Still with the Answering Questions with Questions

Don't you mean a moderator?

Isn't a moderator our version of a wizard?

Don't you hate coming in on midconversation and not knowing what is being discussed?

Do you need some time to go back and read the old thread?

Can't you just recap for us?

Is my posterior going to end up with a recap busted in it ?

Does anybody know why we keep doing this?

do you have something against it?

Isn't this thread like the girlfriend who never puts out?

Why would I know about that?

How about a boyfriend who never puts out?

Why would I know about that?

Have you ever been someone's boyfriend?

Does anyone else think that it would worst of all if you had one partner of each gender, and neither of them were interested ?

Does a bisexual necessarily double their chances for a date?

Isn't anyone's chances of obtaining sexual satisfaction infinitely better than the likelihood of our getting a real answer on this thread?

Doesn't that depend on the person?

Isn't the point of this thread NOT to get answer?

As Gertrude Stein might have have said: There is no answer; isn't that the answer?

What does Gertrude Stein know?

At this point, she'd surely know if there's life after death, right ?

Isn't it possible she's not really dead?

Then who is buried in her grave?

Jim Morrison?

What's he doing there?

Rotting?

Seeing how Morrison was a musical composer, shouldn't you have said "decomposing"?

If this thread is removed, is it deposted?

Isn't deposting the act of removing a fence?

And don't fences make good neighbors?

Have you ever tried to borrow a cup of sugar from a fence?

Would you be surprized if I answered "yes"?

Would he be more surprised if you'd tried to fence a cup of sugar?

What if he got a really good price because of the sugar shortage ?

Should the government institute Sugar Prohibition?

Why bother, when they can tax it?

Shouldn't they tax.. um you know.... "thingy"?

What "thingy" do you refer to?

Does "thingy" rhyme with "slinky ?"*

(*Research for a neighboring thread)

Have you check the site Rhymezome ?

Isn't that a flowering plant family?

Are you confusing "Rhyme" with "Thyme"?

Wasn't he referring to rhizomes ?

Do all rhizomes produce plants that flower?

Are you questioning my admittedly scant knowledge of plant life?

Are you admitting that you should brush up on botany?

Should we all brush up on botany?

Shouldn't we always learn new things?

What's new?

Isn't anything you don't already know classified as "new"?

What if I said that without rhizomes, beer couldn't exist, since hops are propagated from rhizomes ?

If you said this, would anybody hear you over the Internet?

Dontcha think mentioning beer would get most LMBers attention?

What if I mentioned it expressly to indulge my dual love of getting beer and getting attention ?

Do you think anyone would really mind since pretty much everyone here also loves beer and attention?

Have you surveyed Legion Worlders to ascertain that?

Is this a mandatory survey?

Am I the only non-beer drinker?

Are you a non-beer drinker too?

Is "non-beer" like a Zima?

Zima ? Is that still in production ?

Do you trust Wkipedia when it says "On October 20, 2008, MillerCoors LLC announced that it had discontinued production of Zima, choosing instead to focus on other 'malternative' beverages."?

Do you often find that Wikipedia has bad info?

Who drank that Zima crap in the first place?

How do you know it is crap if you haven't tried it yourself or know someone who has?

Even if someone he knows thinks it's crap, does it follow that their taste buds would be the same?

Was it so much how it tasted as much as its perception as a 'wussy' drink?

What goes into an alcoholic beverage being considered a wussy drink?

Something else else pink, perhaps?

Wasn't Zima a clear beverage?

Could it have failed because clear beverages do a bad job of disguising poorly washed bar glasses ?

Or is clear the new pink?

Is pink your favorite color, Cramey?

Pretty in pink
Isn't she?
Pretty in pink
Isn't she?

Channeling the Psychedelic Furs, eh?

Why am I suddenly transported back to Lower Manhattan, circa 1984 ?

Could it be some new power of Lardy's?

It always comes back to that possibility, doesn't it ?

Why does everybody assume that something strange and bizarre involves Lard Lad?

Is Lardy our Wayback Link?

Am I all things to all people?

I dunno--has Obama selected you for his cabinet yet?

If so, are you in Amazing Spider-Man with him?

What cabinet position would be best for Spider-man (or Lardy for that matter)?

Is there a position for Secretary of Entertainment?

How about Secretary of Veternarians Affairs?

Or is that too Cobie-oriented?

Could somebody just find Cobie and ask him ?

Who will we send to search for him?

Would said person have better luck finding Cobie if looking whilst wearing a sheep costume?

Are you going to wear the sheep costume again?

What would you prefer I wear?

Could you dress up as a hula dancer?

Is there enough grass for the skirt?

Is there ever enough grass?

On my budget ? Are you crazy ?

Hey, who put just brownie mix in the brownies ?

[shakes fist]

"Am I crazy?" - Have you asked the nice young doctor in the clean white coat out at the asylum?

Why? Would he have enough grass?

Are you accusing him of dealing illegal narcotics on the side?

Who said anything about narcotics?

Do some people think that lawngrass is a narcotic, just as people used to think you could smoke bananas?

If you can smoke a ham, why can't you smoke a banana?

Well, why don't you?

Does it explain everything if I tell you that several years before my birth, my Mom hung out with people who smoked banana peels ?

How does it explain the Great Awakening of 1730?

Is that the exception that proves the rule?

Weren't rules made to be broken?

Who broke Mercedes Ruehl?

Is Ruehl, Rule spelled wRong?

Or is Rule, Ruehl spelled Right?

Who has the right to Ruele?

Why don't you write to your Congressman about the right to Ruehl?

Wouldn't writing my MP be more effective?

Who's your MP?

Ought we to be discussing politics?

Why not? Is that forbidden?

Isn't it just too depressing?

Do you want some Prozac?

How about a couple of fresh-baked waffles instead ?

With blueberries in 'em?

Is it okay if they're frozen blueberries ?

Could we even get fresh during winter?

Don't lotsa couples "get fresh" with each other a little more often during the winter because it's cold outside?

Does that remind anyone else of Marion and Howard in Happy Days?

And isn't it scary that this isn't the first time someone has brought up Howard and Marion's friskiness ?

Do you scare that easily?

Isn't the thought of Howard and Marion knocking boots just a little frightening?

Were their references to this in the series (other than the existence of their kids, of course

)?

If it's so frightening to Rocky, why does he keep bringing it up?

Don't we sometimes need to face our deepest fears, the better to expunge them ?

Don't we get better exercize if we run from our fears as fast as our feet will carry us?

Aren't there better ways to exercise?

How about Wii Fit?

How fit is Wii?

wii what?

Wii not?

What do you mean Wii, Kemosabe?

What does "Kemosabe" actually mean?

Do you really want to know?

do you really want to hurt me ?

Do you really want to make me cry?

How many layers are there in an onion, anyway ?

Have you ever referred to getting a haircut as "getting your onion peeled"?

Don't you call it "getting your ears lowered?"

Would Vulcans have their ears trimmed?

Would you call that procedure 'vulcanization'?

Doesn't that involve volcanos?

What if we threw onions in the volcano first ?

Do we want to give the volcano bad breath?

Would you give it a Volcano Taco?

Are those any good?

Is anything from Taco Bell (aka Toxic Hell) any good?

What if it's all I can afford right now ?

Is Rocky judging us?

Isn't more likely that I merely dislike Taco Bell?

Can't enough "fire sauce" and free soft drink refills disguise a multitude of flaws ?

Perhaps the Pyngwyn doesn't like the hot stuff?

Wouldn't Pngwyns be happier at a raw fish sushi place?

Why do we have to kow-tow to the Pyngwyn's tastes and not mine?

Did I say the rest couldn't eat at (*ugh*) Taco Bell?

Can't one appreciate REAL Mexican food without resorting to Taco Hell?

Wouldn't one have to go to Mexico for that?

Or at least encounter some real Mexicans ?

Who are the real Mexicans?

Wopuldn't people from Mexico count?

Should we count them in both Spanish and English, just to be polite ?

Don't you mean politically correct?

Does it have to be an "either/or" decision?

Is there nobody on this board who can help me learn to be decisive ?

Why do you want to be decisive?

Isn't personal growth a worthy goal?

Will you be my guru?

Will you do everything I tell you to without question?

How much will you pay me?

Would you work for peanuts?

Do I look like an elephant?

Uh, are we truthin', today?

Are you teething today?

Can't anyone tell the difference between "teething" and "seething ?"

Aren't they often found together in the same household?

But which one leaves the toilet seat up?

Which one has external genitalia?

The male, right?

Isn't it obvious?

Doesn't that depend on what planet you're from?

Is someone here from another planet?

Didn't you go before we left?

Why did AFOB want to know where I was?

Has he also got a mancrush on you?

doesn't everyone have a mancrush on Rocky?

Would that include Rockhopper Lad himself and if so, does that make him egotistical?

Isn't Rocky of all people allowed to be egotistical?

Can I have a mancrush on Rocky if I change my name to something more manly ?

And what would be this more manly name?

If you pronounce it "clee-OHM", would that sound more manly?

Can we get a quorum of crush-bestowing males and ask them to vote on it ?

Are there any crush-bestowing males other than Cupid?

Weren't we talking about mortal males ?

Was that ever specified?

Wouldn't I count as a crush-bestowing male (and wouldn't it be a "crush" rather than a "mancrush" if the person doing the crushing is either a straight woman or gay man?)?

Is crush-bestowing (man- or otherwise) a conscious act on your part?

Does dressing like this count?

er, what was I asking about again?

Will this picture, [Linked Image]

help restore your memory?

How'd you obtain a pic of my father-in-law?

Does your wife look like her mother, I hope?

Chee so dee wookie?

Wouldn't you rather have an Ewok?

Can I just have the royalties instead?

How much hairball remedy per year does the average Ewok require ?

Which do you mean, the African Ewok or the European Ewok?

Is one hairy than the other?

Aren't Europeans generally hairier?

Which do you mean, the men or the women?

Both?

Oh, is that the way you swing?

Is that a fantasy of yours?

Do you really want to hear about my fantasies?

Do they involve ruby slippers, a yellow brick road and a scarecrow?

Why does it always end up being all about Quislet and Broadway musicals ?

Could it be a ploy for attention?

On the internet ? Are you serious ?

Should I be?

Have you ever been?

What do you think?

Isn't seriousness seriously overrated?

Are you serious?

If I am, am I overrated?

Who is rating you?

And who rates the person rating AFOB?

Don't we have a Ratings Lad or Lass here?

Have you checked directory?

could we call legionworld 411?

Is it better than our crappy ol' 21st Century 411?

If the directory is our 411, wouldn't that be worse than the 21st century version?

Would you rather the 5th century version?

Would it include monks and illuminated letters?

Does anyone besides me think that all the downsizing and outsourcing has ruined illuminated directories, maybe forever ?

Who wouldn't want to carry around a 15 pound tome containing up to, but no more than 300 numbers?

What about the rest of the numbers?

Is the monk working on volume 2?

How long before vol. 2 comes out?

Does one year sound about right?

But... what about the variant covers ? And will the President be appearing on the cover ?

Who was President in the 5th century?

Would it be Atilla T. Hun?

Did you ever see the Farside cartoon of a hobo in front of a castle saying "No, I'm Al Tillie the Bum."?

Did he rule an empire?

Did his empire strike back?

