[kathycf]

Well, what do you think of this then?

On Tuesday we ordered take out Chinese food and I got the Schezuan spicy stringbeans?

[AimusSage]

You got the Schezuan spicy stringbeans?

[Nightshade]

where is my tea??

[AimusSage]

You want tea?

[Nightshade]

havent I been saying so?

[AimusSage]

what kind of tea would you like?

[Nightshade]

what kind do you have??

[AimusSage]

let me see, what would you say about some real tea like tea?

[Nightshade]

smelly or not?

[kathycf]

Smelly tea? Is that served with milk or with lemon?

[AimusSage]

don't you think that if it's served with martian cow milk it will be green tea?

[kathycf]

Do you have any idea how icky that seems? :p

[AimusSage]

Why would it be icky? Don't you know that martian cow milk is green, but otherwise tastes exactly the same as eartly cow milk?

[kathycf]

Perhaps I will have to try it in my turnip tea, eh?

[AimusSage]

Is that tea made of martian turnips or ordinary turnips?

[Nightshade]

I thought you said martians prefferd goo to turnips??

[AimusSage]

We aren't talking about desert now are we? :p

[Nightshade]

isnt smelly tea a dessert?

[AimusSage]

It is? What world are you from? :p

[Nightshade]

arent you the one who is confused?

[AimusSage]

I am? What is it that made me all confused? :confused:

[Nightshade]

the time maybe?

[kathycf]

Who wants a cookie? Chocolate chip NOT turnip, ok?

[AimusSage]

What time is it anyway? Can I have a cookie?

[kathycf]

Aren't we in different time zones?
If it is 8pm for me, isn't it much later for you? You are from the Netherlands, right?

Of course you can have a cookie, why do you think I asked if you wanted one?
:p :)

[AimusSage]

Don't you think it's 2 AM?

do you have another cookie?

[Nightshade]

did I have a first? And shouldnt you be sleepy yet??

[AimusSage]

What about you, are you sleepy yet?

[Nightshade]

what do you think??

[AimusSage]

I think? Isn't that news for me?

[kathycf]

Are you saying you don't think? Like ever?
Do you know I find that a tad unbelievable?

[thevintagepiper]

Do you think we may be attributing to his view of himself?

[AimusSage]

It is possible to view oneself? Did you know I love to learn something new each day?

[Madhuri]

Have you heard of something called introspection????

[AimusSage]

No, can you please explain? :p

[Madhuri]

Do you know there is a dictionary called wikipedia???

[thevintagepiper]

Do you think anyone wouldn't know about wikipedia?

[AimusSage]

What is wikipedia? :p

[Madhuri]

Whoever said ignorance is bliss????

[AimusSage]

Are you saying I am bliss because I am ignorant? :p

[thevintagepiper]

Wouldn't you agree with whoever it was?

[AimusSage]

Wasn't it Thomas Gray?

[Pendragon]

Geez, you have a small whirlwind touch down half-mile from the house, a micro-burst from a lightningbolt screws up your Internet connection, and would you believe I've missed two whole pages of conversation? And would you believe it's still raining? http://www.industreal.spb.ru/smiles/drown.gif

[thevintagepiper]

Wouldn't I? Don't you know I'll jump to believe anything about rain, my favorite aspect weather? Did you know it's what I miss most about life in America?

[Madhuri]

Dont you know what wikipedia is?? Why do I have to answer all the questions?? OK, jus' this once i'll tell you what it is, well, it is a creature just like millipede and centipedes :D, and it has some trillion pair of legs, that why it's called wikipedia. Is your query answered??? Ufff......

[kathycf]

Do you think we may be attributing to his view of himself?

No, because I said I did not believe him when he said he didn't think, eh? :)

I also tend to think he is trying to fool us into thinking he has only turnips for brains but I think he is smart, would not folks agree with me?

