Answering Questions with Questions - Mark VI

Will this thread work?

Why don't you try it out and see?

Do I look like the try-anything-once type?

Are you sure that you really want an honest answer to that?

What would that honest answer be?

Where's Abe Lincoln when you need him?

Wouldn't he be where he has been for the past 144 years?

Exiled in the Phantom Zone?

Was that before or after he lent Zardi his hat?

Didn't Zardi steal that hat?

Are you implying that Zardi's really evil, and not just a great big blowhard?

Maybe he bought it on eBay?

Did the seller have a good rep?

Reputation or representative?

[interlude]
(I went back and checked, this is actually the sixth such thread. Title has been fixed)
[/interlude]

Isn't it pretty obvious which one it is?

Is it always the obvious answer?

When was the last time it wasn't?

Wasn't that obvious?

If it was obvious, why would I ask?

Isn't it obvious why you'd ask?

Because he didn't know?

Is there a course one can take to help improve one's grasp of the obvious?

Obvious 101, perhaps?

Why don't we switch to obscure for a day?

Which day will we be switching to obscure?

if we all know for sure, would it really be obscure?

Could you elaborate on that for me?

Does everything have to be spelled out for you?

How do you write words if you don't spell them out?

Would "badly" be the correct answer?

Isn't that the Cobalt school of thought?

Cobie has a school?

Is it The School of Debauchery?

What degrees are earned there?

Do you want a Masters in Debauchery?

Are you a dean at the school, Quis?

If not, why are you handing out degrees?

Can I have one?

Did you pass the final?

Well, does "F" stand for "Fantastic"?

were there four of them?

Why don't you count them?

Are your fingers broken?

Can we use toes instead?

What if we are wearing socks?

Aren't they removable?

Are the removal instructions on the bottom where he can't see them?

wouldn't my feet get cold?

Are they that complicated?

wouldn't Zardi think so?

How complicated can cold feet be?

Aren't you the expert on cold feet?

isn't that the cold shoulder in his case?

Aren't you the expert on honor and justice?

Or was that some other schlub?

Aren't you the patron saint of schlubs?

Do we really need all this petty name-calling?

Aren't you the guy who spends so much time on the Hannity boards? And you're bothered by this?

Is anyone else bothered by that duplicate post?

Since this thread got to the bottom of page one without follow-up, isn't that a definitive "no?"

Ohmygod, Like what duplicate Quango?

Do you see a duplicate?

Ohmygod, would I like ask if like I did?

Is there any reason you wouldn't?

Does Everyday Girl have any reason?

Shouldn't she take an occasional day off?

Day off from what?

Indolence? Or am I projecting here?

Projecting what?

Is this movie night?

Can we use your tummy for a screen?

Wouldn't all that hair ruin the effect?

Wouldn't it give it texture?

What if we just watched movies about werewolves?

Is there a movie about kind and gentle werewolves?

Do you mean gay werewolves?

Or maybe vegetarian werewolves?

Should I hide my rutabagas?

Is it considered untoward to leave them exposed?

Are we really talking about rutabagas?

Does that surprise you here?

Ohmygod, do you like get extra points for being surprised by a rutty-bagel?

How many extra points?

Ohmygod! Like how many do you need?

How many can you spare?

Ohmygod, Like what if I can't like spare any?

Then why did you offer them?

Did she think this through.

Ohmygod, Are you like implicating that I'm a like brainless bimbo-ette or some junk like that?

Are you?

Does she have to?

Ohmygod! Are Lawyers like bullet proof?

(Ummm... that's a like retorical question, I would never shoot Mr Quizzy-Poo, cuz he's like Miss Cali's Sugar Daddy and I don't want her mad at me. But...)

Are you lawsuit-proof?

Ohmygod! Does a Law Suit come with pants or a skirt?

Wouldn't it be obvious to you?

What's up with this Dev-Em vs. EDG bit?

Do I really have to answer that?

Can we hear more about the Quislet-Caliente alliance first?

Isn't that old news?

I've been offline since Tuesday--care to fill me in?

You expect anyone to keep this stuff straight?

Can't you just make up something convincing and hope that neither Quis nor Cali will have the time/energy to debunk it later on?

Are you suggesting that LWers lie?

Isn't "lie" such an ugly way to put it?

How would you put it?

Do you want it straight or sugar-coated?

Can I have it gay and aspartame-coated?

Isn't aspertame bad for you?

Isn't nearly everything bad for you, according to numerous sources?

don't they become good for you again in a few years?

So...everything's cyclical?

Isn't Time a great wheel?

Wouldn't you rather have a pinwheel ?

Can I have a peanut butter chocolate cookie instead?

Do you remember which one of us has Girl Scout Cookie Lass as an alt?

Who can keep track of alts?

Is trying to herd alts like trying to herd cats?

And do alts need their own litter boxes?

Who would change it?

Isn't real change only possible if it starts from within?

Does that mean I have to change my attitude in order to change my clothes?

Do you have a particular look in mind, or are you just restless?

What if I just want to look restless?

But not actually be restless?

Can we be Young and restless?

Paul Young or Lester Young?

Are they brothers?

Do they have the same mother and father?

Aren't all men brothers?

You mean we're related?

Is that certified and stated?

Do you wanna be sedated?

Are you trying to give me drugs?

Aren't post-a-thons drug enough for most of us?

Have you tried them with shredded green olives?

Can I have black olives instead?

What about the pimentoes?

Can I try one first?

Have you ever tried anything second?

What's wrong with second best?

Why not shoot for third?

Who really wants a bronze?

You ever tried a bronze pimento?

Is this the all-Bismolian thread, all of a sudden?

And that would be bad why?

Wouldn't it be rather exclusionary?

Would only Lash be allowed to post?

Is he the only Bismolian here?

Is that towel he always wears actually an authentic Bismolian flag?

Wouldn't that be desecrating the flag to use it as a towel?

Is it descration if he has it hung on his "pole" at full mast?

Couldn't Bismolians retire flags by using them as towels, rather than duplicating the U.S. custom of retiring flags by burning them?

Wouldn't Bismolians just consume old flags?

Even if they're trying to cut back on fiber?

How much fiber is in an old flag?

Could you eat one and find out?

Can I have it dipped in chocolate?

Ohmygod, Mr Quizzy-Poo are you a Bismollian?

Do you have to be a Bismolian in order to enjoy a nice chocolate covered flag?

Is that a euphemism?

What would it be a euphemism for?

Quis! What kind of question is That?

How many kinds of questions are there?

When did you become Quis?

Isn't there a little Quis in all of us?

Doesn't that sound a little too personal?

With almost 7,000 posts completed, isn't it a little late for me to worry about something like that?

How many posts does it take to start worrying?

Are you sufferring from Post-Traumatic Stress?

Do people who suffer from PTS go postal?

Do they have letters to send?

Is anyone driving by the post office on their way to work in the morning?

Is anyone working?

What is this "working" you are asking about?

Are you among the idle rich, Quis?

Would you prefer to be among the busy rich?

What are they busy doing?

Making money?

How much?

Once you're rich, does the number really matter?

Is it a musical number?

Could you hum the tune?

Shouldn't the hum be tuned, first?

Where's your knob to tune your hum?

Isn't that what his ears are for?

Are you saying Abin has big ears?

Hasn't he been mistaken for an elephant before?

Asian elephant or African elephant?

Don't African elephants wear pajamas?

Isn't that only if Groucho Marx is in the immediate vicinity?

Where's Groucho?

Is he in the grave-o?

Should we dig him up to see if he's there?

You dig doin' that kinda thing?

Did you happen to catch my name?

What's in a name?

Nam?

Flashbacks?

Was that gunfire I just heard?

Or a tailpipe?

Are you even allowed to park there?

Is it a no parking zone?

What does the sign say?

What sign?

Would you believe that I am a November Sagittarius?

Do you regularly lie about such things?

Was that the implication of his question?

Isn't the implication quite clear?

Is he saying you're a liar?

If I said it, would I still be implying it?

Do you expect me to decipher the intended meaning of your words?

Do you have anything better to do?

What are my alternatives?

How am I supposed to keep track of all of your alts?

Don't you have access to the elusive Master List of Alts?

Do you mean the real one or the fake one?

Isn't there a third that combines both that's written by Dan Brown?

Isn't he one of your alts?

Wouldn't I have more money in my bank account if that were the case?

Couldn't you have squandered it all on hookers?

Didn't I already pay you off for those pictures you have?

Can you ever stop paying for pictures like those?

Will I ever stop posing for them?

Do you want to?

Can you ask me again later?

Wasn't I asking Otie?

Were you, Edie?

Edie? Otie? Who's Hootie?

Don't you have a scorecard?

Who's keeping score?

Who's gonna score?

How many points do we need to win?

How far behind are we?

Can we ever catch up?

What do we win when we get there?

Is this one of those "everybody gets a trophy" things?

If so, does it matter if we "win"?

Does anyone ever really win?

Are you a nihilist?

What's the difference between a nihilist and a pessimist?

Is one more neutral and the other more negative?

Do they repel each other?

Don't opposites attract?

What do they attract?

Is it a kind of magic?

From a black magic woman?

Does it have to be a black thing?

Shouldn't you ask the editors at DC about that?

Is that a Blackest Night dig?

Who doesn't love this tour de force?

Can I watch a band tour instead?

Which one?

Do you have a favorite?

Should I?

Shouldn't you?

Why won't you open up to us?

Aren't we all an open-minded bunch?

Don't we all share from the heart?

What are we sharing?

Didn't you bring lunch for all of us?

What have you got?

Did we scare him away?

Who, me?

