Posted by Fat Cramer on :
 
Could a mod please close the previous thread, since it's gone over 2000 posts?
 
Posted by Quislet, Esq. on :
 
Is there anything else I can do for you?
 
Posted by Everyday Girl on :
 
Ohmygod! Like how much time and money do you have?
 
Posted by dedman on :
 
Would you believe 3 hours and $22.50?
 
Posted by He Who Wanders on :
 
Do you think he'll take us to lunch?
 
Posted by Kent Shakespeare on :
 
Could he host a nickel social for 450 of his closest friends?
 
Posted by Stealth on :
 
How about if we share 22-and-a-half silver dollar pancakes?
 
Posted by LardLad on :
 
Can I have two for nipple-concealment purposes?
 
Posted by Stealth on :
 
Right now, or once the pancakes have cooled off?
 
Posted by LardLad on :
 
Won't they stick better if not cooled?
 
Posted by Arachne on :
 
Depends. Are you using syrup?
 
Posted by LardLad on :
 
Isn't that essential?
 
Posted by ultrajo on :
 
Wouldn't that leave a sticky mess?
 
Posted by LardLad on :
 
Got something against hot, sticky messes, do ya?
 
Posted by Kent Shakespeare on :
 
Do you have to take everything so personally, Lardy?
 
Posted by LardLad on :
 
Don't you find me personable?
 
Posted by Kent Shakespeare on :
 
How can I find you when you keep hiding from me?
 
Posted by LardLad on :
 
Who said I'm hiding?
 
Posted by Abin Quank on :
 
Has anyone seen Lardy?
 
Posted by LardLad on :
 
Am I wearing camouflage or something?
 
Posted by Abin Quank on :
 
What was that noise?
 
Posted by Kent Shakespeare on :
 
Is anyone in here with you, Abin?
 
Posted by Abin Quank on :
 
Do you see anyone, Kent?
 
Posted by LardLad on :
 
Is this Lard Lad's latest strange new power?
 
Posted by Abin Quank on :
 
What?

Did anybody else hear that?
 
Posted by Arachne on :
 
Hear what?
 
Posted by Quislet, Esq. on :
 
How can anyone "hear" anything on this message board?
 
Posted by He Who Wanders on :
 
Don't some of us "hear" the voices of celebrities when others post?
 
Posted by Quislet, Esq. on :
 
Who do I sound like then?
 
Posted by He Who Wanders on :
 
Did I say I was one of the posters who "hear" voices?
 
Posted by Quislet, Esq. on :
 
Doesn't "us" includes the speaker?
 
Posted by Pov on :
 
Is the speaker a woofer or a tweeter?
 
Posted by He Who Wanders on :
 
Doesn't "some of us" include or exclude the speaker?
 
Posted by Arm Fall Off Boy on :
 
Is it an exclusive club?
 
Posted by LardLad on :
 
If so, what are the criteria for inclusion and exclusion?
 
Posted by Fat Cramer on :
 
Are the criteria unwritten, but understood among the membership committee?
 
Posted by Quislet, Esq. on :
 
Who's on the membership committee?
 
Posted by ultrajo on :
 
What are they wearing?
 
Posted by He Who Wanders on :
 
Is it a bipartisan committee?
 
Posted by Quislet, Esq. on :
 
If it is a bipartisan committee, does that mean they are all wearing two piece bathing suits?
 
Posted by dedman on :
 
Are these two piece suits Wicked Weasel bikini's?
 
Posted by Abin Quank on :
 
Wasn't Lad Boy the only person wearing one of those?
 
Posted by Fat Cramer on :
 
So who else besides Lad Boy is on the committee?
 
Posted by Kent Shakespeare on :
 
Does any committee need more than Lad Boy?
 
Posted by Quislet, Esq. on :
 
Can there ever be a committee of one person?
 
Posted by He Who Wanders on :
 
Would it count as a committee if Lad Boy has multiple personalities?
 
Posted by cleome on :
 
Could we get all the personalities some warmer clothing, given that Winter is on its way?
 
Posted by He Who Wanders on :
 
Is so much clothing needed if all the personalities share the same body?
 
Posted by cleome on :
 
But they could end up needing multiple layers, anyhow, right?

Did my question above seem too suggestive, even for this crowd?
 
Posted by Quislet, Esq. on :
 
How many layers is necessary?
 
Posted by He Who Wanders on :
 
Should we ask Lad Boy or one of his personalities?

(Is it humanly possible to be too suggestive for LW?)
 
Posted by Quislet, Esq. on :
 
How will we know if we are asking Lad Boy or one of his personalities?
 
Posted by cleome on :
 
Is that really important?
 
Posted by Quislet, Esq. on :
 
Is anything really important?
 
Posted by He Who Wanders on :
 
Would it be important to Lad Boy? (And if we keep conjuring his name, do you think he'll post?)
 
Posted by LardLad on :
 
Would that please you, Huey?
 
Posted by Quislet, Esq. on :
 
Would it only please Huey or can it please the rest of us too?
 
Posted by Kent Shakespeare on :
 
What's to stop us?
 
Posted by Fat Cramer on :
 
Would Huey stop us?
 
Posted by LardLad on :
 
Is he jealous of everyone else's pleasure?
 
Posted by Fat Cramer on :
 
Who's got any pleasure around here, if we're still uncool?
 
Posted by LardLad on :
 
Bah! Isn't that thread just blindly discriminating?
 
Posted by Quislet, Esq. on :
 
Can we park the Time Bubble in the handicap spot if we are blindly discriminating?
 
Posted by Kent Shakespeare on :
 
Those things are mostly transparent. Do we dare risk some yuppie smashing into it with his Hummer?
 
Posted by LardLad on :
 
Is anyone else vaguely disturbed that a vehicle exists called a "Hummer"?
 
Posted by Everyday Girl on :
 
Ohmygod! Why should that like disturb you Mr Lard-Butt?
 
Posted by LardLad on :
 
Maybe I'm more titillated. Now are you disturbed?
 
Posted by Arachne on :
 
Who wouldn't be?
 
Posted by LardLad on :
 
Would Pov?
 
Posted by Quislet, Esq. on :
 
Is there anything that would disturb Pov?
 
Posted by Kent Shakespeare on :
 
Aren't there limits to even the best-funded scientific inquiries?
 
Posted by LardLad on :
 
Are you afraid to learn Pov's limits?
 
Posted by He Who Wanders on :
 
Do we need a scientific inquiry to determine Pov's limits?
 
Posted by LardLad on :
 
Is that what it'll take?
 
Posted by He Who Wanders on :
 
Who is going to fund such an inquiry?
 
Posted by LardLad on :
 
Are you volunteering?
 
Posted by He Who Wanders on :
 
Do I look independently wealthy?
 
Posted by LardLad on :
 
Isn't that what everyone thinks about you?
 
Posted by He Who Wanders on :
 
How did I get such an awesome reputation?
 
Posted by LardLad on :
 
Was it those photos that got circulated?
 
Posted by He Who Wanders on :
 
Were the photos doctored?
 
Posted by cleome on :
 
Wouldn't the shop have included that in the processing fee?
 
Posted by Quislet, Esq. on :
 
Do you have the fee schedule?
 
Posted by LardLad on :
 
Is that relevant?
 
Posted by Fat Cramer on :
 
Is Quislet, Esq. also independently wealthy?
 
Posted by Kent Shakespeare on :
 
If so, why aren't we sponging off of him?
 
Posted by Quislet, Esq. on :
 
Kent, are you offering to give me a sponge bath?
 
Posted by cleome on :
 
Or would you prefer a nice sponge roll instead?
 
Posted by Kent Shakespeare on :
 
Have you made enough for all of us, Cleome?
 
Posted by LardLad on :
 
Are they bad for my diet?
 
Posted by Abin Quank on :
 
Isn't that a silly question?
 
Posted by cleome on :
 
Are we limited to posting only serious questions now?
 
Posted by Kent Shakespeare on :
 
Wouldn't Abin's post-count drop to around 200 (including all his alts) if we deleted all of his silly posts?
 
Posted by Abin Quank on :
 
Would you please point out the 200 serious posts so I can delete them?
 
Posted by Quislet, Esq. on :
 
Can you see where I am pointing?
 
Posted by He Who Wanders on :
 
Is that a pointed question?
 
Posted by Abin Quank on :
 
Why are you pointing at one of Cobie's posts?
 
Posted by He Who Wanders on :
 
Am I?
 
Posted by Kent Shakespeare on :
 
Is Cobie now an Abin alt-ID?
 
Posted by Everyday Girl on :
 
Ohmygod! Mr Shakyrear, Aren't you one of Mr Cobie's alt-ID's?
 
Posted by Quislet, Esq. on :
 
Would you admit to being one of Cobalt Kid's alts?
 
Posted by LardLad on :
 
Why would I admit to something that isn't true?
 
Posted by SharkLad on :
 
You've never lied for fun?
 
Posted by Kent Shakespeare on :
 
Is he a South Carolina legislator?
 
Posted by Everyday Girl on :
 
Ohmygod, Like would he admit it if he was?
 
Posted by Quislet, Esq. on :
 
Do you have something against South Carolina?
 
Posted by Outdoor Miner on :
 
Who doesn't have something against South Carolina?
 
Posted by Everyday Girl on :
 
Ohmygod! Are we like ever allowed to answer any of these questions?
 
Posted by Kent Shakespeare on :
 
Who would stop us?
 
Posted by LardLad on :
 
Perhaps a big bubba redneck from South Carolina?
 
Posted by Kent Shakespeare on :
 
Are big bubba rednecks from SC really proud of their legislators?
 
Posted by LardLad on :
 
Do many states have legislators to be proud of?
 
Posted by Kent Shakespeare on :
 
How should I know?
 
Posted by LardLad on :
 
Can't you try a guess?
 
Posted by Blockade Boy on :
 
Would anyone agree with it anyhow?
 
Posted by LardLad on :
 
Agree with what, exactly?
 
Posted by Kent Shakespeare on :
 
Do people ever agree about anything?
 
Posted by LardLad on :
 
Don't they agree to disagree?
 
Posted by Kent Shakespeare on :
 
Have you asked them?
 
Posted by LardLad on :
 
Would that prove anything?
 
Posted by Kent Shakespeare on :
 
Who is looking to prove anything?
 
Posted by LardLad on :
 
Maybe those with a chip on their shoulder?
 
Posted by Kent Shakespeare on :
 
to a Brit, would that be "those with a crisp on their shoulder?"
 
Posted by LardLad on :
 
Should we ask a Brit about that?
 
Posted by Blockade Boy on :
 
Aren't they probably asleep at this time?
 
Posted by LardLad on :
 
Should we wake one of them up?
 
Posted by Quislet, Esq. on :
 
What are you, a rooster?
 
Posted by LardLad on :
 
Do I look like a hen?
 
Posted by Blockade Boy on :
 
Was that rhetorical?
 
Posted by LardLad on :
 
Would a rhetorical question be answerable with a question?
 
Posted by Quislet, Esq. on :
 
Didn't you just do so?
 
Posted by Jerry on :
 
Would he know if he did?
 
Posted by LardLad on :
 
Are you questioning my self-awareness?
 
Posted by Jerry on :
 
Are you defending your self-awareness?
 
Posted by LardLad on :
 
Are you prosecuting it?
 
Posted by Jerry on :
 
Did you answer a rhetorical question with a question and then question whether it could be done?
 
Posted by He Who Wanders on :
 
Can you clarify that last question?
 
Posted by Jerry on :
 
Can you tell me which part you didn't understand?
 
Posted by He Who Wanders on :
 
Can you start over from the beginning?
 
Posted by Outdoor Miner on :
 
Is that wise?
 
Posted by He Who Wanders on :
 
Is wisdom a criterion for this thread?
 
Posted by Jerry on :
 
Is wisdom a criterion for being a smart aleck?
 
Posted by LardLad on :
 
Shall we consult the Criterion Collection?
 
Posted by He Who Wanders on :
 
Is it better to be a smart aleck or a wiseacre?
 