Do stricken backs require chiropractors?

What do striken chiropractors require?

Wouldn't that depend upon what they were stricken with ?

Suppose they were stricken with a bad case of the heebie-jeebies?

Is that similar to the willies?

Like the wet willies?

What about Willie and the Poor Boys ?

Can we afford them?

Aren't you a super-rich lawyer with your own private atomic train to travel the countryside?

Why haven't you invited all of us on your private atomic train?

Well it wouldn't be private then, would it?

Couldn't you just keep the great unwashed masses out of it and invite your dearest friends who hold you in such high esteem (like me)?

Why must FC always oppress us hygiene-challenged masses with her bourgeois grooming standards ?

Shouldn't I inspire you to a higher standard?

What is the standard?

If it was really standard, wouldn't we all have recognized it by nmow?

Didn't they break up Standard almost 100 years ago?

Don't they say that breaking up is hard to do?

Wouldn't I have to have more relationship experience to answer that question properly?

Haven't you broken at least 200 hearts by now?

Can I count imaginary people?

Wouldn't that put your numbers in the millions, then?

Does a gentleman ever kiss and tell?

They do on Jerry Springer, don't they?

Do gentlemen appear on that show?

Yes, haven't you seen them dressed as ladies?

What do the ladies dress as?

Have you ever seen The National Enquirer's "Fashion Disaster" page?

Isn't that an unfair comparison for the National Enquirer's "fashion Disaster" page?

What has National Enquirer done to deserve such infamy?

Do you want to hear the whole list or just the top 500?

Hasn't the line between "real" news and tabloid "news" dissolved almost completely at this point ?

How long is the whole list?

How far is the journey from here to a star ?

Which star do you have in mind?

Is it a real star or a Legion-y star?

Would Comet Queen count as a star?

Why not just use the Death Star instead?

Wasn't it a little too convenient that you could destroy the thing with one shot?

Don't a lot of action adventure flicks, especially space-fantasy, fall apart if you scrutinize too much?

Don't most of them fall apart at the end anyways?

Are you saying that entropy is inevitable?

Does is come with spinach?

Or a side of candied yams?

Candy? Who's hold'in out on us?

Could it be a lurker?

Can we trust lurkers?

Have we verified their credit scores ?

Or checked their license to lurk?

Sick people: License to ill?

How can lurkers get licenses if they're lurking in back of the line?

Could they have friends or family working behind the counter?

Would they get a friends and family discount?

Are you in favor of nepotism?

Can I find out what my friends and family think of it first, and then get back to you ?

What makes you think that they know better than you?

Doesn't mother always know best?

Would that include Mommy Dearest, Joan Crawford?

She had a pretty successful career, didn't she?

Hasn't the Fay Dunaway movie made us all forget that?

Aren't you assuming everyone's seen that movie?

Does everyone whose seen it prefer plastic hangers to wire hangers now ?

Don't you think she had a point about the hangers, even if she was a bit strident?

Wouldn't the saying "you attract more flies with honey than vinegar" be appropriate in this case?

What's "honet"?

Whatever are you talking about?

Wouldn't it have been more fun to make up something for "honet"?

Why can't you do that?

Why can't I have tea with honet?

Wasn't "Honet" the name of an Agatha Christie character ? Or was that "Henet" ?

Was Quis secretly hinting that he is going to a conference in Malaysia?

Are you implying Quis is an International Man of Mystery?

Wouldn't you like to know?

Would you tell me if I asked nicely?

Why wouldn't I tell you?

What if we don't speak Malaysian ?

What makes you think I speak Malaysian?

Isn't the language called "Malay"?

With V-Day coming, shouldn't we be speaking the language of love?

Just what do sharks do for Valentine's Day?

What would you like me to do, baby?

Can you come by and clean my house?

Hey! Wasn't I first in line for the Shark?

Where did you go?

Can the three of us go together?

Is there enough room in the Sharkmobile?

Do you mind riding remora-style?

What kinda style is that?

You won't get tired with all of us clinging to your back?

Shouldn't some of us cling to his pale underbelly?

[heart flutters] Would you say "pale underbelly" like that again, Please ?

Wouldja settle for a pale overbelly?

How many can you fit on that thing?

Isn\'t there room for a few more?

Who are the few?

aren't they also the mighty?

Would they also be far between?

What would they be far between?

A rock and a hard place, perhaps?

is it big rock or a little rock?

Are we talking about Arkansas, now?

When are we not talking about Arkansas?

When we're talking about Nosferatu?

Are there no nosferatu in Arkansas?

Don't a lot of things in Arkansas bite?

Do they charge extra for biting?

What is the standard charge for biting?

Can we get it calculated in Euros, as well ?

Planning a trip to Europe?

I can dream, can't I ?

Aside from going to Europe, what other dreams have you had?

Does anyone else have re-occurring dreams about fellow LMBers?

Should I share that really hot dream about going leather-goods shopping with Neil Gaiman, Dave McKean and Polly J. Harvey ?

Could I borrow that dream tonight?

Can one really lend dreams?

With an authorized card and an absence of fines, shouldn't anything be possible ?

So can God make a rock so heavy he can't lift it?

Who says god is a 'he'?

Why won't you take my word for it?

Is there any reason I should?

In this case, isn't using the masculine singular pronoun a rhetorical device?

Who are you calling rhetorical?

Was that a rhetorical question?

Would you answer it if it wasn't?

What should I answer, if I did?

Shouldn't a rhetorical question get a rhetorical answer?

Does anybody even study rhetoric these days?

Does anybody even study these days?

Could the study of "these days" be called "Contemporology?"

How many credits does "Contemporology" give you?

What college is offering "Contemporology?"

Is Tomahawk or Raging Bull the "Second Shooter" aka "Justin Thyme"? Is it Gary Concord? Is it someone else with a grudge against various members of the LMB?

Roy honey, don't you know you can't just ask random questions on this thread?

Would he be himself if he did?

What if Roy redeemed himself by helping me in my vendetta against my so-called internet provider ?

Wouldn't millions of people expect him to do likewise to assist them?

Wouldn't he have job security then?

Could he even hire some assistants with that much work?

How much would it pay?

Who needs "pay" when you get all that valuable experience?

Are you experienced ?

And have you been paid?

And if rather than getting new assistants, your salary was increased as if you were doing their work too, would you rather have that option instead?

wouldn't that exclude you? So why are you asking?

Aren't we all just considering the options?

Was it something I said?

Can you give us a few more minutes to consider our options?

Options, eh ? Shall I start the coffee ?

Will you be using Maxwell House?

Is that a halfway house?

Halfway to where?

Halfway to good tasting coffee?

It is only good the drop in the middle of the cup then?

Do I have to wear a cup?

Why do you care?

Aren't talking sharks capable of caring?

Who is Gary Carter, anyway?

Is that the name of a new TV series?

Which network is it on?

Maybe it's on Abin TV?

Or how about the LW?

What other shows are on the LW?

Have you been following The Mystery of the Second Shooter?

Doesn't that star someone name Justin Thyme?

Doesn't that show have too many cast changes?

How many is too many?

Have we lost count or have we lost interest?

Will this note from my doctor offer a satisfactory excuse ?

Does your doctor have a hot nurse?

Should that really be my premiere concern when trying to access primary care ?

Can't you tell whether the nurse is hot while geting your primary care?

If that nurse was part of the Meglaro/Dr. Landro Spy-Ring, would it be a primary concern then?

If so, do I still have to make a co-pay?

Don't you think you should look for another health plan?

Don't the ones without spy rings always cost more?

If the doctor and nurses are spies, are they really qualified to be doctors and nurses?

If they weren't also good doctors and nurses, then wouldn't that blow their cover?

Possibly all the dissatisfied patients were "disappeared" before they could complain ? Did you ever think of that ?

Don't doctor's offices, even those that are a cover for a spy ring, require repeat customers in order to stay in business?

Couldn't they keep getting a fresh supply of customers from countries they're spying on?

Even with foreign customers, wouldn't it take good repeat-customer word-of-mouth to keep the front viable?

Isn't that what I said?

Would you mind repeating what you said?

Are we swimming in circles here?

Is there any other way to go in circles?

What if you just wanted to float on a raft and paddle ?

Could you do that if there were sharks about?

Are you talkin' about me?

Are there any other sharks around?

Does anyone else remember reading an old interview with Peter David where he joked that he wanted to title one of his Aquaman stories "Wet Side Story"?

Was that better than Sub Diego?

Did Sub Diego host a Comic Con? (Coral Con?)

Diego? Stu in Sub Was

Weren't there pictures?

STU? of pictures has Who

Who'd put a hex on a girl like me ? Who put the sting on the honeybee ?

STU? question to do Sub Diego or What does have

Is anyone else bothered by numbnuts?

Which way should I take that question?

Why don't you take the obvious route and ask, "Is the Pope Catholic?"

Does the Pope have to be Catholic?

Shouldn't the Pope be a cowboy?

Wasn't there a Pope who was a poet?

Was that the same Pope who was a girl in drag ?

Does this Pope sound like he's a girl in drag?

Should the Pope wear pants?

Who would know if he (or she) did or didn't?

Quote

Originally posted by Quislet, Esq.:

Uh, where's this link supposed to go that is Pope related?

Was Crocodile Dundee the right answer?

Can I stop being embarassed now that the link is fixed?

Why should we let you off the hook so soon?

Isn't fixing the link sufficient remedy?

What if I want the washing machine fixed, too ?

If you really want the washing machine fixed, why look towards me?

Didn't you volunteer to fix it?

Was I out of the room at the time?

Were you at the laundromat, seeing as how our washing machine is broken?

Oh, is THAT where all the quarters went ?

Were you looking to start a drinking game?

Aren't drinking games under the jurisdiction of our guv'na, Dedman?

Would he stop a drinking game?

Don't all drinking games eventually stop themselves?

Is that spoken from experience?

Wasn't it Gino Vanelli who just wanted to stop ? Or possibly Luthor Vandross ?

Couldn't it be both of them?

Who is to say it could not?

Who is not to say that it could?

Could you say that another way?

Is that an invitation for Numbnuts to speak?

Since when does Numbnuts need an invitation?

Have you read the recent Numbnuts Containment legislation?

Can I have the abridged version ?

Is "No Numbnuts" abridged enough for you?

Was that the sequel to No No Nanette ?

Did No No Nanette really need a sequel?

how many sequels are really ever needed?

Isn't that question ironic for this thread?

Does it cost $7-12 each time one visits this thread, whether or not it was worth it?

Do you take credit cards?

Would you pay cash if there was a discount?

How much of a discount?

Do I earn reward points?

What use would SharkLad have of frequent flyer miles?

Can't reward points be something other than frequent flyer miles?

Aren't FFMs the most desirable rewards?

Would they be, if one is not inclined to fly?

Isn't flying still the safest mode of travel? (Do you distrust Superman?)

Would this be a Superman affected by red kryptonite?

Could we ignore the flying question and just ask Superman questions for a while?

Didn't I just do that?

After 30+ years since the movie slogan, do you believe a man can fly (under his own power) yet?

Do you have any reason to doubt it?

Isn't skepticism healthy?

Ohmygod! So why do you like think that?

Do you want the full list of reasons or just the top 500?

Ohmygod! Like how long will it take you to write out the full list?