BTW, doesn't Wikipedia have a page on just about every subject under the sun?:p

[Pendragon]

Do you know, I never mind the rain, but we're not used to tornado touchdowns here in the mountains? I mean, you realize I'm 45 and this makes maybe the fourth one in all that time? And only the third lightning oriented problem I have witnessed in my entire life? Rain I love, it's some of its friends I can do without! :lol:

[kathycf]

So ... are you saying the weather is bad?
Is that an understatement on my part? :brow:


Seriously, do you know I hope you are ok?

[AimusSage]

BTW, doesn't Wikipedia have a page on just about every subject under the sun?:p
What about other galaxies, like Pegasus, Andromeda and the likes? And what of our own galaxy?

[Madhuri]

Do you know it also has a special section called Martian dictionary, and its translation too, to any language??

[AimusSage]

It is a translation device?

[Madhuri]

Do you think they could have bought this device from Martian Knives Inc.? (I hope it doesnt turn out to be like the defective horse, and make all incorrect translations)

You know I could do anything to make a day 48 hrs long???

[AimusSage]

How do you do that?

[Madhuri]

How do I know?? That's what I am trying to figure out. :D

[AimusSage]

You are saying that even though you have no idea on how to make a day 48 hours long, you do think you can do it?

[kathycf]

Is that what you think she said?
How about...I wish there was a way to make the day 48 hours long, I would do anything to achieve that goal?

Madhuri, what do you think? ;) :D

[Madhuri]

Do you think I would ever make it a wish, and let someone ruin it?? :rolleyes:

[kathycf]

Oops, are you talking about the "make a wish" game thead?

[Madhuri]

Wouldnt you agree more that all threads are becoming somewhat alike???

[thevintagepiper]

Isn't it obvious? Dp you think someday every aspect of our lives will come together like that? You know, how it does in movies?

[Pendragon]

Who knows what the lines of fate may yet converge upon? Do you know Yorick, here? http://www.industreal.spb.ru/smiles/scull.gif

[RobinHood3000]

Isn't Yorick's skull without a jaw, sir?

How farest thou, Pendragon? Isn't your position under bombardment?

http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/americas/5303188.stm

[kathycf]

Indeed, I shall join Robin in his inquiry...How farest thou, Pendragon?

[Pendragon]

Methinks I fare well, indeed, but doth either of thee have a Dragon-sized asprin? Methinks I didst quaff one too many flagons of kerosene after yon battle, or wast I in human form last night? Anyone ken?:flare:

[Madhuri]

Why doesnt time stop, even for a second???

[Pendragon]

Do you guys know that with the obit thread, birthdays, and various other amusements I have posted over 50 sonnets? And more than 100 poems and songs, including the sonnets? It staggers my mind....:idea:

[kathycf]

Is the best word to sum that up perhaps "prolific" ;)
(good for you! :) )

[Pendragon]

Is that a polite term for "too much time on my hands"? :lol: (Thank you!;) )

[kathycf]

No, no, don't you know prolific (to me anyways, for a real defintion consult
Websters ;) ) means productive?

[aeroport]

Indeed, Pen, and don't you know that "prolific" is, in fact, acronymous for: "Pendragon responds on-line (with) intelligent, freakin' interesting comments"?

[Madhuri]

Should not this be in 'Acronym Game' thread????

[AimusSage]

Don't you mean the 'meaning of words' thread?

[Madhuri]

What if I say to you that I am too lazy to check what these threads say, and I am going by their titles only????

[AimusSage]

What is it with people being lazy these days? :p

[Madhuri]

Can it be the effect of eating turnips??? I have had a dozen today. *burp* *burp*

[AimusSage]

how come I'm not lazy than?

[Madhuri]

Is it possible that eating turnips has a positive effect on you?? You obviously are obsessed with small, round in shape green coloured vegetable. I am wondering are they really green or have a purple shade????

[AimusSage]

Are they not a bit white-ish?

