Answering Still More Questions With Questions

Quote

Quoth STU: She would have ended up in Gillikin Country or Quadling Country, wouldn't she?

Do you have a map of Oz handy?

Would you believe me if I told you I've actually been to Oz?

Why don't I doubt it?

Is that Oz as is Oztralia?

Isn't the correct spelling "Austrailia"?

But what's the current way to pronounce it (according to them)?

Isn't it "awsTRIALyeh" ?

...Mate?

Is that because the large majority of them are roughnecks and criminals?

(ducks, runs for cover

)

Would you believe that the extra "i" was to keep those roughnecks & criminals under observation?

What does it stand for?

Does it have to stand for something?

Don't we just make up all our definitions here?

How do you like my Bill Clinton impression?

Aren't you too authentic to be Bill Clinton?

Are you telling that I should to mine own self be true?

Is that bad advice?

How will you kow if you don't take it?

Aren't I always true to my perverted self?

Have you ever done anything that wasn't perverted?

Isn't the brutality of life itself rather perverse?

Aren't one's actions always possibly perverse from someone's point of view?

What if we were being watched... from a distance?

Would Bette Midler know?

Is Bette Midler a Watcher like Uatu?

Didn't she have a crappy, sappy song called "From a Distance"?

Would you laugh if I told you that that song once totally took the wind out of a hot and heavy make-out session I was having as a teenager?

Was it because "God is watching us"?

Is God a Watcher like Uatu?

If so, would both technically be voyeurs?

What if God were one of us?

Just a slob like one of us?

Who are you calling a slob?

A stranger on a bus?

Did you ever watch Joan of Arcadia?

Why do you and Lardy think I am not getting the cultural references?

Don't you know that "One of Us" was popular before that show (which I didn't watch) came on?

Have we been rebooted?

Seeing how a reboot wipes out everything that came before it, would we know?

Would Noah's flood be considered God's version of a reboot?

Would "antediluvian" be "preboot" then?

Would that make the New Testament a sequel to the Old?

Don't you find that most sequels are not as good as the original?

Might the New Testament be an exception?

Might one be able to pick apart the parts of it they don't like?

Don't even those who believe that the Bible is inerrant do that?

Isn't that like the concept of pruning?

Will you prune my pits for me?

GRL!!!!!!

Where have you been?

Where hasn't GRL been?

Down on a dude, apparently?

What do you mean by "down"?

Ever heard of fellatio, Legatus?

Under the laws of this imperial regime, I believe that act is punishable by hard labor in the potato mines, is it not?

Why does that punishment sound so ap-peel-ing to me?

Perhaps because you have an unhealthy, immoral potato fetish?

What's unhealthy or immoral about it?

What isn't?

Is this World even more depraved and immoral than I ever imagined?

That depends; how vivid is your imagination?

And have you never been to Wall Street?

Would I kinda like the music there?

What kind of music do you like?

What's playing?

I dunno; can someone fix my radio for me?

What's the Frequency, Kenneth?

Do I look like Dan Rather?

Would you rather you didn't?

Do you think I want to look like Katie Couric?

the real question is do you think Katie Couric would want to look like you? as a matter of fact does she even know what you look like Quis?

Given that she might have seen me without me seeing her, shouldn't you ask her that question?

Do you think Katie Couric is hot?

Can she be hot if I don't see her sweating?

Who was it that said, "Never let them see you sweat"?

Could it have been someone who wasn't a rock star?

Can't rock stars afford anti-perspirant?

Maybe they equate "sweaty" with "sexy"?

So they can't afford a dictionary or a thesaurus too?

Who needs to be smart when you're the idol of millions?

Wouldn't it be great to be smart and the idol of millions?

Would you rather be the idol of millions or just have one really good good friend?

Is the one really good good friend himself an idol of millions?

Does that really matter to you?

Does choosing "being the idol of millions" mean that you wouldn't have any friends at all, or just not any that would be considered a really good good friend?

Who needs friends when you can have an entourage?

Wouldn't an entourage really get on your nerves?

Is my former fifth grade teacher a part of the entourage?

Do you think my former fifth grade teacher is still alive?

How old would he/she be?

Did you have a crush on your fifth grade teacher?

Why do you want to know?

Do you sometimes get the feeling that it's just the two of us talking to each other here?

Are we all just alts of Nightcrawler?

Are we all part of an autistic child\'s daydream?

How did I know that your link would take me to a site about St. Elsewhere?

Are you telepathic?

Can you tell me what I'm thinking right now?

How hard can that be?

Can it be that I'm more complex than I look?

Don't you think anything is possible?

Who wants to know?

Wouldn't everybody want to know?

Are you telling that many people?

might as well,..wouldn't want anyone to be left out of the loop now would we?

Aren't you forgetting a certain someone whom we might want to leave out of the loop?

Are you THAT threatened by Cobie's posting prowess?

Why do I feel like responding in the form of a question even though that isn't required on this thread?

Isn't it?

It isn't?????

it isn't what???

?

Are you repeating me?

Am I too late with that post?

Are you talkin' to me?

Am I not looking at you?

Er, I don't know (your avatar's kinda small); are you?

Would it help if I changed avatars?

what could you possibly accomplish by doing that?

Why do you need to accomplish anything?

To alleviate the crushing sense of despair inherent in the human condition, perhaps?

Do you really believe that the human condition is so effed up?

Have you been to a mall lately?

they still have Malls? and with the advent of the internet why would one ventrue out to go to one?

Isn't a mall where you can text your friends and creepy old guys without the parents knowing?

Now, how do you know THAT? Hmmmm

Doesn't everybody know that?

Anyone want to go to Cinnabon with me?

Are you paying?

For the Cinnabon, or for something else?

How much does a Cinnabon cost?

Wouldn't that vary from location to location?

How would I know? I've never heard of them before.

Wouldn't all you really need to know is the capitalist idea of supply and demand to answer my previous question?

Isn't it a sweeping generalization to suggest that supply and demand is applied the same everywhere?

Isn't that why the price of something, say Cinnabons (an overpriced cinanom roll), can vary from location to location?

But aren't some things priced the same no matter the location (e.g., all those $1 specials McDonald's and other chains always seem to run)?

Do you know how annoying it is to be proven wrong?

Have I ever been wrong?

Why does it always have to be about you?

Okay, let's talk about you: What do you think of me?

Do you want my honest opinion?

Will I like it?

Would you like to be told that you are a good internet friend and an awesome poster?

What do you think?

what does that matter

Why wouldn't it matter what Quis thinks?

In the general scheme of things, does anything really matter?

"Nothin' really matters, and what if it did?" --J.C. Mellencamp

Does nothing else matter?

We are getting a little existential, don't you think?

Or perhaps I'm merely paraphrasing Metallica?

Is Metallica a philosopher? (said in an Eric Idle as a woman voice)

Was HWW really serious when he said he'd never heard of Cinnabon before??

Is it a regionality issue, maybe?

Or that he has never been to an airport before?

Or perhaps I eat more high-class fare (like McDonald's)?

He said he was high-class?

Did I say any such thing?

Or was I just paraphrasing Elvis?

Wasn't that obvious?

Was it really?

Do you want me to lie?

Would the truth still be out there?

Out where?

Was he paraphrasing "The X-Files" just now?

Am i able to trust that you would know that one?

You don't know?

"Trust Know One"? Where at? The "Point of Know Return," maybe?

Isn't no-ing half the battle?

Have you ever heard the They Might Be Giants song Ana Ng which has the line "I don't want the world... I just want your half!"?

Should I have?

Did they spell "no" correctly?

Having never hear the song, how would I "no"?

Have you tried iTunes?

Whatever happened to records?

Were they all scratched for HipHop? *wikkawikkawikka*

Or were they filed in the vertical file?

What is the "vertical file"?

Ever heard a trash can referred to in that manner?

Lardy: preparing for Hanna yet?

STU: maybe I'm still in denial?

Where did the second question mark go?

Second question mark: is this better??

If the second question mark is unnecessary should we put it in the circular file?

Have you given any consideration to the question mark's feelings?

Wanna wager on whether he gives its feelings any consideration? (I'm betting "no")

Can you believe how cruel Quislet can be to punctuation marks sometimes?

Isn't he a lawyer?

Don't you know that all lawyers hate trees? (That's why we use so much paper)

Aren't we supposed to be living in a paperless society now?

Can we really function without paper?

Certainly not in the ol' water closet, wouldn't you agree?

Doesn't Cobie use his bidet powers?

Cobie has bidet powers?

Didn't you know his original and favoritest alt was "Bidet Boy" ?

Was he a cousin of Urinal Lad?

Was Urinal Lad an in-continuity LMBPer?

The LMBP has continuity????????

Haven't you seen the thread for that in Encyclopedia Galactica?

Does anybody actually GO to the EG?!

<hugs all EG participants to pre-empt banning...

>

That last post didn't really end with a question, now, did it (not even counting the first part, which technically concluded with an exclamation point)?

Should we submit it to the mods for review?

Must you be so literal?(!

)

Maybe I was asking an emphatic question?

I wonder: are questions followed by a smiley, parenthesis, or other non-question mark character compliant with this thread's rules?

Isn't that unquestionable?

If it was unquestionable, why did he ask the question?

Is he just being obtuse?

Was that a fat joke?

What does obtuse have to do with being fat?

Isn't one definition of obtuse "rounded at the extremity"

Didn't you forget to put a question mark at the end of your question?

Does that rock your world, especially if I don't edit it?

Are you going all "bad boy" on me, Lardy?

Was I ever all "good boy"?

Is the definition of "bad boy" on LW one who fails to abide by a thread's specified rules, and then refuses to edit one's post to make it compliant after the fact?

Is it, Quis?

What if I just use my mod powers to edit it myself?

Do you want me to edit it?

Quote

Originally posted by Lard Lad:

Are you saying you're a leaf or petal?

Are we checking the same site?

Are you checking this one ?

What if I checked a different site but had the same definition as you did?

Then it would be the "same difference," wouldn't it?

Isn't that point moot since Huey and I are checking the same site?

So are you both seeing different versions of reality?

Why do you say that?

Maybe he thinks there are 52 parallel realities?

Who'd believe something wacky like that?

Maybe in one of those parallel realities, "obtuse" can mean the same as "obese"?

Why are you asking such obese questions?

Is your character written by Jim Shooter?

So, Lardy is not from this reality, after all??

Is that so hard to believe?

What have you done with the Lard Lad of this Earth?

Who said definitively I wasn't this Earth's Lard Lad?

Would the Lard Lad of this Earth say something like, "Why are you asking such obese questions?"?

Are you saying he is/I am too extraordinarily intelligent to say such a thing?

No!...?

