thou begin to like govoreet in slovos your Humble Narrator can understand, my little droogies, thou?

[verybaddmom]

eh?

(did you know that i am Canadian?)

[ajoe]

why do Americans like to make fun of canadians?

[verybaddmom]

why does one culture ever feel superior to another?

[papayahed]

culture? like bacteria?

[emily655321]

Would "superior bacteria" be considered a rhyme or a slant rhyme?

[faith]

Is Homer Simpson u or are we getting a little sidetracked? ;)

[emily655321]

Sidetracked by what? Have you read the rest of this thread? :)

[papayahed]

What thread?

[emily655321]

What do you think you're posting on?

[amuse]

an oversized post-it that i have to turn on and protect from strangers?

[papayahed]

Are they after me again? or is it my post-its they want?

[verybaddmom]

what is a post-it?

[emily655321]

Doesn't anybody else call them "post-it notes"?

[verybaddmom]

what ever happened to this thread?
does no one have any more questions?
how can that be?

[Koa]

why did you take this out of oblivion?

[verybaddmom]

dont you like it?
didnt you miss it?

[trismegistus]

But should we resurrect everything we miss?

[Isagel]

Are we just playing God - bringing life back to that which was dead?

[verybaddmom]

does that make you uncomfortable?

[Ender]

shouldn't it?

[emily655321]

Could I possibly like your signature more, Ender? :D

[verybaddmom]

could there be just one time when i disagree with you emily?

[emily655321]

Haven't we clashed on the subject of ;) Nickelback?

[Ender]

Ok. which one of you likes Nickelback?

[emily655321]

Do I look like I'd like Nickelback?

:p

[Ender]

Should I disown vbm over Nickelback?

[papayahed]

Do I have to go see Nickelback on tuesday?

[verybaddmom]

why cant you just let it go?

[ajoe]

What's wrong with Nickelback? Isn't their song "Someday" the best? :D

[verybaddmom]

but when is someday anyway?

[Kiwi Shelf]

Who wishes to dwell on someday?

[verybaddmom]

Ender...are you under the impression that you owned vbm in the first place????

[Ender]

Who needs to own something before they disown it?

[verybaddmom]

what makes you think that made sense?

[Ender]

Don't I always make sense?

[ajoe]

Doesn't everyone have common sense?

[verybaddmom]

is common sense really that common?

[Ender]

If it were, would you dance with a monkey?

[Kiwi Shelf]

Do monkeys dance?

[amuse]

do orangutangs tango?

[ajoe]

Does anyone know what "orang utan" literally means? :D

[Kiwi Shelf]

Does anybody think about it?

[verybaddmom]

why would anyone spend precious time thinking about that?

[emily655321]

Doesn't it mean "forest person"?

[Ender]

Does it really matter?

[verybaddmom]

does what really matter?
does that answer your question?

[Kiwi Shelf]

Is it okay if this makes no sense?

[emily655321]

Doesn't anyone else recall this post (#126)?

<<<NEW RULES!!! Can't ask questions such as "Why should what matter?" and "Why should I even care?" anymore because... frankly, because they suck! >>>

[Kiwi Shelf]

Am I the only one that didn't backtrack and actually read the old posts?

[emily655321]

Do you have to reread old posts to remember one of them?

[verybaddmom]

did you forget that the poster of said lame question was newbie here?

[emily655321]

Do you generally believe me astute enough to notice such a thing?

[Ender]

Did I ask a lame question?

[emily655321]

How am I supposed to answer that in the form of a question? :p


***Ender -- not "lame" as in "Ender is lame," but as in "we had decided at a time before you joined that questions like 'does it matter' are sort of cheaters, in that they don't enhance the game and are hard to find creative ways of responding to." Phew. ;) But I forgot you weren't here at the beginning of the thread. Consider it a compliment. :D***

[verybaddmom]

is it time to move onto a new topic now?

[Kiwi Shelf]

We have a topic? :p

[verybaddmom]

hmm......a topic?

what happens when children see more than they should?