Wasn't it Dev's fault (as usual)?

Are you implying womething?

Quote

Originally posted by Dev Em:

What's a "womething"?

Don't you know?

Got a picture?

What's your e-mail?

Is it safe to just leave one's email out in the open like this?

Have you been spammed?

Who hasn't?

Would you believe me if I say that I haven't?

Why would you lie abouut something like that?

"Abouut?" "Womething?" Are people learning spelling from Cobie these days?

Waht r u Tlkanig aboot?

Is spelling like Cobie wroong? Could be my laptop keyboard being a little smaller than I am used to, don't you thinkk?

Are prolific, long-term posters like our own version of celebs-- in that we always fuss over their wrongdoing but in the end we always forgive them?

Gee, who's LW's Tiger Woods?

Wouldn't it be the womanizer named Cobalt Kid?

that depends...is he good at golf?

Does his putter peeter out?

Does Peter Piper pick a pack of pickled peppers?

Has Peter Piper been sticking his pickled peppers where Mrs. Piper doesn't approve?

If so, will Mrs. Piper powerfully plaster Peter a good one on his puss?

What is this poster's penalty for helping perpetuate this puerile persiflage upon this previously pristine page?

Exile?

As in listening to "Kiss You All Over?"

wanna make that song come true?

Aren't you married?

Aren't you Bi?

Does a bear s*** in the woods?

Does said bear need toliet paper?

Did you have to remind me of those nauseating Charmin commercials?

What happens if you DO squeeze the Charmin?

Haven't you ever squeezed any?

Were you as underwhelmed as I was?

Did you squeeze the right things?

What things were you squeezing, Dev?

Did you hug it and squeeze it and call it George?

Was Deddy spying on Dev?

If I were spying, would I be asking if he done those things?

Couldn't it have been so dark that you couldn't make out all the details?

Just how dark was it?

How could I answer that, given that I wasn't even part of the spy mission?

Why were you dropped from the mission?

[looks over at dedman]

Am I at liberty to answer that question, deds?

Why wouldn't you be?

Couldn't that information be classified?

Can't you just put it in a spoiler box?

Can it have bubble wrap?

Can I pop the bubbles?

You ready to fight to the death for that right?

Are you sure you are?

Isn't Lardy always ready?

Is it time now?

Time to bust a rhyme?

Would it be a crime to order it in lime?

Are you perturbed for being so absurd?

Must you endeavor to be so clever?

What other way would he be?

Didja really have to blow the rhyming sequence, Dev?

Just read the last one, did you think I meant to spoil your fun?

Isn't that your M.O.?

Is that your B.O.?

He who smelt it dealt it, right?

Can we stop all the insults?

Can't ya take 'em?

Isn't it better to give than receive?

Would you say that about the common cold?

And would the common cold be offended if you did?

Isn't the common cold rather inexpressive of its feelings?

Should we encourage the common cold to be more open?

To be more of a commoner?

Should the common cold be represented in the House of Commons?

Before or after the Common House Sparrow?

Does it have to be one or the other?

Would you bet on one side over the other?

What odds are you giving, GN?

Are they better than the odds Ventura has?

As head honcho of Ventura, wouldn't GN's odd likely be the same as Ventura's?

Is GN the head honcho of Ventura?

Haven't you read the http://www.legionworld.net/cgi-bin/ultimatebb.cgi?ubb=get_topic;f=4;t=004099 thread?

Who's gonna make me, huh?

Do I have to get rough?

Is that a promise or a threat?

Coulld you be more transparent?

Could I be less transparent?

What if you drank a bottle of ink?

How would that taste?

What goes with a bottle of ink?

Should we ask a yink?

What's a yink?

Doesn't a yink drink pink ink?

Y'think?

If I think, am I am?

Are you Sam?

Isn't he Quis?

Who wants to know?

Who wants to know what?

You don't know what?

If I knew what I don't know, why would I ask?

Are you being rhetorical?

Is THAT a rhetorical question?

Why are you shouting?

What? Did someone say something?

Couldn't I have been talking to myself?

Do you do that often?

What would qualify as "often" to you?

"When you said 'orphan', did you mean 'orphan' – a person who has lost his parents, or 'often', frequently?"

Why would I pronounce "often" as "orphan"?

Should you ask Little Often Annie?

If you say 'orphan' and I say 'often', shouldn't we call the whole thing off?

Do you mean end this thread?

Don't we need the approval of all participants first?

Do we govern by consensus here?

Wouldn't just one person continuing to post override the will of the majority to end this thread?

Couldn't a moderator lock the thread to prevent that?

Which moderator would be most likely to respond in a swift manner to our lobbying efforts?

Should we poll the moderators?

Is is really worth all the bother?

What if you reframe it as an educational experience?

Educational for whom?

Do we have to segregate things by whom they have educational value?

Hasn't segregation ended?

Have you asked a civil rights activist?

Have any of them visited Legion World recently?

Maybe some will come over from the DCMB?

How will we know?

Would you propose mercilessly grilling each new applicant?

How else will we find out what they know?

Couldn't we just have Security tail them home at the end of the posting day?

Does Security get paid overtime for that?

Shouldn't you be asking somebody in A/P or Personnel?

What's their number?

Don't you have a phone directory?

Did you burn it to stay warm?

Isn't it more efficient to wear warmer clothing?

Is it getting warm in here?

Are you warm for my form?

Could he be running a fever instead?

Like the fever for the flavor of a Pringles?

Does he have the fever in the morning or all thru the night?

Should somebody check on him?

Will you pay my airfare to Boston so I can?

Can't you send me the bill c/o the Phantom Zone?

Who delivers to the Phantom Zone?

PhantEx, perhaps?

Is that a real company?

You've never heard of them?

Does that mean they're not real?

Could it mean they are?

Are they a secret organization?

Shhh! Do you want to give them away?

What freebies are they giving away?

Why would they advertise that?

Wouldn't it be to lure customers in who will also buy overpriced stuff?

Are you supporting anti-capitalism?

Did I say it was wrong to lure customers in with free stuff in order to get them to buy other overpriced stuff?

Is it wrong?

Are those popsicles over there included in the "free" offer?

If you take one, can you also bring me one?

What flavor would you prefer?

What flavours are available?

Can't you just be happy with whatever you're given?

What did I get?

Can you wait until Christsmas?

Won't the popsicles melt by then?

Can't you freeze them?

You weren't serving them melted, were you?

What would be the purpose in that?

Maybe for a practical joke?

How practical are melted popsicles?

How 'practical' are any practical jokes?

Aren't they called 'practical' because they require some sort of praxis (i.e. action) for the joke to exist?

Is praxis Latin?

Why don't you ask him?

Didn't I just ask him?

If you don't know, how would I?

Weren't you listening?

Couldn't this whole debate be avoided if everyone learned ancient Greek in school?

Are there really enough teachers of ancient Greek to put that into place?

Could we substitute Latin instead?

Would learning Latin be enough to allow you to realize that praxis is not a Latin word?

Couldn't we learn Latin for the fun of it?

In the process of having fun, would we learn why people from South and Central America are called Latinos(as)?

Who says education can't be fun?

Wouldn't drop-outs say it's not fun?

Are dropouts' opinions of education credible?

What if I just want to know who's footing the bill for all these classes?

What if the benefactor wants to remain anonymous?

Couldn't he/she be outed?

What if the classes were contingent on remaining anonymous?

Is true anonymity even still possible in the post-Facebook age?

Can I quote you (the real you) on that?

What if I'm a stranger even to myself, though?

Then isn't it time to take a swim in Lake You?

How does one find Lake You?

Have you a map?

Does a GPS count?

Does it help you find the lake?

Isn't Lake You a metaphor of some sort?

Wasn't it obvious?

Then how could one find it on a map or with a GPS?

What if it was a metaphoric map?

Would a simile map work?

How about a figurative compass?

Is that used only for round figures?

BouncingBoya

Can we figure it out?

Are you any good at engineering?

Does having a model train set as a child help?

Does having a plastic badge and pop gun make a tyke into a cop?

Do you really think a tyke is going to pass the height requirement?

Is there a height requirement?

If there isn't, shouldn't there be?

How high would you set it?

Why does Quis get to choose?

Am I stopping you from offering your opinion?

Didn't you put a restraining order from opining on him?

Did the judge grant it?

Am I allowed to mention that part?

Why not?

Why ask why not?

Do I have to put another restraining order on you?

Who is forcing you?

Is the Force with me or against me?

Can't you read your own status?

Isn't your butt obscuring my vision of it?

Do I look fat in this thread?

Would "pleasingly plump" be preferable?

Isn't "pleasingly plump" just a euphemism for "fat"?

Isn't "pleasantly plump" nicer to say than "morbidly obese"?

But if you're morbidly obese and thus in a state of risky health, wouldn't you be better off if people where honest about it?

Could the definition of "morbid obesity" be totally distorted by charlatans who just want to sell more ineffective diet pills and dangerous surgeries?

Are you suggesting that the perfect, god-given "free" market economy could possibly be corrupted?!?

You callin' me a COMMIE ?

Isn't that the all-encompassing term for anyone who disagrees with Our Benevolent Corporate Masters(TM)?

Is Colonel Flagg of M*A*S*H* fame now moderating our board?

Did they have Internet access during the Korean War (or during the filming of M*A*S*H)?

Since the Internet was first used in 1969, wouldn't, at least in theory, have been available during the filming of M*A*S*H?

How many people outside of the military, the computer industry and a narrow wedge of academia would have been using what passed for the Internet back then?

Can I estimate?

Am I stopping you?

In the name of love?

Can love keep us together?