You carry them in your briefcase everywhere you go, don't you Quis?

Wouldn't you like to know what is in my briefcase?

Briefs? Boxers?

Why do you think it is called a "briefcase"?

Ohhhhh.
Are we going to ask more "Superman" questions now?

How many Kandorians does it take to change a lightbulb?

Do they even use lightbulbs in Kandor?

Are we talking regular or compact fluorescent ?

Couldn't Kryptonian tech be something else all together?

If they couldn't predict when their planet was going to explode, how likely is it that they have a more advanced lightbulb?

how are those two topics elated?

[Cole Porter:] Why this elation mixed with deflation ? What explanation ? [/Cole Porter]

Will you answer the question, Mr. Bernanke?

Does he post here?

Mr. Bernanke, or Cole Porter?

Could a dead man post here?

Since we already voted a dead guy into the Governor's Mansion, isn't anything theoretically possible ?

Which dead guy are you talking about cleome?

Didn't you know Dedman is our guv'na?

When did we get a Governor's Mansion?

Where do you think your LW tax dollars are going?

They weren't going to Cobie's private Super-secret Cayman Islands bank account?

Didn't he spend all that on Lardy's birthday party?

Does anyone even remember what happened at Lardy's birthday party?

Why didn't anyone bother to tell me there was going to be a party?

Why didn't anyone tell ME--the birthday boy?

How do you know it wasn't supposed to be a surprise party?

How do you know you didn't attend and just forgot because of imbibing too much?

Isn't that an easier excuse than actually bothering to find out what happened to all that money?

Shouldn't you just give me more monet rather than ask what I did with it?

Since when do you collect Monet? Weren't you more of a Gauguin aficionado?

Does the F.O.I. on Quislet's avatar stand for "Fond of Imbibing?" "Foundered on Intoxicants?" "Full of Innuendo?"

Haven't you joined the "Friends of Imra" club yet?

Wouldn't providing a link to F.O.I. be helpful to attracing new members?

What if I'm just by nature not a joiner ?

How would we ever know if we voluntarily joined... or if we were manipulated to join by telepaths?

Did you stop by the Café yet for your free tinfoil hat?

Don't you have to buy a triple grande hazelnut mocha latte in order to get the "free" tinfoil hat?

Are the hats 'one size fits all?'

You don't have an overly large or small head, do you?

Isn't that a rather personal question?

Since when are personal questions out of bounds?

Since when is Quis (or anyone else) obliged to remain consistent?

Are you acknowledging that the only true constant in this life is change ?

Can you spare some change?

How about some change we can believe in?

Isn't there a serious shortage of that already?

Does that mean the price will go up?

Can I get a senior discount?

Shouldn't you wait until you are a senior?

Are you considered a senior when you pass your junior year or do you have to wait until September?

How many juniors never make it to senior year?

Did you know that in NC one can quit at age 16, regardless of grade?

Isn't that true of many places?

Don't too many students quit mentally long before that?

Don't they know that winners never quit and quitters never win?

Did they fail in the public school system, or did the public school system fail them?

Don't private schools bear some of the responsibility?

Why isn't there a school that encourages creative slacking?

How would one make sure that their slacking course was truly accredited ?

Couldn't we ask a slacker to verify?

Anyone got Jeff Spicoli's number?

Have you looked in that little notebook next to the [cough] magic grow-lamp ?

Didn't he change that number to 1-800-WON-OSCAR?

So we don't need to look up the old number?

Shouldn't we call both?

Do you think he'll take our calls?

Somebody should, don't you think ?

Isn't thinking overrated?

Do you prefer to rely on gut instinct?

Does that mean that those of us with bigger guts have an unfair advantage?

Whuh?!?! Did someone summon me?

well, since you stopped by, could you get us some tapas?

Lardy, is there a way to bill these entertainment costs back to the campaign ?

What entertainment are you talking about?

You mean, "tapas" doesn't spell "party" to you ?

Don't "small, savory Spanish dishes" sound ideal for partying?

Depends-are they the kind with chips and salsa or dark hair and dark eyes?

Can't you guess?

Are those the only two choices?

If we have some of each, what more could we ever ask?

Could we not ask for world peace and a healthy economy?

What dream world do you live in?

The same one as President Obama?

Do you have as many toys as he does?

How many toys does he have?

What toys does he have?

Doesn't he want to be an economy "transformer?"

WIll that have a good or a bad ending?

Wouldn't Hollywood insist on a happy ending?

Ohmygod! Can Hollywood show something like that?

EDG!

Do you kiss your gramma with that mouth?

Ohmygod! What else would I kiss her with?

I dunno...a mouth that wouldn't make innuendos of "happy endings"?

Ohmygod! What Innuendo?

If Lardy sees innuendo in happy endings, dare we ever take him to a Friendly's?

Er...maybe I should shut my yap before Brit's gramps fries me with a green flame?

Ohmygod! <Giggle> Why would Gramps do that?

You think he wouldn't mine me sharing oral sex innuendos with you?

Is that what you were doing???

Haven't you ever heard the words "happy ending" used to talk about something dirty?

Can't you recognize an out when you see one?

Ohmygod! If a "Happy Ending" is like some bizzaro perv thing, Like what is an "Unhappy Ending?"

The Bush administration?

Has that even ended?

Is it like the Neverending Story?

Ohmygod! So like if the Neverending Story ends do you like have to go back and change the title?

Would you like to be the lead plaintiff in my class action suit against the makers of the Neverending Story for false advertisement?

Ohmygod! Can I decide after I finish reading it?

Are you done reading it yet?

What if one never finishes the Neverending Story?

Would they be able to post here if they are still reading it?

Can't you type and read at the same time?

But what if I were typing with my eyes closed ?

Could it be an audiobook?

Have you used an audiobook and if so, did you prefer it to a real book?

What's an audiobook?

Why don't you look it up on Wikipedia?

Wouldn't it be quicker to just answer the question?

Ohmygod, Like what was the original question?

Wasn't it, "What's an audiobook?"?

Ohmygod wasn't that just like the latest independently coherent question?

Coherency ? Where ?

Are you a cogitator, Miss cleome?

Do you know what "cogitator" means?

Do you think I'd ask that if I didn't?

What if you were trying to pretend that you are smarter than you really are?

Ohmygod! Like do you have any form of attestation for that supposition?

Is it really possible to eat an entire dictionary or thesaurus if you're not either a silverfish or a Bismollian ?

How do we know EG is not one or the other?

Ohmygod! What if you're like a Bismollian Silverfish?

Then wouldn't I just eat myself?

Ohmygod!

Can I like watch?

Is that what you're into?

Ohmygod! Is it like as funny as it sounds?

What am I, a clown to you?

Ohmygod! Were you like expecting something more?

Is a little dry humping out of the question?

Can we keep this an all-ages thread?

Did I cross a line?

Tiptoed a line, maybe?

Ain't that just like me?

I don't know you, so how can I answer that?

Ohmygod! Was that line out of line?

Did somebody erase the line?

Ohmygod! if I make the line thicker will you stay on that side of it?

Will you join me on my side?

Ohmygod! will you like curl up in a ball and cry if I don't?

Would you lose respect for me if I did?

Ohmygod! Would you cry harder if I laughed out Loud?

Can we continue this line of questioning tomorrow?

Ohmygod! Do you really like expect to find me here tomorrow?

Aren't you here everyday?

Ohmygod! Isn't that my name?

Don't you know your own name?

Ohmygod! Weren't you leaving or some junk like that?

Britney, isn't it past your bedtime?

Quis, don't you have to be in court tomorrow?

Weren't those charges dismissed?

Are you being defensive?

Can't one be inquisitive without being defensive?

And what about vice versa ?

Who would have a problem with that?

Do you want an alphabetical list, or a list in priority of the strength of their objections?

Which list will be more useful to us?

Wouldn't a shopping list be the most useful?

Can you pick me up a box of Devil Dogs?

Does any store still carry those?

Haven't they just been rebranded with degraded ingredients?

Are you going to pick them up or not?

Shouldn't he make sure they are safe first?

What about making sure to observe proper lifting procedures , as well ?

How much does a package of Devil Dogs weigh?

Ohmygod! Are they like Great Dane Devil Dogs or Pug Devil Dogs?

Could they be New Jersey Devil Dogs?

Ohmygod! Mr Shakeyrear, are you like calling the New Josey Devils, Dogs?

Haven't you watched them play lately?

Which play? The Sound of Music?

Ohmygod! Mr Quizzy-Poo why do you act so silly?

Who's acting?

Wouldn't that be up to the casting department?

Would I be a Legion World heretic if I said I wanted the ladies of the Legion of Super-Heroes to be played by Disney starlets like Demi Lovato (Shadow Lass), Selena Gomez (Phantom Girl), Ashley Tisdale with her natural dark hair color (Shrinking Violet), Megan Jette Martin (Saturn Girl), and Alyson Stoner (Lightning Lass)?

Is this for Legion: The Broadway Musical, or what ?

Would you believe it's just wishful thinking on my part, given that these actresses' Disney contracts give them no chance of starring in an entertainment featuring Warner Brothers properties?

Wouldn't you know there are often loopholes in any contract?

Shall we start a holiday for those wonderful loopholes?

What if we put on our own Legion musical in the barn ?

Also, couldn't we evade the DC legal department by not charging the fans anything to see it ?

If it were really successful and popular, do you think they'd close us down anyways?

Wouldn't they just try to take over rather than shut us down?

Would you really want Dan didio running our musical?

What if he had just a ceremonial title, with no actual power ?

Would you still want our production to be called "a franchise?"

Wouldn't that be better than having it called "unwatchable"?

Is that our best option?

In show biz, just how many great options do we have a right to expect ?

Would you like to option the comic book "Werewolf by Night"?

Who do you have in mind to direct ?

Is Hitchcock available?

How good is your Time Bubble ?

If Hitch directs, who should we get to play Jack Russell?

What about him?

You did say Jack Russell, right?

Is this the Disney version?

So should Uncle Walt play Jack?

Wouldn't a CGI Jack be more trendy?

Does the name Jack make anyone else giggle?

Why would it?

Have you tried saying "jack" out loud?

What about "Candlejack" ?

Is that what happens when someone steals your candle?

If she was just posting, how could someone have stolen Candle?

Did you know Candle stole my heart?

Do you wish to sue her for conversion?

Can't we just ask her to give it back?

Didn't somebody think to make a back-up copy earlier ?

Weren't all the backups erased during Y3K?

Won't the next problem year be Y10K, not Y3K?

Do you really think our data or calendar systems will still be in use in 7,990ish years?

Aren't some people still using the Aztec calendar?

What are they using it for?

Costume jewelery ? Tattoos ?

Paperweights?

Just how much does an Aztec Calendar weigh?

Where are our good scales?

Are they still on the good fish?

Are there any fish left (besides Sharky)?

What are you implying?

Did Shark Lad really eat all the fish?

Were they all too big to be thrown back ?

If so, how did you reel them in in the first place?

Are you telling me someone got to the fish before I did?

If you didn't eat them, who did?

Could the LMB have been overrun by those itinerant Daxamite Sushi chefs again ?

Why do I now have visions of a Daxamite John Beluschi samurai chef?

What have you been smoking?

Isn't this a no smoking zone?

Is smoking allowed in the Phantom Zone?