Posted by Pov on :
 
Is your last name Baldwin?
 
Posted by He Who Wanders on :
 
Acre Baldwin? Doesn't have a ring to it, does it?
 
Posted by LardLad on :
 
Isn't it past time we bombed the Baldwins?
 
Posted by He Who Wanders on :
 
Do you think Obama would authorize such a strike?
 
Posted by LardLad on :
 
Do they oppose his health care plan?
 
Posted by He Who Wanders on :
 
Have they ever gone public on the issue?
 
Posted by LardLad on :
 
Aren't they raging Democrats?
 
Posted by He Who Wanders on :
 
Do all Democrats support the health care plan?
 
Posted by LardLad on :
 
Isn't there considerable in-party opposition?
 
Posted by He Who Wanders on :
 
Do you watch C-SPAN?
 
Posted by LardLad on :
 
Should I?
 
Posted by He Who Wanders on :
 
Shouldn't everyone?
 
Posted by LardLad on :
 
Isn't it incredibly boring?
 
Posted by He Who Wanders on :
 
Doesn't it depend on how you define "boring"?
 
Posted by LardLad on :
 
Well, do they use mixed martial arts much on C-SPAN?
 
Posted by He Who Wanders on :
 
You need mixed martial arts to find something interesting?
 
Posted by LardLad on :
 
Haven't you ever secretly wanted to see politicians kick the crap out of each other?
 
Posted by Quislet, Esq. on :
 
Why does that sound like your own secret fantasy?
 
Posted by Kent Shakespeare on :
 
how could you say it is secret?
 
Posted by LardLad on :
 
Yeah, didn't I just tell everyone?
 
Posted by Kent Shakespeare on :
 
what other secrets can you reveal?
 
Posted by LardLad on :
 
Isn't it your turn?
 
Posted by Kent Shakespeare on :
 
What should I tell you?
 
Posted by LardLad on :
 
How about your deepest, darkest secret?
 
Posted by Pov on :
 
Are you asking to give him a colonoscopy?
 
Posted by Kent Shakespeare on :
 
Does he ask that of a lot of people?
 
Posted by LardLad on :
 
What kin of a perv do y'all think I am? [Styx]
 
Posted by cleome on :
 
Every kind, perhaps?
 
Posted by LardLad on :
 
Who would you rank higher on the Perv Scale, me or Pov?
 
Posted by Kent Shakespeare on :
 
how can we choose between the two of you?
 
Posted by LardLad on :
 
Are you waffling or being diplomatic?
 
Posted by cleome on :
 
How much time before we must reach our final decision?
 
Posted by LardLad on :
 
How about the length of the Jeopardy theme?
 
Posted by cleome on :
 
Have you got it cued up on the jukebox?
 
Posted by LardLad on :
 
Yep! Should I start playing it now?
 
Posted by cleome on :
 
Is the rest of the voting bloc prepared?
 
Posted by Kent Shakespeare on :
 
shouldn't we wait for Alex?
 
Posted by LardLad on :
 
Do you think Trebek would associate himself with this inanity?
 
Posted by cleome on :
 
Oh, does he think he's too good for us, now?
 
Posted by Kent Shakespeare on :
 
doesn't it seem like he's more indulgent in silliness than he was years ago?
 
Posted by LardLad on :
 
Does he like the Sean Connery thing from SNL?
 
Posted by Kent Shakespeare on :
 
Why wouldn't he?
 
Posted by LardLad on :
 
Well, the Darrell Hammond playing Connery gets some zingers on Trebek, doesn't he?
 
Posted by Rockhopper Lad on :
 
Is it just me, or can anyone else not take Alex Trebek seriously since he shaved the mustache?
 
Posted by Kent Shakespeare on :
 
Does even Alex take himself that seriously anymore?
 
Posted by Quislet, Esq. on :
 
Did he ever?
 
Posted by Kent Shakespeare on :
 
Didn't you ever see him in the 70s or 80s?
 
Posted by Lard Lad on :
 
Yeah, what about that 'fro/perm of his that used to be so prominent?
 
Posted by Stealth on :
 
And what about Scarecrow's brain?
 
Posted by Quislet, Esq. on :
 
How about a little fire Scarecrow?
 
Posted by Lard Lad on :
 
Though I like the cute Wizard of Oz references, do they really address the question of Alex Trebek's 'fro/perm?
 
Posted by Stealth on :
 
No, but when did that ever stop us? [Wink]
 
Posted by Lard Lad on :
 
Will you stop when you get enough?
 
Posted by Stealth on :
 
Do you understand any of the other lyrics to that song?
 
Posted by Lard Lad on :
 
Do you?
 
Posted by Stealth on :
 
If I did, then why would I be asking?
 
Posted by Quislet, Esq. on :
 
Isn't your asking if Lardy understand the lyrics different from his asking if you understand them?
 
Posted by Stealth on :
 
Would I be evasive if I pointed out that you forgot an "s" in front of the first "understand", making it seem like you're posting in Tarzan/Grimlock-speak?
 
Posted by Lard Lad on :
 
Do Grimlock understand words?
 
Posted by Stealth on :
 
If Grimlock like to hear stories, so Grimlock must understand words?
 
Posted by Lard Lad on :
 
Grimlock understand words to song?
 
Posted by Stealth on :
 
Grimlock not too busy saving universe to try to understand song?
 
Posted by Everyday Girl on :
 
Ohmygod like do you guys like have to murderize the english like language like that or what?
 
Posted by Stealth on :
 
Like, is it any more totally grody to the max than, like, what you do to the English language?
 
Posted by Everyday Girl on :
 
Ohmygod! Like... Like... Who says Grody to the Max, anyway?
 
Posted by Quislet, Esq. on :
 
Someone who is stuck in the 80's perhaps?
 
Posted by Stealth on :
 
Does Peppermint Patty's teacher count?
 
Posted by Everyday Girl on :
 
Ohmygod! Would some like Lard help them get unstuck?
 
Posted by Stealth on :
 
What if I ENJOY being stuck in the 80s?
 
Posted by Everyday Girl on :
 
Ohmygod! Well does that like meen I shouldn't try to get some lard to rub on you?
 
Posted by Jerry on :
 
Where is Lard Lad when you really need him?
 
Posted by Stealth on :
 
Aren't the 90s much more deserving of our disgust than the 80s?
 
Posted by Everyday Girl on :
 
Ohmygod! 80's... 90's... like what's the diff, isn't it all old like dusty stuff?
 
Posted by Stealth on :
 
What if I told you that one day you'll have a decade that you want to preserve?
 
Posted by Everyday Girl on :
 
Ohmygod! Gram like does that stuff, but why would I like want to boil a decade with sugar and put it in a canning jar?
 
Posted by Quislet, Esq. on :
 
Why not?
 
Posted by Lard Lad on :
 
So when do I get to rub some lard on Stealth anyway? [LOL]
 
Posted by Quislet, Esq. on :
 
Have you ever heard the phrase "When pigs fly"?
 
Posted by Pov on :
 
Do you know the origin of that saying?
 
Posted by Kent Shakespeare on :
 
Doesn't it obviously predate modern aviation?
 
Posted by Quislet, Esq. on :
 
Do you think pigs can pilot a 747?
 
Posted by Kent Shakespeare on :
 
Do you think they can't ride Coach?
 
Posted by cleome on :
 
Was that supposed to sound even filthier than whatever Lardy was planning on posting?
 
Posted by Lard Lad on :
 
Am I the one who suggesting rubbing lard on someone in the FIRST place?!?!
 
Posted by Kent Shakespeare on :
 
Can't we all just agree to assume that, whether true or not?
 
Posted by Dev Em on :
 
Is that really possible?
 
Posted by Kent Shakespeare on :
 
Can't we try?
 
Posted by Lard Lad on :
 
Can we try NOT to defame my spotless, upstanding character?
 
Posted by Kent Shakespeare on :
 
Where have you been hiding this spotless, upstanding character you refer to?
 
Posted by Lard Lad on :
 
Would you believe it's bound and gagged in my nonexistent basement?
 
Posted by cleome on :
 
Did you use the Grimbor Guide, or something less futuristic?
 
Posted by Lard Lad on :
 
Care to guess? [Big Grin]
 
Posted by cleome on :
 
Who, me? [Eek!] [Eek!]
 
Posted by Lard Lad on :
 
Anyone else I could be asking?
 
Posted by Kent Shakespeare on :
 
How about thousands of other LWers?
 
Posted by cleome on :
 
Have any of them participated in this kind of thing before?
 
Posted by Lard Lad on :
 
Isn't S&M the norm rather than aberrant behavior among LWers?
 
Posted by Fat Cramer on :
 
Who decides what is aberrant?
 
Posted by Quislet, Esq. on :
 
Wasn't Dubya the Decider?
 
Posted by Kent Shakespeare on :
 
Did he Decide anything, except to stuff Halliburton's pockets?
 
Posted by Fat Cramer on :
 
Would that be considered aberrant behavior these days?
 
Posted by cleome on :
 
Was it even considered aberrant behavior before the reign of Bush II?

[No]
 
Posted by Dev Em on :
 
Isn't it precedent at this point?
 
Posted by Fat Cramer on :
 
Do you think we could establish some utopian nation based on universal honesty?
 
Posted by Quislet, Esq. on :
 
What are you, some type of communist or something?
 
Posted by Eryk Davis Ester on :
 
How many types of communists are there?
 
Posted by He Who Wanders on :
 
Should we consult the Communist Manifesto?
 
Posted by Kent Shakespeare on :
 
Is that really the best directory, since most splinter groups emerged well after its publication?
 
Posted by He Who Wanders on :
 
Has CM ever been updated?
 
Posted by Abin Quank on :
 
By Whom?
 
Posted by Kent Shakespeare on :
 
Who would want to?
 
Posted by Abin Quank on :
 
Are these the right questions to ask?
 
Posted by Kent Shakespeare on :
 
What are wrong questions to ask?
 
Posted by Abin Quank on :
 
Which ones did Lardy Ask?
 
Posted by Quislet, Esq. on :
 
Only Lardy can ask wrong questions?
 
Posted by Kent Shakespeare on :
 
Doesn't he excel at it?
 
Posted by He Who Wanders on :
 
Should we bestow upon him the Award of Excellence for Wrong Questions?
 
Posted by Kent Shakespeare on :
 
Mightn't that swell his head?
 
Posted by Lard Lad on :
 
Can it get any more swollen than it already is? [Razz]
 
Posted by Kent Shakespeare on :
 
Dare we take the risk?
 
Posted by cleome on :
 
What would life be without a little risk-taking now and then?
 
Posted by Quislet, Esq. on :
 
Is this going to be one of those "It's a Wonderful Life" moments?
 
Posted by cleome on :
 
Could we please wait until at least Halloween to start talking about Xmas stuff?
 
Posted by Kent Shakespeare on :
 
If so, then what kind of Halloween stuff should we discuss now?
 
Posted by Quislet, Esq. on :
 
Have you ever been to Spooky World ?
 
Posted by Kent Shakespeare on :
 
Have you ever been to Funky Town?
 
Posted by Quislet, Esq. on :
 
Do I smell funky?
 
Posted by Kent Shakespeare on :
 
um, well... how can I put it...?
 
Posted by He Who Wanders on :
 
As tactfully as possible?
 
Posted by Quislet, Esq. on :
 
Do tact and Kent go together?
 
Posted by He Who Wanders on :
 
Kenttact? Tactkent? New neologisms?
 
Posted by Lard Lad on :
 
Would it help if we all do a big musical number of "We Go Together"?
 
Posted by cleome on :
 
Will Rocky be willing to serve as our vocal coach?
 
Posted by He Who Wanders on :
 
Will he coach us in "Face the Face"?
 
Posted by Fat Cramer on :
 
How much does he charge for coaching?
 
Posted by Quislet, Esq. on :
 
How much are we willing to spend?
 
Posted by Kent Shakespeare on :
 
How much have you got?
 
Posted by Lard Lad on :
 
Is it enough to buy an Iphone?
 
