Questions Only

[ajoe]

This is a game from "Whose Line Is It Anyway?" if any of you watches it. Anyway, the rule is very simple. You just respond to a question not with an answer, but with another question. I'd provide an example, but my brain is currently malfunctioning due to sleep deprivation and I can't really think.

First Question:
Why is the glass half empty?

[papayahed]

What glass?

[Jay]

You mean that one I've left in the bedroom?

[Shea]

Which bedroom?

[emily655321]

(Ohmygod I love this game! It makes me laugh till I can't breathe. :D)

How many bedrooms do you have?

[Koa]

How many do you think I have?
:D

[GapingStarling]

How many of what?

[Koa]

What are you talking about?

[amuse]

why do you want to know?

[Jay]

Why do I want to know what?

[Koa]

What do you want?

(...must....stop...posting....)

[ajoe]

Can't you read my mind?

[papayahed]

What mind? (sorry, I couldn't help myself)

[ajoe]

Are you saying I look like Homer Simpson?

[story645]

Who is Homer Simpson?

[ajoe]

Have you been living in a box?

[Shea]

How big is the box?

[GapingStarling]

Who wants to know?

[IWilKikU]

Is this game supposed to be a little more fun than this? :(

[verybaddmom]

you arent laughing at our stupidity yet?

[ajoe]

Who's to judge which is stupid and which is not?

[dhm]

does anybody else get confused because these question threads are so similar?

[ravana]

Where exactly are they similar?

[simon]

Are you referring to the fact that none of the threads stay on topic?

[verybaddmom]

what is a topic?

[verybaddmom]

is a topic important?

[simon]

Why do you post two question in a row?

[simon]

Why shouldn't I post two also?

[verybaddmom]

am i allowed to laugh out loud now?

[simon]

Would you rather cry over the sadness of multiple postings?

[verybaddmom]

why are we the only ones here?

[verybaddmom]

do you think we need to find lives?

[simon]

Who needs a life when we have eachother?

[verybaddmom]

do we have each other?

[verybaddmom]

why did i not know that?

[Jay]

Because if you knew you wouldn't have asked?

[verybaddmom]

isnt that a strangely worded question?

[Jay]

Maybe my grammar just sucks? ;)

[verybaddmom]

doesnt everyone's?

[verybaddmom]

anyhow, who cares?

[papayahed]

Why wouldn't I care?

[verybaddmom]

should we care more?

[simon]

What would we have without caring?

[emily655321]

How much can bears really care about when they're on acid all the time and live in the clouds?

[simon]

How much acid did they take?

[simon]

For that matter what were the clouds shaped like?

[emily655321]

Would it be too ambiguous to say "a lot" and "like this?"

[IWilKikU]

blahh! Not fun :mad:

[ajoe]

<<< IWilKikU, I will make this up by introducing another game that is more fun (stolen from another board) soon enough! :cool:>>>

[verybaddmom]

why are you guys not following the thread?

[verybaddmom]

dont you find this amusing?

[simon]

Isn't it more sad than amusing?

[simon]

Isn't this second post even sadder?

[papayahed]

Why is it sad?

[Shea]

Why do raindrops make you sad?

[verybaddmom]

why do raindrops make me wet?

[emily655321]

why won't Kik just lead by example instead of complaining?

[Shea]

Why do we voice our opinions?

[verybaddmom]

who has an opinion?

[Shea]

who's voice do I hear?

[verybaddmom]

who would you like to hear?
will i do?

[Shea]

will you do what? :p

[emily655321]

will you pay me to do it?

[Shea]

will you take money?

[emily655321]

how much money?

[simon]

What currency is this money in?

[emily655321]

What's the exchange rate?

[verybaddmom]

who cares?

[verybaddmom]

where is the nearest currency exchange?

[Shea]

Does a monkey care?

[verybaddmom]

are you calling me a monkey?

[emily655321]

do you like being called a monkey?