Are you worried about breaking rules while in the Phantom Zone?

What else would be breakable while in an intangible state, anyway ?

You won't go breaking my heart, will you?

[fetches fainting couch]

Oh, how could you think such a thing, Elton ?

Does anyone have smelling salts?

What do salts small?

Does that even make sense?

Has that *ever* stopped any of us?

Why do you ask?

Could we have all delegated the asking to Kent, in order to slip out for quick coffees and a few dozen sweet rolls ?

Did you bring back my extra-large black and a coffee roll?

That was yours?

(wipes crumbs off face, hides cup)

Should I bring another?

Would you?

How much is it worth to you?

Will $3.95 cover it?

Shouldn't you add tax, tip and delivery charge onto that?

Don't all the new threads qualify him for the Quank Quantity Discount ?

What new threads?

You mean that's not a new skirt ?

How do you know I didn't find it in the...

<span style="font-size: 25px;">SUPER DUMPSTER... of Space?</span>

Wasn't that supposed to be in question form?

Is that better?

How did you do that?

Do you believe in magic?

Does magic believe in me?

Doesn't magic believe in everyone?

Have you asked Magic ?

Do you have Illyana Rasputin's number handy?

Is it 666-7734?

Should you say that number out loud?

What is the worst that could happen, foolish mortal?

Ummm... Who were you calling a Foolish Mortal?

Don't you know?

Do you actually need to question me?

What should we ask you?

Can a talking shark claim the Fifth Amendment?

What does SharkLad have to hide?

An even racier towel pic than the one Lash already posted?

Who said Sharky had a towel?

Could the lack of a towel account for the pic being even racier than Lash's?

Or was just the jaunty sailor's cap?

So when can we see this picture of a jaunty sailor's cap?

Jaunty? Who uses that word anymore?

Um, didn't you just use it?

Haven't you guys heard about the Committee to Revive Archaic Adjectives?

Are you chairing that committee?

Can you chair a standing committee?

How does one get seated onto a standing committee in the first place?

Does it have to be a standing committee?

Will we get a standing ovation?

Is polite applause acceptable?

Has the committee really earned any applause yet?

Should we wait until they've actually done something?

Has a committee ever done anything?

Has the committee recognized you so that you could ask that question or are you out of order?

Can our handyman fix a committee member who is out of order?

Would he fix all the housepets at no extra charge, as long as he's here anyway?

What if Streaky and Krypto don't want to be fixed? Is an average handyman equipped to deal with them?

Wouldn't the..uh...scissors break?

Couldn't they be taken to the Red Sun Veterinary Clinic?

Do you know how much they charge there?

Could you tell us?

Is he keeping it a secret?

Is it possible Quis intended to add his own "surcharge" onto your bill?

Is that a legal question that you want my expert advice on?

Wouldn't you have a conflict of interest if you did?

Does Quis have any relatives or clients employed at the clinic in question?

Isn't his client list confidential?

Shouldn't he offer full disclosure?

Do I have to disrobe for that?

Could you wait until we're out of the room?

Where's the fun in that?

Can't you find fun in good, wholesome ways?

Is that even possible anymore?

For Quis? Or in general?

Which general do you mean? General Delivery? General Idea?

Perhaps General Mills? What could be more wholesome than that?

Aren't we all tired of being wholesome?

What if we haven't been at it long enough to be tired yet?

Isn't it obvious your swimming against a current here?

Is this a better or worse example of that than my fondness for crack pairings would be?

Doesn't that depend on whose crack yours is paired up with?

Are we talking hard crack or soft crack ?

Could we just move on the caramel stage, and start eating the pralines?

Since when do we need permission?

Isn't it easier to ask for forgiveness than permission?

Quis, did you hog all the pralines again?

How do you define "hog"?

Hey! Where did all the pralines go?

Didn't I see cleome running out the door with them?

Or are you just saying that to try to point the blame elsewhere?

Isn't there always enough blame to go around?

Shouldn't we just start fresh with a new day?

Shouldn't we have a fresh batch of pralines (or an equivalent goodie) to go with it?

What's the earliest hour that's appropriate to eat pralines?

Where is Miss Manners when you need her?

Would Emily Post do?

What would Emily post?

Why would Emily ever post here?

Is she a Legion fan?

Who isn't a Legion fan?

Wouldn't that list seem to include most of DC's management staff?

Are you going to name names?

Are you going to blacklist me if I don't?

Is there ever a whitelist?

Is it okay to be listless?

Do you remember what you wrote down before the list went away?

Was it that important?

How can I answer that when I don't even know what we were planning on shopping for?

If you can't remember, then how do you know it was important?

Couldn't I just be trying to cover all the bases?

Don't you need a really big tarp for that?

How about several small, co-ordinated tarps?

Could we use Elastic Lad instead?

Are you a user?

Aren't we all users, in some regard or another?

In what regard do you mean?

Do you use condiments? Do you use public transportation? Do you use the advice of others when deciding whether to try something new?

Does one out of three make me a user?

Why is that relevant, when you've definitely done at least two of those?

What kind of condiments are best when one is using public transit, anyway?

Ohmygod! Are like Mustard and Axle Grease among the choices?

Why does one have to choose between mustard and axle grease?

Doesn't it depend on what you are using it for?

Would anyone but a Bismollian consider axle grease to be a condiment?

Couldn't we use mustard as a lubricant?

What are you lubricating, a ham and cheese sandwich?

How old is that sandwich?

You weren't thinking of eating it, were you?

What about selling it on ebay?

how well do ham and cheese hold up on the collector circuit?

Which saint and/or dead pop star can you claim to see on the outside of it?

Neither saint nor pop star: In the crust isn't that a vague outline of the profile of John Montagu, Fourth Earl of Sandwich ?

All I can see is Cher, what do you see?

I see Monsieur Croque... or is that Croque Monsieur?

Could it be that Monsieur Croque and John Montagu, Fourth Earl of Sandwich, are one and the same?

Does that seem even remotely likely?

When has that ever stopped us before?

Does anyone know where we can stop around here for a nice sandwich?

Or does the majority clamor for pizza instead?

What if there is someone who doesn't like pizza?

Couldn't they order something else?

How about Chinese food?

Could we get Thai instead?

Do they have vegetarian options for the herbivores amongst us?

So are we just going to all order a la carte?

Why would you want to eat a carte?

Isn't that better than digesting Descartes?

If I stop thinking, do I cease to exist?

Or do you become a <strike>Republican</strike> vegetable?

Would cleome consider you edible if that was the case?

Why would one LMBer eat another?

Perhaps the Bard mistakes me for one of Suddenly Seymour's coterie?

you mean you aren't?

Why would you think she was?

The t-shirt, perhaps?

Whose t-shirt?

The one that says, "I am One of Suddenly Seymour's Coterie," perhaps?

He Who Wanders is now one of Seymour's coterie? Why am I always the last to know these things?

Did I say I was the one wearing the t-shirt?

Does it matter, if the t-shirt in question says that you are one of Seymour's coterie?

Is it possible that you are misunderstanding the purpose of the quotation marks in my post?

Is it possible that I am following time-honored AQWQ practice and deliberately doing so in order to steer the conversation elsewhere?

Where are you trying to steer it?

And can we see your license?

Do you need a license for a coterie?

Or is that for entourages rather than coteries?

Have you read the licence law to see if either or both are covered?

May I see you license, sir?

Could I see some proof of your identity first?

Will my old Merry Marvel Marching Society card do?

Is that I.D. recognized here?

Doesn't the Merry Marvel Marching Society have diplomatic status with LW?

Where is the Merry Marvel Marching Society's embassy?

Didn't they try to open an embassy in Latveria?

Would you want to be ambassador to Latveria and have to deal with Dr. Doom?

To where would you like to be an ambassador?

How much would it cost me for Paris?

How much do you have in assets?

Can one include canned goods and old canning pamphlets in calculation of said assets?

What if the reply is "no"?

Who would dare say no to me?

Are you the Honey Nut Cheerios Shark now?

Would that mean he's of the Mini-soooda Sharks? (obscure facts: General Mills is based in Minnesota and my Ma worked on the line for them for 35 years.)

Can Blockade Ma us free GM products?

How much formed and baked sugar can you handle?

How much have you got?

Can one ever get enough?

Why don't you ask a drowning person?

Did they drown trying to get the prizes at the bottom of the freight car?

What prizes would those be?

Perhaps something like the legendary "Cosmiclouder" ?

Why?

Why ask why?

Should we not question things?

Can I question The Authority even if it's just a library copy?

Isn't it okay to question it within 28 days?

Is that before or after the rage-inducing virus takes over everyone on the planet?

Is your library copy due back before then?

Can we get an extention?

Don't extensions usually look so damn fake?

Doesn't it depend on what you are extending?

Shouldn't we always extend courtesy?

What do we do if people aren't courteous to us?

Travel the high road?

What if this leads to shoes full of pebbles?

What is the best way to extract a pebble from one's shoe?

Shouldn't you remove the shoe and shake the pebbles out?

And then, shouldn't you determine how best to avoid getting more pebbles in your shoes?

Where's the fun in that?

Isn't that fundimental?

Isn't reading fundamental?

Are you a fundamentalist?

What kind of fundamentalist are you?

Can agnostics be fundamental in their agnosticism?

Are there agnostics in foxholes?

Can foxes be agnostic?

Would foxes have a great fox god, or would they worship Pan?

Pan's not really a god, is he?

Who decides who gets to be god-certified?

Is there a Divinity Certification Board?

Can the Divinity Certification Board also take away someone's divinity for ethical violations?

Can a god decide what's ethical and what's not?

Wouldn't that be better than a Court that thinks it is Supreme?

Which of the Justices is Diana Ross?

Isn't she the one who sings, "You Can't Hurry an Opinion"?

Is that why we haven't heard anything from her in a while?

Haven't you heard her hit about the Dred Scott decision?

"Someday, We'll Be Overturned"?

Could Counsel approach the bench and hum a few bars, please?

Doesn't this give new meaning to the "bar exam"?

Have you studied for the exam?

I just drank a beer--does that count?

Did you drink it at a bar?

Wouldn't it be <strike>cheaper</strike> more economical to buy some beer at a store and drink it at home?

Can you take (or study for) a bar exam at home?

Would it depend on how chaotic your home is?

And was Ozomatli correct to assert that we should embrace the chaos ?

Ozomatli? Wasn't he the villain in Watchmen?

Do you think they will make a movie about the Inferior Five?

Should we ask the Magic 8-Ball?

If that doesn't work, does anyone have a Ouija Board?

Aren't they cursed?

Who is swearing?

And was it their turn to take the stand?

Where did they take it?

Did they go dutch?

If the stand was an invited guest, shouldn't they have paid it's share?

Was it a Dutch restaurant?

Is there such a thing (in the U.S., that is)?

Should I have typed "Dutch-themed" instead?

Wouldn't one imagine one would find such a restaurant in Holland, Michigan ?

If not there, how about in Holland, Massachusetts ?

Does Holland, Massachusetts, have a tulip festival as in Holland, Michigan?

And what of a certain town in Washington state ?

Isn't that against the law?

Giving a town an unusual name is against the law?

Shouldn't it be? If you start out here , will you end up here ?

What if you wore protection in Pennsylvania?

Well I guess it would be okay, as long as you had a Climax , right?