Why we believe that on ANY Earth?

Could it be because we are gullib... er trusting souls?

Well, don't I have a large...vocabulary?

Aren't you overcompensating?

For what?

Shouldn't the question be "what aren't you overcompensating for?" ?

Should the question be, "Are you overconstipating?"

Who's constipated?

Why don't you follow the smell?

Do you smell anything?

Do your feet smell?

Are your feet constipated?

How exactly do feet get constipated?

Could it be a malapropism?

Is that a euphemism for chronic foot constipation?

Isn't that reminiscent of the obtuse/obese discussion?

Do we have to go back to that?

Is it possible to go home again?

Which home would that be?

Do I look like John McCain?

Umm...kinda sorta?

Who should be more insulted, me or McCain?

Governor Palin?

McCain's rich, (kinda) hot wife?

What about her?

What's in it for her?

More Viagra?

Does anyone else think that 97% of the MMB posts over the last week have been made by just five posters?

What makes you say that?

Why... don't you agree?

Isn't that stating the obvious?

Is it obvious to the oblivious?

Is it more obvious to be oblivious in oblivion?

Is it more obese to be obtuse in obviousness?

Is that a loaded question?

Would you prefer a loaded gun?

Are you a member of the NRA?

Or a member of NAMBLA?

Did you realize that the five-word thread has also turned into a thread of questions?

Should we start a new thread combining both concepts?

Do you want my head to explode?

Isn't it a natural progression?

Which -- starting a new thread, or my head exploding?

Which do you want it to be?

Could we vote on that?

Aren't you afraid of voter fraud by alts?

Do we have to start marching for Alt Suffrage?

Can I swim instead?

Can anyone stop you if you wanted to?

Who would really want to stop Shark Lad?

Alt Suffrage supporters?

But isn't Shark Lad swimming in support of them?

Did he make that clear?

Then why did you get it so wrong?

Why does it always go wrong when I'm involved?

?Are you sure it always happens

?Is it the latest literary trend to have the question mark precede the question itself

Or could it just have been something that went wrong because Shark Lad was involved?

Wasn't the song about "everything's gone wrong, since SharkLad came along" featured in South Park: The Movie?

Or am I misremembering the lyrics?

Is "misremembering" a real word?

If LW doesn't underline it in the post-composition box, can I assume it's a real word?

LW has spell check?

Sure, haven't you seen it in action?

Anybody have a real word dictionary that we could use?

What's this "dictionary" you speak of?

Didn't Blockade Boy type rather than speak?

Doesn't typing substitute for speaking on the 'net usually?

You don't post using Dragon NaturallySpeaking ?

What's that?

Have you heard of speech recognition software?

Can Speech really recognize software?

Does software have rights?

Do you think porn sites should have rights?

And if so, which rights should they have? The right to vote?

But what would a porn site vote for?

Would a politician want it to be known that a porn site voted for him/her?

Would a politician be more upset if a porn site voted for him/her or if his/her teenage unmarried daughter was pregnant during his/her run for VP?

Do you think a porn site is going to vote for Sarah Palin?

What would a porn site have against Sarah Palin?

I suspect she's probably anti-porn, don't you?

But if the porn site liked her economic policy, wouldn't the porn site still vote for her?

Would a porn site wear a "Kiss me, I voted" button after voting?

Would you want to kiss a porn site not knowing who else it kissed?

Is there such a thing as a lip-condom?

Why don't you invent one?

But how would I find subjects to test it on?

Couldn't you just use college students like other medical testing labs?

But what if I got sued for sexual harassment?

Would a porn site sue for sexual harassment if it could?

Do you really think a porn site would sue an individual for testing a prototype lip-condom on it? (How would that even work?)

If a porn site were sentient and had the right to vote, isn't it possible?

If "ifs" and "buts" were candy and nuts, wouldn't we all have a merry Christmas?

Wouldn't that depend on how good the porn site is?

Do you get the feeling that it's just the two of us talking to each other here?

Is that so unusual?

Is it unusual to be loved by anyone?

Wasn't there a song saying it's not?

Is it unusual to have fun with anyone?

Is this a karaoke bar?

Is LASH here?!

Don't you wish he was?

Don't I always?

Don't you sometimes wish for those Playboy models to come visit you?

Visit...with benefits?

Would Pov wish for a visit without benefits?

What are these benefits you speak of?

Benefits?!?!? who said anything about benefits?

Do you have to pay for these so-called "benefits"?

Where's the benefit in paying?

Can't it still be a benefit if the required payment is modest, as least relative to the benefit conferred?

Wouldn't it be worth it to pay if, in return, you get sexual pleasuring from a Playboy bunny (assuming you're heterosexual)?

and even if you weren't heterosexual who wouldn't mind getting sexual pleasure from a Playboy bunny?

Does it have to be sexual pleasure?

Can't it be the pleasure of knowing that you've found an intellectual equal at last?

We are talking Playboy bunnies, right?

Are you profiling?

Does the shoe fit?

Don't you mean the Bunny ears or tail?

Or the bunny slippers?

Don't you find slippers, wether buuny slippers or just regular slippers, to be the most comfortable of all footwear?

Didn't you know I prefer being barefoot unless it's really cold?

Seeing as being barefoot is not a type of footwear, wouldn't that be excluded from comparison?

Isn't it relevant if I'm not big on wearing slippers in the first place?

Is that what that stench is??

Aren't my pheromones awesome?

[voice muffled by cape] Don't you mean awesomely awful?! :gag:

I can't hear you through your cape, could you speak up?

Don't you know a cape is insufficient to stave off my foot pheromones?

Why do you think I wear a cape?

Wasn't I talking to Pov as you were?

Lardy, shouldn't you be more specific to whom you are addressing a particular question?

If you're too specific, doesn't that discourage other parties from participating in this thread?

Do you think they are too polite to just butt in?

Well...do they have big butts?

And who posts butt-first, anyways?

Isn't that the rumor about you?

When were you going to share these rumors with me?

Is that one you wanna be privy to?

Can I be privy?

Can't you be anything you want to be?

Is that true, or just a cliche propagated by afterschool specials?

Do they even make those any more?

Why don't you ask one of the younger members of Legion World?

Where's Cali when we need her?

Isn't there anyone even younger than her?

Didn't they all leave when the 'Toon got canceled?

Why, isn't she young enough for you?

You're not a pedo, are you?

Say, weren't you featured on that Dateline NBC special a while back?

(As an aside, do you think the content of the MMB is still "all ages"?

)

Haven't we crossed that line repeatedly?

Is it too late to return to innocence?

Isn't it best always to retain some of one's innocence?

Is this the end of the innocence?

Wasn't that a Pope?

Wasn't it a Don Henley song?

Don Henley did a song about a Pope?

What then do you make of Billy Joel's "An Innocent Man"?

Are both singers Catholics obsessed with Popes named Innocent?

Couldn't they have been using "innocent" in another context?

Is there another contaxt?

How does "contaxt" relate to "context"?

Has Lardy lost the ability to spell as well as count?

Is Lardy turning into Cobie?

What will Cobalt Lass and Lard Lady think?!

Aren't you more concerned with She Who Wanders?

Why should I be concerned about some nomadic broad?

If you find that nomadic broad, will you send her my way?

Has there never been a She Who Wanders in any LMBP story?

Would her name be Mona-El?

Is she hot (semi-reference to fire-themed avatar)?

Are you wondering if she's been stolen?

Maybe this potentially non-existent lass has just stolen my heart?

How does the blood get pumped through your body if your heart has been stolen?

Wouldn't he need an artificial heart?

Haven't y'all heard of a figure of speech?

Wasn't that Sarah Palin the other night?

Do we have to get political here?

Speaking of political, when are the next Legion World elections?

She's a politician?

She's not a drag queen?

Can you be a drag queen without a witty name, like Hedda Lettuce?

I knew a rather robust gal named Sofonda Cox -- do you think she was actually a drag queen?

With a name like that is there any question?

Could she have been a porn star?

Could I be?

Would you believe that one Halloween I dressed up in drag and called myself Rita Book?

Why would I doubt a librarian?

Couldn't librarians make for exceptionally good liars?

Isn't that a lie?

Should we ask Rocky?

Won't the answer be the same whether he lies or doesn't?

Quote

Originally posted by Rockhopper Lad:

Is there photographic evidence to support your claim?

Will this do?

Wow, is that for real?

Did you shave for the occasion, or was this pre-facial hair?

Would you believe that it is me and it was the only time since I was 19 that I did not have facial hair?

Would you believe me if I were to tell you that "Rita Book" is sexier than some of the real female librarians I've encountered?

Is that any harder to believe than my father, upon seeing that picture, saying, "You know, you're prettier than any of your sisters"?

How ugly are your sisters?

Are there any photos of Pov's drag queen persona, Harriet Palms?

Quote

Originally posted by Pov:
How ugly are your sisters?

Would you believe I'm that I'm the prettiest whether I'm in drag or not?

Yes?

Do you perform in Provincetown?

After one appearance, was there ever really a need to do it again?

No "back by popular demand" encore for 2008?

Isn't the knowledge that I can do it, if I choose, sufficient?

Don't you know how much Americans love sequels these days?

How about Paige Turner as your new drag name?

Are you aware she's an actual Adult starlet?

When all the straight guys have a mancrush on you, what need is there to do drag?

Quote

Originally posted by Pov:

When one has real women throwing themselves at one's feet, what need does one have of pr0n?

Oops?

Say, where's Quis tonight -- reading new comics?

Aren't you guys watching Project Runway and Top Design?

No; are those shows on tonight?

Don't you mean "were on"?

I guess that means I don't watch them?

Maybe you Tivo'd them for when you're not online?

Wouldn't it be easier to just go to the Project Runway web site and download the episodes from there?

Quote

Originally posted by Pov:

Oh, who'm I kidding? :rolleyes:

Should I sing the Styx song "Fooling Yourself"?

Can you teach me the harmony parts?

Can I harmonize with my boobs?

Is that what they mean when they refer to the "music of the spheres"?

Doesn't that seem to fit?

How can they be said to "fit," when they're practically bursting out all over?

The spheres or my boobs?

Can you play your areolae like the rim on a wine glass?

When will this line of questions end?

Does right now work for you?

Couldn't it be sooner?

Should someone lock the thread?

Are you a buzzkill in real life, too?

Yeah, what's up with HIM?

Why are SOME PEOPLE such killjoys?

Why's everyone so touchy?

Would touchy-feely be an improvement?

Wouldn't somebody press charges?

What would I be charged with?

Would it be lewdness?

Who would dare?

Legatus Ferrous Rodentus, perhaps?

Who's that?

i dunno ask Stu?