Is love considered an effective adhesive?

Doesn't love get sticky, when you do it right?

Is there an ointment for that?

If so, has it been FDA-approved?

Does FDA approval matter?

would you use a non-approved ointment?

Is there a black market for sticky love ointment?

Why is it called a "black" market?

isn't a black market extremely profitable? As opposed to in the red?

Don't the Reds hate markets anyway?

What does this have to do with baseball?

Isn't baseball often used as analogies for other things in life?

Is there a baseball metaphor for every important occasion?

Have you checked the National Baseball Metaphor Handbook?

Isn't that being replaced with the National Football Metaphor Handbook?

Is American football really football? Do they really use their feet any more than other (more interesting) sports?

Isn't whether there are more interesting sports a matter of opinion?

Isn't it obvious that's why I put the remark in parentheses?

Why would you think that would be obvious?

Do I have to dumb everything down for you people?

Did you think you were actually smartening things up before?

Aren't I allowed moments of self-delusion?

Is there an app. for that?

Isn't that what this board is for?

Making apps?

Eh..... What's app, doc?

Have we now been reduced to Bugs Bunny riffs?

Would you prefer Elmer Fudd riffs?

Can Elmer Fudd even play the guitar?

Shouldn't we have Yosemite Sam jam with ZZ Top instead?

Why ZZ Top and not The E Street Band?

Wouldn't he fit in better with ZZ Top?

Are you stereotyping him?

Have you ever heard Yosemite Sam jam?

Does watching Space Jam count?

Do you really want to admit that you've seen Space Jam?

Isn't it too late for that now?

Is it ever too late for anything, whilst we draw breath?

(added to Quis: a GF @ the time wanted to go)

Is that similar to Superman artists drawing him using his super-breath?

Is that an image you want stuck in your head?

wouldn't super bad breath be the worst thing ever?

Isn't describing a G-Rated image like that better than something pornographic I might be obsessed with (like, say, Superman teabagging Wonder Woman)?

haven't we come to expect the latter from you, Otie?

Isn't that his super power?

Don't you know I currently have NO powers, Miner?

Did you think I bothered to keep up with all the role-playing while I was gone?

Maybe I assumed the name change and tag line were enough to clue you in?

You don't know if you assumed it or not?

I knew what I assumed, but don't you realize I have to put it in the form of a question here?

But if you already know the answer, isn't that cheating?

Might he not want confirmation of the answer?

Does he really need others to confirm that he was assuming?

Aren't y'all assuming I needed confirmation?

Are you Catholic?

Since when are Catholic the only Christians who go through Confirmation?

Can you confirm what you mean, for the benefit of the non-Christians in the room?

Couldn't you have just looked it up on Wikipedia?

Isn't Wikipedia the work of the Devil, and thus unreliable on such matters?

Does Wikipedia have to be associated with the Christian devil in order to have its accuracy questioned?

What if he was talking about a pagan devil?

are pagans as likely to blame everything they don't like on a devil (even if they actually have a devil)?

Should we do a survey of pagans?

Can't we just rely on my experience with pagans?

Can we get Confirmation of your pagan experiences first?

Do we want to know the full details?

Should a Congressional commitee be formed for that?

Should a Congressional committee be formed for anything?

Aren't they formed for a LOT of things?

What kind of things do you mean?

Like for anything they feel like (including steroids in baseball)?

So should we really encourage more of them?

Don't they say "the more, the merrier"?

do people really say that about Congress?

Should we form a committee to find out?

Did OM just bring this full circle?

Isn't that OM guy brilliant at that kind of thing?

Does he toot his own horn?

Do you want to toot it for him?

Is that a euphemism for something sexual?

What isn't a euphemism on this board?

Is "board" a euphemism?

A euphemism for what?

If you have to ask, does that mean we shouldn't tell you?

Do you think it would be too much for him to take?

Should we take that chance?

Shouldn't everyone take a chance once in a while?

How often is "once in awhile"?

How often should it be?

Is there a one-size-fits-all answer?

Wouldn't that be too generic?

Do you really want to spend the extra money on just the brand name?

Wouldn't that be more fashionable?

Can we even be fashionable?

Wasn't Geek Chic fashionable at one point?

In what alternate universe did this occur?

Wasn't it the one in which MC Frontalot was elected president?

Or maybe the one with Prez?

Or maybe the one where comics sell in the millions?

does that mean we have to put up with Scott Lobdell and billions of unsold X-Men #1s again?

Wouldn't that be worth it to have a world where comics sold in the millions?

Can I think about that for a while?

How long do you need?

How long does it take?

How many roads must a man walk down, before you call him a man?

What if the roads lead to nowhere?

Don't all roads lead to Rome?

Does everyone really want to go to Georgia?

Did the devil go down to Georgia?

Do you mean Satan, Lucifer, or Beelzebub?

Aren't they all one and the same?

Didn't Lucifer become Satan, while Beelzebub is a different demon?

Wasn't Lucifer the Etruscan sun god before the Church co-opted his name for their devil?

What hasn't the Church co-opted?

Has it co-opted Islam yet?

Do you think it should?

Are they really going to give my opinion any weight, whether they do or not?

Why wouldn't they?

Did they listen to me when I advised them to respect indigenous cultures, or to keep out of both reproductive issues and little boys?

That was you?

Didn't he just say that it was?

Say that it was what?

Could you repeat that question?

Say that it was what?

Could you repeat that question?

Which question?

Do you really not know?

Would I have asked if I did?

Weren't you just asking to ask a question?

Why would you assume that?

What other choice does Quis have, given the title of this thread?

Couldn't I just simply ignore Kent and ask a whole new question?

Could you ask him where his surname vanished to while I was away?

Has anybody seen it? Can anyone help me remember where I left it?

Have you tried looking in the last place you remember having it?

Have you looked in England?

Can you buy me a plane ticket so I can go check?

Have you looked in a public library, around 822.33?

Does it always have to be the Dewey Decimal system with you? (

)

Is it my fault, Rocky, that I use the university library instead?

Aren't you ultimately responsible for the decision to enroll at the university, and thus to have access to the library?

Shouldn't the university accept some of the responsibility for accepting him into the program?

What university committee should we ask?

Which committee covers responsibility?

Don't they all point fingers at each other?

How many fingers am I holding up?

Would that be just the middle finger?

would cleome really flip you the bird?

What makes you think she wouldn't?

Wouldn't it be out of character?

Should we ask her?

Are you sure you want to ask her?

Can't we just wait for her to catch up on this thread?

What if she doesn't?

couldn't we just wander off to a new topic?

Has that ever happened before?

Could you review all the past threads to see if that happened?

What if I'd rather not get highlighter pen all over my screen, though?

You have a highlighter pen????

Doesn't every right-minded nerd keep one close at hand, for emergencies?

What sort of emergencies require a highlighter pen?

Those that don't require a Highlander sword?

Can there be more than one Highlander sword?

Shouldn't you be asking a sword maker?

Do all sword-makers cater to the Highlander market niche?

Wouldn't a sword maker be the most knowledgable even if they don't make Highlander swords?

Would a maker of Katanas necessarily know much about Scottish swords?

Isn't it a matter of civic pride?

There's a city of Katana-makers?

Shouldn't there be?

Wouldn't that be overkill?

Whose definition of "overkill" are we using here?

Wasn't Miner just making a sharp pun?

Should we trust Miner with sharp objects?

Why shouldn't you trust me with sharp, edged, potentially lehal objects?

Would the fact that you can't spell "lethal" be a clue to your inattention to detail?

Would that be the only issue?

Isn't it enough?

Why would one spelling error be enough on a board which has Cobalt Kid as a member?

Have you seen Cobie with sharp objects lately?

Has he left them in Cobie, Jr. crib again?

Again? Has he done it before?

Maybe he's shooting his own at-home version of Lone Wolf and Cub?

Isn't Cobie Jr. holding out for a better contract?

Would it help if he got an agent?

Do we have any of those here?

By "agents", are you sure he doesn't mean "black ops"?

Is there really a big difference when it comes to show biz?

Don't the black ops guys make less?

And don't their names get omitted from the credits?

Would you want to be credited with being a black ops?

Shouldn't one always be proud of one's work?

Are you the Chairman of the Serial Killers' Standards Society?

Who told you?

er, I mean: Where did you get that zany idea?

Where do any zany ideas come from?

Can't they all be traced back to Roy Thomas and Gerry Conway?

So were there no zany ideas before November 22, 1940?

Didn't one of the zaniest ideas occur on December 28, 1922?

Can somebody ask Quank, given that he was probably there?

Can Quis or HWW really assume that Roy Thomas hasn't merely retconned in all pre-1940 zany ideas into continuity after the fact?

Could we call Mark Waid to confirm that?

What's his phone number?

How should I know?

Can't you just use Facebook, like everybody else except me?

Why would I friend Mark Waid, just to get his phone number for someone else to use?

Would you prefer to waste Friday night doing something else?

What do you have in mind?

Couldn't we make Cobie take us out drinking?

Is Cobie allowed out now?

Can't we pull some sitcom-y shenanigans to trick Mrs. Cobie into letting him out?

Do those ever work?

With or without arrests?

Don't you think it might be Ma Cobie who needs a little R&R for a change?

Should we send her on an all-expenses paid trip to Ventura?

Would it be wise to leave Cobie all alone with the baby?

Couldn't Cobie take the baby out drinking with us?

What if we drew straws to see which one of us had to stay at Chez Cobie and babysit?

Can we do "One Potato, Two Potato" instead?

Are the dieters okay with potatoes?

Do they have to eat them if they lose?