Could we have gotten a joke out of Gypsumville?

. . . while wastin' away in Margaritaville?

Isn't this a dry county?

How come nobody ever told me that?

Did you ever ask?

Did I ever ask *hiccup* what?

Is there any point, beyond idle amusement, in talking to drunken people?

Ishs there any *hic* any point in drinkin' to talk people?

Would you like me to scare you to cure those hiccups?

How, how would you *hic* do that?

Maybe she could send some hicks to do the job?

Is Jeff Foxworthy available?

Might you be a redneck?

Are rednecks and hicks synonomous?

Do either rednecks or hicks know what"synonomous" means?

What kind of sinning on a mouse do you have in mind?

Mightn't the mouse get squooshed?

Don't mice just spread disease?

So I shouldn't shake hands with Mickey Mouse?

And I shouldn't have had sex with Minnie?

Perhaps Pluto is safe?

What about Uranus?

Do we need to call in a proctologist?

Does LMB have one on call?

Is everyone here being too anal?

So what if we are?

And would you please button down your shirt collar?!

Why are you assuming that this is a shirt with a collar?

Could you just button down your metaphorical shirt collar, then?

Are you speaking rhetorically?

Wasn't she clearly speaking metaphorically?

Isn't clearly speaking metaphorically an oxymoron?

What if the metaphor is something involving the clarity of ringing a clear glass bell?

Is it one of those collectible glass bells?

What kind?

Who has glass balls?

Haven't you ever been to a fisheries museum?

Can we go to the fisheries museum today?

Is something fishy going on there?

Is that tank water exactly clear?

Do you plan on swimming in it?

Could I decide once I get there?

Why procrastinate?

Can I get back to you on that?

When should I expect your reply?

Could you please respond by midnight?

Are you turning into a pumpkin after midnight?

Wouldn't turning into a melon be more seasonal?

Is anything other than rhubarb growing in your region?

Does whatever is fueling my allergies count?

Are you sure you aren't allergic to rhubarb?

Have you been preparing the rhubarb properly before eating it?

When will the rhubarb pickles be available?

What would you like with your rhubarb pickles?

Do you remember who said "Never rub another man's rhubarb?"

How could I forget?

Do you have amnesia?

How often does that happen in real life, anyway?

For me in particular or in general?

Which General, Zod or Mills?

What was the question?

Anmesia, how could you forget?

Do you want the medical explanation?

Can you put it in layman's terms?

Wasn't "Layman" the boyfriend of some LMBer or another?

Do you mean the one who called himself Lay Lad as a youth?

And didn't he call his headquarters the Layman Islands?

Didn't Layman turn out to be Lad Boy's double from an alternate universe?

Was it those two together who wrecked SHAKES?

Was that the time they fought The Killer Tomatoes?

Have the Killer Tomatoes returned?

Lays Lad made nachos out of them, didn't he?

Or was that the villainous Nacho Gaucho?

What villainous acts has she done?

Isn't that file still sealed?

As Time Trappers, don't we have clearance?

Are you the head Time Trapper?

Can the head Time Trapper validate the parking ticket for my time bubble?

How long did you park it for?

With a time bubble, does it matter?

Is that the Time Bubble with the slippery clutch?

Don't they make Time Bubbles with automatic transmission?

What are they automaticly transmitting?

Navigational coordinates (or porn)?

Have they made a time bubble that runs on porn?

Can I borrow somebody's Time Bubble and skip ahead to the less "adult" phase of the conversation?

Will you let us know if it ever gets there?

This is a time bubble. How do you know it hasn't gotten there and back?

Has the trip recording log been disabled?

Who would do such a dastardly deed?

Who would have an interest in such an act?

Does the act involve working with either children or animals?

Are you suggesting that children or animals sabotaged the trip recording log?

Have you ever been on a long trip with children, or animals?

Does watching the Benji movies in the back of a minivan count?

Why would it?

Could it involve some disorder with which one believes that Benji is real and in the minivan at that moment?

Wow, It's like you are in my mind. Are you?

Are those your dirty socks in the corner of the cerebellum?

Are you using "dirty socks" as a euphemism for something naughty?

Would she ever do that?

Do I have to doublethink every word I post?

What is "doublethink" a euphemism for?

What's a "euphemism"?

Didn't they sing about "double-belled euphemisms" in that 76 Trombones song?

Were there actually 76 trombones in that movie?

Should we sue them for false advertisement?

Hasn't the statute of limitations run out?

Has anyone seeing a running statute?

What about the time the statute raced Ironside up that two-lane ramp?

Was that a fair race?

Did Ironside cheat by having a motorized wheelchair?

Should we ask Perry Mason's opinion about that?

Who knows how to communicate with dead fictional characters?

Do you think Madame Xanadu is available?

What are her rates?

With or without the Happy Ending?

Could we ask her for two quotes?

Is her last name Bartlett?

Isn't Xanadu her last name?

Does she live in a stately pleasure dome?

Would that be a Buckmister Fuller designed dome?

Could she afford one of those?

Shouldn't she be rich from knowing what stocks to buy and what teams to pick in betting pools?

That's a good point, but hasn't she been down and out at times?

Doesn't she see herself as above such trifles as money?

But does her landlord see himself as above such trifles as money?

What if the landlord declares bankruptcy to defer foreclosure?

Would that be his only option?

Couldn't Madame Xanadu help out her with a magical infusion of money?

Doesn't she do that when she pay's the rent each month?

Is that really one of her powers?

Has her powers ever been listed?

Should we check her Wikipedia entry?

Is Wikipedia reliable?

Hasn't it been shown to be as reliable as almost any other basic reference source?

Is there any other reference source even comparable (for general pop culture, at least)?

What evidence do you have for Wikipedia's reliability?

Doesn't my professional opinion as a librarian count?

As a librarian, what do you make of the fact that anyone can write or edit Wikipedia entries?

Isn't it good that at least people are reading?

Does anyone read the Encyclopedia Brittanica anymore?

Should I?

Don't you want to learn about the world?

Can't I get that from a wiki?

Why don't you just step outdoors?

Is it raining out?

Are you wearing a raincoat?

Will an umbrella suffice?

Hasn't the sun come out by now?

The sun is gay???

It does seem a bit flamboyant, doesn't it?

What would Anita Bryant think about her Sunkist oranges now?

Didn't one of her kids turn out gay?

Aren't grapefruits by nature the gayest citrus of all?

On account of their rosy pinkness, yes?

Is this really the most fruitful way to spend our time?

Should we be bettering ourselves or helping the less fortunate?

By the less fortunate are you referring to those who make X-Men the best-selling comics?

Are you referring to the comic book buying public or the writers & artists?

aren't the writers and artists at least gaining income and professional experience?

What if there's plenty of work, but the work don't pay?

Isn't that the eternal problem?

Can we muster a class-action suit against eternity?

Do you have eternity's address so we can properly serve notice of the class action suit?

Who do we hire to serve on eternity?

Would Jesus do?

Might he not just turn the other cheek?

Are we even allowed to say "cheek" on this board?

Did my poor spelling skills show themselves again?

Is that all that's showing?

What are the show times?

Is this a freewill offering show?

Can a determinist give a freewill offering?

What if she was predestined to do so?

Do you believe in predestination?

Is the other choice just arriving at a destination?

Why must there only be two choices?

If you're neither destined nor not destined, what are you?

Undestined (a la undead)?

How would one know if they were destined or not?

A leap of faith?

Just how far do we have to leap?

And what happens if we miss?

Do you really want to know?

Do you want to leave any doubts?

Do you want to take the mystery out of life?

Isn't it better to make an informed choice?

What if there's no time?

What time is it?

If I went no place in particular, could you be there at no time in particular?

Since you're the one who's travelling, would it be fair to say that I'm already nowhere?

If you're here, how could you be nowhere?

Is this anyplace in particular?

Isn't this Legion World? Isn't that particular enough?

Am I here?

When did you last see yourself?

Does looking at your hands on the keyboard count as seeing yourself?

Isn't possible they are someone else's hands?

Then who is using MY computer?

Isn't it possible that you're looking at someone else's computer too?

Then how come they never came back to get it?

Maybe they came in the "While You Were Out" thread?

Do they know where they're goin' to?

Do they go where they wanna go and do what they wanna do?

Will they dream a little dream of me?

Or will they be California dreaming?

Is it a winter's day?

Shall I compare thee to a winter's day?

Who is "Thee?"

Is it the person for whom the bell tolls?

Don't you love it when Lardy references Shakespeare and John Donne within a few posts?

So that last one wasn't a Burt Bacharach reference?

Did Burt Bacharach ever use the "whom" in his lyrics?

Don't you mean Hal David?

Whom is Hal David?

Shouldn't that be phrased as, "Who is HAL, Dave"?

Since all the other astronauts were dead, who would be asking Dave that question?

Could it be that HAL is asking a metaphysical question?

Did HAL strike you as a metaphysical computer?

Should HAL be charged with battery for striking you?

Does Hal Jordan get a new battery with each different ring color?

If he's collecting all that jewelry in rainbow colors, are we then supposed to believe that Hal isn't gay?

Why isn't there a Pink Lantern?

Are we sure there isn't one?

Does Oa have closets?

Where else would the Guardians keep those styling red robes?

Can storage tesseracts be used in lieu of closets?

Wouldn't tesseract fees on Oa be astronomical?

Do Guardians have any concept of money?

If they did, would it be green or some other color?

Do you think the Lantern Corps might just be one big Ponzi scheme?

Wasn't that the scheme in which Potsi and Fonzi pretended to be brothers to get the Polaski twins out on a date?

Wasn't Potsi gay?

Who would you prefer to be your gay lover, Potsie or Ralph Malph?

Wouldn't you rather spend time with someone name Ralph than with a Potsie?

Would you prefer to potentially share a last name with Mr. Weber or Mr. Malph?

Has there ever been a legion-verse world called "Malph" ?

Has the Legion-verse ever needed one?

Does any -verse need one?

Does any -verse want one?

But! Can any-verse have one?

Is the Annie-verse allowed to have one?

Who makes that decision?

Wouldn't it be Daddy Warbucks?

If "Daddy" was so well-to-do, how come nobody in his reality could ever afford pupils and irises?

Didn't all of his "bucks" go toward the "war" effort?

Which war was he supporting?

Regardless of that, is war ever the answer?

Was it the Civ...er, War Between the States?

Could somebody call and see what kind of state our State is in?

Which State is that?

The State of Madness, perhaps?

Is that New Jersey?

Can a state be in another state?

Would any state want to take over New Jersey?

Aren't you underestimating the staggering drawing power of the Garden State?

What does the Garden State grow?

Does it grow anything besides suburban sprawl?

Don't they also grow New Jerseyites?

Shouldn't Kent know this, since he once claimed to have been there?

To Kent State?

But wouldn't that mean Kent Shakespeare is in reality Will Pfeifer ?

Have we ever seen Kent SHakespeare and WIll Pfeifer together?

If Kent Shakespeare and Will Pfeifer had a son together, would they name him "Will Shakespeare"?

And would he, in an act of rebellion, refuse to read and write?

If he did, would he qualify for writing modern comics?

Isn't their motto, "Kent read, kent write, Kent St.?"

What if he missed the deadline because he's still unpacking?

Whose question were you answering?

Does it matter?

Did you see that?