If STU really is gone, can we ask Iron Rat STU or whatever he's calling himself?

Aren't we ALL just Nighty?

Did you just say that you are wearing a nightie?

Is that something you want to see?

Don't you think I might be asking so I can avoid seeing?

Does that strategy make a lick of sensse?

Can't you see the logic of it?

Care to explain it?

Do you really want the explanation?

Are you afraid to provide it?

Don't you think that knowledge of whether Pov is wearing a nightie would allow me to avoid seeing him in it, whereas not having the knowledge might result in my seeing Pov in said nightie; given the fact that we still do not know if Pov did say he was wearing said nightie and/or whether he was telling the truth when he made the alleged statement?

Did that make sense to anyone not called "Quislet, Esq."?

Did you or did you not ask for the explanation?

Huh?

Did Quis just provide a William Jefferson Clinton "define 'IS' "-type defense?

How did that defense go again?

Which of his numerous legal problems are we even referring to here?

Come again?

Wasn't there more than one involving women? Or was Pov referring to his marijuana technicality?

We'd have to ask Pov, wouldn't we?

Well, Pov?

Where is he when he's needed?

Wouldn't that make a good children's book, "Where's Pov?"?

Isn't that a really bad idea?

Do you really want to hurt me, Lardy?

Do you really want to make me cry?

What if he said "yes"?

Could I have him done in?

You could, but wouldn't it be smarter not to publicize such plans?

Do you really think anybody reads this thread?

Don't you?

Don't I what?

Don't You Forget About Me?

Any reason we should remember you?

Does he want us to remember him, the song, or "The Breakfast Club"?

Can we choose?

Do we have to?

Would you rather have a committee choose for you?

Who'd choose the committee?

Shouldn't we have a preliminary study done concerning the make-up of a focus group who's non-binding recommendation would give us guidlines for establishing criteria for the qualifications to look for in selecting the headhunter who will prepare a list of possible candidates of people who can choose this commitee?

Are you volunteering to conduct said study?

What, is he insane?!

Why don't you ask my doctors at the asylum?

Won't they <strike>go</strike>get mad?

Aren't we all a little mad?

???

What, me worry?

Are you worried about the stock market?

Should I be if I'm not currently investing in anything?

How do you plan for the future?

What future?

Are you a Nihilist?

No, but isn't it all supposed to end in 2012?

Originally posted by Pov:

Is Exnihil and ex-nihilist?

Maybe he's an ex-nihil list?

Is there such a list?

You seriously think he's a list?

Maybe he's an A-lister?

Do you think "The X-Listers" would be a cool name for the inevitable next X-Men title?

Would the characters be mutant celebrities?

I think it would be a tongue-in-cheek parody of D-list reality show life, but with mutants... say, do you think it's too late to copyright or trademark "The X-Listers"?

Would you also like to option "Werewolf by Night"?

Could he combine the two as "I was a teenage X-List Werewolf"?

Do you think it will make more money that way?

does it always have to be about money?

Don't you believe in Capitalism?

Doesn't everyone believe in capitalizing proper names?

Shouldn't you talk to e.e. cummings and k.d.lang?

Would I want to?

Why wouldn't you want to?

Should we all try that?

- sharklad

If I refuse, does that mean I'm a stickler for rules?

Is it safe to answer that without you taking offense?

Are you afraid of my wrath should I take offense?

Did you know the best defense is a strong offense?

Is someone being strongly offensive?

If one smelt it, wasn't that the one that dealt it?

Do you smell something?

Can one really smell anything in this virtual forum?

Aren't you glad that is true?

Are you implying LWers smell bad?

Maybe it's just you?

Just me implying or just me smelling bad?

Would saying "just you smelling bad" hurt your feelings?

Do you really think that telling someone that wouldn't hurt their feelings?

Yeah, what's wrong with you, Pov?

Why's Pov such a meanie?

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

to Pov)

Should we start a "Pick on Pov" thread?

Is that really necessary?

Is any of this inane posting really necessary?

What? Legion World?

Do you think that's what I meant?

Wasn't I asking for clarification?

What exactly needed clarifying?

What kinda cheater are ya, Huey?

Just what are you accusing me of, Louie?

Don't you know what you gone and done did?

Can you translate that into standard English?

Whose standard is "standard English"?

Can someone tell me what Huey was attempting to hide by editing his post?

Didn't you know he was hiding [censored]?

Would he have asked if he knew?

How do you know he knows?

How do you know he knows I know?

Do you all have each other under surveillance?

If we did, would Stu need to ask?

Hey Pov, did you know you have a bit of food on the corner of your mouth?

Don't you think that beats Cabo-cam, which hasn't shown anything more titillating than Cobie reading Oscar Wilde for the last several days?

Hey, why's Stu posting in fishnets and garters?

Wait! Is that Stephen King Cobie's reading now?

Is Carrie or Christine the better book to read on a honeymoon?

Isn't "The Shining" a better one with its portrayal of wedded bliss?

How would you have any idea what I'm wearing, seeing as there's no Stu-cam?

If it ain't Stu, who IS wearing fishnets and garters?

Wouldn't SharkLad be the most likely one to be wearing fishnets?

But garters?

Well, what else would you wear with fishnets?

Being the expert, shouldn't you tell us?

How would you know I'm an expert, unless you are even more of an expert?

Are there too many experts?

Do you consider yourself an expert on the subject of experts?

IS it ok to give my non-professional opinion on that subject?

Why do we have all these expert texperts and choking smokers?

Don't you think the joker laughs at you?

Surely not?

Who are you calling Shirley?

Wouldn't it make more sense to question who you calling Laverne?

Does that make you Squiggy?

In the opening to Laverne & Shirley, why is Laverne coming out of the closet?

Did anyone else think they could be more than "roommates"?

Did Laverne's bizarre concoction, "milk and Pepsi," really allude to another unpalatable substance?

What's "unpalatable" about Milk & Pepsi?

Have you ever tried drinking it?

Are you supposed to drink it?

Would you rather bathe in it?

Maybe it's meant to be used as a douche, or an enema?

Do you think it it time to leave Laverne's "Milk and Pepsi" to Laverne and talk about something else?

What would you suggest we talk about?

Do I have to make all the suggestions?

What if no one else has any?

Isn't that how we always end up at gay bars?

We do?

When did that happen?

Did you take the roofies AGAIN?

That depends -- what do roofies look/taste like?

Why are you asking me?

Maybe because you were the one who referred to them in the first place?

What is the deal with Pov's obsession with roofies?

Maybe he's a roofie wholesaler?

You think he uses them, too?

On others, or on himself?

Which one would surprise you less?

Why would anything about Pov surprise me now?

Can't you imagine something about him that would surprise you if it were true?

Maybe if he turned out to be a time-displaced clone of Carl Switzer, formerly Alfalfa from "The Little Rascals"?

That would surprise you?!?!?!

Wouldn't it surprise you?!?

Can you be surprised by something you already know?

Maybe he's easily startled?

AHHH!!!!! Would you stop doing that?

Stop doing what? This?

Just what else were you doing?

And how many died because of it?

Did they find all the bodies?

How many were they looking for?

Was there a coverup?

Would you believe me if I said "no"?

How can anyone be trusted these days?

When did you become so cynical?

Maybe when my heart was first broken?

How could Cobie have been so Kruel?

Cobie is a professional wrestler?

Have you seen the movie, Kruel Intentions?

What was it about?

I don't remember now, as I saw it a long time ago; maybe you can check imdb or Wikipedia?

Do I have to?

Does anybody have to?

Is this a deep, philosophical conversation about the meaning of free will and of determinism?

Haven't you read the title of this thread?

Don't you read the title of the thread before you click on it?

Would you consider that any of these questions have really been answered with a question?

Do you expect me to read through the whole thread?

Do you have something better to do?

Did you know that would have been my question, too?

Is Shark Lad psychic?

Wouldn't you like to know?

If you are psychic, wouldn't you know that already?

Are you baiting me?

What's a good bait for sharks?

How bout quislets?

Are there more than one?

If there aren't, do you think we should clone some?

Have we come that far in the cloning process?

What about Kid Quislet and that other Quislet, both of whom are on LW?

What about them?

Doesn't that demonstrate that there is more than one Quislet, and that cloning is unnecessary?

unnecessary? or unwarrented?

Maybe both?

Can't you stop waffling?

Waffles? Who has waffles?

regular or Belgum waffles?

Dontcha know that "waffling" has nothing to do with "waffles"?

is that same thing as Flip-flopping having nothing to do with wearing beach sandles?

Do you like wearing flip-flops?

why would you wear a politician?

To whom are you referring?

can't it just be a general question?

Which general are you referring to?

Can't one generalize about generals?

How general is the generalization?

In general, do you generally prefer to make generalizations about generals?

Would you prefer generalizing about admirals?

Shouldn't we save generalizations for the Generic Topic?

Do you think admirals would post on the Generic Topic?

Would that be admirable?

Could it be rear admirable?

Does this thread make me look fat?

Does my fat make this thread look big?

Do you want an honest answer or do you want me to lie?

Do you think I ould handle the truth?

Can the truth handle you?

Do I look like I have handles?

Would you mind turning this way so I can check?

How about a 360 twirl?

Did you take ballet lessons?

Does doing the Newfie jig count?

How do you do the Newfie jig?

Have you seen Riverdance?

Who hasn't seen Riverdance?

what is this "Riverdance" you speak of and why would anyone dance on a river?

Is there...nudity...involved in this strange dance you speak of?

If there is, will you be taking lessons?

Dancing lessons, nudity lessons or nude dancing lessons?

Where are the lessons going to take place?

in a van under the bridge down by said river i would assume?

With Chris Farley?

Are you going to use voodoo on Mr. Farley to resurrect him?

Know any good voodoo medicine men?

Do you want someone local or from Haiti?

Which would be cheaper?

Doesn't that depend on whether you are in Haiti yourself?

Are you in Haiti right now?

Does Haight-Ashbury count?

Which place is Hate Face from?

Did we ever find out?

And even if we did, won't some future writer retcon it to some place else?

Aren't retcons a b*tch?

What's a "b*tch"?

Are you really going to tell me you don't know?

Well, I was thinking he meant "bitch", but if we're allowed to post "fuck", shouldn't we be able to post "bitch"?

Maybe some people just have a little more discretion than you?

After all, isn't discretion the better part of Valor (i.e., Mon-El; i.e., He Who Wanders)?

Didncha know "The Letters Part of Valor" was the title of the short-lived Valor series' lettercol?

Why cuss when you don't have to?

I did know, as it was one of my favorite lettercol titles -- what are yours?

Did anybody else like "Europinons" (Justice League Europe)?