Posted by He Who Wanders on :
 
Would you rather buy an Iphone or be coached in singing?
 
Posted by Kent Shakespeare on :
 
Couldn't you coach my singing by calling me on my iPhone?
 
Posted by Lard Lad on :
 
Is there an app for that?
 
Posted by Kent Shakespeare on :
 
Isn't there an app for everything now?
 
Posted by Quislet, Esq. on :
 
Do you really want me to describe a gross bodily function and ask if there is an app for that?
 
Posted by Kent Shakespeare on :
 
Since when do you ask me before you do such things?
 
Posted by Quislet, Esq. on :
 
Can't I be polite every now and then?
 
Posted by Kent Shakespeare on :
 
Wouldn't it ruin your reputation? And get you disbarred?
 
Posted by Quislet, Esq. on :
 
What reputation?
 
Posted by Kent Shakespeare on :
 
Does everything everyone says about you behind your back not count as a reputation?
 
Posted by He Who Wanders on :
 
Or would that qualify as gossip?
 
Posted by Fat Cramer on :
 
Just what is the difference between gossip and information?
 
Posted by He Who Wanders on :
 
Isn't gossip intentionally malicious or slanderous information?
 
Posted by Kent Shakespeare on :
 
does it have to be?
 
Posted by Zardi, the Eternal Man on :
 
Would it be any fun if it wasn't?
 
Posted by Quislet, Esq. on :
 
So what do you have on Kent Shakespeare?
 
Posted by Zardi, the Eternal Man on :
 
Why should I tell you?
 
Posted by He Who Wanders on :
 
Didn't he ask nicely?
 
Posted by Kent Shakespeare on :
 
Have you seen what he bills for asking nicely?
 
Posted by Zardi, the Eternal Man on :
 
What does him asking nicely do for me?
 
Posted by Kent Shakespeare on :
 
Don't you get a warm, fuzzy feeling inside?
 
Posted by Zardi, the Eternal Man on :
 
What good is a warm fuzzy feeling?
 
Posted by Kent Shakespeare on :
 
Why do you have to ask? Haven't you ever had one?
 
Posted by Lard Lad on :
 
Does pubes-to-pubes contact count?
 
Posted by Rockhopper Lad on :
 
Can you say that on national television?
 
Posted by Quislet, Esq. on :
 
Who's on national television?
 
Posted by Rockhopper Lad on :
 
Am I the only person who sometimes imagines that someone in another universe is seeing us all as a TV show?
 
Posted by Jerry on :
 
Did you ever see The Truman Show?
 
Posted by cleome on :
 
Can my TV-universe self be just like me, only taller and thinner and sporting a super-expensive chic wardrobe and a fabulous haircut?
 
Posted by Fat Cramer on :
 
Why not?
 
Posted by Quislet, Esq. on :
 
What if it throws off the karmic balance of the universes?
 
Posted by Lard Lad on :
 
Wouldn't it be worth it?
 
Posted by Kent Shakespeare on :
 
Could we let cleome try, so we can all find out?
 
Posted by Lard Lad on :
 
Should we live vicariously thru cleome?
 
Posted by Kent Shakespeare on :
 
Is there something wrong with that?
 
Posted by Quislet, Esq. on :
 
Are you that self-loathing that you want to live vicariously through someone else?
 
Posted by Kent Shakespeare on :
 
Does one really have to be self-loathing to be able to share the experience if cleome gets her wish?
 
Posted by Lard Lad on :
 
You got something against self-loathing?
 
Posted by Eryk Davis Ester on :
 
Don't you hate yourself for giving into self-loathing?
 
Posted by Lard Lad on :
 
Who said I was giving into it?
 
Posted by Kent Shakespeare on :
 
Isn't it obvious from your behavior?
 
Posted by Lard Lad on :
 
What behavior was that?
 
Posted by Kent Shakespeare on :
 
Don't you pay attention to yourself?
 
Posted by Lard Lad on :
 
Are you accusing me of being self-loathing and vain?
 
Posted by Rockhopper Lad on :
 
Ironic though it may seem, don't they often go together?
 
Posted by Kent Shakespeare on :
 
Isn't it sad?
 
Posted by Quislet, Esq. on :
 
Would it be funnier if set to Yakety Sak?
 
Posted by Lard Lad on :
 
Do you have amusing video sped up to go along with it?
 
Posted by Quislet, Esq. on :
 
Do I have to do everything?
 
Posted by Kent Shakespeare on :
 
So you did get the memo after all?
 
Posted by cleome on :
 
Did Quis mean to link to this video?

[Streaky] [Krypto]
 
Posted by Quislet, Esq. on :
 
Isn't that just the cutest thing ever?
 
Posted by He Who Wanders on :
 
Isn't it obvious that the dog wanted to be chased? [Love]
 
Posted by Kent Shakespeare on :
 
Do you really think that wasn't the first time that cat had to give that mutt the ol' what-for?
 
Posted by Lard Lad on :
 
I don't have time to watch the damn linked video, so..."the ol' what-for"? Were the dog and cat doin' the nasty?
 
Posted by Quislet, Esq. on :
 
What could that sweet little doggy have done to make the mean old cat angry?
 
Posted by Fat Cramer on :
 
Is that video symbolic of some nation-states?
 
Posted by Kent Shakespeare on :
 
must everything be political?
 
Posted by Quislet, Esq. on :
 
Are we all not political creatures in one form or another?
 
Posted by Fat Cramer on :
 
Do you feel very political in your flying lemur form?
 
Posted by He Who Wanders on :
 
Would a flying lemur vote Democrat or Republican?
 
Posted by Zardi, the Eternal Man on :
 
When is that silly cake going to hit you?
 
Posted by Lard Lad on :
 
Depends...is the cake a Democrat or a Republican?
 
Posted by Quislet, Esq. on :
 
Does it have blue icing or red icing?
 
Posted by Zardi, the Eternal Man on :
 
What if it has both?
 
Posted by Lard Lad on :
 
Can it go both ways?
 
Posted by Zardi, the Eternal Man on :
 
Would you like to know for sure?
 
Posted by Lard Lad on :
 
How can we be sure?
 
Posted by Zardi, the Eternal Man on :
 
Isn't it obvious?
 
Posted by Lard Lad on :
 
Would I be asking if it was?
 
Posted by Zardi, the Eternal Man on :
 
Can you recognize the answer?
 
Posted by Lard Lad on :
 
Is it spelled out in frosting?
 
Posted by Zardi, the Eternal Man on :
 
Would you pause long enough to read it if it was?
 
Posted by Lard Lad on :
 
Does tasting count?
 
Posted by Zardi, the Eternal Man on :
 
Are there any letters left?
 
Posted by Lard Lad on :
 
Looks like...F. U.?
 
Posted by Zardi, the Eternal Man on :
 
Isn't that upside down?
 
Posted by Lard Lad on :
 
Was that insult too veiled for you?
 
Posted by cleome on :
 
Could both of you please go and stand in your respective corners until the bell rings?

Are you dancing around the issue?
 
Posted by Lard Lad on :
 
Would you find that dirty?
 
Posted by cleome on :
 
Just what are you insinuating here, Dear Sir?
 
Posted by Lard Lad on :
 
Didn't you get what we were riffing on?
 
Posted by Quislet, Esq. on :
 
Couldn't cleome know what you were riffing but choose to go in a different direction?
 
Posted by Lard Lad on :
 
Wouldn't you like to know for sure whether she got the reference?
 
Posted by Quislet, Esq. on :
 
Will anything be missing from my life if I don't know for sure?
 
Posted by Lard Lad on :
 
Depends...did you get the reference?
 
Posted by Quislet, Esq. on :
 
Aren't reference material for in library use only?
 
Posted by Lard Lad on :
 
Does your evasiveness mean you don't get the reference?
 
Posted by Kent Shakespeare on :
 
Can't he get the reference but still opt to spin the question into new terrain?
 
Posted by Lard Lad on :
 
Would doing that mean he'd had the time of his life?
 
Posted by Zardi, the Eternal Man on :
 
Can you have the time of your life more than once?
 
Posted by Lard Lad on :
 
Does that depend on whether you've ever felt this way before?
 
Posted by Zardi, the Eternal Man on :
 
How many different ways can you feel?
 
Posted by cleome on :
 
Is there nothing more than feelings?
 
Posted by Lard Lad on :
 
Do you swear it's the truth?
 
Posted by Zardi, the Eternal Man on :
 
Do you ever stop swearing?
 
Posted by cleome on :
 
Does swearing even count when there's no Bible available to swear on?
 
Posted by Lard Lad on :
 
Do I owe it all to you?
 
Posted by Zardi, the Eternal Man on :
 
Will you ever pay up?
 
Posted by Kent Shakespeare on :
 
Does swearing on a bible really mean more than other forms of swearing?
 
Posted by Lard Lad on :
 
Do you consider "Dirty Dancing" references ad nauseum a form of payment?
 
Posted by Zardi, the Eternal Man on :
 
Did I just hear Kent?
 
Posted by Lard Lad on :
 
Was he dirty dancing?
 
Posted by Zardi, the Eternal Man on :
 
Did you hear fabric ripping?
 
Posted by Lard Lad on :
 
Is that his soundtrack?
 
Posted by Zardi, the Eternal Man on :
 
Is it on 8-track?
 
Posted by Kent Shakespeare on :
 
You really are stuck in the past, aren't you?
 
Posted by Lard Lad on :
 
Am I like Captain America, then?
 
Posted by Kent Shakespeare on :
 
Did you think I meant you, Lardy, instead of Zardoz?
 
Posted by Lard Lad on :
 
Isn't it always about me? [Big Grin]
 
Posted by cleome on :
 
Which Marvel Universe did Zardoz originate from?
 
Posted by Zardi, the Eternal Man on :
 
Wasn't it the one where Kent is Modok?

[ September 26, 2009, 06:48 PM: Message edited by: Zardi, the Eternal Man ]
 
Posted by Lard Lad on :
 
Did you mean "perhaps the one where Kent is Modok?", Zardi? Or are you too stupid to remember the rules of the thread?
 
Posted by Zardi, the Eternal Man on :
 
Did I forget the Question Mark?
 
Posted by Kent Shakespeare on :
 
Don't you forget a lot of things, old-timer?
 
Posted by cleome on :
 
Would a handful of these jog his memory?
 
Posted by Zardi, the Eternal Man on :
 
Well, aren't you just the cutest little deputy?
 
Posted by Lard Lad on :
 
Almost as cute as the leader, ain't she?
 
Posted by Kent Shakespeare on :
 
Isn't that a pretty wide definition of "cute" you are suggesting?
 
Posted by cleome on :
 
But isn't Lardy less wide since commencing his reduction plan?
 
Posted by Zardi, the Eternal Man on :
 
Isn't his reduction plan just banning wide angle lenses?
 
Posted by cleome on :
 
Are you confusing Lardy's reduction plan with mine, perhaps?
 
Posted by Zardi, the Eternal Man on :
 
Aren't you two in it together?
 
Posted by Kent Shakespeare on :
 
Is Zardoz implying something beyond sharing the top ranks of LW leadership?
 
Posted by cleome on :
 
Would even Zardi resort to such obvious innuendo when it's not even an election year?
 
Posted by Zardi, the Eternal Man on :
 
Would I need to?
 
Posted by Lard Lad on :
 
Is everyone clear on the length of leadership terms here?
 
Posted by Zardi, the Eternal Man on :
 
Wasn't yours over a few months ago?
 
Posted by Lard Lad on :
 
Have we been observing term lengths strictly in recent years?
 
Posted by Zardi, the Eternal Man on :
 
Would STU be able to answer that question?
 
Posted by Lard Lad on :
 
Have you seen STU here lately?
 
Posted by Kent Shakespeare on :
 
Has anyone really ever seen STU, or has it merely been a reoccurring actor hired by the real STU?
 
Posted by Zardi, the Eternal Man on :
 
To STU or not to STU... Is it even a question?
 
Posted by Lard Lad on :
 
Is STU a verb now?
 