[verybaddmom]

would you like being called a monkey?

[verybaddmom]

is it really a flattering assesment?

[emily655321]

how pretty a monkey?

[GapingStarling]

what is the measure of monkey-attractiveness?

[Shea]

does the monkey have to wear a dress?

[Koa]

(wow i missed 6 pages of game! :D but the nice thing is that you dont need to follow...i think...)

And will the dress have to be red?

[papayahed]

Will garters be worn?

[amuse]

is that a request?

[Shea]

do you request monkey garters?

[verybaddmom]

isnt that disturbing?

[story645]

Why would someone be disturbed by it?

[amuse]

isn't someone always disturbed?

[emily655321]

isn't it always the same person?

[amuse]

lol
*so tempted to ask a random fictional someone/self, but that would create mass confusion, wouldn't it :D*

have you met this person?

[emily655321]

LOL@az Yeah I've been there. :p

have you bathed this person?

[amuse]

he loves me, he loves me not; have i, have i not?

[emily655321]

Well, have I?

[amuse]

you over there: has she?
*oh dear, did it*

[emily655321]

Don't we need a third person for this? :D

[amuse]

should we invite that person to join in? :D

[emily655321]

You mean they're not already here?

[verybaddmom]

who's not there?

[emily655321]

(hi VB! :D *waves*)

How can you tell, if they aren't here?

[verybaddmom]

do they make any noise?

[emily655321]

Does it sound like squelching kumquats?

[ajoe]

Am I supposed to know how squelching kumquats sound like?

[verybaddmom]

what do squelching kumquats sound like?

[Shea]

what's a kumquat? (no, really)

[verybaddmom]

isnt a kumquat a tropical fruit?

[verybaddmom]

doesnt it have a funny name?

[Shea]

Does it taste as funny as it sounds?

[verybaddmom]

isnt taste a subjective thing?

[Shea]

why should taste be subjective?

[verybaddmom]

dont some people eat "bloodwurst"?

[Shea]

<<ok, sorry I have to go now, bye! :)>>

[GapingStarling]

Eew, who would eat something called bloodwurst? :)

[verybaddmom]

who can account for some people's children?

[GapingStarling]

How many children should we be counting?

[verybaddmom]

if we dont count them, will they go quietly away?

[GapingStarling]

Where do you suppose they would go?

[verybaddmom]

is there an abyss?

ooohhh. see why i am a badmom?

[papayahed]

Am I in the abyss?

[Koa]

How deep is the abyss?

[verybaddmom]

isnt an abyss an abyss?

[verybaddmom]

does it matter how deep it is?

[Koa]

Does anything matter?

[Jay]

Why should it matter?

[emily655321]

Why should what matter?

[Koa]

Why should I even care?

[emily655321]

Hasn't this question been asked before?

[Koa]

What hasn't been asked before?

[emily655321]

Have I told you lately that I love you?

[ajoe]

Do I even want to be loved?

[ajoe]

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

[emily655321]

AGREED! :D That is...

Is love selfless or a means to a reward?

[random_hero]

Can a human even be selfless?

[emily655321]

Can a selfless be human?

(And could I dig your avatar more? :D)

[ajoe]

If a human is selfless how can they be alive?

[emily655321]

But if dead humans are selfless, why do corpses take up more room?

[random_hero]

Is self determined by life or conciousness?

[emily655321]

Is life determined by the presence of self?

[amuse]

is life determined?

[ravana]

If life isn't then what's exactly determined?

[ajoe]

Is that a trick question?

[emily655321]

can questions be tricked?

[amuse]

*shuts up

[emily655321]

Will I ever be able to stop laughing now? :D

[random_hero]

Cant I just get ONE word in edgewise?

[emily655321]

How big is the word?

[random_hero]

<...O..........................................O...>
<.......O....................................O.....>
<...........O..............................O.......>
<...............O........................O.........>
<...................O..................O...........>
<.......................O............O.............>
<...........................O......O...............>
<...............................OO.................>
<.............................O......O.............>
<...........................O............O.........>
<.........................O..................O.....>

Is that big enough for you?