Would "Miapinions" be an appropriate lettercol title for a theoretical Justice League South Florida book?

Why go into what could have been?

Isn't it fun to speculate?

Fun for whom?

The speculators, who else?

On this thread, aren't we all speculators?

Isn't that a given?

Are we speculators or inquirers?

Care to speculate?

And what if I refuse?

If you don't cooperate, what if I show you a certain picture?

Are you trying to blackmail STU?

Aren't I technically blackmailing "Stu Rat"?

Are you falling for the old "Stu Rat is a different person than STU" routine?

Do YOU think STU will be gone forever after post 10,000?

Why would I doubt your impeccable taste in music?

Yuck, isn't that one of their more obvious banal attempts to score a pop hit?

It worked, didn't it?

You can't argue with success, can you?

Would it do any good?

Would it matter if I say I prefer Fleetwood songs with Stevie Nicks as lead singer?

Would what matter?

Can one appreciate both Stevie and Christine (and Lindsey) for the unique singers they are?

Was Christine McVie really on Stevie's (or even Lindsey's) level?

How can you dispute the sublime brilliance of "You Make Lovin' Fun" or "Say You Love Me"?

Can I concede that Stevie's voice wasn't well suited for more upbeat numbers?

Sure, why not?

Is that the end of this line of discussion?

Do you want it to end?

Should we never break The Chain?

Are you in over your head?

And does it sure feel nice?

If I said 'Don't Stop', would you comply?

What part of "no" don't you understand?

Aren't your eyes saying "yes"?

How can you tell what my eyes are saying, since you're looking at something considerably lower?

Why would I wanna look at that?

Well, honestly, who wouldn't?

What's so special about yours?

Isn't it obvious?

(And who's going to be the first to make some kind of snide comment -- Pov? :rolleyes:

)

Er, yours can grow a beard and then zap Lightning Lad's arm off?!?!

Yup -- pretty amazing, huh?

Oh-Kay.

Still don't wanna see, okay?

Did you forget the title of this thread again?

Would that surprise you?

No, but weren't you just bending the rules a little?

Aren't rules made to be bended if not broken?

Is this the rebellious side of Quis coming out?

How is asking a question being rebellious?

Wasn't the question implying a desire to bend, if not break, rules?

Are you injecting your own agenda into Quis's post?

Don't you think that was a reasonable interpretation, though?

Reasonable interpretation by a deranged schizophrenic, maybe?

Now I think you're just deliberately trying to be contrary... aren't you?

Deranged schizo says...what?

Did you really think you would get me with that old trick?

Did Stu just get pwned?

Can you believe that STU fell for that old trickl?

Check my post again, why don't you?

Should we just put Stu into exile now for that sleight of hand?

In any case, the contents of my first post referred to Quis's post, and not to LardLad's original post, so it couldn't have been falling for any trick embodied in LardLad's post, could it?

Should we ask the lawyer?

Shouldn't you check that post again?

Check which post?

Remember the one you edited of which we have at least two witnesses who'll testify as to the original contents in a court of law?

Weren't those the days?

In a court of law? Regarding what legal action?

Don't you just want to cop to a settlement in which you either 1) admit you're a deranged schizo or 2) act as my Rocky stand-in while I'm under the influence of bi-beer?

You won't forget that as your lawyer, I get a third of that settlement?

Which one are you rooting for?

Maybe Stu would prefer: 3) Stu promises that he will continue to post (in one I.D. or another) regularly after he hits 10,000?

How could you get a third of an admission that I'm a deranged schizo?

Perhaps, a third of the book or movie rights?

Do you think that would make a good movie?

I can has cheezburger?

Have you finally lost it STU?

And if you have lost it, where was the last place you looked?

Maybe I pinched it off last night?

Don't you know whether you did or not?

Was I supposed to keep an inventory?

Wouldn't it be practical (in case of lawsuit)?

Does Ben Matlock's seersucker qualify as a law suit? [Linked Image]

Doesn't he look more like a TV evangelist than a lawyer?

Are you dissing Matlock?

Is that what LW's Matlock looks like?

Would you feel let down if he doesn't?

Why would I feel let down?

Has this indifference been going on for long?

Are you trying to psychoanalyze me?

So why do you hate your mother?

Is it because she still dresses you in skirts and pigtails?

(Is it because she still dress you, period?!

)

We don't want to know the answer to that, do we?

Just how salacious are we?

Salacious? Us?

Would I be talking about anyone else?

Is that directed specifically at me?

Isn't everything?

Am I the be-all/end-all?

What does your wife say?

"Why haven't you done the dishes?"

Well, have you?

Isn't it obvious that he is too busy posting on Legion World to do the dishes?

Do you think he will be scolded for that?

Who can scold Lard Lad when he looks at you with that sweet lovable face and he makes his eyes all sad puppy-dog?

Are we talking about the same person?

Do you know anyone else that goes by the name "Lard Lad"?

Isn't there the donut icon from The Simpsons?

Mmmm, donuts..

Oh, sorry, can I get a dozen glazed to go?

Does this look like a Krispy Kreme or Dunkin Donuts store?

I don't know -- are there scores of overweight cops hanging around?

Cops? Where?!?!?

Do you have some reason to fear the police?

Ummm...no...because it's, uh, your weed...right?

Didn't I tell you I was just holding it for...Hey, where'd he go?!?

Lardy? I think he went off to be scolded by his wife, don't you?

Because he didn't do the dishes?

Knowing Lardy, it could be for any number of things, couldn't it?

I've never actually met Lardy, have you?

I haven't, and I don't think anyone else on LW has either, but maybe we should ask around?

HEY ! HAS ANYONE MET LARDY? OR MRS. LARDY?

Yowch! Turn down the volume a bit, won't ya?

Can't you turn it back up so a guy can hear while he's doin' dishes?

Shouldn't a guy concentrate on doing the dishes, rather than trying to do that and post on a message board at the same time?

Should we have a special day to honor Mrs. Lardy for all she puts up with?

If the goal were to sufficiently recognize the accomplishments of Mrs. Lardy (Lady Lard?) in putting up with Lardy, wouldn't we have to have such a day every day of the year?

Perhaps, but shouldn't we also celebrate other people on other days?

Who should we start with?

Would I do?

What wouldn't you do?

Would you be happy to know that "stabbing Kent Shakespeare to death" is one of the things I wouldn't do?

Could I reply that I "woould" be very happy, and happy to see you demonstrate your homage to Cobie's spelling abilities?

What chu talkin' 'bout Willis?

Do you know anyone in real life named Willis?

Is "Willis" an actual given name, or is it typically short for something else?

Do you think Willis Magahee could answer your question?

Did you know about him before, or did you get that by Googling "Willis"?

What do you think?

What if I'm ambivalent about the matter?

Then why bother asking the question in the first place?

Maybe because I'm more ambivalent about not answering?

If you don't know, how should I?

Mom? Is that you?

Tommy, can you hear me?

Can you hear me calling?

Excuse me, what did you just say?

Should I hit playback?

Was it important?

Could it have been?

How will we know?

Wouldn't someone have briefed us?

Why is Legion World loading so slowly for me today?

Is anyone else experiencing the same problem?

How do those questions answer the ones above them?

How do most of these questions answer the preceding question?

Is STU piercing the illusion that we have been maintaining an internal consistency when we may not have been?

Don't you think that by relating this question to the one preceding, despite a drift in topics, does maintain a consistancy, while an unrelated question violates the spirit of the thread?

Does it really matter?

Does anything really matter?

Getting a little existential?

Is existentialism passé?

Are you ambivalent about existentialism?

Am I experiencing deja vu?

Would you mind repeating that?

Am I experiencing deja vu?

Would you mind repeating that?

Am I experiencing deja vu?

Are you in a time loop?

Could we just do the Time Warp again?

Is that a dance?

Or some extremely difficult yoga position?

Have you seen the Yogi Bear yoga workout video?

Do you think I should?

Can you reach for the pic-a-nic basket?

Does the workout involve having sex with Boo Boo?

Why would you even think that?

Did you ever see the cartoon (no lie) where Yogi and Boo-Boo are shown sharing a bed?

What cartoon didn't show them sharing a bed (platonicly of course)?

Where can I see that?

Why would you want to?

Doesn't everyone have fond memories of Yogi, Booboo and the park warden guy?

Is that a threesome anyone really wants to see?

Did Ranger Smith swing that way?

Don't you think that more than a few LWers have fantasized about being in bed with two bears and a man in uniform?

Are shirted-but-pantless cartoon characters the inspiration for Pov's (ahem) "Lifestyle" choice?

But none of those cartoon characters are "anatomically correct" -- what does that say about Pov?

Do we really wanna speculate about that?

This is a thread about questions -- isn't speculation part and parcel of the theme?

Should we speculate about questions or question our speculations?

Are the two truly that different?

Ah, that is the question, is it not?

Or...is it?

Isn't that question implied in He Who Wander's question?

Or...is it?

Or is what?

What is what?

Doen't What cover second base?

Who?

Surely you are not saying that you don't recognize a line from Abbott & Costello's famous Who's on First routine?

But who's on first?

Who's First?

Will the first truly be last?

What's this line for anyhow?

Will you hold my spot?

How long will you be gone for?

How long will you wait for me?

Will you make it worth my while?

Don't I always?

How have you made it worth his while previously?

Just what is my while worth on the open market?

Shall we put it on eBay and see?

Actually, is now a good time to trust the market?

Can anything or anyone really be trusted these days?

Are you saying you don't trust me?

Will you catch me if I fall?

Do you think I'd ever let you down?

Are you ever gonna give, ever gonna give me up?

Have we just been Rick-rolled?

Maybe more like Rick-posted?

Do you click on everything people tell you too?

Do you still have trust issues?

Can I trust you?

Don't I look trustworthy?

[Linked Image]

Wouldn't you say you look...lonely?

What's so lonely-looking about me in that picture?

Where is everyone else?

Can't you see the legs of the little kid cut out of the picture?

Was the rest of that kid used for shark chum?

Why is it always shark chum with you?

What do you have against shark chum, chum?

Are you the 60's TV Batshark, now?

Isn't he... pulling your leg?

Got any Bat Shark Repellant?

Would you believe TWO cans of Bat Shark Repellant?

Are you saying that in a Don Adams/Get Smart tone of voice?

Do you think he ever 69'ed Agent 99?

Wasn't there a Get Smart movie where they accidentally set off a "nude bomb" at the end? Don't you think some hanky-panky occurred?

I understand the panky but how does the hanky come into play?

Don't you know the Hanky Code ?

1000...?

Is that a guess?

What if I were to tell you that it was to mark the number of posts in this thread, yet still adhere to the requirement that each post be in the form of a question?