Is there a dieting mod who can give us the relevant details?

Would they be found in the Dieting thread in Anywhere?

Have you checked to see if they're logged in just now?

Why should OM do all the work?

What are we paying him for?

What are you paying me for?

What are we paying him with?

Would beads and trinkets be suitable currency?

Does he own an island?

Didn't we <strike>swindle</strike> buy it from him with beads and trinkets?

How many beads and trinkets does one need to purchase an island nowadays?

Do I look like a Realtor?

Does it matter, if you have a willing dupe?

What did you just call me?

Do you really want to know?

Are you going to take that from him?

What is that?

what's he offering?

A virgin sacrifice?

As opposed to an amatuer noun?

Don't you just hate it when people edit their posts?

Huh! What the heck?

What's Don Heck got to do with this?

Has Non Sequitor invaded this thread?

Who?

First base?

What?

Second base?

Should we continue along the lines of that old joke or find some different old joke?

Do you have a suggestion?

How about something involving a priest, a giraffe and a bartender?

I don't think I remember that one -- can you refresh my memory?

Rather than that, can I backtrack a little bit with this link?

What if we say no?

Forsooth, who would refuse the bard?

Can it wait until I can get my Cliff Notes down from the attic?

Aren't Cliff Notes on line now?

Would that just be a smaller screen?

Do you have your reading glasses handy?

Why do you assume he needs them?

Doesn't it fit his lawyerly image?

Did Perry Mason have reading glasses?

was he a real lawyer, or just a fictional character?

What lawyerly image?

How many lawyerly images do you have?

And are they for sale?

Are you a lawyer groupie?

Is there such a thing as a lawyer groupie?

are you feeling like you're missing out on something?

Is "missing out" intended as a play on words here?

Could a cigar just be a cigar in this case?

Isn't this a no smoking zone?

<cough> <cough> Do you have a light?

Is it really that dark out that you'd need one?

Is this dark or dense smog?

What time of day is it?

don't you have a watch?

Aren't watches passe now?

Isn't that exactly why you would have one?

Would he wear a dated cultural reference?

Isn't everything that's old new again?

Is Quis cool enough to be retro, or is he just passe himself?

Wouldn't be presumptuous of me to answer that question?

Should I answer it for you?

Could you?

Don't you think he is able to speak?

Since I've never met him in real life nor spoken to him on the phone, how would I be able to guess what his speaking abilities are or are not?

Wouldn't a guess hinge on not having that knowledge in the first place?

Who are we talking about again?

Does it really matter?

Are you going all angsty nihilist again?

Is it cheaper to fly angsty nihilist than to fly coach/economy?

Wouldn't "Angsty Nihilist" be a low-cost carrier?

Don't they operate at a loss?

Does it matter, if you can score a cheap trip?

What is the destination of an angsty/nihilist flight?

Would it really matter?

Wouldn't it matter when you are trying to book a hotel room for your destination?

Would someone flying "Angsty Nihilist" bother with conventional hotels?

Wouldn't they try, just to prove to themselves that the hotels are all booked up or too expensive?

Are all hotel rooms too expensive?

Do you need them to be cockroach free?

Can I bring my own traps?

Can I borrow one?

Can't you buy your own?

Does he have any money?

Is it possible I forgot?

Don't you know for sure?

Can we ever truly be sure of anything?

Um, did you check your wallet?

Don't you think I would have checked there first?

Did you go through all your pockets next?

Did you go through all my pockets, especially of the pants I am wearing now?

Are these your credit cards?

Where did you find those?

Is it really that important?

Should I just be happy to have them back?

Who said we were giving them back?

How much groveling do I need to do?

Who are we to set limits on your hobbies?

Aren't we the guys who have his credit cards?

Where should I sit while you decide my fate?

If we have to decide that, too, won't it just take longer?

How about I use the cards you return to me to buy us all breakfast?

What if they've been maxed out?

If so, couldn't we sell him into slavery to pay our breakfast tab?

How do I get into these messes?

Isn't it from making the pivotal mistake of trusting us?

Who should I trust?

Would you trust me to tell you?

While you're deciding, Matt, could you sign this credit card app for me, and fill in your Soc-sec number?

Kent, are you swiping pens from the bank again?

Does he do that often?

why do you think you can never find a pen at the bank, unless they're on those little chains?

Is that why those chains are there?

Grimbor runs a bank?

Would Charma handle the loans?

So, their bank only lends to dudes, huh?

or to women who like greying guys who were chains?

Could this bank do any worse than some of our current ones?

Whose turn is it to be Bailout Kid this week?

What if nobody wants to be?

Do you still have those straws you'd been saving?

Was I supposed to be saving straws?

If not you, then who?

Were you looking for Me?

Isn't it northeast of NH?

Have you taken your meds today?

Wouldn't a good walk in the park be better?

Is there anything I should pick up, so long as I'll be out anyway?

Don't we need more Post-it notes for the Monitor Board?

Has Rody been eating them again?

Isn't that what they're for?

Can't you think of any other use?

Can't one make a mosaic using various colors of post-it notes?

Can we re receate "Starry Night" as a mosaic

Any particular reason for "Starry Night"?

Would you rather recreate "The Scream"?

Wouldn't "A Sunday Afternoon on the Island of La Grande Jatte" be a better painting to recreate using various color Post-its?

Any reason besides the obvious why you would suggest that one?

What's obvious about it?

wouldn't any pointilistic work like "A Sunday..." be an obvious choice for a post-it note mosaic?

Has anyone asked the LMB Comptroller whether we've got enough in this year's budget to pursue such an ambitious project?

Can't we just print more credits?

Won't that jjust lead to rampant inflation?

would a few dozen packs of post-it notes really impact the LW economy so severely?

Have you seen the price of Post-its lately?

How much are they?

How much are you willing to pay?

Who said I'm the one paying for them?

You're not thinking of shoplifting them, are you?

Can't I just charge them to Quis' account?

Didn't you hear that I closed out my account?

Once the mega-corporations have your SSN, can you ever be really sure your accounts are closed?

Isn't it a good thing that I used your SSN?

Maybe we could consider making our own post-it-like product, using the papers that Kent's office hasn't shredded yet?

Are there any papers my office hasn't shredded?

Have you checked your secret files?

Why should I tell you?

Do we have any other attorneys on retainer?

Don't you trust my legal advice?

Have you ever steered me right?

Don't you always want to go left?

isn't that the way to go?

Doesn't that depend on where you want to go?

Wouldn't he get there eventually anyway?

Is that from one of those Paint Your Wagon scenes that was left on the cutting room floor?

Does Lee Marvin sing in it?

Do we really want to hear Lee Marvin sing?

Who's Lee Marvin?

Haven't you ever seen The Dirty Dozen?

Do the kids today even go to movies?

Would one actually go to the movies to see Lee Marvin? Wouldn't one be much more likely to see Lee Marvin movies on TV?

At this point, wouldn't one be almost as likely to see one on one's computer?

Would you really want Lee Marvin hanging out on your computer?

Mightn't he scare away some hackers?

Does anything really scare away hackers?

Do you know any to ask?

Do I look like someone who has hackers as friends?

Aren't you someone who has all sorts of friends everywhere?

Are you trying to give me a swelled head?

Wouldn't a swelled head be painful?

Is pain the price of knowledge?

Can we haggle the price?

What's the starting offer?

Are you sure that just exercising the "Buy It Now" option wouldn't be better?

Can I get the knowledge on layaway?

Does anyone still offer layaway plans?

Have you checked the newspaper ads?

What's a newspaper?

Would you like to borrow my dictionary?

*HIC* Izzat where ya keep yer booze? *HIC*

Has Abin been drinking too much?

Is there an agreed-upon definition of what "too much" would be?

Do we ever agree on anything here?

Do we need to build consensus or will a simple majority vote count?

Isn't mob rule our usual method of getting things done?

Do you think we're even that well-organized?

You mean the mods have been lying to me all these years?

Were they outright lies or misdirection?

Which do you think is worse?

Can't they be equal?

Don't you need a definitive answer?

Can you get a definitive answer in a dialogue consisting entirely of questions?

Isn't that half the fun?

What's the other half?

Getting there?

Im sorry, where?

Does it matter where?

Are we going in circles?

Are we flying so high like a bird up in the sky?

Are we asking about now or earlier?

Does anybody really know what time it is?

Which time zone are you in?

Does anybody still wear a watch?

Don't most people get the time off their cell phones these days?

Aren't watches a more fashionable choice?

Do you prize fashion over efficiency?

Am I at work or home?

Can't you work at home?

Where's the fun in that?

Can't you find fun in most everything?

Can you find fun in getting root canals, or doing your taxes in a year when you know you're going to owe lots of money?

Didn't I qualify the question by using the word "most"?

Is sarcasm really necessary?

Without it, wouldn't "Sarcasm Kid" just be "Kid?"

Does he have any other words he would like to describe himself?

Why not leave it for him to decide?

Do you think he will?

Do I really need to spend time worrying about it?

Would you rather worry about something else?

Do I have to worry about anything here on Legion World?

Isn't worry a voluntary disposition?

What if it's an uncontrollable symptom of depression?

What if it is just gas?

How do you spell "relief"?

Can't you just read it off your post?

wouldn't that be too easy?

Are we that lazy?

What do you think?

Do you really want to know what I think?

Do I get paid to listen?

Couldn't you just eavesdrop for free?

Wouldn't he rather be paid?

How much do professional eavesdroppers make?

Can we listen in on them while they talk shop, and find out?

Wouldn't that run us a foul of the union?

if they have a union, couldn't we just ask it what the prevailing wage is?