[Madhuri]

Really??? So, why does everyone think they are green in colour??? This is news, should be posted in 'Things we didn't know.......' thread.

[AimusSage]

Really? How come people thought turnips are green? Could they be thinking about martian turnips?

[Madhuri]

Do you think the other forum members (except me, ofcourse :rolleyes:) are green with envy of your having the maximim number of turnips?? That's why all they see is green.

[AimusSage]

How can they be green with envy? Isn't green to good a colour to spoil on envy?

[Madhuri]

Are you trying to say that the green colour in your avy is not the colour of envy?? Defending green colour..hmmm

[AimusSage]

How could you think that the colour was that of envy? Have I ever demonstrated behaviour that could indicate me having an envious nature?

[Madhuri]

If I say, it was not to be taken personally and that I was referring to the colour green, and not the person, AimusSage??? :)

[AimusSage]

Good enough :D In reference to me, don't you think green means Little Green Men?

[Madhuri]

Who are Little Green Men???

[AimusSage]

You don't know the little green men? Have you heard of the greys?

[Madhuri]

At the cost of people saying I am utterly ignorant, I would still say, No. Who are they??? :D

[AimusSage]

Can I say you are utterly ignorant? j/k;)

Are they not famous extra-terrestials?

[Madhuri]

Are you saying I have to know everything in this world??? :rolleyes:

[AimusSage]

you mean that you don't know everything? :eek:

[Nightshade]

who doesnt??

[AimusSage]

Would you believe I don't even know what everything is?

[Pendragon]

You remember where you planted your turnips, don't you? :p

[AimusSage]

But don't I only know this because I can smell their presence?

[Nightshade]

Why are you asking me?

[AimusSage]

Don't you know everything?

[kathycf]

Can the human brain only hold so much information?
Who could then thusly know everything?


Am I being too philosophical here? :p

[AimusSage]

What if you realize you know nothing at all?

[Madhuri]

Wouldn't that be great?!! Half knowledge is a little dangerous :p

[AimusSage]

How come half knowledge is dangerous?

[Nightshade]

Isnt it more dangerous??

[AimusSage]

More dangerous than what exactly?

[Nightshade]

Isnt it all realative?

[AimusSage]

Maybe, but relative to what?

[Nightshade]

Is not that the ultimate question?

[AimusSage]

if it's the ultimate question, will the answer be ultimate understanding?

[Nightshade]

could it be 44??

[AimusSage]

Could this thread be part of the hitchhikers guide to the galaxy?

[Madhuri]

Should'nt you know better??? You have been to all wierd places, in and outside the planet :D

[Nightshade]

have we???

[AimusSage]

Who said Mars is a weird place?

[Madhuri]

Why aren't you both playing in the Make a Movie thread???

[Nightshade]

Aren't we? Maybe we are waiting for a reply from the other side of the plot?
What shall we do?

[AimusSage]

Can't you make a feature film instead?

[Madhuri]

Do you want a role in that film??? Are you ready for a lot of leg pulling???

[AimusSage]

Can I be the one to pull the leg?

[Madhuri]

Who would that be???

[AimusSage]

who would who be?

[Madhuri]

Was it that vague??? Ofcourse the one whose leg would be pulled :rolleyes: You have already decided your role.

[AimusSage]

Isn't that up to the scriptwriter?

[Nightshade]

Doesnt it depend onn the director?
What will my part be?

[Madhuri]

Dont you want to play the lead role? That's what big stars always do :D

[AimusSage]

Yes, can you please star opposite of me? It'll be fun :D

[Nightshade]

Are the venusians coming?

[Madhuri]

Do you want the movie to bomb at box-office???? I know I am a big star and I might pull out of the embarassment, but I am afraid it will be a strong blow for you...:lol: :D

[AimusSage]

Aren't venusians to kinky for these movies? Don't you think it'll get an R rating if they are in it? :eek:

[Nightshade]

again what role am I playing?