[Kiwi Shelf]

Where do you think crime and other negative acts come from?

[emily655321]

Can I answer "human nature" to both of those?

[Kiwi Shelf]

You don't think parents influence that?

[emily655321]

Aren't parents human?

[verybaddmom]

why does everyone blame their problems on their parents?

[verybaddmom]

when will people take responsibility for their own actions?

[emily655321]

When will people make their own course of action instead of following someone else's example?

[Kiwi Shelf]

When they are shown to travel their own course?

[odin2]

What course of action??

[emily655321]

Wouldn't it defeat the point to tell you?

[imthefoolonthehill]

whats the point?

[verybaddmom]

you mean you dont know??

[Edzabeen]

Should I realy know something about that?

[emily655321]

Shouldn't you know a little something about everything?

[Ender]

Why not have everyone know a lot about something, and then pool the knowledge?

[emily655321]

Wouldn't one get bored (and paranoid) to only know by hearsay?

[Kiwi Shelf]

Don't people generally pay too much attention to heresay?

[Ender]

Isn't that what Western society hinges on?

[verybaddmom]

isnt there a better way?

[Ender]

Perhaps following the path, like in Taoism?

[verybaddmom]

what is taoism?

[verybaddmom]

does that look like too many vowels?

[Kiwi Shelf]

In English, what is too many vowels?
Do we not hear often how strange our language is?

[verybaddmom]

dont you think there are stranger languages?

[emily655321]

Strange by whose standards?

[verybaddmom]

do we have standards? are they standard standards?

[emily655321]

Standard by whose standards?

[verybaddmom]

should there be a universal standard?

[amuse]

should there be a universe? :D

[verybaddmom]

dont you think we would all be homeless if there werent a universe?

[emily655321]

Is there a Universe?

[amuse]

would it matter as long as we weren't hopeless?

[amuse]

*oops!

s10cr

[emily655321]

You don't feel hopeless?

[emily655321]

:lol:

(I'm not laughing at you, I'm laughing with you. ;))

[verybaddmom]

lol...you two crack me up!

do you feel hopeless?? did you know they have treatments for that?

[emily655321]

Is hopeless allowed to file a restraining order?

[Ender]

What would hopeless file a restraining order against? Hope? Or just VBM?

[amuse]

maybe against letting it out of pandora's box?

[verybaddmom]

now why would anyone want to file a restraining order against vbm??

[Ender]

Is it so impossible to believe that someone would only want green-haired lunatics around them?

[verybaddmom]

is it possible to smack you from such a distance?

[Ender]

Do you have some sort of 350km long smacking stick?

[verybaddmom]

do you want to find out?

[Ender]

How could I say no?

[verybaddmom]

how is it that you have no idea what you are getting yourself into?

[Ender]

How can you think that I have no idea?

[verybaddmom]

dont you know that i know people that live near you?

[Ender]

Just because one of them is currently digging under his house, should I be afraid?

[verybaddmom]

have you ever been under that house?

[Ender]

Who hasn't?

[Kiwi Shelf]

Isn't under the house the basement? :lol:

[emily655321]

Has he been told he's digging locks in Panama?

[verybaddmom]

you have never seen a basement built after the house?

[emily655321]

You mean like a root cellar?

[Edzabeen]

Isn't it the same as building roof before grounds?

[emily655321]

Wouldn't it depend on whether you've already laid the cement?

[Edzabeen]

Is cement good for roofs?

[Kiwi Shelf]

Wouldn't the roof fall down if you piled cement on it?

[emily655321]

Was I talking about the roof?

[Kiwi Shelf]

Maybe someone implied you did?

[imthefoolonthehill]

what do you mean by maybe?

[emily655321]

"Implied"...or "implode"?..

[imthefoolonthehill]

what is implied?

[verybaddmom]

what is implode?

[seeker]

is Implode a place?

[verybaddmom]

**** never mind ****
not using brain cells!

[imthefoolonthehill]

when did you start using the full picture as your avatar?