Are you seeing things?

Should I have my eyes checked if I'm not seeing things?

Doesn't it depend on if the things you are not seeing are not there?

What if I shelled out for a new lens prescription?

Have we gone on the conch standard?

What's the conch standard?

Don't you think that it would be like the gold standard but with the currency being backed up by seashells?

Do you think it will catch on?

Like "she sells sea shells by the sea shore" caught on?

Did Daffy Duck ever make it through that sentence?

Depends...was it wabbit season?

Isn't it always wabbit season?

Isn't it duck season?

Isn't it wabbit season?

Isn't it either wabbit or duck season?

What if it's Elmer season?

What's the bag limit on Elmers?

Doesn't Elmer Fudd think it's always wabbit season?

Didn't he once have a "wovwy weg of wamb"?

Do I dare ask what a "wamb" is?

Don't Elmer's l's sound like w's?

And doesn't that explain his fascination with Owivia deHaviwand?

And would his favorite LW poster be Ward Wad?

Isn't Ward Wad evewyone's favowite?

Wouldn't some people prefer Wance's reawm?

Wouldn't that be Wance's Weawm?

Do you speak Fuddish?

Are you asking if I have a speech impediment?

Wouwd'nt that be "impewdiment?"

Would that be characterized by a lack of pews?

Is that really a skunk over there, or is it just a black cat with a white stripe painted down its back?

Is there a french skunk chasing it?

Are skunks native to Europe?

Who'd want to admit to having skunks?

Is having skunks as much of a stigma as it was in the past?

Could the stigma ever really end?

Have you tried a tomato juice bath?

Would it be good for my complexion?

What type of complexion do you have?

Does it matter?

Do skunks have complexions?

Who wants to get close enough to find out?

Maybe a cat with a white stripe painted on?

Then why does the cat run away in every one of those cartoons?

Maybe she forgot the mission was to find out whether skunks have complexions?

Or was she intercepted en route and drafted into the Starjammers...?

(That one's for you, Stealth.

)

Is there a lack of skunks... of Space in space?

Who'da thunk there were space skunks?

Woulda monk've thunk of space skunks?

Would the monk be from the 21st century?

But what if that 21st Century Monk is secretly the 31st Century Skunk... of Space?

Aren't we all just alts of Nightcrawler?

Wouldn't that be funk-y?

Who's that white boy playing the funky music?

Can't white boys be funky?

Would Ted Danson have anything to say about that?

Does it matter if everybody knows your name?

Do you want telemarketers to know your name?

How would you like to save money on your long distance telephone calls?

Can you call me back at 555-PUKE?

When do you have dinner?

What should the punishment be for calling at dinner?

Wouldn't that start a war with India?

Wouldn't it be easier to just get rid of telephones?

Do you remember the days when they knocked on your door at dinner time?

Do you remember the fifth of November, the gunpowder treason and plot?

Do you remember the 21st night of September?

Since it's my brother's birthday, how could I possibly forget?

Wouldn't you forget if you got a bump on your head and developed amnesia?

Does that ever actually happen in real life?

Would you remember if it had?

Would you like to check my head for bumps?

What should I do if I also find head lice?

Will shampoo help?

Wouldn't lice prefer real poo?

Aren't you confusing lice with flies?

Can lice fly?

Are you attempting to create a tongue twister?

Can you play that with a spinner and a big floor mat with colored circles?

Doesn't that sound like fun?

Doesn't that sound like we might need a chiropracter if we play that?

Couldn't you just be the caller?

Should the caller be exempt from playing?

Can the caller still spin the spinner if they're tied into a gordian knot?

Should players take turns being callers?

Who you callin' a player, son?

Are you playin' a caller, dad?

Are you my son?

Would that be a surprise?

Wouldn't you be surprised?

Don't you think I'd be really surprized?

Do you care what I think?

Do you think that I care?

Do you think we could move on?

Wouldn't that have made a great sitcom?

Who should have starred in it?

Couldn't we have starred as ourselves?

Could it be a spinoff from "Chad and Diana"?

Did you know "Chad and Diana" is nowhere to be found on Wikipedia?

Are you saying that Wikipedia is not the font of all knowledge in the universe?

Can we find that answer on Wikipedia?

Haven't we already discussed the merits or lack thereof of Wikipedia?

Shouldn't we discuss if there is/was a real sitcom (or whatever) called "Chad and Diana"?

What if I'd rather watch a Western?

Can you pre-record it?

Can't everyone these days?

Was I the last one (May 2009) to get DVR?

Should I sheepishly admit that I still don't have one?

Saving money for better things?

What money?

Isn't that what you've been keeping inside your mattress?

Do you think I'd be foolish enough to keep my money there?

Is that really a denial?

Was it intended to be?

So what's it like, sleeping on wads of cash?

Is it more comfortable than sleeping on piles of gold coins?

How did Uncle Scrooge McDuck avoid getting a concussion from diving into his pile of gold coins in his money bin?

Aren't there alternate laws of physics in a universe where a talking mouse is about the same size as his pet dog?

Let alone a universe where a mouse has a pet dog?

And what's up with his friend (Goofy) also being a dog?

Are all dogs created equal?

Goofy wore clothes--could that be the difference?

Are you saying that nudists are not sentient?

If they were, wouldn't they be dressed?

Or are they just too busy thinking high thoughts to be concerned about clothing?

Isn't equating clothing with intelligence a rather culturally biased way of judging people?

Are there any other ways to be culturally biased while judging people?

Don't we all know that Legion fans are superior to non-Legion fans?

How am I to make a question out of such an obvious truth?

Can't you make a question by asking either Who, What, Where, When, Why, or How?

Why should he do that?

Did I ever tell you about the time my Mom was on The Who, What, or Where Game show?

Did she win?

Should I call her up and ask her?

Do you mean she never told you?

What else didn't she tell you?

Is she hiding from the IRS?

Is she even who she says she is?

Could she be...a spy?

Has she been shrunk to microscopic size and surgically placed in my ankle?

or been seen with Dick Cheney?

Or with Carmen Sandiego?

Is she the one the Bizet opera is about?

Wouldn't it be the other way around?

Which way would that be?

Every which way but loose?

Your mom knows Clint Eastwood?!?

So what's he really like?

After reading his Wikipedia entry , couldn't you say he really really likes women?

Doesn't he have a big gun?

How would I know?

Should we ask Sondra Locke?

Would she tell us?

Is she still bitter about the breakup?

could you ask her and find out?

Do you have her cell number or email addy?

Isn't that an assumption that she has either a cell phone or e-mail?

Don't most people have at least one, if not both?

Does the fact that the majority possess an object make it any less of an assumption that an individual is also in possession of said object?

Wouldn't the odds be especially high for a celebrity to have one or both?

Sondra Locke is a celebrity?

Is it accurate to call her a former celebrity?

Would it help to see her IMDB entry?

Any idea why she's been inactive for ten years?

Hadn't see been ill?

Why are you quoting yourself, BB? Wouldn't it be better to hit the edit button?

Maybe I just wanted it framed? heh, oops.

Could we consider his question to be art?

Based upon what standards of art?

How about Art's standards of art?

Art who?

Wherefor art thou, Art?

Is Garfunkel the Art of whom we speak?

Speaking of Arts, did you know Art Linkletter has been married to the same woman for almost 74 years???

What's their secret to (loooooooong-) lasting marital bliss?

Does a long marriage necessarily mean a happy marriage?

Might that at least be a fair assumption?

What if they're just waiting for the kids to die?

Could they be waiting for the kids to pay back the money they borrowed?

Could you loan (and by "loan" I mean give) me $20.00?

Will you give (and by give I mean take it off and gift wrap it) me your left shoe as collateral?

What will you do with the left shoe, Abin, if he doesn't pay you back?

Will you come with me to visit the amputee ward?

What do they do with the amputated body parts?

Have you ever met someone who acted like he or she was uncomfortable in their own body?

Are you suggesting that they amputate the parts they don't like??

What makes you think I'm suggesting anything?

Wouldn't the timing of your question about people not being comfortable in their own bodies--which comes right after Lardy's question about amputated body parts--lead to such a conclusion?

How do you know that they're not uncomfortable with their new body parts... Hmmm???

Oh, so you're talking about transplant patients, are you?

Would you believe me if I told you that?

Would it be rude if I said no?

Do you have a deep need to be polite?

Shouldn't we all be kind?

Is it possible to be Kind and Rude?

Doesn't that apply only in an emergency?

Is this an emergency?

Have Cobalt Kid's kids shown up again?

Should we man the harpoons?

You gonna harpoon kids for being polite????

Should we rather kid harpoons for being polite?

Wouldn't that be less messier?

Wouldn't that please you as Legion World janitor?

Did you think it wouldn't?

Is it all about pleasing Abin?

Why wouldn't it be?

Why can't it be all about pleasing me?

Do you really want me pleasing you?

Did that sound kinda unsavory to anyone else?

What do you mean by "unsavory"?

Wanna look it up and decide for yourself?

Wouldn't it be easier and more convenient to have you do my thinking for me?

Are you admiting that his thought processes are superior to your thought processes?

Would that be an admission of weakness?

So what if it is?

Shall we go ahead and declare myself superior to Quis, then?

Shouldn't we give Quis a chance for a rebuttal?

Has he had time to think of one?

Or is he being lawyer-like and requesting a continuance?

Can't we settle this like gentlemen, with a duel?

Swords or pistols?

Gentlemen or Pirates?

Governors' daughters or bawdy tavern wenches?

Can I have Bawdy Tavern Wenches for $50, Mr Bull?

But what would Pagan Lass think about that?

You gonna rat me out?

What do you have against rats?

Are you sure that "rat" is not actually a Siberian Hamster?

Have you ever hear the Mexican Rat story?

Who hasn't heard the Mexican Rat story?

Can you refresh my memory?

Can you refresh a rat's memory?

Are you calling me a rat?

Do you have a special fondness for cheese?

What does that prove?

Does it need to prove anything?

Then why ask about my culinary preferences?

Have you ever gained an insight into someone from what they put in their mouth?

Do you mean something edible?

or do you mean their foot?

Does a foot long sub count?

Have you heard you can get one somewhere for $5?

Where?

Are chips and a drink included?

Can I substitute a cookie for the chips?

Chocolate chip or oatmeal and raisin?

Don't you have any Parisian macaroons available?

Are we talking about Maxim's or Subway?

Does Maxim's have a $5 foootlong sub special?

Isn't anything better than Subway? (and what the heck is Maxim's?)

Do you want the whole list of places better than Subway or just the top 500? ( Maxims would be on that list)

Wouldn't Masa\'s be a shorter drive, though?

Is there a Quiznos in the neighborhood?

Isn't it kind of hot out for something that "toasty" ?

Can you request that your food not be toasted?

What if I've already finished lunch, though?

Can you get something cool to drink?

Have you got any nice, cold, non-corporate beers?

Would you settle for some non-corporeal beer?

Can a living person get drunk on non-corporeal beer?

Would you like to try?

What are the risks?

Could you get a virtual hangover?

Could you get a virtuous hangover?

What's virtuous about a hangover?

Wouldn't that be the part of the hangover where you say "Never again!"?

Wouldn't it be more virtuous to never get that drunk in the first place?

Where's the fun in that?

Can't you have fun without being drunk?