Posted by Quislet, Esq. on :
 
Are you daring to question STU?
 
Posted by Zardi, the Eternal Man on :
 
Why should I worry about some third rate Magician?
 
Posted by Quislet, Esq. on :
 
STU is a magic man?
 
Posted by Zardi, the Eternal Man on :
 
Isn't he a puppy?
 
Posted by Lard Lad on :
 
Maybe a slut puppy?
 
Posted by Zardi, the Eternal Man on :
 
Did you have to go there?
 
Posted by Lard Lad on :
 
Haven't you heard about the time I was transformed into a chick and STU groped me?
 
Posted by Zardi, the Eternal Man on :
 
Have you heard of me vomiting in my hat? [Disgusting]
 
Posted by Quislet, Esq. on :
 
Could you hum a few bar so I can fake it?
 
Posted by Kent Shakespeare on :
 
Can we all get the lyrics printed out so we can accompany Quis?
 
Posted by Zardi, the Eternal Man on :
 
Hmmm - Hmmm - Hmmm-hmmm
[Disgusting] [Disgusting] ??
 
Posted by Kent Shakespeare on :
 
Is that really a question?
 
Posted by Quislet, Esq. on :
 
How long did you have to practice to be able to vomit in a questioning tune?
 
Posted by Zardi, the Eternal Man on :
 
Do you really need to know?
 
Posted by Lard Lad on :
 
Should we celebrate Zardi's having at least one skill?
 
Posted by Zardi, the Eternal Man on :
 
As opposed to your zero skills?
 
Posted by Kent Shakespeare on :
 
Lardy can pilot a zero? Did he fight in WW2?
 
Posted by Zardi, the Eternal Man on :
 
The zero pilots did lose, didn't they?
 
Posted by Lard Lad on :
 
Didn't I hear they all went kamikaze after seeing your ugly face?
 
Posted by Quislet, Esq. on :
 
Doesn't that depend on how you define "lose"?
 
Posted by Zardi, the Eternal Man on :
 
Is it possible for a Kamakaze Pilot to win?
 
Posted by He Who Wanders on :
 
Doesn't that depend on how you define "win"?
 
Posted by Lard Lad on :
 
Doesn't that depend on how you define "depend"?
 
Posted by He Who Wanders on :
 
Doesn't it all depend on the definition of "is"?
 
Posted by Lard Lad on :
 
Doesn't that depend on what "it" is?
 
Posted by He Who Wanders on :
 
Is there indeed an ultimate signifier?
 
Posted by Lard Lad on :
 
Is that kinda like the Ultimate Nullifier?
 
Posted by He Who Wanders on :
 
Does everything have to have a comic book reference?
 
Posted by Lard Lad on :
 
Does that bother you?
 
Posted by He Who Wanders on :
 
Should it?
 
Posted by Lard Lad on :
 
Doesn't your question above imply you were bothered?
 
Posted by Quislet, Esq. on :
 
Aren't you just assuming that it implies that?
 
Posted by Kent Shakespeare on :
 
What are the implications of that?
 
Posted by Zardi, the Eternal Man on :
 
Can't you figure anything out yourself?
 
Posted by Quislet, Esq. on :
 
Could it be that he is asking others to see if they have a different point of view?
 
Posted by Zardi, the Eternal Man on :
 
How could that possibly be useful?
 
Posted by Kent Shakespeare on :
 
Is Zardoz an example of the old axiom, "You can always tell a know-it-all, but you can't tell him much?"
 
Posted by cleome on :
 
Or perhaps "Zardi" is an ancient name meaning "He Who Talks Out Of His Hat"?
 
Posted by Lard Lad on :
 
Close, Clee--but 's actually "He Who Talks Out Of His ASS"! [Yes] [LOL]
 
Posted by Quislet, Esq. on :
 
That was a question?
 
Posted by cleome on :
 
Can we blame a momentary lapse of reason and move on?
 
Posted by Lard Lad on :
 
Do we need an apology from me first?
 
Posted by cleome on :
 
Have you asked Quis, given his board seniority and all?
 
Posted by Kent Shakespeare on :
 
Can't we all just forgive an occasional blunder?
 
Posted by Lard Lad on :
 
Is everyone agreeable to that?
 
Posted by Quislet, Esq. on :
 
Don't you think we'd be more forgiving if you go back and edit your statement into a question?
 
Posted by Kent Shakespeare on :
 
Does it really matter, since whoever posts next will bring us onto a fresh page?
 
Posted by Lard Lad on :
 
"Whoever"? Like me?
 
Posted by Kent Shakespeare on :
 
Don't you count as a Who?
 
Posted by Lard Lad on :
 
Am I a Dr. Suess character?
 
Posted by Kent Shakespeare on :
 
Do you live in yonder lair?
Do you leap up into the air?
 
Posted by Lard Lad on :
 
Do I like green eggs and ham?
 
Posted by Quislet, Esq. on :
 
Are you going to recite the whole book?
 
Posted by Ghost Girl on :
 
Can his failure to respond be interpreted as a "no?"
 
Posted by Quislet, Esq. on :
 
Isn't it "silence signifies assent"?
 
Posted by Kent Shakespeare on :
 
But if you ask someone to read something, and they clam up instead of complying, isn't it more likely that they are refusing the request?
 
Posted by Quislet, Esq. on :
 
Maybe they are just resting up their voice, don't ya think?
 
Posted by Rockhopper Lad on :
 
Did I miss storytime?
 
Posted by Kent Shakespeare on :
 
Isn't it always storytime?
 
Posted by My Whee Fem on :
 
Have you got a story to tell, Kent?
 
Posted by Lard Lad on :
 
Is it about a man named Jed?
 
Posted by Ghost Girl on :
 
Didn't he tell it at the Security Office?
 
Posted by Quislet, Esq. on :
 
Did he hear through the grapevine?
 
Posted by Kent Shakespeare on :
 
Does one w(h)ine about what one heard at the grapevine?
 
Posted by cleome on :
 
If life hands you grapevines, why not make dolmathes?

[Matter Eater Lad]
 
Posted by Quislet, Esq. on :
 
What do dolmathes taste like?
 
Posted by cleome on :
 
Why not just drop by here this weekend and find out?
 
Posted by Quislet, Esq. on :
 
Are you going to pay for my plane ticket?
 
Posted by cleome on :
 
Isn't it enough that I'm buying all the food and wine?
 
Posted by Abin Quank on :
 
Is it ever enough?
 
Posted by Kent Shakespeare on :
 
Is too much ever enough?
 
Posted by Abin Quank on :
 
Didn't I just ask that?
 
Posted by Kent Shakespeare on :
 
Didn't I replace "it" with "too much," thus making it a different question?
 
Posted by Abin Quank on :
 
But is it really a different question?
 
Posted by Kent Shakespeare on :
 
did your question ask a relative specific like "too much," or rely on a vague pronoun "it?"
 
Posted by Abin Quank on :
 
Does it make any difference?
 
Posted by Kent Shakespeare on :
 
Aren't you the one who inquired as to how our questions were different?
 
Posted by Quislet, Esq. on :
 
Are you going to answer Abin or continue to be all philosophical upside our face?
 
Posted by Fat Cramer on :
 
Isn't philosophy a noble pursuit?
 
Posted by Quislet, Esq. on :
 
Noble? Didn't we get rid of nobility?
 
Posted by Stealth on :
 
Isn't that part of the reason more people lack social skills today?
 
Posted by Quislet, Esq. on :
 
Are yous saying I don't got no good manners?
 
Posted by My Whee Fem on :
 
Isn't she saying that you have No-Good manners?
 
Posted by Kent Shakespeare on :
 
Didn't Quis just ask the same question? [Wink]
 
Posted by Abin Quank on :
 
Haven't we been thru this before?
 
Posted by Quislet, Esq. on :
 
Did you ever get the feeling of deja vu?
 
Posted by Kent Shakespeare on :
 
Haven't we been thru this before?
 
Posted by Legolas on :
 
Did you ever get the feeling of deja vu?
 
Posted by Kent Shakespeare on :
 
Can we think of any more ways to repeat ourselves?
 
Posted by Quislet, Esq. on :
 
Are the two or more of us able to call to mind addition manners of reiterating?
 
Posted by Kent Shakespeare on :
 
If not, could we move on to greener pastures?
 
Posted by Abin Quank on :
 
When did you become a herbivore?
 
Posted by Kent Shakespeare on :
 
Can't carnivores stalk herbivores on their own feeding ground?
 
Posted by Abin Quank on :
 
So does that make a pasture the carnivore's feeding ground?
 
Posted by Fat Cramer on :
 
Do carnivores actually eat the ground?
 
Posted by Ghost Girl on :
 
mightn't some carnivores eat at the Ground Round?
 
Posted by Kent Shakespeare on :
 
Is meat at the Ground Round really edible anymore?
 
Posted by cleome on :
 
Could you define "edible" for the folks back home?
 
Posted by Kent Shakespeare on :
 
Can't the folks back home bother to Google it themselves?
 
Posted by Quislet, Esq. on :
 
Wouldn't the use of a dictionary be better for finding the definition of a word than Goggle?
 
Posted by Kent Shakespeare on :
 
You mean dictionaries are useful for something besides propping doors or windows open?
 
Posted by Zardi, the Eternal Man on :
 
Would any of you mudanes actually understand a real answer?
 
Posted by Quislet, Esq. on :
 
Will we ever get a real answer from you?
 
Posted by Zardi, the Eternal Man on :
 
Can you count to 21 on your fingers and toes?
 
Posted by He Who Wanders on :
 
Can I count one finger or toe twice?
 
Posted by Fat Cramer on :
 
Why stop at twice?
 
Posted by Kent Shakespeare on :
 
Can Zardi learn how to spell "mundane" before he lectures us on knowledge?
 
Posted by Zardi, the Eternal Man on :
 
I'm so sorry, is the correct spelling Mud Brain?

Isn't it our God-given right to reprimand our leaders?
 
Posted by Quislet, Esq. on :
 
What if you are a non-believer?
 
Posted by He Who Wanders on :
 
Do your rights happen randomly?
 
Posted by cleome on :
 
If they're random, wouldn't they be better classified as privileges, rather than rights?
 
Posted by Lard Lad on :
 
Privileges are random?
 
Posted by cleome on :
 
Don't they depend upon the random acts of kindness from a capricious universe and/or supreme deity?
 
Posted by Fat Cramer on :
 
Is your supreme deity capricious, or possibly just overworked?
 
Posted by Quislet, Esq. on :
 
Where does God take a vacation?
 
Posted by cleome on :
 
Have you considered adding Him as a Facebook friend and finding out?

But why would (insert pronoun of choice here) do that?


Truth and Justice shall Prevail!

Would a generic dryer sheet be considered Unitarian? Or possibly Atheist?

Posted by cleome on :
 
At my advanced age, why would I need to bother with such trifles?

Posted by Fat Cramer on :
 
Would an I.D. listing your age as 21 be helpful?
 
Posted by Zardi, the Eternal Man on :
 
Would an ID listing her age as 21 be even remotely believeable?
 
Posted by cleome on :
 
ID's usually don't state an age, as opposed to a year of birth, do they?
 
Posted by Lardi the Incorruptible on :
 
Doesn't date of birth kinda serve the same purpose?

What if you're being proofed by people who can't do the math?

Are dental magazines valuable collector's items?

Is there toothfully any reason to think they would?

Do puns make your teeth hurt?

Is Zardi really "industrial-grade?"

Does Kent somehow imagine that he's funny?
 
Posted by Blockade Boy on :
 
Isn't it good to be imaginative?

But isn't it better to actually be funny?

Is it better to be the punchline or the punching bag?

Doesn't that depend on personal preferences?

Can't there be an objective measure of quality?

Who is objectively qualified to answer that question?

Are answers, objective or otherwise, permitted?

Why not just secure the answer in a neighboring thread?

Would the neighboring thread charge rent?

Wouldn't that be a sudden and jarring abandonment of precedent?