Do you have to join the union to find out?

Isn't there a union rep here we can ask?

How would we recognize him?

If we talk about him/her long enough, shouldn't he/she eventually overhear?

Why does Matt assume that a union rep is a "him"?

Maybe they know one another from some other message board?

Maybe Matt is the union rep?

Is Matt holding out on us?

Would it be the first time if he were?

Do you know something we don't, Miner?

Doesn't Miner know lots of things we don't know?

If not, why do we keep asking him questions?

Is asking Miner questions an obsessive compulsion?

Even if it is for you, does that mean the rest of us all have the same motivation?

Obsessive compulsive behavior? On the internet?

Is it remotely possible?

How often have I said to you that when you have eliminated the impossible, whatever remains, however improbable, must be the truth?

Gave you ever said that, or are you just ripping off Sherlock Holmes?

Do you mean "have" and not "gave"?

Isn't it obvious I meant "Have?"

Then why didn't you type "have"?

Does one geed a reason for typos?

Didn't I mention elsewhere that I'd had a few pints, Quis?

A few pints of what?

Weren't you paying attention?

Do any of you ever pay anything?

What business is it of yours?

Did you say something, Zardi?

Why should I put up with the insufferable boorishness of this place?

Who's stopping you from leaving?

Should I not be stopping Zardi from leaving?

Are you kidding?

Did he seem like he was joking?

Does Zardi even have a sense of humor?

Should we tell him a joke and find out?

What manner of joke were you considering?

Does he know more than one type?

Would you want to try some physical humor?

How would physical humor even work online?

Aren't you afraid to find out?

Do you think I'd actually put myself at risk over this?

How am I supposed to know?

Is there a Titanian or Hykraian in the house?

If there were, would this thread even exist?

Who's to say?

The topic starter?

What if the topic starter wanted to keep it secret?

Then why would Rocky start the topic?

Why not ask Rocky?

Is he online?

If he's really a telepath, would it matter?

Might he have better things to do?

Where are his priorities?

Could they be musical in nature?

How would we know?

Couldn't we ask him?

Is he online?

What's on second?

Could third be on second in a spacetime collapse scenario?

Has the spacetime collapse happened already or will happen or both?

How would I know?

Weren't you there?

Why didn't I notice?

Too much birthday cake?

Could that cause memory loss?

What memory loss?

Who are you?

Should I know any of you?

Don't you remember that night in Paris with me?

I've been to Paris?

Could you pay me back the thousand bucks you owe me?

I wonder what I did with it?

Don't you remember that night in Paris with me?

Did you spend it all in Paris?

Would that have even been enough?

In Paris, France or Paris, Texas?

Which is the more expensive one?

Why don't you give me two grand plus travel expenses, and I'll find out and report back to you?

If I had two grand, wouldn't I do it myself?

If you had two grand, would you really go to Paris, Texas?

Wouldn't it be a nice change of pace?

Can you think of nicer changes of pace?

What do you have against Paris, Texas?

Why do I have to have something against it in order to desire to spend my vacation elsewhere?

Why would anyone want to go anywhere else?

Where else would you suggest?

May I suggest the lovely town of Dildo, Newfoundland?

Are you looking to be charged with harassment?

Does anybody want to be charged with harassment?

Do you mean "charged" in the legal sense?

Aren't I a lawyer?

Couldn't he have been referring to your magnetic personality?

Aren't you all being unfair to the good people of Dildo?

Can you vouch for their overall goodness?

Didn't Deddy already do so?

But what if they just threatened to enroll him in the Seafood-Of-The-Month Club unless he helped suppress the truth?

Don't you just love Seafood-of-the-Month club?

Would you ask Charlie the Tuna that question?

Wouldn't Charlie the Tuna love to belong to such a club?

Would they even let him in?

Isn't that why he would love to join?

Can we even know the workings of a mind like Charlie the Tuna's?

Is there a tuna psychologist on board?

Why is there never a tuna psychologist around when you need one?

How much does the job pay?

Do you want to know in dollars or in clams?

Do we have enough butter, garlic, and French bread to go with the clams?

Should I run to the store?

couldja pick up some wine while you're there?

What kind of wine?

what has the highest alcohol content?

Wouldn't that be Absinthe?

Is there an Absinthe Lite?

Could we make some money producing some?

Do we have a competent packager and promoter, er, on tap?

Should we advertise for one?

Where does one advertise for a competent packager and promoter?

Is there a site called competentpackagersandpromoters.com ?

How could we be sure the site's title is accurate?

Should you try typing it?

I meant, how can we be sure that the packagers and promoters who advertise there really are competent?

How do you measure competency?

Who here would be qualified to do that?

Is anyone certified to measure competancy here?

What kind of test would you have to pass to be certified?

What credentials does one need in order to certify competency?

Does anyone have a certificate?

Does being certifiable count?

Who should we ask?

Didn't I just ask you?

Ask me what?

Can't you hear?

Where are those voices coming from?

Have you checked under the stairs?

What if I don't have stairs?

Have you checked under the couch?

Nothing there. What next?

Maybe you should check your closet?

Haven't I come out of the closet?

What were you doing in my closet, Quis?!

Is it roomy?

Can one rent it?

How many pairs of shoes will fit in it?

Why all the sudden interest in my closet?

Don't you know how hard it is to find good apartments nowadays?

Have you tried rent.com?

Is it better than hewhowandersclosetspace.net?

Are closets all you consider when looking for an apartment?

Should I think about bedrooms too?

Where else do you plan on sleeping?

Isn't that a personal question?

Not if you're planning on sleeping somewhere other than the closet, don'tcha think?

Do I need to plan everything?

What if I just stash my stuff there?

How much stuff to you have?

Do you have stuff to give away?

Why wouldn't I sell it instead?

Is it worth anything?

Have you had it appraised?

Why wouldn't you take my word for its worth?

Is that good business practice?

Wouldn't it be good from my point of view?

Aren't there other points of view to consider?

Why would I want to consider them?

Don't you believe in fair trade?

Don't you want to broaden your understanding of the world?

Wouldn't it be better if the world broadened its understanding of me?

Why would the world care to do that?

Wouldn't it be easier?

Is he a king or other type of royalty?

Does royalty guarantee that one is worth understanding?

Are there any guarantees at all?

Can you guarantee that there aren't?

Can anyone really guarantee anything?

Doesn't it depend on many factors?

Does anybody really know what time it is?

What about if I guarantee that at some oint in time you will die?

What is an oint, and what is it doing in time?

Are you out of time?

Are you out of oint?

Is that good with mustard?

Do you have ketchup instead?

Is it edible?

Are you hungry?

Whattaya got?

What are you in the mood for?

How about an oint?

Do you want that Oint Tartar or Oint Flambe?

Which one is trendier at the moment?

Chicken cordoint bleu?

Aren't Oints endangered species?

Do they have protected status in the govointment?

Doesn't eating them in large numbers affect the envirointment?

Doesn't everything affect the environment in one way or another?

Isn't that just a scare tactic of the envirointmental lobby?

Would an environmental lobby be one that is decorated using recycled materials and powered with renewable sources (in a green hotel, perhaps)?

Would you want to spend any time in one of those?

Would you rather go to one of those hotels made entirely of ice?

Are those my only choices?

Are you really allowing Quis to define your choices for you?

Isn't he the Theadslayer?

Which is more prestigious, Threadslayer or double Time Trapper?

Shouldn't you ask that again once you make triple Time Trapper?

Didn't Gary agree to zap his post-count once he reached 29,000?

Why are you making Gary look so mean?

What's so mean about it?

What if the zapping backfires and we all end up double Time Trappers?

Would that be a problem?

You mean for me, or for the boards as a whole?

Who put a hole in the board?

Who put the 'traitor' in 'administrator?'

Wouldn't that make it "administraitor"?

Maybe just shorten it to "admin," for the sake of brevity?

Are administrators ever brief?

Have you, hereafter known as the party of the first part, ever compared, likened, equated, matched, differentiated, or distinguished administrators, hereafter known as the party of the second part, to, but not limited to, lawyers, attorneys, advocates, barristers, or counsel, hereafter known as the party of the third part?

Could you say that in English?

Is that Old English or Modern?

Better Yet, could you say that in a vacuum?

Who'll stop the world and melt with me?

(Or at least run the vacuum over the drapes, as the case may be...?)

Have you seen the changes, and is it getting better all the time?

Are you always second best?

Second best to whom?

Don't we all compare ourselves to someone?

Who do you compare yourself to?

Aren't I unique?

Are you saying you're beyond comparison?

Who are we talking about?

Who should we be talking about?

Do you have any siggestions?

Would it be improper for me to suggest that you all shut up and quit asking these stupid questions?

Do you think we will pay any attention to you if you said that?

Didn't you just respond to him?

Why are we paying him any attention?

Did you mean Zardi or Quis?

If I say Zardi, will someone throw a pie at me?

Why would someone waste a perfectly good pie that way?

Does everyone like pie?

Do you want to create a poll to find out?

Do you think it's worth the time for either of us?

What do you mean "us", Kemo Sabe?

Doesn't "us" mean the same thing to everyone?

Do you want to create a poll to find out?

Are you obsessed with polls?

Do you think it's worth the time for any of us?

How much time does it take?

How are we measuring time?

How do you normally measure time?

Do you have a stopwatch?

Would an hourglass do?

Are these the Days of Our Lives?

Do you watch that show?

Shouldn't I be answering that in the Confessions thread?

Why can't you answer that here?

Is it a secret?

Can I claim temporary amnesia?

Would that change anything?