Is it easier to get drunk without having fun?

Yeah, but is it drunk to get easier without having fun? "HIC"

Could you repeat that?

Did Abin just out himself as a hick?

Are you ignoring my question?

Are you starving for attention?

Do either of you remember what the topic was?

(I sure don't.)

Wasn't the topic something to do with that bake sale we were having to raise money for Lardy's replacement hand?

Was there ever a topic?

Are you saying you want my new hand to be edible?

How did you draw that connection?

If Lardy lost his hand, how is he able to... y'know... do what he does best?

And what, exactly, might that be?

Your own sig provides the answer to that question, don't you think?

If so, doesn't it kinda answer your question?

Didn't we already have this discussion?

Could somebody lend me a hand getting the sale table set up while we continue the discussion?

What are you selling?

And is there a discount for LWers?

How much is the chocolate going for?

[mumbled through a mouthful of chocolate] Oh, it wasn't free?

Is everyone absolutely sure that's chocolate?

Why, what else could it be?

Did it maybe taste like carob?

Does anyone really like the taste of carob?

What does carob taste like?

Do you really want to know?

Why don't you tell us anyway?

Isn't the only true way to find out how something tastes is to eat it yourself?

Is that because taste is subjective?

Or is it because you really can't describe it?

Or is it because carob tastes halfway between really bad chocolate and really good cardboard?

Have you actually eaten really good cardboard?

Don't nine out of ten gerbils swear that there's no better eatin' than a really prime roll of cardboard?

Are gerbil taste buds to be trusted?

Should we taste a gerbil to find out?

Do you wish to volunteer?

Has he stepped out of the room so we can volunteer him?

Shall we do so?

Should we consult the gerbil as well?

er...what if it's too late to consult it?

Does it have a next-of-kin?

Should we just do a cover-up?

Do we need to do a cover-up if the gerbil doesn't have any next-of-kin asking after it?

Shouldn't we do a cover-up to keep the SPCA off our backs?

Shouldn't we be more worried about PETA?

Why don't we just vow to treat all gerbils humanely from now on?

Can you treat a non-human humanely?

Should we treat them gerbilly instead?

Where's the phone number of that animal communicator we hired last year?

Are you tallking about the Gerbil Whisperer?

Would that be Rodent Redford?

What about Gerbil Love Hewitt

Was that your big announcement at the Comic Con?

What's the connection?

Don't all things connect to Gerbil Love Hewitt?

Do you have an interest in female rodents?

Could you define "interest"?

Wouldn't the question imply interest of a sexual nature?

Why would you assume that?

Are you saying that such an implication wasn't intended in your original question?

Doesn't her question imply that?

Did somebody just actually answer a question or am I imagining?

Isn't answering a question within the rules as long as the answer comes in the form of a question?

Which question?

Shall I quote "That is the question!"?

Do you think it appropriate?

Is Quis ever appropriate?

Should we censure him for being inappropriate?

Who isn't inappropriate around here?

What is an example of something inappropriate you feel we're doing here?

Has anyone answer a question without a question, as that would be inappropriate?

Don't you recall that that once happened, up-thread?

In this thread or in the original?

Would you believe that I don't remember?

If I don't believe, does that mean you will remember?

If you don't believe, will FC cease to exist?

Shall we clap our hands?

Will that make the lights turn off?

Shall we try and find out?

Can I get a "hell yeah"?

Can I get anchovies with that?

do anchovies go with hell yeah?

Do anchovies go with anything really?

aren't anchovies magnifico in a putanesca sauce?

What's a putanesca sauce?

Is it a type of owned sauce?

Do you really own sauce or do you just rent it?

What do you do when the lease on the sauce runs out?

Is it a milk sauce or a prune sauce?

Isn't "owned sauce" neither milk nor prune, but figuratively what someone is covered with when he or she just got owned?

Does that figurative sauce leave stains on clothing?

Do you want some figurative club soda to get that stain out?

Can anything get out the stain of getting owned?

Selling the stain?

How much do stains go for these days?

On eBay? $100?

$100--do I hear $200--$200 for one owned sauce stain?

Would you settle for $150?

Could I see the cash first?

Do you have Paypal?

Would a penpal do?

Would a penpal do what?

Is your security clearance high enough for that answer?

Is your security clearance high enough for you to know if He Who Wander's security clearance is high enough?

Wasn't FC the secret financier behind the original Espionage Squad?

How large was the original Espionage Squad's Budget?

How much would you have needed in a future where comics only cost about fifteen cents?

Even if the future is deflationary, wouldn't any black ops group have an unlimited budget?

Could we have the black ops group pay to have a Legion comic book published with Paul Levitz as writer and Leonardo Da Vinci as artist?

Didn't Levitz long-ago retire to Europe so he could write snappy dialogue and cool captions for restored 16th Century frescoes?

Could our black ops group force Levitz to "unretire"?

If he's unwilling, could we clone him?

Don't those cloning experiments always go horribly wrong?

Do you think we could wind up with Stan Lee instead?

Are those really the only two options?

Can you think of another?

Um, Brian Michael Bendis?

Is that a good thing?

Are you channeling Martha Stewart?

Would Martha Stewart write the Legion?

Wouldn't she just have a PA do it for her and then take the credit?

Who got the longer prison term: Martha or Cham?

How can you compare lying to almost causing an interstellar war?

<strike>War Schmor</strike>

Have you seen what Martha charges for those stupid cookie cutters?

But was that what she went to jail for?

Martha Stewart started an interstellar war? And she's not housed in GITMO??

Wasn't she named to the Board of Directors of Halliburton for that?

Has she really lied enough for Halliburton to take her?

Is the quantity of the lies or the quality that matters?

Why can't we have both quantity and quality?

If you're that greedy, why aren't you working on Wall St.?

Doesn't that sound greedy? (Oh, right, we're talking about Halliburton.)

My posts have sounds?????

Have you had your hearing checked lately?

What did you say?

HAVE YOU HAD YOUR HEARING CHECKED LATELY?

Do you have to shout?

How else will Quis be able to hear me?

What makes you think he's listening?

If I shout loud enough, how can he ignore me?

Have youheard of anything Quis can't do once he sets his mind to it?

He hasn't killed the "Kill This Thread" yet, has he?

Was that an old school BURN on Quis?

Wasn't I simply trying to answer Abin's question?

Were you?

How's the hearing?

Are you trying to sell me something, like a hearing aid?

Are you interested in buying a hearing aid or something like a hearing aid?

What is "something like a hearing aid"? Isn't anything that aids your hearing a hearing aid?

Could "an extended warranty on your car" be something like a hearing aid?

I've heard of hills having eyes, but since when did cars have ears?

Wasn't that required under the Patriot Act?

Are you questioning the Patriot Act?

Shouldn't we all?

Do you want to be unpatriotic?

Whose definition of patriotism are we using?

Isn't it only a name in this case anyways?

Isn't it always?

Can't you think of an exception?

couldn't you think of one for me?

Shouldn't you think for yourself?

Who else could I possibly think for?

What about a Brainiac between 1 and 10?

Are you callin' me a Brainiac???

What?! You're green, ain'tcha'?

How come there was never a Coluan Green Lantern?

Who says there wasn't?

How come we never saw one?

Could it be beacuse they only protected Colu?

Wouldn't that be a very un-Green Lantern-like thing to do?

Should we consult the Book of Oa?

Isn't Sodam Yat using it to prop up a broken chair?

Who broke that chair?

Will anyone 'fess up?

Won't somebody's Mom get mad?

If she does, can't we just take her out to dinner?

How expensive a dinner are we talking about?

Who's paying?

Do you have any coupons?

Won't she want to be taken to the kind of restaurant that doesn't accept coupons?

Why don't you ask her?

What if she's still angry?

Why did you break that chair then?

Is that a leading question?

Am I a lawyer or not?

Isn't that why you have "Esq." at the end of your name?

Isn't it just a stylized way of saying he's like Quislet ("Quisletesque")?

Are you saying Quis lives in a mini spaceship?

You didn't know?

Did he have a mini spaceship warming when he moved in?

What if I prefer my mini spaceship cool?

You mean like the custom-decorated Chevy Van-- OF SPACE???!!!

Is there a '70s song about a mini spaceship?

If so, wouldn't it be Dr. Mayavale's theme song?

Is Dr. Mayavale known particularly for mini spaceships?

Does he have to be, in order to co-opt the song?

Well, is he particularly known for that song?

Have we established yet if such a song even exists?

Am I sick and wrong for envisioning this as an awesome idea for the live-action Legion TV pilot?

Would you like to set up an appointment to see Dr. Mayavale?

What if he's still angry about that lawsuit we brought against him in 1919?

Wasn't the karma balance restored when he named us as Communists to the 1954 House UnAmerican Activities Committee?

Did HUAC blacklist us all?

Did you name names or did you refuse to cooperate?

Why do you think I'm now a wanderer?

Because you forgot the way home?

Does he still have a home to home too?

Huh?

Did I miss a word?

Have you considered editing your post?

Would the last three posts still make sense if I did?

Do any of these posts really make sense?

Aren't most grammatically correct?

Has Cobie really been gone from this thread for that long?

Has Cbioe eevr pciripataed in tihs trehad?

Has Quis/Cobie just revealed his most secret Alt I.D.?

That we are all alts of Nightcrawler?

Aren't you forgetting I'm an alt of Harbinger?

Where's your alt been lately?

Hanging out with ctrl, maybe?

Where do alt & ctrl hang out?

At esc, maybe?

What's the big attraction there?

Escapist fantasy perhaps?

Was it all three together that were responsible for Zero Hour?

Is it fair to blame anyone for that fiasco?

Was that any more a fiasco then blowing up the moon and then blowing up the Earth?

How quickly do you need an answer?

Could you get back to us by Monday?

Monday Morning or Monday Evening?

More importantly, which Monday?

Unless otherwise specified, it's always the next Monday, isn't it?

Wouldn't you agree that that would just be an assumption?

Does that mean that any other Monday is fine?

Unless, would Tuesday be a better day for you?

Am I the only person who liked the fact that they blew up the Moon and then blew up the Earth?

Monday and Tuesday blew up the moon and the earth?

Should I be very afraid this Wednesday?

Don't you like Wednesday Addams?

Is she still around?

Is that a reference to how incredibly round Christina Ricci's forehead is?

Did you see the rest of her round body parts in "Black Snake Moan?"

Was that a remake of an old Tuesday Weld movie?

Which Tuesday Weld movie would that be?

Did you ever see "Sex Kittens Go To College (1960)"?

What was the plot?

What makes you think it had a plot?

If it didn't have a plot, why would anyone watch it?

Was something growing in it? Or was there a tombstone?

[Edit: I was responding to Arachne.

please hold on for the updated response...]

Why wouldn't they watch? Does so-called reality TV have plots?

Are there still reality shows on network TV, or have they all just migrated to YouTube?

If shows migrate to YouTube, do they become YouTubians?

What are they called if they don't have official documentation?

Would you say "illegal" or "anarchists"?

Why must we impose labels on everyone and everything, you control freak you?

Without labels, how would we know what's on sale?

Do we need sales if we switch to a barter system?

Could I get a Maine coon cat for two chainsaws?

Would you settle for a well trained cougar?

Do you mean like Marisa Tomei or Kim Cattrell?