Friends share nekkid pictures of each other? [Confused]

Do you really need me to put quotation marks around the word friend?
 
Posted by Lardi the Incorruptible on :
 
Would your "friend" appreciate your showing other people nekkid pictures of him?

Would the friend mind if the pictures were "nekkid"?

What do you mean "just a lawyer"?

Judges usually make more money than lawyers, don't they?

Why is how much money a person makes used to determine the value of a particular person?

Do you think that will ever happen?

What if it's already happened, but we were out of town at the time?
 
Posted by He Who Wanders on :
 
Does that mean it happened for all of, what, two weeks?

Is that how long we were out of town?

And while you're at it, why don't you blame them for everything bad, like I do?*

Have you been reading old MAD Magazines?
 
Posted by Lardi on :
 
Do ANY of us read MAD anymore?
 
Posted by cleome on :
 
Have you considered doing a formal survey to find out?
 
Posted by Quislet, Esq. on :
 
Wouldn't an informal survey do?
 
Posted by cleome on :
 
How would we verify the results then?
 
Posted by Fat Cramer on :
 
Couldn't we just do another informal survey?
 
Posted by Quislet, Esq. on :
 
Are you shooting for a non-ending, non-repeating infinite survey?
 
Posted by cleome on :
 
And can a multi-Earth survey ever be accurate, given the constant retcons involved?
 
Posted by He Who Wanders on :
 
Is accuracy even a consideration so long as fans are buying the surveys?
 
Posted by Lardi on :
 
Has "survey" suddenly become an analogy for comics here?
 
Posted by Quislet, Esq. on :
 
Don't you mean "synonymous" instead of "analogy"?
 
Posted by Lardi on :
 
Isn't "analogous" the proper adjectival form to use with "synonymous"?
 
Posted by Quislet, Esq. on :
 
Weren't you trying to say that "survey" and "comic book" were the same thing rather than like each other?
 
Posted by cleome on :
 
Should you be blaming Lardi when it was probably me that started all the confusion?
 
Posted by Lardi on :
 
What should be her punishment?
 
Posted by Quislet, Esq. on :
 
Would being handcuffed to you be punishment?
 
Posted by Lardi on :
 
Would Rocky think so?
 
Posted by He Who Wanders on :
 
Does it matter if Rocky isn't the one being handcuffed to you?
 
Posted by Rockhopper Lad on :
 
Why am I being handcuffed to anyone?
 
Posted by Fat Cramer on :
 
Isn't it giving you a little frisson of excitement?
 
Posted by Quislet, Esq. on :
 
Don't we all need a little frisson of excitement?
 
Posted by Lardi on :
 
Frisson?
 
Posted by Stealth on :
 
Isn't French the most beautiful language?
 
Posted by Eryk Davis Ester on :
 
Don't you mean the most beautiful tongue?
 
Posted by Stealth on :
 
Whoever said I actually SPEAK French?
 
Posted by cleome on :
 
If nobody else here speaks it either, couldn't you just fake your way through?
 
Posted by Stealth on :
 
Uh...Ou est la mousee?
 
Posted by Quislet, Esq. on :
 
Parlez-vous anglais?
 
Posted by Stealth on :
 
Does this answer your question?
 
Posted by Quislet, Esq. on :
 
Do you have to ask?
 
Posted by Lardi on :
 
Doesn't that just prove she can write in English?
 
Posted by Quislet, Esq. on :
 
Are you saying she can't speak in English?
 
Posted by Lardi on :
 
Is there audible evidence to the contrary?
 
Posted by Quislet, Esq. on :
 
Would you be satisfied with an affidavit of someone saying they heard her speak English?
 
Posted by Loser Lad on :
 
What would that really prove?
 
Posted by Lardi on :
 
Yeah, can't affidavits contain lies?
 
Posted by Loser Lad on :
 
Well they do involve lawyers, don't they?
 
Posted by Fat Cramer on :
 
What if the affidavit is in French?
 
Posted by Rockhopper Lad on :
 
Don't some lawyers read French?
 
Posted by He Who Wanders on :
 
Can legalese be translated into French?
 
Posted by Rockhopper Lad on :
 
Isn't that almost redundant?
 
Posted by He Who Wanders on :
 
Isn't French easier to understand than legalese?
 
Posted by Quislet, Esq. on :
 
What makes it so hard for the party of the second part understand, know, comprehend, or recognize the meaning at such time when the party of the first part communicates, whether written or oral, in which words, slang, or jargon utilized by the legal community (otherwise known as "legalese") is used, employed, or availed upon?
 
Posted by cleome on :
 
[No]

Could somebody please crack a window in here?
 
Posted by He Who Wanders on :
 
Don't we need to sign a contract (in legalese) in order to do so?
 
Posted by Lardi on :
 
Can't we just agree to open a window without signing a contract?
 
Posted by cleome on :
 
Shouldn't we at least have a quorum of LMB members vote on it first?
 
Posted by Lardi on :
 
Is there that much anti-window opening sentiment out there?
 
Posted by cleome on :
 
Wasn't the survey company supposed to let us know about that weeks ago?
 
Posted by Lardi on :
 
Should we sue the survey company?
 
Posted by cleome on :
 
Do we still have Quis on retainer?
 
Posted by Quislet, Esq. on :
 
Have you paid my retainer fee?
 
Posted by cleome on :
 
Shouldn't that have been the LMB comptroller's job?
 
Posted by Lardi on :
 
Should we sue the LMB comptroller?
 
Posted by cleome on :
 
Perhaps mediation would be more economical...?
 
Posted by He Who Wanders on :
 
Aren't professional mediators expensive?
 
Posted by Quislet, Esq. on :
 
Have you seen the cost of litigation as compared to the cost of mediation?
 
Posted by Lardi on :
 
Do you have a spreadsheet or a table for us to use for analysis?
 
Posted by Quislet, Esq. on :
 
Wouldn't the bottom line cost be sufficient?
 
Posted by Lardi on :
 
What if I have a coupon for certain line items that might make a difference?
 
Posted by cleome on :
 
Shouldn't you save that for Double-Coupon Day?
 
Posted by He Who Wanders on :
 
Do lawyers or mediatiors take coupons?
 
Posted by Lardi on :
 
Is it totally unheard of?
 
Posted by He Who Wanders on :
 
Don't know; have you ever tried to give a coupon to either?
 
Posted by Lardi on :
 
What if I never needed a lawyer or mediator before now?
 
Posted by Quislet, Esq. on :
 
Not need a lawyer -- what are you, unAmerican?
 
Posted by He Who Wanders on :
 
Or is he just being careful?
 
Posted by cleome on :
 
At what point does care leave off and excessive caution take over?
 
Posted by Lardi on :
 
Is it somewhere before the point of no return?
 
Posted by cleome on :
 
Hey! Who folded the road map all wrong?!

[Mad]
 
Posted by Lardi on :
 
Wasn't it Quis?
 
Posted by Quislet, Esq. on :
 
Are you asking if the road map was fold wrong or not?
 
Posted by Dev Em on :
 
Well, was it folded correctly?
 
Posted by Lardi on :
 
Are there instructions?
 
Posted by Quislet, Esq. on :
 
Couldn't we figure it out without instructions?
 
Posted by Lardi on :
 
Are you to stubborn to check them?
 
Posted by Quislet, Esq. on :
 
Ain't I a male after all?
 
Posted by Lardi on :
 
Can't females be stubborn, too?
 
Posted by Quislet, Esq. on :
 
But are they stereo-typically known for being stubborn about things like map folding?
 
Posted by cleome on :
 
Maybe we just got better press in this case?
 
Posted by Lardi on :
 
Who's your agent?
 
Posted by Quislet, Esq. on :
 
Is he/she a secret agent?
 
Posted by cleome on :
 
Would they have trusted a mere civ like me with that kind of info?

[Chameleon]
 
Posted by Lardi on :
 
Aren't you trustworthy?
 
Posted by Fat Cramer on :
 
If she isn't, why would she tell you?
 
Posted by Quislet, Esq. on :
 
What if she was given sodium pentothol?
 
Posted by cleome on :
 
Who'll be footing the bill for that?
 
Posted by Lardi on :
 
Doesn't Quis have all the money here?
 
Posted by Quislet, Esq. on :
 
If I had money, do you think I would hang out hear? [Wink]
 
Posted by Blockade Boy on :
 
Why did you think we couldn't hear you?
 
Posted by Quislet, Esq. on :
 
Do you think I was possessed by Cobie?
 
Posted by cleome on :
 
Would Cobie do such a thing?
 
Posted by Blockade Boy on :
 
Was that question rhetorical?
 
Posted by Lardi on :
 
Was that one?
 
Posted by Quislet, Esq. on :
 
Is it now?
 
Posted by Lardi on :
 
How can I tell?
 
Posted by Quislet, Esq. on :
 
Would you like to take a course on rhetoric and logic?
 
Posted by cleome on :
 
Is there one that meets in the evening?
 
Posted by Quislet, Esq. on :
 
Is Tuesday evening good for you?
 
Posted by Blockade Boy on :
 
Will that be on the test?
 
Posted by He Who Wanders on :
 
is the day the class meets ever on the test?
 
Posted by Blockade Boy on :
 
Weren't you told to put the date on the test?
 
Posted by cleome on :
 
Which calendar is he using to determine the date?
 
Posted by Lardi on :
 
Is it the Mayan calendar? [Eek!]
 
Posted by Quislet, Esq. on :
 
Can you even read the Mayan calendar?
 
Posted by Lardi on :
 
Is there a class to take for that?
 
Posted by cleome on :
 
Couldn't we just find the proper reference guide at the library?
 
Posted by Fat Cramer on :
 
Does anyone go to the library anymore?
 
Posted by Stealth on :
 
How else could I read so many graphic novels without going broke?
 
Posted by Quislet, Esq. on :
 
Have you tried shoplifting them?
 
Posted by Stealth on :
 
Why would I risk going to jail?
 
Posted by Quislet, Esq. on :
 
What is life without risks?
 
Posted by Stealth on :
 
If I replied, "My life, because I take all my risks in my creative work," would that paint me as a sad basket-case?
 
Posted by Quislet, Esq. on :
 
But you still take risks, don't you?
 
Posted by Stealth on :
 
May I thank you for making me feel better?
 
Posted by Quislet, Esq. on :
 
What's stopping you?
 
Posted by cleome on :
 
Is she passing through a school zone right now?
 
Posted by Lardi on :
 
What's the speed limit?
 
Posted by He Who Wanders on :
 
If you have to ask, don't you think you should slow down?
 
Posted by Lardi on :
 
Isn't that assuming I'm driving as I post?
 
Posted by He Who Wanders on :
 
Are you texting instead?
 
Posted by Lardi on :
 
Would you believe I'm not fond of texting and do so rarely?
 
Posted by Fat Cramer on :
 
Is that an aversion to typing on small keys?
 
Posted by Quislet, Esq. on :
 
Can you imagine the Thing trying to text?
 
Posted by Stealth on :
 
Can you imagine the Thing trying to just HOLD a cellphone without crushing it between his fingertips?
 
Posted by cleome on :
 
Couldn't Reed just have made him a customized version?
 
Posted by Stealth on :
 
Isn't Reed always letting Ben down, though?
 
Posted by Quislet, Esq. on :
 
Isn't Reed supposed to be hus best friend?
 
Posted by Stealth on :
 
Do people get angry at their best friend as often as Ben gets angry at Reed?
 
Posted by Quislet, Esq. on :
 
Do most best friends promise to cure you of being a monster?
 
Posted by Stealth on :
 
Am I the only one who think Ben actually looks cuter as a monster than when he looks "normal"?
 
Posted by Lardi on :
 
Do you have a thing for big rocky guys?
 
Posted by Quislet, Esq. on :
 
Don't you mean a thing for things?
 
Posted by Lardi on :
 
Does she like the Addam's Family's Thing as well?
 
Posted by Stealth on :
 
Could it merely be a coincidence that Thing was my favorite Addams Family character?
 