If I had a time bubble, could I change my allegiance to Edge of Night? NightGirl

What would you be changing your allegiance from?

Did you enjoy Edge of night as much as I did?

What if I like "Edge of Seventeen" better?

What does Stevie Nicks have to do with supernatural soap operas?

Aren't white-winged doves frequently seen in quasi-supernatural settings (ie-- magic shows)?

Isn't the history of Fleetwood Mac supernatural in its soap opera quality?

Are you suggesting Lindsey Buckingham is not of this earth?

(could you please ignore this question, as it appeared out of sequence?)

Doesn't "Go Insane" prove it?

What super-powers would the natives of Buckingham possess?

The ability to write and produce hit records while making their bandmates insane with their creative demands?

Would being able to ingest cocaine in record quantities and still stand up count as a super-power?

Which ones don't they possess?

The ability to keep the Nicksians satisfied?

Is that even possible?

What kind of satisfaction are we talking here?

Being taken by the wind?

Where will the wind take me?

Do you want the whole list or the top 500?

Could you send it as an attachment?

can I do a virus scan of it first?

which virus scan program do you use?

Which is the most effective?

Have you heard of Norton's Anti-Wind Destination Utilities?

Does it help with airborne viruses?

How does one get an airborne virus in one's computer?

Dunno. But with "Anti-Wind" in the software's name, wouldn't that be a reasonable conclusion?

Is there anything reasonable about viruses?

How would one find out?

Do viruses have to be reasonable for conclusions about them to be so?

Can there ever be a conclusion regarding viruses?

Is that because they keep mutating?

Do they have secondary mutations?

Are the New Mutants a secondary mutation?

Are you saying they aren't as good as the X-Men?

Can't "secondary" mean "less important" or "came later"?

Which do you think I meant?

Can't you just tell us?

But then what would happen to his "International Man of Mystery" rep?

Isn't that kind of damaged by now, any way?

Does he actually have that rep?

Should I not be accepting P.R. as actual truth then?

Who is handling Matt's P.R.?

Austin Powers?

A fictional secret agent is handling Matt's P.R.?

Perhaps it's fictional P.R.?

Has anyone told Matt?

Shouldn't that be the job of his PR agent?

Why would a fictional P.R. agent incriminate himself?

We wouldn't want him to incriminate anyone else, would we?

Can you think of any reason we wouldn't?

Do you enjoy strife for its own sake?

Was Camus wrong to suggest we imagine Sisyphus happy?

Who could be happy with a name like "Sisyphus"?

Can you imagine what the other kids at school must have called him?

He would have gone through hell, wouldn't he?

Do you really think that all kids are that cruel?

From my personal experience, this is a no-brainer, isn't it?

But did we all have your experienes?

Do you trust philosophers?

How far can you throw one?

How heavy is the philosopher?

How heavy are Hegelian dialetics?

Wouldn't an application of the concept of "heaviness" to Hegelian dialectics reveal the inadequacy of the very category, thus leading to the attempted application of an opposing category?

Can I wish Hegelian dialetics to be heavy with a Cosmic Cube?

Don't we all wish that?

Aren't their better things to wish for with a Cosmic Cube?

What would you do with a Cosmic Cube?

What wouldn't I do?

Don't you know?

Is the Cosmic Cube this year's Klondike Bar™?

Does the Cosmic Cube taste as good as a Klondike Bar?

Have you consulted Zagat's Guide to Cosmic Phenomena for assistance?

Is the taste of a Klondike Bar considered cosmic phenomenon?

Do you think I write for Zagat?

Would you like to?

How many more times do I have to submit my resume before they look at it?

Are you really interested in the answer?

Is the answer blowing in the wind?

Is the wind that strong?

Have you consulted the Weather Channel?

Will it listen to what I have to say?

Does anyone?

Am I not worthy of anyone's attention?

Are you hoping that the wind's name will be changed from "Mariah" to "Chief Taylor"?

Doesn't Chief Taylor's name usually come up whenever someone breaks wind?

Don't I usually get blamed for the transgressions of others?

Well, shouldn't you be happy that you're at least getting *some* attention?

How do you solve a problem like Chief Taylor?

With a sensual misunderstanding?

That doesn't involve man boobs, does it?

Doesn't it always come back to moobs with me?

Just where had they gone before they came back?

Wasn't that the crux of the sensual misunderstanding?

How many Security Officers were tied up due to "The Case of the Missing Moobs"?

How many Bothans lost their lives?

Were the Bothans at war with the Eitherors?

And were both at war with Lardy's moobs?

Has my Star Wars reference fallen on deaf ears?

On a message board, can no one hear you scream?

If a server crashes, does it make a sound?

Did the server crash?

Was anybody hurt?

Do we have any aspirin?

Do you have a headache?

Are headaches a sign of weakness?

Do you think I'm going to judge you based on a headache?

Just how judgemental are you?

And what criteria do you use?

Wouldn't you like to know?

Wouldn't you like to tell me?

What good would it do me?

Have you pondered the possible merits of altruism?

Do you think altruism is a dated concept?

A concept can be made of fruit?

Have you ever made a fruit sculpture?

One that looks like altruism?

Don't most attempts at altruism go pear-shaped anyway?

Isn't it more traditional to sculpt ice, rather than fruit?

Where's your sense of adventure?

Are you saying that we're both laden with cut-rate booze AND totally out of season?

Why am I so confused?

Have you seen a professional?

Didn't I say confused not disturbed?

Did I post too quickly?

or not quickly enough?

Isn't there a pill for that?

Are we still talking about posting?

Don't those "miracle pills" inevitably cause more problems than they solve?

Like disagreement between subject and verb?

Are you a linguist?

Would you believe I have a degree in English?

Does it matter what I believe?

Would you believe that I'm posting drunk again?

What diploma mill gave you that?

Do you believe you're drunk?

Has anyone seen my cracker jacks?

Are you calling Jack a 'cracker'?

Do I know Jack?

Have you got the Jack?

What game are we playing?

Is it A Game...of You?

What would Wanda do?

Would she rewrite the ending?

Would she chose Hawkeye instead of The Vision?

Aren't we talking about different Wandas?

Weren't Hawkeye and Vision both kind of major-league jackasses in the original run?

Which Wanda are you talking about?

Was it a fish called Wanda?

Are we talking about Sheena Easton again?

What if I preferred Josie Cotton to Sheena Easton?

Is she still alive?

Didn't Sheena only "die" in that one episode of Miami Vice?

Do you have a good memory, or what?

What was the question again?

Should I consider such memory a blessing, or a curse?

Can't it be both?

Does A equal B?

Can't you see how it could be both?

Could you show us the equation?

Which one?

The anti-life equation?

Why don't you ask The King?

Isn't The King gone?

Didn't someone say "Elvis has left the builing!"?

What building?

Could it have been an Elvis impersonator?

Could it have been the wrong building?

Who gave you directions?

Didn't I use Mapquest?

How would I know?

Weren't you paying attention?

Where is Compass Kid?

Have you seen him?

Did he get lost again?

Was it my day to watch him?

What does the schedule say?

Did you have an extra copy?

Can I fax it to you?

Will it be legible?

Would you prefer a typed schedule?

Can you chisel it in stone?

Would that be easier for you?

Can stone be faxed?

Should we try?

Is the fax machine insured?

Can you insure a fax machine?

Have you tried?

Wouldn't I need a fax machine first?

Isn't that obvious?

Is it obvious to the oblivious?

Do you think Matt's oblivious?

Aren't we all oblivious in some ways?

why is being oblivious so popular?

Being popular shouldn't matter to the oblivious, should it?

is that why they're popular and/or oblivious?

Can you think of another reason?

Does everything need a reason?

Doesn't everything have a reason?

Should we ask a sociopath?

If we can't find a sociopath, can we ask a telepath?

Do you really have to ask a telepath anything?

Why not just ask them without using your voice, just to be sure?

And what if they don't respond?

How would you really know they're telepaths, if they don't?

Would feeling them up work?

Is that your answer for everything, to feel someone up?

Is that so wrong?

Does that mean Quis wants me to feel him up?

Is that so wrong?

Does that depend on whether my feeling someone up is considered to atrocious to be legal?

Does my opionion count?

Isn't it more important to just speak your mind, and damn the consequences?

What did the consequences ever do to deserve being damned?

Didn't you notice them standing next to the torpedoes again?

Am I in danger of getting torpedoed?

Are you an enemy vessel?

As acting Security Chief, shouldn't you be protecting Matt from the torpedo squad?

Maybe we need a new Security Chief?

Yeesh! Did Matt asking if he was in danger automatically mean there was a credible threat to his safety?

But aren't you the only one who can reassure him on that front, CT?

Shouldn't you be checking on it regardless?

Should I find other means to protect myself?

Given the historic competance of the Security Office, don't you think that would be wise?

Am I known for wise decisions?

Are there really rogue torpedoes after people on LW?

WOn't we know when we start getting picked off?

Should we sit back and wait to see if there's a pattern?

Wouldn't that cause unnecessary loss of life?

Don't you have to break a few eggs to make an omelette?

What does making breakfast have to do with Security?

Am I an egg now?

What were you before?

If you are, how would you prefer to be served?

If you want to keep the mood good, shouldn't it be Sunny Side Up?

Maybe scrambled is more appropriate?

Around here, are you sure that "over easy" wouldn't be the more obvious choice?

Well, isn't it better to ignore the obvious sometimes?

Did you say something?

Would you hear me if I spoke louder?

WHAT?

Do you need a hearing aid?

Would you like to buy one?

How effective is it?

Is it adjustable?

Would you like a free trial period?

Are you offering one?