Don't you know that the requirement of the thread is to answer the previous question with a question, not to post random questions?

Couldn't we start a thread for random questions?

Do you think Stu would be happier posting there?

Is he unhappy now?

Why would he be unhappy here?

Would anti-depressants help?

Would you like some of my Lexapro?

Is it manufactured by Lexcorp?

Do they make Batshark repellent?

Is a "batshark" some kind of bat/shark hybrid?

Or is is a shark that dresses up in a bat costume to instill fear into the cowardly criminals of the sea?

Would the criminals of the sea even know what a bat is?

Do you think we're stupid?

Are you saying that you are a "criminal of the sea"?

Isn't a shark already far scarier than a bat, anyway?

Wouldn't combining the two make for a bigger scare?

But isn't it true that some things are less than the sum of their parts?

If it's a baseball bat that's about to connect with your skull, isn't that scary enough?

isn't scarier to have a shark swinging that bat?

Wouldn't the shark have to hold the bat in his teeth and then he couldn't bite you?

What if he was a mutated shark who had hands?

What if he also had a laser beam attached to his head?

Do you think one of our resident artist could draw the mutated shark wearing a bat costume with a laser beam head attachment while wielding a baseball bat in order to see how truly terrifying he (or she) would be?

Are you daring them?

Or only making a detailed suggestion?

Which do you think will get the picture drawn?

Would $10 not help?

Are you suggesting we bribe them?

Quote

Originally posted by Quislet, Esq.:

Are you also wearing a bat costume and weilding a baseball bat?

And have a laser beam attached to your head?

Did I forget that part?

Is the laser beam attached to his head, or projecting out of it naturally?

Or were you just being polite?

Do you think I'm generally a polite person?

Do you act differently when not around me?

Are we ourselves?

Can anyone really know who he or she is -- really?

Wouldn't you know once you had figured it out?

How can you be sure that you figured it out?

Wouldn't you know?

Isn't knowing half the battle?

What's the other half? (the Joes never said!

)

Maybe the other half is being so lucky that you invariably bail out of a plane or tank or whatever right before it explodes?

And constantly dodging those realistic laser beams?

Was it their ability to dodge, or just Cobra's incredibly poor marksmanship?

Should they compare notes with Stormtroopers?

Originally posted by LardLad:

Who -- Joe or Cobra?

Isn't it the same difference?

Is that some metaphysical statement about the moral equivalence of good and evil?

Didn't I clearly point out that both had equally terrible aim?

Maybe I was just trying to throw you off?

Are you implying I have bad aim?

That depends -- what are you aiming at?

What are my options?

Bush or Ben?

Ben who?

you forgot already?

Forgot what?

Don't you remember?

Do you think I'm being facetious?

Do you care if I do?

Should I be apathetic?

Do you need permission to be apathetic?

Do I look like I care?

What does I care look like?

How do I look in this?

Do you want my honest opinion?

Would it be wise to offer an honest opinion to someone who could literally bite your head off?

Is this the point where I say "I suggest a new strategy, R2. Let the wookie win."?

Or could it be the point where you say, "Use the force, Luke!"?

Am I Luke's father?

Did you make it with Luke's mother?

Does she look like Natalie Portman (if so, then yes)?

What if she looked like Marilyn Monroe?

Before or after August 4, 1962?

you got something against zombie lovers?

Would that be people who love zombies or zombies who love people/each other?

Why can't it be both?

can't you make a decision?

Are you questioning my decision making abilities?

are you trying to pull some tricksey lawyer talk on me?

Have you been watching "Boston Legal"?

Was there a good episode on?

Aren't they all at least passably entertaining?

How can I answer that if I've never watched it?

Why don't you watch it and then answer the question?

What if I don't want to?

Why don't you just ignore the question then?

Where's the fun in that?

Is it all about the fun?

Why else would one bother to post here?

Perhaps it's a compulsive disorder?

Or is it a disordered compulsion?

Do you want to be cured of it (whichever it is)?

Is there a cure?

If there is, can I be the guinea pig for it?

Why do you want to be a guinea pig?

Isn't being diseased by inanity a horrible thing?

Why are you asking us?

Isn't it apparent I'm asking because I want to be cured of my attraction to inane threads and post-padding?

Can't you just go cold turkey?

Aren't they better heated first?

What can you heat them with?

Can you heat them with warm hugs to welcome home notre ami Pariscub?

What if the hugs are unwanted and unreciprocated?

Can you get an restraining order?

Do you believe that you are in danger of imminent bodily harm?

Do I have reason to be?

Aren't you the one asking for a restraining order?

Wasn't I suggesting that Lardy--not me--get a restraining order to ward off unwanted hugging?

I thought it was the restrainor that gave the orders and the restrainee that got the hugs, or...
is that uh, just me?

Would you like to come to my next party?

Will there be hugging?

Would you come if I said there'd be no hugging?

What if I'd prefer there be some hugging?

Where the heck are Cobie and Stu?

Why? Are they hugging?!?!?

Isn't that why I asked? (Cobie-->

<--Stu)

Or are you just planning yet another slashfic?

With those two, how would it be fiction, exactly?

Have you got evidence?

Only in his dreams -- eh?

Yeah, why exactly is it that Pov's so obsessed with the slash?

Would you believe I've always preferred the semicolon?

Would you be surprised if I said I think you actually prefer the "edit" button?

Isn't it our own little retcon?

What boot is this then?

The one that's up the @$$ of boredom and complacency?

Do you really need to use that euphemism here?

What is complacency a euphemism for?

Lazy-ass?

Could it be a euphamism for being constipated?

Wouldn't that be lazy colon (as opposed to the aforementioned semicolon)?

Should we consult webMD?

If one only has a semicolon, as opposed to a full colon, then where does all the, um... material end up?

Or a good English grammar site?

The shit ends up on a good English grammar site?

Isn't it likely that I was responding to your previous post and not Stu's?

Could it possibly end up on a grammar site that discusses nounal gerundial headed units?

Do you know of any such sites?

Wouldn't it be better to hope that such discussions were buried soon after that linguistics class I took in college?

Did that class leave you with Post Traumatic Stress Disorder?

Would you rather have CDO (That's OCD but with the letters in the proper order like they should be - dammit)?

Don't I already have that to a degree?

Didn't you think that joke was funny?

er...can you define funny, as it applied to your "joke"?

if all jokes are funny, how do you account for Phil Silvers?

Fill Silvers= funny cavities?

have you been doing cavity searches on others again?

What does someone have to do around here in order to get a cavity search?

Ask politely?

What if he asks gruffly?

Maybe he gets... more than he asked for?

Whatever could you mean?

Don't you know?

Should I?

Why wouldn't you?

Am I supposed to be a mind-reader?

Is anyone supposed to be anything?

Shouldn't people have expectations of themselves?

Couldn't you expect yourself to just go with the flow?

Where is the flow heading?

What's your flow like?

Isn't that a little too personal a question?

Was it about your Aunt Flo?

Don't you know that I don't have an Aunt Flo?

Wouldn't Aunt Flo be offended if she read that?

Would Aunt Flo be too embarassed to claim Quis?

<Aunt Flo:> Has my dear nephew been suffering these memory lapses for long?

Who are you and why are you so concerned about my memory?

Can I leave my $50 million dollar estate to somebody who doesn't remember me?

Can't you leave it to anyone you want?

Doesn't she want to leave it to me?

Is it in Monopoly money?

Do you think Aunt Flo has gone so batty that she can't tell real money from MOnopoly money?

Does she live in a belfry?

Will Bruce Wayne and Dick Grayson be able to hide their secret identities from her?

Why not, did Aunt Harriet ever discover them?

Wasn't she too busy doin' the nasty with Alfred to notice?

Is that in the latest Grant Morrison issue?

Would you buy an Aunt Harriet Vertigo title?

Would she be getting "buttled"?

Isn't the correct term "butlered"?

Are these double entendres intended to imply Harriet's getting some Backdoor Action from ol' Alfie?

Is somebody completely obsessed with sexual innuendo in his posting?

Don't you know Lardy by now?

Have we met?

Have you ever been to Dorchester?

Does driving by it count?

Didn't you see me waving as you drove by?

Was that you waving the gun?

Don't you know that you can get arrested for waving your gun in public?

So why were you waving it?

Didn't you also see the cute police officer nearby?

Was he impressed by your gun-waving skills?

Isn't that why the terms of Quis' parole don't let him leave Dorchester anymore?

Wasn't that put in there because of the indecent exposure charges?

For that they want to keep him there?

Don't they figure it's too late to save Dorchester?

Do you think we should all bear some responsibility for those who have gone astray?

Where is astray?

Isn't that where smokers put cigarette wastes?

Isn't that what the ground and sidewalk is for?

I suppose you're suggesting we should just use the ground and sidewalk as our toilet as well?

Don't most people who smoke like to do so in the bathroom?

Isn't disabling the smoke detector in airplane bathrooms illegal?

Do you think our society is suffering from a general breakdown in law observance?

wouldn't rising crime rates suggest that?

are crime rates really rising?

Would it help to check the FBI's web site for the statistics?

What if the FBI stats site has been hacked and replaced with fake data?

Why'd you do it?

How do you know who did it?

Isn't Kent a butler?

Does Aunt Harriet know that?

You think she'll go for just any butler and not Alfie in particular?

This is Aunt Harriet we are talking about, isn't it?

Is she a floozie?

Would you be surprized to find her picture in the dictionary next to the definition of "floozy"?

Wasn't your picture the one next to that entry?

Wasn't that in the Revised 5th Edition?

Are you still using that old edition?

Wasn't the Revised 5th ret-conned out of continuity after the Mirriam-Webster/American Heritage "When Words Collide" x-over?

Oh, no! Do you mean to tell me that even dictionaries are doing mega-crossover events now?

Are you going to wait for the trade paperback?

Should I invest that much money in it?

Are you a completist or not?

Can anyone afford to be a completist these days?

Are you including Bill Gates, Oparh Winfrey, and Warren Buffet in your definition of anyone?

Does fifty billion really go that far these days?

Which would you rather have, a week in Iraq or a few failed Investment Banks?

Are those the only choices?

How about one day in a failed Iraqi investment bank?

Do I at least get a muffin too?

Did you check your muffin for shrapnel?

Didn't the doctor say I needed more iron?

Which doctor? Dr. Strangelove?

Oh, do you know of Dr. Strangelove already?

How do you think I quit worrying and love the bomb?

Isn't that illegal in your state?

You mean a state of confusion?

How many electoral votes does that state have?

More important, how can we rig it so they go to our guy?

Hasn't the GOP already rigged the election?

Is GOP also spelled with "A.C.O.R.N?"