[emily655321]

But does it really constitute a word?

[random_hero]

What language do you speak?

[emily655321]

How do you know I speak a language?

[random_hero]

Well you are typing arent you?

[emily655321]

Can you see me typing?

[random_hero]

What made ou bring that crap up again?

[emily655321]

How do you know I'm not dictating by hand gesture?

*almost suffocates trying to suppress a Dead Ringers/Tony Blair quote* :D

[random_hero]

What does dead ringers have to do with dictating by hand gestures? Did you think maybe that I have only seen two episodes?

[emily655321]

Is it legal to only see two? :D

[verybaddmom]

does anyone care if it is legal?

[ajoe]

Speaking of legal, is this game legal in this forum? (Seeing the players revolve only around the same three/four people :D)

[verybaddmom]

is it my fault if no one else wants to play with me?

*sniff sniff*

[amuse]

*shuts up
:D

[amuse]

do you play online games, btw?
*i just started playing online boggle; some days are great, some are well, the pits.

[verybaddmom]

i havent started yet. i worry though, with my addictive personality.......

[ajoe]

<<<Ever heard of Neopets? It has the coolest collection of games!>>>

[random_hero]

CAN WE GET BACK TO THE GAME PLEASE?

[verybaddmom]

can you stop yelling at me please?

[random_hero]

Werent you deaf a couple of posts ago?

[verybaddmom]

do you ever leave your computer to pursue a social life?

[amuse]

yes, but do you like me ever find yourself wondering/thinking about this forum when out having fun?

[avid_reader]

all the time .. isnt that cool ? arent we getting more from the forum than others if we do ?

has anyone read 'a painted house' by Grisham ? there is a scene in the novel in which Luke tries to outquestion Pearl - a shopkeeper lady who always asks a question in return to someone's question .

[emily655321]

("You just foolin', mah name's Pearl." :D)

Why is a raven like a writing desk?

[verybaddmom]

Why arent you making any sense to me?

[emily655321]

*as evil trial lawyer* Why won't you answer the question??

[verybaddmom]

*chin lifted, looking down nose* who says i have to?

[ajoe]

Don't you know we're supposed to be questioning and not answering in this thread?

[emily655321]

What do you think this is, Jeopardy? :D

[Green Utopia]

why should I think ?

[emily655321]

Why can't I think?

[verybaddmom]

what is thinking?

[emily655321]

What is . . . 'love'?

[random_hero]

What is it with you and baddmom? Is there something I should know about?

[ajoe]

Why are you being so nosy, random_hero?

[ajoe]

Assuming you're a guy, can't you see girls have their own mindset?

[verybaddmom]

what are you insinuating??

[ajoe]

What the hell does insinuate mean?

[verybaddmom]

dont you own a dictionary?

[verybaddmom]

can you hear me smiling?

[ajoe]

Can't you see I'm deaf?

[verybaddmom]

wasnt it me who was deaf earlier?

[verybaddmom]

arent hearing tests mandatory?

[emily655321]

Wouldn't "mandatory" be a better name for the men's restroom? :D

[verybaddmom]

ROFLMAO

have i ever laughed this hard at one of your posts??

PMSL!

[emily655321]

Could it be because this one was just so... man-licious?


(Oh god, now I'm getting overtired silly. :D)

[verybaddmom]

do you think you should take a break before you end up hardwired into the computer like something from a stephen king novel?

[emily655321]

Would it be a better reason that the Daily Show is on in ten minutes?

[verybaddmom]

what is the daily show?

[emily655321]

Didn't you start getting it in Canada a year or two ago?

[verybaddmom]

do you have to watch tv to see it?

[verybaddmom]

is it on right after American Chopper?

[emily655321]

Do I look like a TV Guide?