[AimusSage]

Don't you think you'll find out when the movie is released?

[Madhuri]

What is the name of the movie????

[Nightshade]

Am I going to like it?

[AimusSage]

Aren't you supposed to come up with a fitting name Madhuri?

[Nightshade]

why are you ignoring me??

[Madhuri]

Am I supposed to know everything and now do everything?? :rolleyes: Well, I have decided my role, i'll jus' sit and relax on the sets and have coffee :p

[AimusSage]

Aren't you the director?

Who am I ignoring? How am I supposed to know you are going to like it? :confused:

[Madhuri]

How can you ignore the leading lady (Night) of the movie??

[AimusSage]

But how am I ignoring her? aren't I just waiting for the film to be released?

[thevintagepiper]

Couldn't you send her a card or something?

[AimusSage]

what kind of card?

[Nightshade]

Oh yes what kind of card? I collect cards, did you know that?
do they make smilie cards?

[AimusSage]

have you checked the hallmark site?

[Nightshade]

which sign?


:D

[AimusSage]

they have signs there?

[Nightshade]

Did I say sign when I ment site?

[AimusSage]

So you are looking for signs that point you into the direction of the site right?

[Nightshade]

Is tha what I mean??

[AimusSage]

I don't know, why don't you tell me what you meant? Don't you know it's all very confusing for me?

[Madhuri]

Why dont you relax Aimus? It must have been a very tiring day, taking all the revenge on the movie makers :p :D

[AimusSage]

how does one relax?

[kathycf]

How does one relax?
Can one not settle into a comfortable chair, put their feet up and enjoy a delicious beverage?

Does that sound relaxing?

[AimusSage]

Isn't that what I'm doing right now? How come I'm not relaxed yet?

[kathycf]

How is that MY problem? ;) :p
You know that is a joke, right?

Maybe you are too involved in your moviemaking to relax?

[AimusSage]

yeah, could there be something brooding beneath the surface? :eek:

[kathycf]

Do you want my opinion? ;)

[AimusSage]

Will you share it with me? :)

[kathycf]

Am I not famous for sharing my opinion, whether it is wanted or not?

[Pendragon]

Is this a trick question?

[AimusSage]

What do you think is brooding beneath the surface?

[kathycf]

A veritable school of turnip fish in a sea of turmoil?

[AimusSage]

are you a mind reader?

[kathycf]

Isn't that for me to know and for you to find out? :brow: :p

[Madhuri]

Are we devising another plot for the next movie???

[kathycf]

Would you like to?

[thevintagepiper]

Sure, why not? After all, isn't the planning all the fun?

[kathycf]

Ok, then...what do you think we should do first?

[thevintagepiper]

No, what do you think?

[kathycf]

Are you answering a question with a question? ;)
But then, isn't that the fate of all who post in this thread?

[thevintagepiper]

Did you know I used to use that on my parents all the time?
"Didn't I just say I don't know?"
"I know, but what do you THINK?"
"How many times do I have to say it...?"
"No, no, no, what do YOU THINK?"

But then, am I not still stuck on that terribly silly habit?

[Madhuri]

Do you have more silly habits like these??? :p

[AimusSage]

what so silly about the habbit?

[Madhuri]

Am I doing a thesis on silly habits???? :D

[AimusSage]

Maybe you know an expert in silly habits you can interview for you thesis?

[Madhuri]

Will you be my subject then??? :p

[AimusSage]

I don't have that many silly habits now do I? :)

[Madhuri]

That is what the interview will be all about, dont you think so? To find out if they are silly or not :p And I guess you have silly habits in tons, and that you would make an interesting interviewee. :D

[AimusSage]

why don't you start asking your questions?

[Madhuri]

What will be the mode of interview??

[AimusSage]

Wouldn't that be questions and more questions?