Shall we have a spelling bee?

Two B or not two B, isn't that the question?

Who are you? Shakespeare?

Isn't Shakespeare the guy who posted that comment about the GOP rigging the election?

Can I advise BB that the GOP seems to be propping up their ACORN allegations as a smokescreen to hide their own shennanigans?

Why would you want to spoil a nice message board with talk of politics?

Politics spoil everything else, so why not?

Did you miss me?

Is my aim improving?

what are you aiming at?

Wasn't I being pretty obvious?

Are you calling me dense?

Does the shoe fit?

Do sharks wear shoes?

Do you have red pumps in a size 10?

Do you need any nylons to go along with them?

Why? Is he planning a robbery?

Are you saying me in red pumps would be a crime?

Should we check with the fashion police?

Maybe the continuity cops instead?

Are we facing another ret-con?

Aren't we always?

Would you care to restate that question to keep it in line with the ret-conned version?

What if I don't care to?

Why should we care about continuity anyway?

Doesn't continuity provide stability and a framework on which the stories can build upon?

Isn't it too restrictive to allow the storytellers to go wild?

Haven't some great stories been told within the framework of continuity?

Would coloring inside the lines be considered continuity for kids?

It's been a while since that happened,don't you think?

Do you think the world would be a better place if we all took more time to color?

Wouldn't Crayola shareholders agree?

Have you eaten at a Crayola restaurant?

Where is the closest one to me?

I'm not familiar with the Boston area. Try googling it.

What does a Crayola restaurant serve, and why didn't Huey ask a question in that last post?

Could I have been counting on you to ask two?

So are you going to fix that post?

Would Huey not doing so rock Quis's world?

Do you really think I am that anal retentive?

Shouldn't we all retain ours?

Do we have to put our anuses on retainer?

Isn't that what your pimp does for you every weekend?

If I fix the post, will that put an end to the discussion of anuses?

Is there a-hole in that logic?

I take it, then, that the answer is no?

Maybe you're behind the rest of us here?

Butt can you make another punny reference to the buttocks?

If I can't will you hold it against me?

May I change the subject?

What are you going to change it to?

Didn't I try to change it already?

Were you successful?

It doesn't look like it, does it?

Aren't we discussing you now?

What's Huey's stance on anuses?

How is that even physically possible?

How graphic do you want my explanation to be?

Could you make it so un-graphic that we resume Cramer's suggestion for a new topic?

Why not just change the topic rather than ask for an explanation?

Could we pursue that strategy, then?

Should we bring it to an end?

Can we really expect you to do that?

Should I care about Joaquin Phoenix?

Do you want to be seen as a cold heartless unfeeling human being?

Why are you all so inquisitive?

Isn't it the nature of humans to be inquisitive?

Isn't this thread testimony to that?

(And what if I don't want to stand on anuses?!)

Is this thread a testimony to anything?

(Who's forcing you, HWWy?)

Can we stick to answering one question with another question?

Have we ever been able to stick to topic?

Do you want to?

Do we dare?

Would failure to do so find us in contempt of this topic?

What would the hypothetical punishment be?

How does mandatory posting about Celine Dion for a week sound?

How can you be so cruel?

Could we segue into talking about Dion & The Belmonts?

Why would we want to?

How long do you think YOU could talk about Celine Dion?

How long do you have?

Should we create a Celine Forum?

Shouldn't you be asking Nightcrawler that question?

How would Nighty respond?

What would Lighty do?

Who's Lighty?

Could that be Lightning Lad?

Perhaps it's Gary's hitherto unmentioned alter ego: Nighty and Lighty?

Gary's evil twin perhaps?

Or evil alt?

Aren't all alts evil?

Are you implying that Time Teller Lad is evil?

Was I implying?

Do I look evil to you?

Do evil people always look evil?

What does evil look like?

Does this poptart taste evil to you?

Is it Evillo-flavored?

Who could possibly be more evil than the queen of "E.V.O.O.", Rachael Ray?

Isn't she too short to be evil?

Who says short people can't be evil?

and who says Racheal Ray is evil?

Can you look back a couple of posts?

Maybe it's the E.V.O.O. that's evil?

How can you tell shes NOT Evil JOHN?? Do you have proof??

Isn't it impossible to prove a negative?

Why so pessimistic?

Do you want me to be a Pollyanna?

Would that be so bad?

Do you know how long it will take to get my hair in pigtails?

Wouldn't that put the rest of you in a compromising position?

Is Quis in any position to compromise?

Should I take a yoga class to help me get into position?

If you're near the pig's tail, wouldn't you rather get out of position?

Should we consult the Kama Sutra about positioning?

Did you get that just for the dirty pictures?

Why get it otherwise?

For the articles?

The, a and an?

Are those the only articles?

what about the Articles of Confederation?

Didn't the US Constitution make the Articles of Confederation useless?

Couldn't they have still written on the back?

Was there a paper shortage?

Who's still alive we could ask?

Am I still alive?

Do you feel okay?

Should we call a doctor?

What should we call a doctor?

If he's a PhD, "Your Holiness"?

Was that a question, exactly?

Surely you can see that is not a question and He Who Wanders messed up, can't you?

Why can't I keep my inanities straight?!?!

Is that like not knowing who is real and who is fictional?

Are you real?

What is "real"?

Isn't it what goes with "estate"?

How rich do you think I am?

Aren't all lawyers rich?

Quis, are you the one lawyer who's not sleezy?

If he were sleezy, would we let him play here?

Are we restrictive?

Are we elitist?

Are we the elite?

Should we be?

If we're the elite, then who are the masses?

Wouldn't that be all the unnamed denizens of Legion World who suffer during the periodic catastrophes and invasions we get?

Who cares about them?

Shouldn't we, seeing as they are the ones who make our costumes, wash our rocketships, and provide us with convenient shields when people fire blasters at us?

Why? Is our supply of them starting to run low?

In this bad economy, should we try to replace them?

Can we hire some elephants instead? Won't they work for... peanuts?

Have you seen what the price of peanuts is?

If the peanuts were contaminated with aflatoxin, could the elephants sue us?

Would my taking the elephants' case be a conflict of interest?

Do the elephants have cases, or just trunks?

Alright, who gave the elephants Speedos?

Would you rather see them swim without Speedos?

Can elephants swim?

Can't you just see elephants performing an aquatic ballet, a la Esther Williams?

Was Esther Williams an elephant?

Do you believe all the rumors?

Who's spreading them?

Is it the same people who make bed spreads?

Isn't bed spread a double entendre?

Can there be a single entendre?

If so, is it looking for its soulmate on eHarmony?

Aren't all double entendres from Winath?

Would it be cool or cruel to send all the Winath singles to Cargg?

Marrying a Carggite didn't harm an earthman named Chuck, did it?

But don't Winath singles have a lot of emotional baggage, which Chuck didn't have?

Fat guys don't carry extra baggage?

Couldn't we hope that sizeism would be but a memory by the 30th Century?

Wouldn't that be phat?

Did you even have to ax that?

Maybe the Gimli the dwarf would know?

Is he any relation to Jimlee the artist?

Is Jimlee a dwarf?

Is he short enough to be one?

How short do you have to be in order to be considered a dwarf?

Wouldn't Snow White know?

Does living with dwarves make you some sort of dwarf expert?

Shouldn't anecdotal experience count as much as formal training?

how much should it count?

Wouldn't someone with a degree in dwarf studies be more credible?

Does such a degree exist?

If it doesn't, should it?

Wouldn't that be a small wonder?

Could you also classify it as a minor accomplishment?

Are you belittle-ing them?

Are you saying Fat Cramer is small minded?

Wouldn't arguing such a position come up rather short on evidence?

How mini have made that error?

Isn't substituting "mini" for "many" pushing the joke just a little too far?

Would Verne Troyer think so?

Who would you rather sleep with, Verne Troyer or Herve Villechaize?

Depends...are you a necrophiliac?

Would I know unless I actually tried it?

Does anyone know the answer to that?

Wouldn't someone with omniscience know the answer?

Is anyone here omniscient?

Can we assume anyone posting to this thread is not omniscient seeing as they are asking a question?

If anyone here is omniscient, wouldn't they be posting here just to play the game?

Would this hypothetical omniscient person be able to definitively answer a rhetorical question?

Hypothetically?

Isn't that for me to know and the rest of you to wonder?

Is it okay if I wander instead?

Should I hop on rocks then?

Why not just hop over them?

Doesn't that depend on the size of the rock?

Are you saying some rocks are too big for your mighty prowess?

Are y'all gettin' your rocks off?

Isn't that a little too personal?

When has that ever mattered?

If it matters, would Tenzil eat it?

Can't he eat anything?

Perhaps he can, but could the consequences be too dire?

If they are, can't he just eat them too?

Do you think he tells the parents of a cute kid, "I could just eat him up"?

Should the parents take that as a compliment or a threat?

If threat, what threat level would it rate?

Don't Bismollian threat levels go according to the number of Tums needed?

Was Kem the most ridiculous LSHer ever?

Are you trying to antagonize MLLASH?

Would that be a bad thing?

Why would it be a good thing?

Don't you know that the madder MLLASH gets, the sexier he gets?

Is that what the Red Hulk's about?

Lardy, can I just say that's the funniest reply I've read in a long time?

Should I take a bow?

Welllll...wouldn't that be a bit much?

Isn't the Red Hulk a bit much?

Who ARE those hundreds of thousands of people who buy all of Jeph Loeb's junk??

Do you just want their names or do you want a complete biography?

How can this really be the same guy who wrote Batman: The Long Halloween?

How does that answer my question?

Isn't it obvious it was intended as a response to Stealth's question before you posted in the interim?

Oh, so you think you can ignore me, do you?

Did I hear something?

Is Lardy talking to himself again?

And if so, should we ignore him, humor him, or call a shrink?

Dontcha know "shrink" is a very bad word in the Lardyverse?

Are we in the Lardyverse?

Do you want to be?

Don't you know that this is Lardy's universe and the rest of us are just sort of borrowing it?

Then why am I a slave to my mancrush on you?

So is this really then the Rockyverse?

Isn't it truthfully the Lashverse?

So the Lardyverse is in the Rockyverse which is in the Lashverse?

Does that work for you?

How can I possibly find fault in it?

Are you okay with being essentially a twinkle in Lash's eye?

Does that make you a twinkle in mine?

How would you feel about that?

Does it get dark when I blink?

Do you blink less often than the average sentient?

Does your whole universe seem to go dark a lot?

Does it going brownish about twice a day count?

Is that how you perceive it?

Were you unaware that was an attempt at potty humor?

Was it?

Does your response imply that the attempt went totally over your head or that you're in denial?