Could I settle for both of them?

Will you still care for them after they've started to settle? [cough]

Will they live to be 64?

Will I live long enough to find out?

Shall I read your palm and tell your fortune?

Why would my tree know my fortune?

Is the tree part of your fortune?

Do you believe in fortune-telling trees?

Don't you think I'd like to?

What wouldn't you like to?

Could cutting down a magic tree be at the top of my list?

You don't want to be a tree murderer?

Aren't all of us comics-readers enablers of tree murder?

Do you think we should switch to papyrus?

Are ancient Egyptian comics as good as current comics?

and become reed murderers?

Did someone murder Reed Richards?

Would Doc Doom be a primary suspect?

Or could it be an invisible hand?

Are you suggesting his wife is involved?

Sue is "involved" with Dr. Doom????

Isn't FC asking?

How would FC know? Is she an accomplice?

Does she need to know?

Can she be a successful accomplice if she doesn't know?

Wouldn't an accomplice who didn't kow they were an accomplice (and thus unable to rat you out) be the best tpe of accomplice?

Do you think a woman with a chain saw could be that gullible?

Who should we get to ask her?

Should we nominate the next person who posts after me?

What if I don't want to ask her?

Shouldn't someone find out?

Who would be gullible enough to ask her?

Don't you think it would depend on the size of the chainsaw?

Isn't a small chainsaw just as deadly as a large one?

So size doesn't matter?

Are you a size queen?

Should I answer this question?

Are you looking for trouble?

What should he do if he finds it?

Is he an adventurous sort who would enjoy a spot of trouble?

Would someone who enjoys a spot of trouble be considered a masochist?

Is it bad if I am a masochist?

Isn't it bad to be bad to yourself?

Bad boys! Bad boys! What cha gonna do? What cha gonna do when they come for you?

Do song lyrics count as valid questions?

Didn't you just answer the lyrics with a question?

Ohmygod! Was there like a reason to you know, like point that out?

Why are you hurting my feelings? sniff

Are we feeling sensitive today?

Feeling who?

Is someone able to file a sexual harassment suit?

Feeling me??

Ohmygod, Like Mr Wanderer, is Mr Quizzy-Poo scareing you?

Now who would be scared of me?

Should we make a list?

Wouldn't my last post have made more sense if Quis hadn't posted first?

But wasn't it more fun the way it all played out?

Has it truly play out yet?

Does anything ever really "play out"?

Ohmygod! Aren't you even going to try playing it out?

What are we playing?

Scrabble or Pictionary?

Can me and sketchy be a team for pictionary?

Has "Sketchy" ever posted in this thread?

Truth and Justice shall Prevail!
(How could you be a team if he hasn't?)

Might not the offer of a game of Pictionary entice Sketchy in to posting on this thread?

Don't you think it would depend on who he was teamed up with?

Is Sketchy that particular?

Are we particular about which Sketchy, reboot, threeboot, or original?

Which one was reincarnated as the snake ("Snaketchy")?

Was there a Sketchy Prime?

Is Sketchy in his prime?

What if some of us like our artistes with a few extra miles on 'em?

Then won't you like the Sketchy of Earth II?

Will we be invited over to see his Earth II pad?

Is your dimensional transporter ready?

Isn't it safer and more carbon-neutral to use magic?

Ohmygod, Isn't that idea kind of like... Sketchy?

Are you suggesting that Sketchy is carbon-neutral?

Is he also helium-neutral?

We wouldn't want him to make a gas of himself, do we?

Could he be the newly retconned heir to the legacy of Sir Frederick Gas ?

Would that make him the Heir or the Air?

The Air Transparent, maybe?

Do you think that was punny or something?

Don't you?

Ohmygod, like do you have to be an airhead or some junk like that to understand that last joke?

What's not to understand?

Would you say you understand Everyday Girl?

Don't you have her number yet?

Have you tried the Yellow Pages?

Are Yellow Pages healthy for people in the GL family?

Don't they just use their power rings to make "calls"?

Ohmygod! Do I have a Power Ring?

Howcome nobody like told me?

Do you think you can handle the responsibility of a power ring, young lady?

How can you not trust that face?

Do you want the whole list or just the top 500?

Could we compromise, do 250 and then go out for coffee?

Anyone go for 175 and a cappucino?

Ohmygod, Don't you guys trust me?
{Pouts}

Have you given them any reason to?

Wouldn't a bribe do the trick?

Can somebody come up with $2.47 (U.S.) in change?

Will you take it in pennies?

How much longer will pennies exist?

What is the rate of decay for copper?

Should we ask a metallurgist?

Would it be easier to just write a cheque?

How much should I write the cheque for and what is the name of the metallurgist?

Could you write it for $10,000, and address it to my personal metallurgist, Cash?

How do we know you won't waste all that money on textbooks?

Since when are textbooks a waste?

Wouldn't they be a waste if they were out-dated, like a history textbook from 1918 or a science textbook from 1954?

Could we make a profit consigning them at the antique mall?

Do people really buy texts that old?

No, although people regularly want to donate old textbooks to the public library, saying they "can't bear" to throw books away, and one wonders, do they really think the library has any use for such materials or do they think that it's easier for librarians to throw books away?

Do you have any personal experience there, Rocky?

Truth and Justice shall Prevail!
(good or bad?)

What do you do with all those unwanted old books, anyway?

Couldn't they be used as doorstops?

Or recycled into collages ?

Aren't collages pretty?

Wouldn't that really depend on the subject matter?

What would you suggest for subject matter?

If we want the collage to be pretty shouldn't the subject matter be something pretty as opposed to something ugly like scenes from a meat packing plant?

Wouldn't a dog find the meat packing plant pretty?

Wouldn't that depend upon whether the dog came in the front door or the loading dock?

Ohmygod, like just where is this like hypothetical meat packing plant located?

Are you planning to visit it?

What would be the good of that?

Couldn't it be educational?

Couldn't you read a book instead?

Perhaps I should read Slaughterhouse-Five using the meat packing plant as inspiration?

When will your book report be finished?

Can't I just give an oral presentation?

Ohmygod, are you planning on like a smooth disertation with charts and graphs or are you gonna like just wing it?

What if I let inspiration seize me?

Would you press charges against inspiration?

What if he finds it attractive?

Ohmygod! What if he like asks it for a date?

Would that be a date with an angel? Or would a dromedary date be better?

As long as I'm dating Inspiration, can we refer to it as "her"?

Does Inspiration have to have a gender?

What if I like to date only one gender?

Weren't the muses all females?

Maybe the female muses had better PR?

Were they represented by Gibbs and Soell ?

Did they have PR firms 3000 years ago?

Isn't marketing commonly referred to as "the world's oldest profession?"

Doesn't that depend on what is being marketed?

Or who?

Ohmygod! Like what does that mean, Mr Shakyrear?

Can I vote for it having something to do with Earth-2 Kent's career in advertising?

Who is going to tabulate these votes?

What are you doing for the rest of the weekend, Sunny?

Are you offering me a paid position?

Are you willing to be paid in locally grown, organic produce?

Are you willing to pay for shipping the produce to the Midwest?

Couldn't we just use Cramer's teleporter?

Shouldn't we ask her first?

You don't think that she'd like a little extra produce?

Isn't it best not to assume?

Does everyone still insist on expecting the best of me?

Is that really a bad thing?

What if I crumble under the pressure?

Would your crumbs make a good cobbler?

What if you rise to the occasion instead?

Is cobbler even supposed to rise during baking?

Am I supposed to be a baker or something?

How would I know? Do I look like a baker?

Lardy, will you stop posting right before me?? Sheesh!

How much is it worth to ya, huh?

Will you take some of cleome's organic produce?

Maybe if you put some of it in a pie or a cobbler?

would produce really be suitable for a pie?

er, Deds, haven't you ever had a Hostess Fruit Pie?

Aren't those the things that super-heroes threw at super-villains to subdue them in one-page stories in the 1970s?

Yeah! Weren't they the best part of the whole comic?

Your comics included an actual Fruit Pie?

No, but was I the only one who ate the page the ad was printed on hoping it would taste like a Hostess fruit Pie?

Were you influenced by the Giffen-Bierbaum Legion issue with the edible cover?

Did anything you read about Matter-Eater Lad help you with consuming it?

Do we even know for sure that Lardy isn't an expatriate Bismollian?

Does Lardy dress in green spandex?

Do we really want to know?

Don't the terms of the restraining orders dictate that Lardy must inform all of us as to what disguises he is currently using?

Will a piece of paper protect you?

Hasn't it thus far?

What if he just decides to eat the paper?

Do restraining orders cause indigestion?

Does indigestion result in restraining orders?

Bicarb, anyone?

Extra fiber?

Less Chalk?

More Dry Erase?

Then how do you write on the blackboard?

Block Letters?

Would a white-board work better?

Does it ever?

Better than what?

Better Than Ezra, maybe?

Who is better than Ezra Pound?

Isn't poundcake better than Ezra Pound?

Awright, who's got poundcake?

Augh, did someone leave the cake out in the rain??

If we dry it out in the oven, then can we have our cake and heat it too?

Do we have to share?

Aren't you too late?
(wipes crumbs from face)

Didn't you just eat the picture of a poundcake Stealth left there?

Did anyone see the poison bait I left on the table?

yeah. I fed it to Gary Concord.

Were you too busy feeding Grape Boy (who, btw, is stuck in another dimension, last we heard) to answer with a question?

Isn't dissention in the ranks fun?

Is that what gets you off?

Why do you care?

Did you see my care face?

Has Lardy turned into a Care Bear?

How much of an improvement would that be?

Can perfection be improved upon?

Who are we talking about now?

Weren't we talking about me?

Were we saying nasty things?

Did you ever stop?

Should we get him lessons from Miss Manners?

Bah! What makes you thing she could teach me anything?

Maybe I like longshots?

Well, Miss Manners leads a double life and has all sorts of stuff in her basement dungeon, so maybe she COULD teach you a few things?

Why do you assume she'll be teaching me?

Maybe she'll give ya a good lay? (cuz it seems like ya need one...)

Would you believe it's because my mind's not quite as filthy as I pretend it is?

Why should I believe that?

Because she just did her Maxwell Smart impression?

When did she talk into her shoe?

Do you have a foot fetish?

Why would I talk into my shoe when I have a perfectly good shampoo bottle phone?

It was a Maxwell Smart impersonation, was it not?

Would you believe it wasn't?

Would you kill the light?

Is Maxwell Smart the only person who ever started a sentence with "Would you believe"?

Would you believe he made it famous?

Wasn't Mission Impossible a better show anyway?

But was it funnier?

Is that even debatable?

Aren't most things debatable?

Intentionally or unintentionally funnier?

Does it make a difference?

Wouldn't that also be subject to debate?

Do you want to enjoy Mission Impossible ironically or without irony?

What if I just want to laugh at it?

Wouldn't that be enjoying it ironically?

More of a scoff, perhaps?

Do I sound like someone who "scoffs" at things?

Would you believe, yes?

When did you become Maxwell Smart?

Was it around the same time you became a jerk?

Are you letting your Aligator Mouth write a check that your Hummingbird Ass cannnot begin to cover?

Were those analogies over my head?

Will a bear eat honey?

Does Zardi rhyme with Lardy?

Is there a point to this?

Was that too difficult a question for you?