[Madhuri]

OK, here we go:

Q1: what is your first silly habit?
Q2: What is your second silly habit?
Q3: What is your third silly habit?

this will go on untill all the habits are told. :D

Do you approve of this pattern? :D

:lol: :lol: :lol:

[AimusSage]

how can I know what my first silly habit is when I do not know what constitutes a silly habit?

[Pendragon]

The man is obsessed with turnips and he has no idea what a "silly habit" is? Do you also have ocean-front property for sale in Colorado? http://www.cosgan.de/images/more/bigs/a102.gif

[AimusSage]

what's so silly about ocean-front property in colorado? Doesn't it only need to have a sign that says 'here be ocean' next to it?

[Pendragon]

Is it all right, your Honor, if I say "I rest my case."? :lol:

[AimusSage]

Would you still think it silly if I told you there are people that pay good money for the property, because it's ocean fronted?

[Madhuri]

Why do we need to put signs for something very obvious?? :rolleyes: Is an ocean too small for anyone to see, that they need signs for them to know that is an ocean?? :lol:

[Pendragon]

You do know Colorado is in the interior of the USA and totally landlocked, don't you, Maddie? :D

[AimusSage]

Some people looking for property in colorado don't seem to realize that, why else would I be able to sell the property?

[Madhuri]

What if I say I dont know??? Will I be hanged for my ignorance?? :D

[AimusSage]

are you perhaps interested in buying ocean-front property? It's a real bargain!

[Pendragon]

Why would we hang someone for not being aware of the fact? Doesn't it seem more just to hang the one who's trying to take advantage of the fact that some people are unaware that Colorado doesn't border the ocean? :idea:

[Madhuri]

If I say I totally agree with you?? And that if not hanged he should atleast be taught some lesson, for taking advantage of someone living in a different time zone. :D

[Pendragon]

Would you suggest caning? Say, six strokes?

[Madhuri]

:lol:
Well, how about hanging him upside down, for a whole day atleast? :lol:

[AimusSage]

Isn't caning in violation of the geneva convention? :eek:

[Madhuri]

...............................How????

[kathycf]

Canings, oceanfront property in Colorado, hmmm do you know this sounds very intriguing?

[AimusSage]

do you know if the people that buy ocean front property in colorado like caning?

[Madhuri]

Why do I feel as if I really dont know what's what in this world?? :redface: :confused:

[kathycf]

Why don't you blame that on Aimus? Isn't confusing people right up his alley?

:P ;)

Aim, I believe that the people who go to Colorado for ocean front property may just like caning, hmm?

[AimusSage]

Now why do you think confusing people is right up my alley? Don't you know I don't sell real estate situated near alleys?

[kathycf]

But aren't you the type one should not meet in a dark alley?

[Pendragon]

Isn't caning in violation of the geneva convention? :eek:Didn't you get the memo? http://www.industreal.spb.ru/smiles/expert.gif

[AimusSage]

There is going to be a fifth convention?

Kathy, are you saying I'm dangerous? Would you believe me if I told you you'd much rather meet me in a dark alley than a well lit one? :nod:

[Madhuri]

Aren't you the dreaded Interrogator General?

[AimusSage]

You think I interrogate people in dark alleys? Why would I do that?

[Madhuri]

Are you saying you have no idea what your role and responsibility is as an Interrogator General?

[AimusSage]

Since when does being Interrogator General involve me interrogating people in dark alleys? Or are you trying to say you want to be interrogated?