Couldn't there be a third option?

Do you prefer multiple choice or essay tests?

What would the question be?

How does "Describe in detail the influence the Legion of Super-Heroes has had on both American and international culture and their resilience as a cultural icon for the last 50 years" grab you?

How would you work that as a multiple choice question?

Can you
a) answer this essay question
b) or not?

Would it be acceptable to write in "Don't Know"?

Isn't that always an answer choice to any question?

But wouldn't it rock in a multiple choice format!

Shouldn't you end that post with a question mark?

Does a lack of a question mark make it any less of a question?

and isn't it possible that the question mark just got a bit excited?

Now that it has had time to calm down, will the exclamation point change into a question mark?

Must even punctuation conform to norms?

Norm who?

You don't know Norm?

Wasn't he on Cheers?

Is that a drug?

If so, would Frasier prescribe it?

Did Frasier ever have prescription privileges?

Did Frasier need drugs?

He was a psychiatrist, wasn't he?

(This is a question-answer to both of the preceding questions!)

Didn't he speak in psycho-babble?

(this is a question answer to all three of the preceding question answers)

What's psycho-babble?

Is it similar to techno-babble?

Does it matter?

Would it matter to Frasier?

Would it matter to Kelsey Grammer?

Didn't he get arrested for drugs?

Don't they all?

Are you going to disillusion me about the wholesome image of <strike>Paris Hilton</strike> Miley Cyrus?

How do you define wholesome?

How does your dictionarey define "wholesome"?

How do we know he is using a wholesome dictionary that will define the word correctly?

Which version of the dictionary can be trusted?

Do you want my professional opinion as a librarian?

Wouldn't that be preferable to your professional opinion as a dentist?

How about your professional opinion as a lexicographer?

Wouldn't I have to be a dentist or a lexicographer to have such opinions?

Should you stick with your librarian's opinion, then?

What was the question again?

Aren't you paying attention?

Who can afford to in this economy?

How much does attention cost?

Isn't it a 2 year commitment in the service?

What's the early-cancellation penalty?

Can you handle the truth?

Is the truth out there?

I want to believe; don't you?

Can we trust no one?

Do you believe in magic in a young girl's heart?

Is there any question that can't be answered from a '60s pop song?

"How do I work this darn computer?"

Do you want my professional opinion as a librarian?

Are you qualified to give advice on computers or '60s pop songs?

Do you remember the 60's?

Would you believe a large part of my job is showing people how to use a computer?

Do you have to say SHHHHHHHH a lot?

Hasn't that been replaced with "Please use your cell phone in the lobby"?

Your library has a lobby?

If it doesn't, should we lobby for one?

Who should we lobby?

Could we ask our Librarian?

We have a Librarian?

Would you believe we share him with Reality?

What are our shares worth?

In this market do you really want to know?

What do you know about this market?

Does it sell fleas?

You talkin' 'bout Golden Fleas?

Is that a reference to mythology or am I missing something here?

Do you miss me?

Is your picture on a milk carton?

Do you think if I disappeared, they'd put my picture on a chum carton?

Isn't chum sold in buckets?

Is that premium chum?

Is that preferable to premium C.H.U.D.?

Did you have to reference that movie?

Not one of your faves, I take it?

Is there a grammatical term for the "dot" words like C.H.U.D. or L.E.G.I.O.N.?

Wouldn't it be a period/full stop?

Doesn't she mean acronyms?

What's the opposite of an acronym?

Wouldn't it be a complete sentence?

Do you get a complete sentence when you spell out an acronym?

Don't you usually get an extended proper noun rather than a sentence?

Isn't the grammatical word Cramey is looking for, period?

If so, why hasn't she confirmed that?

Can she confirm an answer to a question that she didn't know the answer to?

Maybe she could fake it?

Do you really think it is in Fat Cramer's nature to fake it?

Is anyone really brave/dumb enough to answer that?

Have we lost our capacity for forthrightness?

<and it was "acronym" I was looking for, all I could think of at the moment was "alphabet soup agencies">

er...can I speak to my lawyer before I answer?

You do possess the power of speech, don't you?

Is that really a power?

Doesn't that depend on who's talking?

Who is holding the conch shell?

Did Aquaman just join the conversation?

What did he say?

Who here speaks halibut?

does Snapper Carr?

Is Snapper Carr here?

Would Rick Jones suffice instead?

Does Rick Jones speak halibut?

Perhaps he's "Jonesin'" to learn?

Where has he indicated this yearning to learn halibut?

Didn't he become a sidekick just for the halibut?

Why are puns considered a lower form of humor?

Why does a bear go in the woods?

Have you asked one?

The woods or a bear?

If "woods" is plural, how can it be "one"?

Isn't "woods" in this context functionally singular (e.g., "The woods is a scary place")?

then why does "the woods are a scary place" sound better?

Could we blame Stephen Sondheim and/or The Brothers Grimm ?

Wouldn't that make more sense than blaming Georgia-Pacific?

How about blaming it on the Bossa Nova ?

Or blaming it on the boogie?

Will no one take responsibility?

Considering the financial crisis, do you have to ask?

Dude (or Lad), where's my bailout ?

Did someone want a bucket?

Will a handbasket do?

Is Helena around?

Didn't she go back to Earth-2 with the rest of the JSI?

Are you sure that is the Helena Abin is referring to?

Helena Montana: any relation to Hannah?

Does it matter, on this thread?

When did you get so nihilistic?

Is Kent hanging out with Exnihil?

Where has Exxy been lately anyway?

Perhaps he's fallen off the wagon and become Nihil again?

If so, can he say 'hi' to the pharoahs for me?

Aren't they notoriously unsociable?

Aren't they all dead, too?

What's your point?

Does there have to be one?

Probably not, 'cause it's not nice to point is it?

Does that depend on which finger is used?

Was it polite in Superman II when General Zod pointed his finger at the guy who went up in the air?

No, but did it make any sense either?

What kind of Kryptonian power was that?!?!?!

Wasn't there a Kryptonian sect which practiced finger-impelled levitation and revered crustaceans?

Whatever happened to Clawy, the super lobster?

Did General Zod levitate him too?

And what exactly was the deal with Non?

Maybe he was a super eunich with a snip-snip?

Does being made a eunuch make one unable to speak except in grunts?

Wouldn't it be more squeaks than grunts?

What is he: A man or a mouse ?

Is he really less of a man for being vocally challenged?

Doesn't that depend on whether he is also a eunuch or not?

Did Ursa make him a eunuch?

Is it possible that she made him 'Non' functional?

Was that a joke?

Isn't Tyroc screaming, not laughing?

Wouldn't screaming be more appropriate given the eunuch context?

Who made you the judge of what's appropriate, anyway ?

Does my reputation precede me?

How can I know without having received the program guide yet ?

Is it in the mail?

Should I believe them if they say it is ?

Didn't you send it to him, Lardy?

Do I look like the LMB secretary?

Do I look like a guy ?

Have you posted a pic?

Can you forgive me for presuming (honestly, about 95% of the active membership is male)?

Can't it wait until I figure out how computers work , LL ?

But, RL, what if I was born bereft of a forgiving nature ?

May I deduce, from those questions, that one needs a forgiving nature to figure out how computers work?

Does that mean we'll never see a pic of cleome?

Do you want a naked one?

Could it be that somebody has yours truly confused with her distant cousin ?

Isn't that a mistake anybody could have made?

Anybody, or just you?

What did I say?

If you can't recall, why should we care?

Was Quislet channeling Ray Charles ?

Does he have Georgia on his mind?

The US state or the country?

Wouldn't you be the one to decide that?

Who made me the decider?

weren't we discussing which (if any) Georgia was on your mind?

Why is Quislet thinking about Georgia O'Keefe?

Who doesn't think about Georgia O'Keefe?

Didn't Didio kill her off in one of these last few crises?

Don't you hate it when they retcon artists out of existence?

Wouldn't it be worse if they ret-conned me out of existence?

what would you care?

Wouldn't my legions of fans (ok my mom) be upset?

If you were retconned out of existence would anyone remember you?

What did he and Georgia ever do to that Didio chap, anyhow ?

Haven't you heard about the plane ride, the sleeping pills, and the lipstick?

Have you been reading The New York Times again?

Why read the Times when you can read the Anderson Valley Advertiser?

Would anyone who lives outside of Anderson Valley care?

Haven't you ever heard the phrase "As Anderson Valley goes, so goes the nation!"?

No; should I have?

Isn't it obvious that you should have?

Is that saying true though?

What if absolutes don't exist, and we all manufacture our own subjective versions of "truth ?"

don't we?

How would we ever know?

couldn't we ask Plato?

Isn't he too, er, dead to answer?

Isn't HWW insensitive toward the deceased?

Would you want to sit next to the deceased on a bus??

Would you want to bus the deceased?

Is it all that different than busing tables at the funeral reception ?

Who is the best caterer for a funeral reception?

Shouldn't we ask Dedman?

Where is dedman?

Could it be he's off searching for the missing letter "a ?"

Has he look in the ice cream parlol?

What is "parlol"?

Haven't you read Cobie's synopsis of the LMB?

Does Cobie invent words?

Would you call a typo a new word if it gets used over and over by other people?

Wouldn't that be a linguistic corruption?

Wouldn't something like "teh Google" simply be linguistic evolution?

Wouldn't that depend on whether or not it caught on?

Do you think it will catch on?

In the era of texting, do we need the language to become even more incomprehensible?

Texting ? Is that anything like counted cross-stich ?

Do I look like a seamstress to you?

What is a seamstress supposed to look like?

Didn't Seamstress Lad have a cameo in the old Normalman series ?

what was her power?

Did one have to have a power to appear in normalman?

Am I the only one who remembers the mock-Legion rollcall that went on for all twelve issues ?

(P.S.-- Anyone seen my Geritol ?)

[sulk]

Would you like to be the only one to remember that?

Did that really happen?

When is the TPB coming out?

AFOB, do you understand what not a paid endorsement means ?

Wow, can you believe I was kidding and didn't know it was real?

Didn't you know that I'm not real, either ?

You're not?

Are we getting existential now?

Do you think I'd know existential if it walked up and introduced itself?

Don't you think you're underestimating yourself?

What is the estimate on Arm Fall Off Boys?

Does the estimate include arms?

What if his asking price is an arm and a leg?

Can we substitute chicken parts, so long as they're free-range ?

HEY!
Don't you know I can't rip off a chicken leg, free range or otherwise, and beat a villain with it?

Have you been awarded the SPCA Kindness to Farm Animals Award?

And if not, why?

Could it be because PETA blocked the award saying that the mere idea of keeping animals on farms is evil beyond any measure?