[verybaddmom]

wow, when was your last adavan?

[emily655321]

What's an adavan?

[verybaddmom]

have you ever had valium?

[emily655321]

is that what adavan is?

[verybaddmom]

do you see the similarity?

[emily655321]

Are my powers of deduction blowing your mind?

[verybaddmom]

um, were they supposed to be?

[emily655321]

Aren't I unpleasant when I'm tired?

[verybaddmom]

are you going for a thousand tonight, before you sleep?

[emily655321]

Considering at this 23 or 24 hour mark the only answer I can think of is "No," isn't it conceivable that that would kill me? :D

[Green Utopia]

Why do you consider it conceivable?

[papayahed]

but is it practical?

[random_hero]

Why does our society value practicality so?

[verybaddmom]

how, exaclty, are we socialized?

[emily655321]

Are we really socialized?

[ajoe]

If we are socialized, would we be here talking on the net with semi-strangers?

[emily655321]

Is society really at such a loss without us?

"It's sort of social. Demented and sad, but social." --Judd Nelson :D

[verybaddmom]

do we place so little value on ourselves that we think that society would not be devastated with our loss?

[ravana]

Does it sound as self-sufficient or self-respect?

[emily655321]

If we were self-sufficient, would we be constantly referring to this board for the opinions/approval of others? (Ah ha. *raised eyebrow*)

[verybaddmom]

how can you raise only one eyebrow?

[ajoe]

Don't you know some people have the gift?
Have you ever seen Jim Carrey?

[Shea]

Have you seen his Grinch face without the makeup? LOL!!

[ravana]

Whose raised eyebrow was reminded in Em's writing?
How did you find the nose of Jeniffer lopes in "Anaconda"?

[emily655321]

Don't you think we need a raised-eyebrow smiley? (btw, I can only do it if I lower the other one)

Was her nose doing something special in the movie?

[simon]

Can anyone else raise one nostrel?

[emily655321]

You mean like making an "ick" face?

[simon]

Why can't I picture this "ick" face?

[papayahed]

who has an ick face?

[emily655321]

Have you ever smelled a dead skunk?

[ajoe]

Do I even look like I've ever run into a skunk (dead or alive)?

[Shea]

Why do some people color their hair to look like skunks?

[emily655321]

Isn't it better than trying to dye it to look natural?

[Shea]

What is the point of trying to dye it natural? :p

[emily655321]

Does anyone think they're fooling people by having grey roots instead of grey hair?

[Shea]

Ever met someone who would dye their hair with shoe polish to avoid grey roots?

[emily655321]

Do I know one that obsessed, or do I think she'd actually do it?

[Shea]

Who said it was a "she"?

[papayahed]

Does "she" use hair dye to polish shoes?

[Shea]

What happens if the shoes are green!?

[emily655321]

Why does that make dyeing hair with shoe polish start to sound appealing?

[imthefoolonthehill]

I think the real question should be: who ate Jimmy Carter's bean dip?

[emily655321]

Why would someone want to steal from Jimmy Carter? Poor sweet dipless guy.

[imthefoolonthehill]

Who stole from Jimmy Carter?

[emily655321]

Reagan. I mean, why are we talking about Jimmy Carter again?

[imthefoolonthehill]

Did the grin win?

[emily655321]

Did you make a habit of sleeping in history class?

(edit: no, but only b/c people don't know what's good for them)

[imthefoolonthehill]

oops... mistook this for ask the guy below you.

[simon]

not that caught my attention

ever been paint balled in the eye?

[verybaddmom]

why would i want to do that?

[ravana]

Why wouldn't if you've nothing to do?

[Shea]

would paint in the eye be better than nothing?

[emily655321]

Nothing's better than paint in the eye.
(BUZZ. I lose. :D I just couldn't help myself.)

How much paint?

[verybaddmom]

what color of paint?

[emily655321]

If it blinds you, why would you care?

[verybaddmom]

dont you still want to look nice?
