Questions Only

[imthefoolonthehill]

... just realized you will only give me a question... so instant message me or something.

[nome1486]

what do you care?

[imthefoolonthehill]

you got a problem?

[nome1486]

what do you think?

[imthefoolonthehill]

what are you assuming in that question?

[nome1486]

what do you assume I'm assuming?

[nome1486]

for that matter, which question are you referring to?

[verybaddmom]

what is wrong with you guys?

[Kiwi Shelf]

They are guys, aren't they? Enough said. ;)

[nome1486]

(I'm not, but I was just kidding anyway...hope fool took it that way, as it's really hard to convey attitude/meaning in a single question! :) Maybe I'll just change the subject...)

so, how 'bout them Chiefs? (local sports team)

[Kiwi Shelf]

What sport?

[nome1486]

do you like American football ;)?

[Kiwi Shelf]

Do I look like an American? :)

[nome1486]

:lol: Do you like hockey, then?

[verybaddmom]

do you really buy into that whole stereotype of Canadians being obsessed with hockey?
do you think we all live in igloos too? ;)

[Ender]

We don't? Oh god, is my house melting?

[Kiwi Shelf]

Isn't assuming Canadians live in igloos like assuming Egyptians live in pyramids?
Oh, and is it weird for a Canadian to like baseball more than hockey? (esp the Jays)

[verybaddmom]

isnt that like saying that an American is weird because she is not patriotic, or that a Scot is weird cause he doesnt drink scotch and eat porridge?

[Kiwi Shelf]

There are such thing as unpartriotic Americans? :confused:

:lol:

[verybaddmom]

you have never heard of Michael Moore?

[Kiwi Shelf]

Who hasn't?

[verybaddmom]

how do you feel about his films?

[Kiwi Shelf]

isn't everyone entitled to their opinion?

[Greyangel]

What kind of opinion?

(hey, sorry for butting in...I love this game, though I'm out of ideas.....Just saying hi, I'm new around here. :D )

[verybaddmom]

dont you have an opinion?

welcome btw. hope you enjoy. and jumping right in is the name of the game. dont wait to be invited. there is a universal invitation. anyone anytime anything on the forum. to borrow a phrase, "just do it"

[Kiwi Shelf]

Does commenting on everything not mean I am opinionated?

[verybaddmom]

so what is your opinion then?

[Kiwi Shelf]

How do you pose your opinion in a question form?

[verybaddmom]

what is your opinion about? maybe i can help?

[Kiwi Shelf]

Oh, wait, you can just say: Do you agree that Michael Moore's films are very one-sided?

[verybaddmom]

you could, but do you believe that??
can we have a debate using only questions?
or do you think that would challenge even our skills?

[Kiwi Shelf]

Doesn't everyone love a challenge?

[nome1486]

Maybe you could just tack a question mark at the end of every sentence, like this?

[verybaddmom]

we could do that?

[nome1486]

why not? who's going to stop us? *evil look, rubs hands maliciously*

[Kiwi Shelf]

Does anyone have the guts to stop anyone?

[imthefoolonthehill]

will this never end?

[verybaddmom]

do you think if you left it alone, it would just go away?

[durga]

Will it not end when the world ends?

[Taliesin]

Is it well-known data that this thing is absolutely indestructable?

[Scheherazade]

Do you want to it to be destructed?

[Taliesin]

Does the word NO impart my thoughts on this idea efficently enough?

[Scheherazade]

Do you really want me to answer that?

[Anselmus]

What're we talking about? ;)

[baddad]

what are we talking about? What are we talking about? Doesn't anyone pay attention? Are we not sentient beings, smart enough to figure out what we are saying? Do we not feel the pain, the anguish, the complete and horrific misery of those poorest? Can we help these wretched? Do we dare? Do we care. Are questions enough? Are answers suffecient? Will I run out of question marks? Do I care?......

[imthefoolonthehill]

Do I bow or applaud?

[Jay]

Why couldn't you do both?

[Helga]

why should I when one is enough?

[Scheherazade]

Wouldn't you like to do both?

[mono]

To be, or not to be? :confused:

[kilted exile]

Is that the question?

[Scheherazade]

Don't you think it is?

[imthefoolonthehill]

Who is JOhn Galt?

[baddad]

Is John Galt a character from, 'Atlas Shrugged", a novel by Ann Ryann? (sp?)