Posted by Quislet, Esq. on :
 
Do you believe in coincidences or do you think that everything is predetermined?
 
Posted by Stealth on :
 
What if I echoed John Lennon and said I don't believe in...well, anything?
 
Posted by Lardi on :
 
If she also likes Man-Thing, what would that mean?
 
Posted by Stealth on :
 
Given my recent post about Ingrid Vanderbosch, wouldn't that mean I swing both ways?
 
Posted by Lardi on :
 
Isn't Man-Thing something else entirely?
 
Posted by Stealth on :
 
Should I just out myself as bisexual, or did I already do that?
 
Posted by Lardi on :
 
Hasn't that been fairly long-established?
 
Posted by Quislet, Esq. on :
 
How long does something have to be established in order to be fairly long established?
 
Posted by Stealth on :
 
Has that ever stopped me from reiterating it, along with a lot of other things about me?
 
Posted by cleome on :
 
Isn't it okay to assume that we have short memories and thus won't suffer from a reminder now and then?
 
Posted by Lardi on :
 
Does that mean I should periodically remind everyone of the pic below of me?

 -
 
Posted by Quislet, Esq. on :
 
Is that picture even an accurate representation of Lard Lad now?
 
Posted by Lardi on :
 
Depends...can you imagine it with less belly and no beard?
 
Posted by Quislet, Esq. on :
 
Are you still holding the Cheez-its?
 
Posted by Lardi on :
 
Maybe replacing the Cheez-its with grapes would be more accurate?
 
Posted by cleome on :
 
What kind of grapes are they?

[Fruit Boy]
 
Posted by Lardi on :
 
Would you believe they're the grapes of wrath?
 
Posted by cleome on :
 
What if you switched to a seedless variety of grape?

[shrug]
 
Posted by Lardi on :
 
Do the seeds cause the wrath?
 
Posted by cleome on :
 
What other culprits can you think of?
 
Posted by Rockhopper Lad on :
 
How about John Steinbeck?
 
Posted by Fat Cramer on :
 
Why did he pick on grapes?
 
Posted by Quislet, Esq. on :
 
Are you saying that John Steinbeck was a migrant farm worker?
 
Posted by Lardi on :
 
Have you firsthand evidence to the contrary?
 
Posted by Quislet, Esq. on :
 
Who needs evidence when we have unconfirmed rumor?
 
Posted by Blockade Boy on :
 
Is that redundant?
 
Posted by Lardi on :
 
Is that redundant?
 
Posted by Quislet, Esq. on :
 
Are you repeating everything I say?
 
Posted by Blockade Boy on :
 
Are you repeating everything I say?

--------------------
Let me tell you why,
He's the best of all the guys.
In the thunder boat grease slapper once he's on your tail.
He won't quit because you know there's no such word as fail
 
Posted by Lardi on :
 
Should we tell the never-ending tale of Pete and Repeat?
 
Posted by Quislet, Esq. on :
 
Do we have to?
 
Posted by Lardi on :
 
Would you rather not?
 
Posted by He Who Wanders on :
 
Wouldn't that offend Pete and Repeat?
 
Posted by Quislet, Esq. on :
 
Can they be offended?
 
Posted by He Who Wanders on :
 
Would it be offensive to ask?
 
Posted by Lardi on :
 
Must everything be politically correct?
 
Posted by He Who Wanders on :
 
Is it PC or common decency to consider others' feelings?
 
Posted by cleome on :
 
Do we even have "Feelings" on the Karaoke machine these days?
 
Posted by Lardi on :
 
Are they nothing more than...Feelings?
 
Posted by Fat Cramer on :
 
Do you loathe that song as much as I do?
 
Posted by Quislet, Esq. on :
 
How much do you loathe it?
 
Posted by Stealth on :
 
Will she have to make a list?
 
Posted by Quislet, Esq. on :
 
Will she be checking it twice?
 
Posted by cleome on :
 
Wouldn't Canadian spellchecker have different rules than the U.S. version?
 
Posted by Fat Cramer on :
 
Is there a Canadian spellchecker?
 
Posted by Quislet, Esq. on :
 
If you check your own posts for spelling error, wouldn't that make you a Canadian spellchecker?
 
Posted by Lardi on :
 
Are you trying to tell her what to do?
 
Posted by Quislet, Esq. on :
 
What should she do?
 
Posted by Blockade Boy on :
 
Aren't we allowed to use her name when we talk about her?
 
Posted by Fat Cramer on :
 
If you write her name, are you struck by lightning?
 
Posted by Quislet, Esq. on :
 
Is she that powerful?
 
Posted by Fat Cramer on :
 
Do you really want to find out?
 
Posted by Quislet, Esq. on :
 
Couldn't she show her power another way than striking people with lightning?
 
Posted by He Who Wanders on :
 
Lightning bolts get your attention, don't they?
 
Posted by Rockhopper Lad on :
 
If she hurls lightning bolts, is her name Ayla?
 
Posted by Quislet, Esq. on :
 
Is that pronounced "A-la" or "A-e-la"?
 
Posted by Rockhopper Lad on :
 
Do we want to start that again?
 
Posted by cleome on :
 
Is it okay to do that in lieu of snoring through yet another football game?
 
Posted by Rockhopper Lad on :
 
Am I to assume that, like me, you aren't a football fan, Cleome?
 
Posted by Lardi on :
 
Why would anyone dislike football? [Confused]
 
Posted by He Who Wanders on :
 
Does it have something to do with utter boredom?
 
Posted by Fat Cramer on :
 
Or is it the constant interruption by advertisements?
 
Posted by Quislet, Esq. on :
 
Do you think that advertisements have - we interrupt this question to bring you an important announcement from the Frankenberry Mint. Order your Cereal Mascot collectors plates now. They can only go up in value and are a nice showpiece. Impress your friends. Now back to our question - started showing up everywhere?
 
Posted by Blockade Boy on :
 
Wsn't there rumor that Gary has been Buy Kono!!! slipping subliminal mssages in here all along? Buy Kono!!!
 
Posted by Quislet, Esq. on :
 
Why do I have a sudden urge to buy some KONOtm?
 
Posted by Lardi on :
 
Have you ever tried any?
 
Posted by Fat Cramer on :
 
What's in it?
 
Posted by cleome on :
 
Do you just want the general composition, or the specific recipe?
 
Posted by Lardi on :
 
You have the recipe?
 
Posted by Quislet, Esq. on :
 
Doesn't everbody?
 
Posted by Fat Cramer on :
 
Why am I out of the loop on this Kono deal?
 
Posted by Quislet, Esq. on :
 
Would you like to invest $50,000.00 in your own Kono franchise?
 
Posted by cleome on :
 
How soon do you need the money?
 
Posted by He Who Wanders on :
 
Would tomorrow morning in my Swiss bank account be too soon?
 
Posted by Lardi on :
 
Are you sure it isn't in Nigeria?
 
Posted by Quislet, Esq. on :
 
Don't Nigerian bankers give out huge sums of cash rather than take your cash?
 
Posted by He Who Wanders on :
 
Isn't that what they want you to believe?
 
Posted by Lardi on :
 
Do you want to believe?
 
Posted by He Who Wanders on :
 
Do you think I'm gullible?
 
Posted by Quislet, Esq. on :
 
Would you like to get in on the ground floor of my Kono franchise?
 
Posted by Fat Cramer on :
 
Is the second floor available?
 
Posted by Lardi on :
 
Is there a basement?
 
Posted by Stealth on :
 
Is the basement haunted by a cannibalistic mad scientist, like the basement of the house by the cemetery?
 
Posted by Quislet, Esq. on :
 
Which house by the cemetary do you mean, the white one or the green one?
 
Posted by Stealth on :
 
Which is the one where all the previous tenants died mysteriously?
 
Posted by Lardi on :
 
What if that happened in both houses?
 
Posted by Quislet, Esq. on :
 
Wouldn't that be a bizarre coincidence?
 
Posted by Lardi on :
 
Coincidence, you say...or something more?
 
Posted by He Who Wanders on :
 
What if I said it was neither?
 
Posted by Fat Cramer on :
 
Wouldn't that just leave us with something less?
 
Posted by Quislet, Esq. on :
 
What is less than zero?
 
Posted by Lardi on :
 
Negative one, right?
 
Posted by Quislet, Esq. on :
 
Am I a mathematician?
 
Posted by He Who Wanders on :
 
Wouldn't you know that better than any of us?
 
Posted by Quislet, Esq. on :
 
Do you really think I am better than any of you?
 
Posted by He Who Wanders on :
 
You are the Number One poster, are you not?
 
Posted by Lardi on :
 
Does being Number One mean Quis pees a lot?
 
Posted by Stealth on :
 
If that's the case, does it make him Legion World's Golden Boy?
 
Posted by Quislet, Esq. on :
 
Couldn't I be Legion World's Chameleon Boy instead?
 
Posted by cleome on :
 
How would you look with elven epaulets and without hair?

[Love]
 
Posted by Lad Boy on :
 
Didn't you see the pictures from San Diego?
 
Posted by Fat Cramer on :
 
Weren't those banned?
 
Posted by Quislet, Esq. on :
 
Was that before or after they went viral?
 
Posted by Lardi on :
 
If they made it long enough to go viral, wouldn't that presume the ban occurred afterwards?
 
Posted by Quislet, Esq. on :
 
Couldn't a banning contribute to a picture going viral?
 
Posted by cleome on :
 
Are you relying on everyone's contrarian sensibilities, or just on ours?
 
Posted by Quislet, Esq. on :
 
Isn't it human nature to want to see what is forbidden?
 
Posted by Fat Cramer on :
 
Would the aliens among us also want to see what is forbidden?
 
Posted by Quislet, Esq. on :
 
Who are the aliens among us?
 
Posted by He Who Wanders on :
 
More important: Are they legal?
 
Posted by Lardi on :
 
Shall we check their green cards?
 
Posted by Fat Cramer on :
 
Are you brave enough to ask an alien for a green card?
 
Posted by Quislet, Esq. on :
 
Wouldn't Color Kid always have a green card?
 
Posted by cleome on :
 
Are you volunteering to be his sponsor?
 
Posted by He Who Wanders on :
 
What would happen if a Legionnaire or Reservist were discovered to be an illegal alien? Do undocumented heroes get deported? (Deplaneted?)
 
Posted by cleome on :
 
Didn't they already cover that in some graphic novel or another?
 
Posted by Fat Cramer on :
 
Does anyone here remember that story?
 
Posted by Quislet, Esq. on :
 
What story?
 
Posted by Lardi on :
 
Was it the story 'bout a man named Jed?
 
Posted by Quislet, Esq. on :
 
Was he a poor mountaineer who barely kept his family fed?
 
Posted by Fat Cramer on :
 
Was he out looking for some food, or was he really looking for crude?
 
Posted by Quislet, Esq. on :
 
Just how crude was Jed?
 
Posted by He Who Wanders on :
 
Wellll, doggy?
 
Posted by Rockhopper Lad on :
 
Are you asking me whether my dog is well?
 
Posted by Fat Cramer on :
 
Is your dog not well?
 
Posted by Stealth on :
 
Doesn't Jed use "doggy/doggies" as an oath instead of literally talking about canines?
 
Posted by Quislet, Esq. on :
 
Are you sure he wasn't literally talking about canines?
 
Posted by Stealth on :
 
Perhaps he liked to smoke something funny which made him see doggies that weren't really there?
 
Posted by He Who Wanders on :
 
How much is that doggie in the window?
 
Posted by Stealth on :
 
Are you a Patti Page fan, Huey?
 
Posted by He Who Wanders on :
 
An echo from my mother, perhaps?
 
Posted by Stealth on :
 
What echo What echo What echo What echo?
 
Posted by He Who Wanders on :
 
Stereophonic posting? Should I get my ears checked or my eyes?
 
Posted by Stealth on :
 
Wouldn't it be best to get them both checked?
 
Posted by He Who Wanders on :
 
What if my insurance (or lack thereof) doesn't cover both?
 
Posted by Stealth on :
 
Might I refer you to Dr. Feelgood?
 