What would PETA do if we launched a credible Vegetable Liberation movement?

Since their focus is on animals, would they care?

Wouldn't some PETA members join the Vegetable Liberation movement?

Would they get a multiple membership discount?

Wouldn't they rather get gift certificates to a steak house with an all-you-can-eat salad bar?

Who would toss the salad?

Would you like to?

Wouldn't they prefer someone with experience?

You've never tossed a salad?

You have?

Have you tossed your cookies?

Is that what that mess is behind the sofa?

Doesn't anyone clean behind there?

If we ignore it, will it go away?

Is that your answer for everything ?

Can't it just be my answer to the previous question?

Oh, weaseling out of responsibility again, are you ?

What do you mean "again"?

Doesn't cleome mean the standard meaning of the word "again"?

Why don't you ask her?

Can't she just respond to the question I already posted?

Am I cleome's keeper?

Do you want to be?

How much does the job pay?

What do you think would be a fair wage?

What if I just opted to pay him with yesterday's leftover chicken parts-- unless he prefers soup ?

Is it minestrone?

Does payment in chicken mean he's worth more than paying peanuts, or am I being carnicentric?

In Thailand, isn't it possible to throw both chicken and peanuts into the same soup pot ?

Does one have to be in Thailand to make Thai soup?

Can't Thailand live on as a happy memory of culinary delight, even here in what mr_cleome refers to as "our crappy, pathetic one-ass kitchen ?"

Do you really need our permission to hang onto cherished memories?

Would I be on the internet this much without truckloads of kitchen-related anxiety ?

Is that your only reason for being on the internet?

What other reason could I possibly need ?

Should we get some pizza delivered so we can keep posting without stopping for a meal break?

Is kitchen anxiety sufficient reason to order out?

Do we really need an excuse to order out?

Can we really afford to order out?

Isn't Cobie paying?

In that case, shall we order a double?

A double what?

As long as we're not paying, who cares?

Would anyone here be too proud to accept free food on Cobie's dime?

How much free food can even Cobie buy for a dime?

Don't you realize that "dime" used in that context is not literally referring to 10 cents?

Don't you know that as a lawyer I can take words at their face value and not infer meaning?

But don't lawyers constantly try to interpret laws and contracts in ways that will help their cases?

Hasn't it occurred to you that Cobie might be my client?

are you a defense attorney?

If so, how does that apply to my last question?

Could we see your licence?

Mine, or Quis's?

Did I ever tell you about the time I portrayed a lawyer for an indy animation project ?

Could you submit an affidavit describing the alleged incident?

Why? Is she suing the director?

Can't I wait until after the project makes millions to sue ?

Do you think it will really make millions?

Millions of what?

In these times of economic uncertainty, wouldn't you grab at millions of anything?

A million autographed pictures of Monte Markham ? Millions of squirrel pelts ? A million cases of canned squid, maybe ?

Are there a million people who know who Monte Markham is?

Why do you always have to haggle ?

Isn't haggling an ancient and revered custom throughout many parts of the world?

Doesn't that description also apply to prostitution?

Have you ever employed a prostitute?

and by prostitute you mean?

What is the general meaning of prostitute?

Doesn't it generally mean a woman who engages in sexual intercourse for money?

Who else is going to have this stuck in their head now ?

Risque stuff isn't new, is it?

Anyone got ideas for Christmas gifts for 60+ year old parents?

Isn't your presence usually all they want?

Does anyone want to help me shovel?

Will there be hot chocolate afterwards?

Can I have rum in my hot chocolate ?

Cab I have hot chocolate in my rum?

Does anyone else think that Lardy already has had a bit too much rum?

How much is too much?

Isn't it any amount that is more than I have?

Why do I get the feeling that you don't have any rum at the moment?

Should we be drinking rum at breakfast?

Isn't it all right, if breakfast isn't until 1 PM, anyway ?

Is breakfast the new lunch?

Is rum really inappropriate for any meal?

What about serving rum as a substitute for a meal ?

Do you want to be thought of as an alcoholic?

Are you saying that it wouldn't turn out like this , except with snow ?

Would you actually want that to happen?

If you had enough rum in you, would you care?

Wouldn't you care if you had no more rum?

Why would you ever run out of rum when there are still liquor stores with glass windows in small towns with part-time police departments?

Is Kent advocating felonious behavior?

Perhaps he only advocates it for others ?

Was I advocating anything, or was I merely noting that AFOB has no viable excuse to run out of rum?

Have you considered a career in rumrunning ?

Why do you think I spent last year in Newfoundland?

What if I said rumrunner when I really meant rimrunner ?

Is rimrunner related to rimjobs?

Oh, what have I done ?

Can you forgive my depraved mind?

How much time do I have to decide ?

How long does it take the Final Jeopardy music to play?

What is 30 Seconds?

Isn't it half a minute?

Wasn't I supposed to phrase my answer in the form of a question?

Isn't that the point of of this thread and said game show?

Oh this is a game, is it?

are there prizes?

Do you get the Legion World Board Game?

Is it sold in fine toystores coast to coast?

Aren't those unavailable for a thousand years?

Does a thousand years matter to a person with a time machine?

Do you have a time machine?

Here's mine
[Linked Image]

Dude, you don't have one?

Does yours work?

Anyone else remember Late 1970s\' Victorian England ?

Who can remember with all the drugs floating around in that time period?

What would H.G. Wells think if he arrived in 2008?

Wouldn't he go back determined to alter the events in the time stream that got us here?

Would he necessarily see the present as bad?

Would he see Earth as overcrowded?

Doesn't that depend on whether he shows up in New York City or the Gobi Desert?

Why did everyone else find drugs inside their Xmas cracker and I didn't ?

Didn't I send you Xmas crackers too?

Are you callin' me a "cracker"?

Would you rather be a "Ding Dong"?

Are you setting Lardy up for more innuendo?

If so, wouldn't a better snack be "Ho-Ho"?

Are there any Drake apple pies left?

Aren't they next to the Rockhopper Roads ice cream?

Have you never heard of that East-Coast specialty, Drake\'s Cakes?

Who's stronger during the post-reefer munchie fight: The Drake or The Tastykake ?

I'm in the Midwest--why should I be familiar with an East Coast confection?

Do you mean that Midwesterners aren't entralled with all things on the East Coast?

Are cakes confections, and vice versa ?

Isn't "confection" defined as "a sweet preparation, such as [but not exclusive to] candy"?

Am I the only one who thinks "sweet preparation" sounds medicinal somehow ?

Can't edible goodies have medicinal value?

Can I convince the insurance company to cover snack cakes ?

Wouldn't a lawyer be better able to argue that point?

Are you volunteering, Quis?

Are you an advocate for volunteerism, Huey?

Isn't it better to volunteer others than to do it yourself?

What if others who are volunteered don't cooperate?

isn't that where the threat of grave bodily injury comes into play?

Did anyone else know Quis was so hardcore?

Do you think I'd let them live?

Are you not as kind as you appear?

Is it unkind to eat cookies for breakfast?

Unkind for who?

Do cookies have feelings?

Would cookies be offended if we didn't eat them?

Don't s'mores just cry out to be eaten?

Can we genetically breed s'mores to speak so they can tell us to eat them?

What if I only like s'mores as friends ?

Who said you had to marry 'em?

But I can't back out of my sacred pledge, can I ?

You can, can't you, if you catch the s'mores in adultery?

What if I can't shell out for a private eye to catch them in the act ?

Are they particularly lecherous?

Is Lard Lad a s'more?

Is he solid on each side and squishy in the middle?

Would it be best to ask Mrs. Lard Lad that question?

Is she accepting questions at this time?

Shouldn't she hire a personal secretary?

Do I have the right qualifications for the job?

Could Lardy trust you with his wife?

Could Lardy trust his wife with Shark Lad?

But... what of Shark Lad's wife and/or insignificant other-- vis-a-vis the s'more issue ?

Can we trust Mrs. Shark Lad with s'mores?

"Mrs. Shark Lad?" When did that happen?

Do sharks use bridal registries ?

Aren't sharks polygynous by their nature?

Polygonal ?

More triangular, don't you think?

Isn't a triangle a polygon?

And dontcha know "polygynous" isn't the adjective form for "polygon"?

But did you know that the adjective form for adjective is "adjectival"?

But isn't it odd that the word "adjective" is itself a noun?

Is that any odder than the number of nouns that have been verbed?

Care to provide an example?

Do we have to examplify everything?

How else would we get schooled?

Do we need schooling?

Ain't we dun lernt enuf alsreddy?

Did Kent just prove Quis's case?

Oh, it's my case now, is it?

You won't take it?

Will you sign this contract stating my fee is $1,500.00 per hour with a minimum of 5 hours a week guaranteed?

Will I qualify for a job in the fileroom ?

Is your power super-filing?

Wanna' see my letter of recommendation from Policy Pam ?

Do you have two additional references?

Will one from a schizophrenic be OK?

Would the schizophrenic count as one or two references?

Are we confusing shizophrenia with Multiple Personality Disorder?

I don't know; are (both of) you?

Which one of me are you asking?

Doesn't my parenthetical comment indicate the plural?

Correction: which TWO of me are you asking?

Can I leave before he starts arguing with himself ?

Would you stop butting in while I do so?

Do you want this thread all to yourself(ves)?

Should we give them some alone times?

Will we be responsible for what happens?

Haven't we lost the right to plausible deniability?

Is that a right or a privilege?

What's the difference?

Wouldn't a lawyer know the difference?

Doesn't he just want to see if WE know?

Well, do you?

Why should I tell you?

What's in it for me if I tell ?

would you believe a brand new porche?

What if I'd prefer a baby's arm holding an apple ?

What did you do with the rest of the baby?

Doesn't dedman have it ?

Does Dedman really seem like the sort of bloke who carries around limb-less infants?

Who said he was carrying it ?

Didn't dingoes eat that baby?

Was it dingoes or hyenas?

Are there wild hyenas in Australia?

Couldn't we import some and disrupt the fragile eco-system?

Isn't that the way it's always been done?

Do you think we should try a new way?

Was it Reed Richards or Clinton I who was always jabbering on and on about "The Third Way ?"

Who's Reed Clinton?

Does it matter?

Don't you think it matters to Sue Richards?

How many different version of Sue are there nowadays, anyhow ?

How many would you like there to be?

Wasn't there a boy named Sue?

Was he married to a girl named Reed?

"What's in a name?"

Why not ask Shazam?

Does it make sense that a wizard's name is also an acronym?

Does it make sense that a wizard sits in a cave?

Would you rather lie down in a cave?

Is there a bed in there?

Would the wizard be able to lock this thread after the next post?

Don't you mean a moderator?