[Stanislaw]

Who be this ann Ryan, one o' yer landlubbin book lubbin scury dawgs??? :D

[Psyche]

Has anyone ever had the self control (witout being a participant in a study of any sort) to take the ultimate test of the commercial owl and NOT bite into the Tootsie Pop, but instead count the licks it takes until they get to the center?

[mono]

Did you ever consult Mr. Turtle on the commercials, who wore large eyeglasses?

[Psyche]

How could I trust what he said if he had such bad vision?

[mono]

Did not you know that some of the wisest thrive blind or hard of seeing, like John Milton and Tiresias?

[Psyche]

true, but don't you think that blindly licking could possibly get one in trouble?

[Jay]

Are they licking something poisonous?

[imthefoolonthehill]

What does it taste like?

[Jay]

Why don't you try for yourself? :p

[mono]

By not trying for yourself, do you fear mystery?

[baddad]

Ya like mystery?? Jump out of a plane at 5-10,000 ft., then ask, as I'm sure so many of us often do whilst in the midst of licking something, "Why did I just do that?"

[Jay]

Are you sure the first thing you'd ask yourself wouldn't be 'The backpack I'm wearing, it IS the parachute, isn't it?' :p

[mono]

Or would you ask yourself: "does the parachute carry me, or do I carry the parachute?" :D

[Scheherazade]

Would I have time to ask myself all these questions while freefalling to earth???

[Molko]

Whilst freefalling earth, wouldnt the most appropriate question be "is this parachute going to open? And where will I land?"

[Psyche]

If I land in the ocean, will I be able to swim to shore?

[Molko]

Will I be able to avoid sharks swimming to shore? :D

[Psyche]

Isn't this the most appropriate time to have the theme from "Jaws" playing in my head?

[Scheherazade]

How did we end up in the ocean??

[mono]

While abandoned in the ocean, should not we contact Stan somehow, he being a pirate? But would not we catch scurvy, flying the Jolly Roger, using stumps for legs, hooks for hands, and patches for eyes?
:D

[Psyche]

Since you always say the word "scurvy" with that cute little pirate accent, would catching it and hearing you say the word even MORE really be so bad?

[mono]

Do ye imply that scuuuurvy is pleasant?

[Psyche]

Wouldn't you find scurvy more bearable with the added element of cuteness?

[mono]

Would not one require a specifically creative and aesthetic mind (or, a synonym, "psyche") to a cuteness in vitamin C deficiencies?

[Helga]

does anyone know what they have been talking about?

[lhaeber]

No, but it has a nice train of thought, sharks, scurvy, vitamin c deficiency...

[baddad]

AARRRR Matey, Tis not me band o' scurvy dogs ya' should be worryin' aboot', but tis why sharks don't be catchin scurvy????

[lhaeber]

Are you supposed to be piratey or Chretieny? It's a good imitation of both!

[baddad]

Are you supposed to be piratey or Chretieny? It's a good imitation of both!

Yeah, my pirate voice may leave a lot to be desired, but just shoot me if you catch me trying to imitate a POLITICIAN!!!!!

Thank you.

Question: So, scurvy is a vitamin C defeciency, but why don't sharks get scurvy, or dogs, or cats?

[Scheherazade]

Do you think sharks/dogs/cats are deficient in vitamin C?

[Jay]

Huh? Do I think? :lol:

[baddad]

I do not think................

.......but I wonder where a shark (in particular) would get his fruits and veggies???

[Scheherazade]

Could they be getting those delivered from the nearest ASDA?

[Jay]

Any suggestion where my nearest ASDA shall be? :D (or what an ASDA is for the matter... feeling too lazy to google it :angel: )

[Psyche]

If Google failed to produce an answer, does that mean the internet is broken?

[shortysweetp]

does google answer all?

[mono]

Have you ever wondered, what does 'google' mean anyway? :confused:

[baddad]

Google, the necromancer of our era, the Merlin of the internet, all powerful, always ready with an answer.........a beard of many coloured wires and eyes that byte at those unwilling to believe the true nature and expansive intrusion of the net into our lives.... (place evil, echoing laugh here....)

[Taliesin]

Are we correct when we claim that google means a number that is equal with 10 on the hundreth grade? (with that we mean 10*10*10*10.....*10 where there are a hundred tens)

[mono]

That sounds right, as I think I remember hearing that fact elsewhere, Taliesin . . . umm, oh yeah, questions only . . . right?