Posted by Quislet, Esq. on :
 
What insurance do the good doctor accept?
 
Posted by Stealth on :
 
Have you heard of the insurance company named Dirty Money?
 
Posted by He Who Wanders on :
 
Wasn't it owned by Bernie Madoff?
 
Posted by Stealth on :
 
Yes, and shouldn't his nickname be not "Bernie" but "The Ponz"?
 
Posted by He Who Wanders on :
 
Aaaaaay?
 
Posted by Quislet, Esq. on :
 
Are we on Sesame Street?
 
Posted by He Who Wanders on :
 
Do you see sunny days?
 
Posted by Stealth on :
 
Would either The Ponz or The Fonz stand a chance on Sesame Street?
 
Posted by He Who Wanders on :
 
Would Big Bird beat them up?
 
Posted by Quislet, Esq. on :
 
Do you remember Big Bird being so violent?
 
Posted by He Who Wanders on :
 
Wouldn't he have just cause if Madoff dropped by for a visit?
 
Posted by Quislet, Esq. on :
 
Could Big Bird even comprehend what a Ponzi scheme is?
 
Posted by He Who Wanders on :
 
Could Oscar explain it to him?
 
Posted by Stealth on :
 
Wouldn't Roosevelt Franklin be a more logical choice?
 
Posted by Quislet, Esq. on :
 
Would Franklin Delano Roosevelt do?
 
Posted by Stealth on :
 
Is FDR going to rise from his grave?
 
Posted by Quislet, Esq. on :
 
Who would you rather rise from the dead?
 
Posted by Stealth on :
 
How about Kurt Vonnegut?
 
Posted by Quislet, Esq. on :
 
Why Kurt?
 
Posted by Stealth on :
 
Wouldn't his well-informed common sense and withering wit be refreshing in what passes for public discourse these days?
 
Posted by Rockhopper Lad on :
 
What does pass for public discourse these days?
 
Posted by Fat Cramer on :
 
Hey dude, like, do you wanna know?
 
Posted by Quislet, Esq. on :
 
Isn't knowledge the path to enlightenment?
 
Posted by Lardi on :
 
I thought knowledge is power?
 
Posted by Quislet, Esq. on :
 
Are you power mad or something?
 
Posted by Fat Cramer on :
 
Should we be worried if he answers "Something"?
 
Posted by Stealth on :
 
What if he answers by quoting the complete lyrics to the Beatles' "Something"?
 
Posted by Quislet, Esq. on :
 
Wouldn't that be better than quoting the complete lyrics to "Feelings"?
 
Posted by Stealth on :
 
Or worse yet, the complete lyrics to "Smells Like Teen Spirit"?
 
Posted by He Who Wanders on :
 
Have you no respect for the dead (or, in Lardi's case, the resurrected)?
 
Posted by Stealth on :
 
Aren't the Dead still playing a guitar jam that started back in 1976?
 
Posted by Fat Cramer on :
 
Are tickets still available for that show?
 
Posted by Quislet, Esq. on :
 
How much are you willing to pay?
 
Posted by Rockhopper Lad on :
 
Wouldn't a 23-year-old jam be spoiled by now (even under refrigeration)?
 
Posted by He Who Wanders on :
 
Would a traffic jam be spoiled under frigid conditions?
 
Posted by Lardi on :
 
Aren't those conditions more likely to cause one?
 
Posted by Quislet, Esq. on :
 
Can't you drive in the snow?
 
Posted by Lardi on :
 
Do you imagine snow's much of a factor in South Carolina?
 
Posted by He Who Wanders on :
 
With global warming/climate debt/etc., is it so hard to imagine?
 
Posted by Lardi on :
 
Should it be left to my imagination, or have you made a deal with Snow Miser and Heat Miser?
 
Posted by Fat Cramer on :
 
Wouldn't those deals also be confidential?
 
Posted by Quislet, Esq. on :
 
Should I make a Freedom of Information request?
 
Posted by He Who Wanders on :
 
Are you free to do so?
 
Posted by Fat Cramer on :
 
Don't you have to pay $25 and photocopying charges?
 
Posted by Quislet, Esq. on :
 
Isn't that a small price to pay for knowing?
 
Posted by Lardi on :
 
Should knowing come with a price tag?
 
Posted by He Who Wanders on :
 
Do you get a discount if your knowledge is incomplete?
 
Posted by Quislet, Esq. on :
 
Would you know that your knowledge was incomplete?
 
Posted by He Who Wanders on :
 
Is knowledge ever complete?
 
Posted by Quislet, Esq. on :
 
Wouldn't life be boring if you had complete knowledge?
 
Posted by Quislet, Esq. on :
 
Did that question kill this thread?
 
Posted by He Who Wanders on :
 
Is anything likely to kill this thread?
 
Posted by Blockade Boy on :
 
Didn't you ever just want to murderize a loose thread?
 
Posted by He Who Wanders on :
 
Murderize? Who let the Three Stooges in here?
 
Posted by Blockade Boy on :
 
Who ever let them out?
 
Posted by Quislet, Esq. on :
 
The Three Stooges were gay?????
 
Posted by Eryk Davis Ester on :
 
Didn't they like to "poke" each other?
 
Posted by He Who Wanders on :
 
Is it sexy to poke people in the eyes?
 
Posted by Blockade Boy on :
 
What if it was done with a fabulous pose?
 
Posted by Quislet, Esq. on :
 
And just how would a person pose in a fabulous manner?
 
Posted by Stealth on :
 
Maybe by studying Madonna circa "Vogue" and then doing the opposite of what that talentless parasite does?
 
Posted by Blockade Boy on :
 
So...are you saying that Madonna poked someone's eyes out with the traffic cones?
 
Posted by Quislet, Esq. on :
 
Does the Enquirer know this?
 
Posted by He Who Wanders on :
 
How much would they pay to find out?
 
Posted by Blockade Boy on :
 
You got some pics?
 
Posted by Fat Cramer on :
 
How do we know those pictures aren't fake?
 
Posted by Quislet, Esq. on :
 
How could anything about Madonna be fake?
 
Posted by Stealth on :
 
You were being sarcastic, right?
 
Posted by Quislet, Esq. on :
 
And what if I wasn't being sarcastic?
 
Posted by Stealth on :
 
Would you like to see me throw a temper tantrum as only an only child can throw?
 
Posted by Quislet, Esq. on :
 
How far can you throw a temper tantrum?
 
Posted by Stealth on :
 
How far is far enough for you?
 
Posted by Quislet, Esq. on :
 
Would a quarter mile be asking too much?
 
Posted by Stealth on :
 
What if I told you that you'd still be able to hear me from that distance?
 
Posted by Blockade Boy on :
 
My hearing's not so good, could you use sign language?
 
Posted by He Who Wanders on :
 
A temper tantrum in sign language? Wouldn't that consist of just one digit?
 
Posted by Outdoor Miner on :
 
Shouldn't we give signers more credit than that?
 
Posted by He Who Wanders on :
 
Would you co-sign for their credit?
 
Posted by Outdoor Miner on :
 
What's in it for me?
 
Posted by Quislet, Esq. on :
 
Can't you just do it out of the goodness of your heart?
 
Posted by Outdoor Miner on :
 
You do know who you're communicating with, right?
 
Posted by He Who Wanders on :
 
Have you no goodness in your heart, Miner?
 
Posted by Outdoor Miner on :
 
Do the words "Bah, Humbug" give you a clue?
 
Posted by He Who Wanders on :
 
Do you think you might be visited, soon, by three spirits?
 
Posted by Outdoor Miner on :
 
Will they bring beer and classic R&B singles on pristine vinyl?
 
Posted by He Who Wanders on :
 
Why not ask the Ghost of Christmas Past?
 
Posted by Outdoor Miner on :
 
Is he on this board?
 
Posted by He Who Wanders on :
 
Should we invite him?
 
Posted by Fat Cramer on :
 
Will we also have to invite the Ghosts of Christmas Present and Future?
 
Posted by Blockade Boy on :
 
Aren't they alt ID's of Cobie?
 
Posted by He Who Wanders on :
 
Does that mean that Jacob Marley's Ghost is an alt ID of Abin?
 
Posted by Quislet, Esq. on :
 
Why Abin and not me?
 
Posted by He Who Wanders on :
 
Are you known for having a lot of alts?
 
Posted by Outdoor Miner on :
 
Given his post count now, when would he find the time to have alts?
 
Posted by Fat Cramer on :
 
Could an alt have an alt?
 
Posted by Quislet, Esq. on :
 
When would an alt find time to have an alt?
 
Posted by He Who Wanders on :
 
In an alternate timeline?
 
Posted by Quislet, Esq. on :
 
What is the alternative?
 
Posted by Fat Cramer on :
 
Could an alt be altruistic?
 
Posted by Quislet, Esq. on :
 
Is there anything stopping an alt from being altruistic?
 
Posted by He Who Wanders on :
 
An alternate personality?
 
Posted by cleome on :
 
How many Ayn Rand books does this alt actually own?
 
Posted by He Who Wanders on :
 
Could an alt borrow them from the alt library?
 
Posted by Quislet, Esq. on :
 
Where is the alt library?
 
Posted by He Who Wanders on :
 
Altoona, PA?
 
Posted by Quislet, Esq. on :
 
Are you sure?
 
Posted by Dev Em on :
 
Can anyone ever be sure?
 
Posted by He Who Wanders on :
 
Will you raise your hands if you're sure?
 
Posted by Fat Cramer on :
 
How many hands do most sentients here have?
 
Posted by Quislet, Esq. on :
 
Are we Silver Age Legion World where pretty much everyone is humanoid?
 
Posted by SharkLad on :
 
Why does everything lately have to be Silver Age?
 
Posted by He Who Wanders on :
 
What have you got against the Silver Age?
 
Posted by Fat Cramer on :
 
Who came up with the term Silver Age?
 
Posted by dedman on :
 
Could it have been a jeweller or a miner?
 
Posted by Blockade Boy on :
 
Are you saying comics are all about the bling?
 
Posted by He Who Wanders on :
 
Power rings, Legion flight rings . . . how can you ask?
 
Posted by Quislet, Esq. on :
 
What if that thought had never occurred to me?
 
Posted by He Who Wanders on :
 
Then that means you learned something new, doesn't it? [Wink]
 
Posted by Quislet, Esq. on :
 
What if the lesson doesn't stick?
 
Posted by He Who Wanders on :
 
Shall we send you to bed without supper?
 
Posted by Quislet, Esq. on :
 
What's for supper?
 
Posted by dedman on :
 
Do you like homemade spagetti?
 
Posted by Fat Cramer on :
 
Who doesn't?
 
Posted by Quislet, Esq. on :
 
How could you forget about my aversion to tomatoes and tomato products?
 
Posted by He Who Wanders on :
 
Don't we have better things to remember about you?
 
Posted by Fat Cramer on :
 
Did you think I would serve you tomatoes when you could have a nice Alfredo sauce instead?
 
Posted by Quislet, Esq. on :
 
Could I just have butter on my spaghetti?
 
Posted by Lardi on :
 
Do you mean butter in the sense that Streisand's voice is like buttah?
 
Posted by Quislet, Esq. on :
 
What brought on that non sequitur?
 
Posted by cleome on :
 
[Love]

Isn't it always the right time to talk about Barbara?

[Fat Cramer]
 
Posted by Lardi on :
 
Do you get all verklempt just thinking about her?
 
Posted by cleome on :
 
Doesn't everyone? [sigh]
 
Posted by Lardi on :
 
Would you believe I don't?
 
Posted by He Who Wanders on :
 
Will you be verklempt when you learn that her name is spelled Barbra?
 
Posted by Lardi on :
 
I wouldn't, but would Linda Richman?
 
Posted by Quislet, Esq. on :
 
What shall we discuss amongst ourselves while she is verklempt?
 
Posted by He Who Wanders on :
 
How about the definition of verklempt?
 
Posted by dedman on :
 
Does anyone here speak Hebrew?
 