What else can you offer?

What are you looking for?

How about a well-made cordless lawn edger?

Or an Iphone?

Can I use the Iphone to make a call?

Could OM revolutionize landscaping and communication by inventing a combination iPhone-lawn edger?

Wait! Am I getting my threads confused?

How much money is in lawn edging?

Is it okay if I wait for a combination shaving system/iPhone/lawn edger?

Are you asking us to approve your lifestyle choices?

Aren't I just looking for a good deal?

Don't you know?

Aren't good deals abundant on holiday weekends?

Why not wait until the new model comes out?

When will that be?

Don't they have a catalog?

Have you ordered one?

Who authorized you to order us around?

Couldn't he be acting on his own authority?

Who authorizes the authorities?

Would that be an author?

Do authors have to have leadership qualities?

Don't they generally have to have a way with words to be successful?

Doesn't that make them more manipulative than anything else?

Aren't leaders usually pretty manipulative?

What would you know about that, CHIEF?

Did he manipulate you into asking that question?

Who...me?

Who else is around?

Haven't you checked out the "Recent Visitors" section?

Are you questioning my thoroughness?

Have you been remiss?

How does one redress being remiss?

Are you asking if I own a red dress?

By being unremiss?

How is one remiss by owning a red dress?

What if it was a white dress accidentally washed with a red shirt?

Do we have red shirts on Legion World?

Should we use that term for people who post one and then vanish?

Haven't you heard of the Redshirt Corps of the Security Office?

Where would I have heard?

Wouldn't you have heard it when you were at the Hootchie Hut?

Does Matt patronize the Hootchie Hut?

Do I look like a Hootchie?

Are you asking if you look like a double-Hootchie?

What if I am?

Could you define "double-Hootchie"?

Isn't it in the dictionary?

Which one?

Do you have Webster's?

Do you really think "double-Hootchie" is defined in Webster's Dictionary?

Didn't you coin the term?

Didn't I infer it from your double-post?

Should I read your mind?

Are you from Titan? (or should that be "Were you from Titan?")

Is Matt telepathic?

I thought they told me psychopathic?

Who told you that?!?

Was it the voices in his head?

Maybe they said psychic instead?

That would be a key thing to clarify, wouldn't it?

How would you know?

Why are you here?

Why is anybody here?

Why should I tell you?

Wouldn't it be polite?

Zardi is polite?

Why wouldn't I be?

Why won't you be?

Why would he be?

Is that the way to be civilized?

Is civilized behavior our primary goal here?

Don't we try fairly hard here compared to other message boards?

You mean, we try hard to be trying?

Are you trying to be trying?

Would that be out of character?

Are you ever in-character?

Are you implying that I'm consistently inconsistent?

Isn't it hard to do anything other than imply in this thread?

But doesn't the enigmatic tone add a certain piquant quality to the usual goings-on?

You think this thread is piquant?

Is there another adjective that would be more to your liking?

What others come to mind?

Could one adjective adequately describe this thread?

Wouldn't Lester Spiffany describe this thread as "Stupid"?

Isn't Lester awfully grumpy, considering his life as futuristic bon vivant?

What does Lester have to be grumpy about?

Do you think he ever got over the rejection?

Shouldn't he have seen it coming?

Is Lester from Naltor?

How come he doesn't have a power then?

Didn't Mysa establish that not all Naltorians start out with powers?

Maybe she was adopted?

Are you trying to inspire yet another brain-breaking retcon?

Isn't it a possibility?

Which: the adoption, or my brain breaking again?

Which one is more likely?

Can you pick a creative team to helm the retconned story before I decide?

Do we really want to go there?

Would Kurt Busiek and George Perez work?

Can we afford them?

Who can pay them?

What were you planning to offer as compensation then?

What about Funions?

Is MLLASH in charge of A/P now?

What can't Lash do?

Can he bust a rhyme?

Who wants to know how poems go?

Are there fans of poetry in here?

Does starting the Limerick thread in Spaceopoly count as being a poetry fan?

Did you contribute one as well?

Why don\'t you check it out and see for yourself?

Are you always so helpful?

Do you need a hand with something?

won't you need your hand back?

What is the sound of one hand typing?

Does it depend on the size of the hand?

Is size more important than a good personality?

Doesn't it also depend on the manufactured composition of the keyboard, and the acoustics of the room?

Do you have a preferred keyboard?

Do you mind a two year old model?

Would a Zydeco band prefer a washboard over a keyboard?

Can you ask them?

Would they hear the question over the music?

How could we get their attention?

Have you tried tapping them on the shoulder?

Right or left?

What does their political leanings have to do with it?

Are they leaning towards the audience, or away from it?

Have you seen the audience?

What are they wearing?

Could I tell, if you stopped shining the spotlight right in my eyes?

Would you like to borrow my shades?

Why? Are your suns not available?

How many suns does he own?

Should we do a solar audit to find out?

does the job pay mileage?

How far will you be traveling?

What company would be foolish enough to pay mileage for traveling between suns?

how much per mile?

Would 50 cents a mile work for you?

Is it tax free?

How rich are you?

Isn't that question too personal?

Rich in what?

Rich in fiber, perhaps?

How would you know?

Wasn't it clear I was guessing?

Is mud clear?

Is that mud in your eye?

Am I drinking?

What are you drinking?

Would you believe Pepsi?

What if I prefer Coke?

Should I call a rehab center?

What will you call it?

Don't you think "Joshua" is a good name?

A good name for whom?

Should I change my name?

To what?

Are you trying to hide from the authorities?

Why do you automatically suspect the worst?

If I were. would I reveal my location so easily?

How confident are you that you won't get caught?

Doesn't that depend on who is chasing me?

Is anyone chasing you?

Could you get that really cute guy to chase me?

Can't you ask him yourself?

What kind of wingman are you?

do you really want OM for your wingman?

Are you saying that OM wouldn't be a good wingma?

What does a wingma do anyway?

Can a guy be a "wingma"?

Is that why you think I wouldn't be a good one?

Couldn't you get surgery?

Is that your answer for everything, surgery?

isn't my answer to everything, tequila?

Is Quis' new nickname tequila?

Que?

So are the guys from The Champs posting here now?

Under what names are they posting?

Are you belatedly denying your former identity?

What former identity am I supposedly denying?

Don't you remember your own studio work on "Tequila"?

Are you implying that drinking constitutes work?

When it comes to popular entertainers, is there a meaningful distinction to be made between drinking and work?

What do popular entertainers have to do with me (aside from restraining orders)?

How come you waited 110 pages to mention the restraining orders?

Wouldn't you?

Would YOU mention them?

Does the number 110 hold a special importance that I have yet to be informed of?

Are you cleared for that kind of info?

Can I plead the Fifth, like Mattropolis did?

Wasn't that months ago?

Do you ever have an original thought?

Can't you go back and look?

How far back should we go?

Do you have a time bubble that works?

Shouldn't you go back as far as you need to?

What about the time bubble?

Does it work?

Did we ever manage to get it back from Repo Lad & Lass?

Have you lost the ignition key, Matt?

Do you remember what it looks like?

Doesn't it look like a key?

Don't keys come in many shapes and sizes?

How many?

Do you think I have a key encyclopedia?

Why don't you?

Didn't you sign it out, Matt?

Is that what you had me sign?

Would it be best if that's what you believed?

Who has the authority to decree what's best?

Can't we agree that it would be me?

Who'll stand in if you need to step out for more provisions?

Is that my problem?

Won't it be if you return?

Doesn't "stand in" imply temporary?

Wouldn't you want someone you trust?

Why should I care if I'm off doing something else?

You aren't a control freak?

Did I say that?

Wouldn't a true control freak just send their minion out to pick up the provisions?

Would a control freak trust a minion with such a task?

Wouldn't it depend on the minion?

Does the minion get a say?

What does the contract have in regards to that?

Do minions even get a contract?

How else would they have a clear conception of their job requirements?

Wouldn't the threat of punishment be more apt?

Isn't punishment sometimes the goal?

For the minion?

Why else would one choose to be a minion?

Are we still talking specifically about OM's minion?

Are there other minions wandering about?

Would I even want to employ someone who desired punishment?

So you are paying them?

Don't you have to give them something?

What do they deserve?

Is the Cookie-of-the-Month Club still selling gift subscriptions?

There's a Cookie-of-the-Month Club and no one told me?!?

Is there a bake sale this week?

Can we get some whoopie pies?

don't you get enough whoopie?

How much is too much?

Is there a standard?

If not, should there be one?

Are you volunteering to define it?

Won't the standard definition suffice?

What do you mean by "standard definition"?

Isn't it self-explanatory?

Whose standard?

Maybe the Board of Education standards? Isn't HWW one of them edjamacated types?

Can't we use my standard instead?

Why is your standard any better than my standard?

Could you all whip out your credentials and we'll see whose got the best qualifications to serve?

Can't we just flip a coin?

What are we whipping out?

Do you have any edjamacated credentials?

Am I the only one who skipped responding to cleome's post because of the double entendre?

What double entendre?

Wasn't one entendre enough?

Can you ever have enough entendres?

Then why did you skip it?

Aren't they best kept to oneself?

Don't you believe in sharing?

Isn't selfishness a virtue?

Isn't that patience?

Is this now the Inane Ayn Rand Posts thread?

Have you ever read The Fountainhead?

Isn't Inane and Ayn Rand redundent?

Could we shorten it to Inane Rand?

Or Inayne Rand?

Don't you think either one gets the point across?

Doesn't it bear multiple repetitive redundant duplications?

Say what?

What should I say?

What have I stumbled into here?