[Scheherazade]

Who knows what is right and what is wrong?

[mono]

Do you imply that objectivity exists?

[Psyche]

Do you imply that you exist?

[baddad]

By implying that I exist am I thereby refuting any claim of objectivity, and do I also assume that others must exist as well and that they have no stronger claim on objectivity than I?

[Scheherazade]

Do you want to exist?

[Miss Darcy]

Do we really exist or is life an illusion?

[Jay]

Are you sure you want to know the answer to that?

[shortysweetp]

are you sure you want to exist?

[Jay]

Or even pretend you do?

[mono]

Does not it sound strange that we question our 'existence' by speaking?

[Jay]

Are we even speaking? (cos I can't hear you ;))

[Psyche]

Does it require sound to make speech?

[mono]

Does it require speech to make sound?
:D

[Jay]

Does it require two to tango? :p

[Shea]

:lol: Do you have to ask?

[Scheherazade]

Do you want to answer?

[Helga]

Do you have a clue?

[Miss Darcy]

Are you not the great Mr Sherlock Holmes? ;)

[imthefoolonthehill]

wasn't sherlock a doctor?

[Jay]

Doctor of what?

[Koa]

How can you be sure that he's really a doctor anyway?

[imthefoolonthehill]

what time is it?

[papayahed]

In which time zone?

[imthefoolonthehill]

why not all of them?

[Koa]

why not only one?

[imthefoolonthehill]

why not neither nor the algorithmic neccessity of both when we go away?

[Veritas]

Can the algorithm median be cut instead of going away?

[Scheherazade]

Is this thread dead? :p

[Jay]

Does it seem as if it were dead? :p

[mono]

Does not it seem a strange thought and effort to type into something dead? :p

[Jay]

Does it not sound strange to "type into something dead"? :D:p

[Snukes]

Would to "type into something dead" have anything to do with roadkill...?

[Loki]

Why has nobody responded to this thread for so long? - Since yesterday, that is...:p

[kilted exile]

How often should this thread be responded to?

[Jay]

How often would be often enough?

[Bandini]

What is enough?

[Jay]

Could it be that enough is the amount of something you can take until you feel like screaming if you're given (experiencing...) it once again?

[mono]

So, seriously, how many licks does it take to get to the center of a Tootsie Pop? :confused:

[Loki]

How would the environmental temperature affect that?

[Snukes]

Maybe by being *so* hot the poor tootsiepop was reduced to viscous goo?

[baddad]

Do I still have to lick my viscuous goo, or can I slurp down my tootsie till I reach the centre of its being?

[Jay]

What is a centre of a being?

[Miss Darcy]

What is the centre of a soul?

[mono]

Do being and soul necessarily have centers, or do they comprise of immaterial? :confused:

[Jay]

Is there anything necessary about (in?) anything?

[Snukes]

Hadn't we better resolve this preposition problem before going too deep?

[mono]

Or how shallow seems 'too' deep? ;)

[Snukes]

How about deep enough to drown a toad?

[Jay]

And that would be... how deep exactly? :p

[Knower]

How do you define deep?

[kilted exile]

Is it possible to drown a toad?

[Scheherazade]

Why do you want to drown the poor toad?

[kilted exile]

Would it not be useful to have another measurement of depth, eg instead of ten thousand leagues under the sea we could have x number of TD's(toad drownings) ?

[Snukes]

Do you really want to upset the entire world of measurements as we know it??

[Jay]

Wouldn't it be fun if no one knew what one another is talking about?

[Snukes]

Huh... doesn't that sound kinda familiar...?

[Shimbry]

You mean familiar like Aunt Mathilda's perfume, or familiar like suspicious?

[Snukes]

Why - do you think I smell like your Aunt Mathilda?

[Jay]

If so, would it be the nice kind of 'smell' or the smelly yucky kinda 'smell'?

[mono]

What scent retains its good smell with too much exposure anyway?

[Miss Darcy]

Is there a perfume that will never melt away?

[Jay]

Is inventing that kind of parfume a good thing?

[Miss Darcy]

How can you question that?

[papayahed]

Will it smell good?

[Rachy]

What do you think?

[Jay]

You sure you want to know what I think?

[Nightshade]

Do you really have to ask?

[GruesomeBugman]

is there any reason not to ask?

[Miss Darcy]

Do you think there is?

[Jay]

Why should there be a reason?