[Madhuri]

How do I know about your work?? Maybe you do it :D and No, I dont want to be interrogated by you, what if you interrogate me in a dark alley? *shudders* :lol:

[AimusSage]

Who knows what'll happen in a dark alley? :goof: Don't you think I would at least have to bring a flashlight if I were to interrogate you in a dark alley? How else would I read the questions I wrote down? :nod:

[Madhuri]

You have to write down questions? Dont you know them by heart? :rolleyes:

[AimusSage]

Why else would I bring a flashlight to our rendezvous in the dark alley? :p

[kathycf]

What about our rendezvous Aimus??!
Have you forgotten already, you cad??!
Don't you remember it was your turn to bring the turnips? :bawling:

:p :brow: ;)

[AimusSage]

How could I forget? :D
Wasn't it tomorrow though at the semi dark alley? :nod:
and uh, was it really my turn to bring the turnips? :blush:

[RobinHood3000]

What about our rendezvous Aimus??!
Have you forgotten already, you cad??!
Don't you remember it was your turn to bring the turnips? :bawling:

:p :brow: ;)YOUR rendezvous?? What about OUR rendezvous?? :brow:

[Madhuri]

Can I supply snacks for your meeting? :D

[AimusSage]

What of our meeting? Are you providing the snacks for that one too? :) :p

[Madhuri]

Oh, you mean for our meeting at the Ritz?? :D

[AimusSage]

What other meeting could I be referring too? :)

[Madhuri]

So, you believe I supply snacks to the Ritz? :lol:

[AimusSage]

Well, do you?
Isn't the Ritz a fancy hotel for our meetings? :p

[Madhuri]

If I say yes, then would you come and try??? And so far as our meeting is concerned, I should let you know that I dine only at the Ritz. :p

[AimusSage]

Okay, I'll dine with you if you want me to, but you are paying for the dinner right? :)

[Madhuri]

Okay, but will you be willing to come down to India and build the Ritz? And then sure we'll dine. :D :p

On a seconds thought, the dark alley was not such a bad idea. :p

[AimusSage]

Why don't you come to London or Paris? Don't you think that is far easier than building a whole new Ritz first? :)

[Madhuri]

Is that the only idea you have? Besides, London and Paris are far too below my standards :p

[AimusSage]

Are you saying I must raise my standards to meet yours? Don't you think that's asking a bit much? :D

[Madhuri]

Well, I am not asking for it, these are some mandatory requirements, that have to be filfilled. :D What possible problems will you face?? I dont see any. :p OK lets put it this way, if I cant have bread I would like to have a cake. :D :p

[AimusSage]

Mandatory? You do know you are pushing it right? :p What if I just pretend you didn't say that? :)

And what of the cake, haven't you heard that eating cake instead of bread is unhealty? :nod:

[Madhuri]

Are you saying you wouldn't mind missing this golden opportunity?

[AimusSage]

Don't you think setting requirements for someone just for having dinner is a little strange? :p

[Madhuri]

If I say I own the Ritz, ;) will you still mind these requirements?? :)

[AimusSage]

How does owning the ritz make a difference? Do I even know what your mandatory requirements are?

[Madhuri]

Owning the Ritz doesnt make any difference? :goof: Is it not obvious that there is a lot of difference in owning and just dining? :rolleyes: Does it not mean that now there is no need for any requirements to be mandatory?

[adilyoussef]

Which mandatory?

[AimusSage]

Are you saying we should just walk in, dine, and walk out again without paying?

[Madhuri]

Dont I own the hotel?? :)

[AimusSage]

Doesn't that mean less profit for you?

[Sarka]

...Who's on first??
:p
:argue:

[AimusSage]

Who's on first with what?

[kathycf]

Did somebody mention cake???????

[AimusSage]

Wasn't it just bread disguised as cake?

[kathycf]

Can it have frosting on it anyway?

[AimusSage]

Isn't frosting on bread unhealthy?

[DarkMagician]

How can bread be unhealthy?

[RJbibliophil]

Couldn't even bread contain too many fats, sugars, and artificial ingredients?

[kathycf]

Maybe instead of bread, we should have tofu with chocolate frosting? :p

[Pendragon]

Tofu with chocolate frosting? :sick: Do you find the "dry heaves" amusing?

[kathycf]

How does an order of turnips and tofu grab you? Hungry? ;)

[Pendragon]

Do you know I have never knowingly eaten tofu? What's it taste like?