Could it be a thread in which each post is a question that responds to the prior post's question?

Haven't I been here before?

didn't you check your GPS?

Does he own one?

Does the one on my phone count?

Did you teach it math?

Did it pass the standardized tests for math?

Which stat's test are we using?

Why not use them all, just to be on the safe side?

Do you have any idea how long that would take me?

Do you really have anything better to do?

Do any of us?

Wouldn't it take away from flirting time?

has flirting ever gotten you anywhere?

Isn't that a rather personal question?

is he obligated to answer?

Could it be more a compulsion?

To answer, or to flirt?

Do I have to pick just one?

Do you usually pick your compulsions?

Would it be shameful to admit that they usually pick me?

Why is that shameful?

Isn't that how it usually works?

Can't we reinvent the rules?

Won't someone just break them?

Isn't that the point?

What fun are rules if you can't break them?

Are they fun to bend?

Haven't you tried?

Who hasn't?

Wasn't he asking Abin?

Did I overstep my bounds?

Has anyone complained?

Have you checked the complaint box?

Do we have a complaint box?

Should I make one?

Do we really want to give people ideas?

What do you have against free ideas?

What do YOU have against free ideas?

What makes you think I am?

You am free ideas?

Didn't he mean "What makes you think I am against free ideas?"?

Sketchy is against free ideas, too?

Isn't he a bit of a sketchy character?

Have you seen his sketches?

Does he sketch nudes?

HOw would I know?

Haven't you posed for him?

Aren't we in entirely different parts of the country?

You don't really expect us to believe that, do you?

What will you believe?

Should I believe anything?

If you don't believe in anything, why should I believe that you exist?

Do any of us exist?

Aren't you all fig newtons of my deranged imagination?

If you could be any type of cookie, what would you be?

Can I pick Snickerdoodle?

Why not?

What would you pick?

Am I just limited to cookies?

What other kind of dessert would you be?

One with creamy filling, perhaps?

Are you a pop tart?

Is that how you picture me?

How do you want to be pictured?

Are you a photographer?

Does he need training for that?

Can't he teach himself?

Can he teach himself?

Are there books on the subject?

Shall we go to the library and see?

Which library?

Isn't there a librarian in our midst?

Is it fair to make him work on his LW R&R time?

Librarians work?

Is anything on LW considered work?

Don't all of Gary's efforts count?

Isn't it a labor of love?

What does Frente have to do with anything?

Is Frente popular?

Can't you check the Billboard charts to find out?

Can't Kent just answer my damn question and save me the trouble?

Is it worth his while?

Aren't I worth it?

What do you think?

Isn't it obvious that I think I'm worth it?

Couldn't you be deluding yourself?

Why must you always bring up my mental problems?

Isn't it a decent way to spend a Thursday night?

Is it still Thursday where you are?

Doesn't time fly when we dredge up your mental problems?

Have you ever actually seen "time fly"?

What if I have?

Doesn't that happen when you toss a clock out the window (if only momentarily)?

Have you actually done that?

Or if you bring a certain news magazine on an airplane?

Do you read that magazine?

Don't librarians have to read all the magazines before putting them out for public consumption?

Isn't that awfully Time consuming?

Are you a fast reader?

Don't you think Rocky would have the highest post count ever if it wasn't?

Are you impling that posting here is the only other thing he does?

Do you know something I don't?

What all do you know?

Do you really expect him to list everything?

Do you think it would take that long?

Aren't you being hard on yourself?

*snicker* Did OM just say 'hardon'?

Isn't this a family show?

which family? The Manson Family?

Isn't it more like the Addams Family?

You rang?

Did you knock?

Will someone please answer the phone and the door?

What did they ask?

Do phones speak Phonetian? If so, what do doors speak?

Morrisonian?

Aren't you sick of questions, Miner?

If he were, why would he keep posting to this thread?

If he really hated Qs, wouldn't he ignore the 'Pester' thread?

Could he be a glutton for punishment?

What if he were a gluten for punishment?

Is that better than being glued for punishment?

or turned into glue for punishment?

Do you think you can amuse me with these ideas?

Is it all about you?

Who else could it be about?

Aren't there thousands of other people in this world (net, once one factors out alt-IDs)?

Why should I care about them?

Have you no empathy for others?

Or is he just bitter for all the stuff we've found in his beard?

When do I get all that stuff back?

Who said you were getting it back?

Do you really want it back?

Back? You mean we shouldn't have put it all on eBay?

Were there any bids?

Weren't you paying attention at the time?

Why do I always have to pay?

Do I look like I am paying attention?

What did you say?

Was it something about a reaping? I don't think we need any?

Isn't that two questions?

Can't you count?

Does two follow one?

Is one in command over two?

What the heck are you talking about?

Is he talking about Don Heck?

Don Who?

Do you mean Don Ho?

Isn't Don Ho dead?

Does that prevent him from being the subject of conversation?

Does it matter?

Isn't that what I asked?

How would Abin know, if you don't?

If I don't what?

Isn't that what I asked?

What did you ask?

Does It matter?

Should it?

Doesn't everything matter?

Why?

Why ask why?

Isn't stuff mattering why people choose to live from day to day?

Don't you live one day at a time?

What does Valerie Bertinelli have to do with anything?

Do you think that old show's my Bible or something?

Remember What?

Does anybody really know what time it is?

Time to bust a rhyme?

Is it that late?

Is it bed time?

Do you have somewhere to be?

Is it ever too late for that?

Too late to be somewhere?

What's wrong with where we are?

Don't you want to explore?

Have you a vessel for us to go exploring in?

What kind of vessel would you like?

Er...a vessel for exploration?

Could Abin borrow one for us?

Can he get one in pink?

What shade of pink?

Does it have to be pink?

Does pink seem too feminine for you?

Isn't it enough just to say it's not my color, without it being about gender issues?

Do you think I read too much into your question?

Could you mark down my answer as "yes"?

Are you sure?

How could I be any more sure?

Have you thought about taking a vow?

Would you believe my last vow was to never take another vow again?

Have you ever given me reason not to believe you?

Isn't he still a lawyer? do you need more reason?

Have you had bad experiences with lawyers?

isn't it trendy to bash lawyers?

Do you follow all the trends?

Can't I pick and choose like everyone else?

How do you know that everyone else picks and chooses?

Isn't it obvious?

How so?

How is it not?

Isn't the burden of proof yours in this instance?

Why?

Didn't you make the assertion?

So what if I did?

Could we forget this petty altercation and just go out for coffee instead?

Dunkin Donuts or Starbucks?

May I commend our dear cleome for this brilliant suggestion?

Why won't you answer the question of whether to go to Dunkin Donuts or Starbucks?

Which one's closer?

Is Starbucks really worth the high prices for crappy quality?

How could they succeed if their product is so crappy?

Could they be following PT Barnum's example?

Are you calling me a sucker?

Aren't there worse things he could call yoou?

If you pay Starbucks prices, what else can you be?

Sucker or Starbucker?

What flavor sucker?

L-Tracker, Is there a difference?

All-day sucker?

Would you really want sugar hitting your teeth all day long?

What would it be hitting my teeth with?

Who could suck all day, anyway?

Aside from Justin Bieber, you mean?

Should we give in and start a drinking game for anytime somebody mentions Justin Bieber?

Who's Justin Bieber?

Abin, are we driving you to drink?

It's not far, could I walk Instead?

Are your boots made for walking?

Who said I was wearing boots?

You're intending to walk barefoot?

Is that a problem?

Don't you have a solution?

Sandals?

What color?

Black or brown?

are those the only options?

how many options do you need?

Do you want to special order a different color?

How long will that take?

Do you want to pay express shipping charges?

Can I get a discount?

Do you have a membership card?

Is the discount worth giving away a bunch of my personal information?

Is the discount worth giving away a bunch of my personal information?

edit: Is there an echo in this thread?

Wouldn't that be so cool to have a message board with an echo, echo, echo, echo ?

How would that work?

Don't you have to have an echo membership card?

Is there an application?

Can you download it from the website?

How long would that take using a lame dial-up connection?

Who uses dial-up anymore?

Didn't we establish that OM does?

Did I miss that somewhere?

Miss what?

Which miss are we talking about?

Do you have a particular preference?

Does it have to be a miss?

Wouldn't that be heterocentric of me, to assume you had to prefer a miss?

Can't homosexuals enjoy Swiss Miss?

Who said they couldn't?

Was it the Gay Mafia?

Did you find a chopped-off poodle head in your bed?

Did I write that once?

If you don't recall, how would I?

Maybe I should re-read my old stuff?

If it's worth re-reading, why wouldn't you?

Doesn't he already know how it ends?

Does that invalidate the effort?

Doesn't hard work always pay off?

You jingling the coins?

Do you have spurs that jingle-jangle-jingle?

Are we going for a horsie ride?

Where are we going?

Didn't you bring the map?

Aren't those things always such a royal pain to refold correctly?

Were they folded correctly in the first place?

If we don't unfold them, how will we know where we're going?

Why so scared of a little mystery?

What if it's a murder mystery?

Must you cultivate such a morbid imagination?

If I don't, who will?

Stephen King, maybe?

Well, will he or won't he?

Could Stephen King do an Ann Rice and start writing about spiritual conversion?

And can we commission Jack Chick to draw the comic book adaptation?

Who's Jack Chick?

Perhaps an updated version of Jesse's Girl?

Or maybe he's related to Jack Squat?

What about Jack Straw?

Is that the last straw?

The one that broke the camel's back?

HOw much weight did THAT take?

Ya think Thom had something to do with it?

If I say yes, will he come visit me?

Is that what it takes?