[atiguhya padma]

Is this a question?

[Rachy]

What are you talking about?

[Jay]

You're still sure you want to know? :p

[Rachy]

Do you think I would ask if I didn't?

[GruesomeBugman]

are you trying to be sly?

[Bongitybongbong]

Are you being someone you are not?

[GruesomeBugman]

why, who do you think I am?

[Bongitybongbong]

Are you playing games with a Sith?

[GruesomeBugman]

do you think I'm playing games?

[Monica]

What games are you playing?

[Jay]

Are they dangerous?

[Bongitybongbong]

Where we playing Monopoly?

[Nightshade]

Why do you want to know that?

[GruesomeBugman]

why shouldn't he?

[Jay]

What would that piece of info help with?

[GruesomeBugman]

what wouldn't it help with?

[Bongitybongbong]

Where was I when Monopoly was taking place? (I love Monopoly.)

[Loki]

Don't you know that?

[Bongitybongbong]

Should I find out?

[Jay]

Are you sure you can handle the answer?

[Loki]

Don't you think he'd be able to?

[Bongitybongbong]

Do you think I am lost?

[Loki]

Do you think I think you are?

[Miss Darcy]

Do you think I'm following this?

[Jay]

Do you really need to ask? :p

[Bongitybongbong]

Are you kidding me?

[Koa]

Why shouldn't I?

[Bongitybongbong]

Where is this conversation going?

[kilted exile]

Do you think we should put a tracking device on it to find out?

[Miss Darcy]

Aren't tracking devices for wild animals?

[Monica]

Should I answer?

[Bongitybongbong]

Should I decide?

[Monica]

Can you decide?

[Bongitybongbong]

Will I decide?

[Monica]

Would you decide if you could? :D

[Jay]

Would you? :p

[Nightshade]

how would you decide??

:D :lol:

[Bongitybongbong]

Would I use a coin to decide?

[GruesomeBugman]

would that qualify as a good idea?

[Bongitybongbong]

Why wouldn't it?

[Loki]

Does anybody think there is any good reason why not?

[Jay]

Does anybody think? :p

[Nightshade]

why would anyone want to?

[Jay]

You don't know?

[Nightshade]

Do you?
laaaaaaaaaaa

[GruesomeBugman]

why are you avoiding the question?

[Monica]

Am I?........

[Bongitybongbong]

Is there real freedom?

[Jay]

What is a real freedom anyway?

[Loki]

How should I know?

[Miss Darcy]

Whom are you asking?

[Nightshade]

how should I know?

[Bongitybongbong]

Why should I try?

[Nightshade]

are you going to play the dramatic rendering in action or not??

[Loki]

Has everyone forgotten the existence of the other Dramatic Rendering?

[Bongitybongbong]

Why is this so cool?

[Loki]

Why shouldn't it be?

[Nightshade]

What are you talking about???

[Bongitybongbong]

Why should it be so weird?

[snehil]

it's a game.dont u think it should be wierd? :brow:

[Monica]

What do you mean by weird?

[Rachy]

What do you think they mean?

[Miss Darcy]

What does everybody else think?

[shortysweetp]

why do we care what everybody else thinks?

[Miss Darcy]

Do we care?

[snehil]

don't we care.................sometimes?

[Helga]

should we care?

[Monica]

Does it matter if we care or not?

[CheshireCat87]

who said it did?

[Bianca Fransen]

Should someone remind us that another person said we should care? :brow:

[CheshireCat87]

what are we talking about? and where did my pants go?

[shortysweetp]

what does it matter who said that we should care, since we dont care?

[Bianca Fransen]

Why don't we care? And by the way - where did your pants go?

[Monica]

So I'm without pants??? :goof: :D :lol:

[mono]

Does anyone else find it strange how many synonyms for 'pants' exist?

[shortysweetp]

what is this about pants?

[Miss Darcy]

Can you forgive me for not following this? (I've been away :D)

[NNoah3]

Where have you been?

[shortysweetp]

What has happened here?

[GruesomeBugman]

I finally getting around to posting and people are without their pants-- what did I miss?

[Bianca Fransen]

Why did it take a while for you to post?

[shortysweetp]

really, what have you been doing, to be too busy for posting?

[Bianca Fransen]

Have you been busy?

[shortysweetp]

what could be more important than posting?

[Adelheid]

What Can't be more important than eating?

[Loki]

What can be more important than pants? :p