Posted by cleome on :
 
Would Yiddish be an acceptable substitute?
 
Posted by dedman on :
 
Do I look like a linguist?
 
Posted by cleome on :
 
Do linguists have a dress code?
 
Posted by dedman on :
 
i dunno, have you ever met one?
 
Posted by Rockhopper Lad on :
 
Would I count if I tell you that the one linguistics course I took in college was one of my favorite classes?
 
Posted by dedman on :
 
well do you consider yourself a cunning linguist?
 
Posted by Fat Cramer on :
 
Is that a double entendre?
 
Posted by cleome on :
 
On Carggg, do they prefer triple entendres?

[Triplicate Girl - Animated]
 
Posted by Quislet, Esq. on :
 
Do Cargggites think nine-somes are a bit kinky?
 
Posted by He Who Wanders on :
 
How do you pronounce "Carggg," anyway?
 
Posted by Lardi on :
 
Doesn't it rhyme with "Argh!"?
 
Posted by Quislet, Esq. on :
 
Are you some type of pirate?
 
Posted by Lardi on :
 
Would you care to list all the types, so I can decide?
 
Posted by Quislet, Esq. on :
 
Do you need the whole list or would the top 500 do?
 
Posted by Lardi on :
 
How about just the top ten?
 
Posted by He Who Wanders on :
 
All I can think of is corporate, swashbuckling, Internet, music, and car dealers--are there others?
 
Posted by Eryk Davis Ester on :
 
What about the ones who sing and dance?
 
Posted by He Who Wanders on :
 
Penzance pirates?
 
Posted by Lardi on :
 
Are those the ones with real panache?
 
Posted by Sketch Lad on :
 
Are they the very model of a modern Major-General?
 
Posted by Quislet, Esq. on :
 
Animal, vegetable, or mineral?
 
Posted by Eryk Davis Ester on :
 
Isn't that song in the Doom Patrol musical?
 
Posted by Quislet, Esq. on :
 
There was a Doom Patrol musical?
 
Posted by Lardi on :
 
Wasn't that just a figment of my imagination?
 
Posted by Quislet, Esq. on :
 
Isn't this conversation just a figment of your imagination?
 
Posted by He Who Wanders on :
 
Am I sharing Lardi's figments (and is doing so safe)?
 
Posted by Lardi on :
 
Are you implying your imagination needs a condom? [Big Grin]
 
Posted by He Who Wanders on :
 
Do you believe that STDs are the only danger one can get from sharing figments with you? [Eek!]
 
Posted by Eryk Davis Ester on :
 
Shouldn't you also worry about becoming pregnant with an idea?
 
Posted by Quislet, Esq. on :
 
Who has a bun in the oven?
 
Posted by dedman on :
 
Can I put a pizza in the oven instead?
 
Posted by Cobalt Kid on :
 
Can you eat the pizza in Dr. Gym'lls while you review the comics you're reading? [Big Grin]
 
Posted by He Who Wanders on :
 
What if he gets a pizza stain on the comic?
 
Posted by Quislet, Esq. on :
 
What get's pizza stains out of paper?
 
Posted by cleome on :
 
Perhaps the blood of a virgin? Or Keith Giffen's blood, maybe?
 
Posted by Lardi on :
 
Isn't Giffen's blood even more acidic than those of the Aliens?
 
Posted by Pov on :
 
Shouldn't you ask Karate Kid, or Dawnstar's wings? [Hmmm?]
 
Posted by Lardi on :
 
Dawnstar's wings are/were sentient?
 
Posted by Quislet, Esq. on :
 
Wouldn't that be an intriguing concept?
 
Posted by He Who Wanders on :
 
Would each of her wings have separate personalities?
 
Posted by Lardi on :
 
What if one of them wasn't in the mood to fly?
 
Posted by He Who Wanders on :
 
Dawny would be very lopsided, wouldn't she?
 
Posted by Quislet, Esq. on :
 
Don't they have special bras for those types of problems?
 
Posted by He Who Wanders on :
 
Bras for wings?
 
Posted by Lardi on :
 
Maybe she wears them when she wants to go incognito?
 
Posted by cleome on :
 
Wasn't that Bounty's shtick?
 
Posted by Lardi on :
 
Are you suggesting she stuffed her wing-bra after losing them?
 
Posted by Quislet, Esq. on :
 
Did she use foam or feathers to stuff them?
 
Posted by Raging Bull on :
 
I love stuffed chicken wings -- or wasn't that the question?
 
Posted by Lardi on :
 
Do you think anyone should care since the thread went on a two-week hiatus?
 
Posted by Raging Bull on :
 
Are you talking to me?
 
Posted by Lardi on :
 
Am I here for your amusement?
 
Posted by Raging Bull on :
 
Doesn't that question assume that you are actually amusing?
 
Posted by Lardi on :
 
You don't find me amusing?
 
Posted by Fat Cramer on :
 
Could everyone please stop laughing?
 
Posted by Quislet, Esq. on :
 
Hahaha - why - haha -should I - hahahahaha - do that? hahahahhahahhahahhahahahhahahaha
 
Posted by Raging Bull on :
 
What would happen if I chose not to answer with a question?
 
Posted by Blockade Boy on :
 
Anybody remember that other poster that did that, Jimmy Hoffa Lad?
 
Posted by He Who Wanders on :
 
Wasn't he deleted as a variant? [No]
 
Posted by Quislet, Esq. on :
 
Are we allowed to talk about it?
 
Posted by He Who Wanders on :
 
What will happen if we do?
 
Posted by Lardi on :
 
Will there be...consequences?
 
Posted by He Who Wanders on :
 
Or only truth?
 
Posted by Lardi on :
 
Can you handle the truth?
 
Posted by He Who Wanders on :
 
Are you Jack Nicholson?
 
Posted by Lardi on :
 
Do I look like Jack Nicholson?
 
Posted by Stealth on :
 
What if I said that, judging from your avatar, you look like Fred MacMurray?
 
Posted by Lardi on :
 
Is that a good thing or a bad thing?
 
Posted by Fat Cramer on :
 
Do you believe that Fred MacMurray was a Soviet spy?
 
Posted by Quislet, Esq. on :
 
Who wasn't a Soviet spy back in the 50's?
 
Posted by Rockhopper Lad on :
 
Weren't Boris and Natasha actually spies for Pottsylvania?
 
Posted by Stealth on :
 
Has anyone told you what a good memory for details you have, Rocky dahlink?
 
Posted by cleome on :
 
Hey, Rocky! Watch me pull a rabbit out of my hat!

Again?!
 
Posted by dedman on :
 
you mean once isn't enough?
 
Posted by Rockhopper Lad on :
 
Would you believe that I've seen Cleome pull a rabbit out of a hat?
 
Posted by Quislet, Esq. on :
 
Do you want to buy this bridge I have for sale?
 
Posted by SharkLad on :
 
Do I get a friends and family discount?
 
Posted by cleome on :
 
How many friends and family members were you planning on bringing to the event?
 
Posted by Lardi on :
 
Can I bring illegitimate offspring as well?
 
Posted by He Who Wanders on :
 
Are children truly illegitimate or is it just the parents?
 
Posted by Quislet, Esq. on :
 
Why don't we ask Cobie?
 
Posted by He Who Wanders on :
 
Wouldn't he be an expert on illegitimate sheep?
 
Posted by Quislet, Esq. on :
 
Are you saying there is a limit on what Cobie is an expert on?
 
Posted by dedman on :
 
Do you mean he is an infinite expert?
 
Posted by He Who Wanders on :
 
Cobie--the god of knowledge?
 
Posted by Quislet, Esq. on :
 
What else could he be the god of?
 
Posted by He Who Wanders on :
 
Is it blasphemy to think of him as a god at all?
 
Posted by Quislet, Esq. on :
 
Have we been struck by lightning yet?
 
Posted by Lardi on :
 
Should we all hold up lightning rods and see who gets hit?
 
Posted by Quislet, Esq. on :
 
Do I have to be Proty this time?
 
Posted by He Who Wanders on :
 
Would you prefer being the real Imra?
 
Posted by cleome on :
 
And do blonde telepaths really have more fun?
 
Posted by Quislet, Esq. on :
 
Could you define "fun"?
 
Posted by Lardi on :
 
Isn't "FUN" defined like this: "F" is for friends who hang out together..."U" is for you and me..."N" is for anywhere or anytime at all out here in the deep blue sea?
 
Posted by Quislet, Esq. on :
 
Do I have to point out the "anytime" and "anywhere" don't start with the letter "n"?
 
Posted by Lardi on :
 
Did I have to write it as "N-e-where" or "N-e-time" for you to get the connection?
 
Posted by cleome on :
 
Are you N-genious? N-capable? N-solent?
 
Posted by Quislet, Esq. on :
 
Who do I blame for all this slangy spelling?
 
Posted by Lardi on :
 
Don't you watch Nickelodeon?
 
Posted by Rockhopper Lad on :
 
Have they starting running the original Tomorrow People again?
 
Posted by Dev Em on :
 
Have you checked the television listings?
 
Posted by He Who Wanders on :
 
Are the television listings also written in Nickelodeonese?
 
Posted by Lardi on :
 
Have you taken a Nickelodeonese class?
 
Posted by Dev Em on :
 
Did you put another nickle in the Nickelodeon ?
 
Posted by Lardi on :
 
Brother, can you spare a dime?
 
Posted by Quislet, Esq. on :
 
What can you buy for a dime nowadays?
 
Posted by Lardi on :
 
Ten of your thoughts?
 
Posted by Quislet, Esq. on :
 
Do you really think that a lawyer's thoughts come so cheap?
 
Posted by cleome on :
 
Have you considered doing pro bono work?
 
Posted by He Who Wanders on :
 
Does Bono need Quis's services?

Quis, how's your Entertainment Law?
 
Posted by Fat Cramer on :
 
Could you just flip through "Entertainment Law for Dummies" this weekend?
 
Posted by Quislet, Esq. on :
 
Do you have a copy I can borrow?
 
Posted by Fat Cramer on :
 
Would you like the print or the audio version?
 
Posted by Blockade Boy on :
 
Do you have one for a kindle?
 
Posted by SharkLad on :
 
Are you building a fire?
 
Posted by Quislet, Esq. on :
 
Are you cold or just in a romantic mood?
 
Posted by cleome on :
 
Is it a romantic mood simply because we're near?
 
Posted by He Who Wanders on :
 
Do you believe in long-distance romance?
 
Posted by Lardi on :
 
Aren't Rocky and I proof of it? [Wink]
 
Posted by He Who Wanders on :
 
80 proof, perhaps? [Wink]
 
Posted by dedman on :
 
Does Lardi and Rocky come in a bottle?
 
Posted by He Who Wanders on :
 
"I Dream of Lardi (and Rocky)"? Wouldn't that make an interesting TV show?
 
Posted by Rockhopper Lad on :
 
Would anybody actually watch a show about a relationship between a plus-sized, heretofore heterosexual guy who commands a force of almost limitless power and a gay prince of a race descended from penguins who has magical ice powers?
 
Posted by cleome on :
 
Well, people liked The Odd Couple a whole lot, didn't they?
 
Posted by Lardi on :
 
Did Rocky make it sound uninteresting?
 
Posted by Rockhopper Lad on :
 
Honestly, doesn't it sound a lot better than a good bit of the stuff on TV these days?
 
Posted by Lardi on :
 
Wouldn't you watch it?
 
Posted by cleome on :
 
Is it filmed live before a studio audience, instead of using those stupid laugh tracks?
 
Posted by Quislet, Esq. on :
 
Don't they still use the laugh track even when there is a studio audience?
 
Posted by Rockhopper Lad on :
 
Wouldn't it be hard to do Lard Force and Ice Magic special effects in front of a live studio audience?
 
Posted by Lardi on :
 
Are you insinuating that our powers aren't real?
 
Posted by Rockhopper Lad on :
 
No, but do we want the general public to know that?
 
Posted by Quislet, Esq. on :
 
What else are we keeping from the general public?
 
Posted by Lardi on :
 
Don't you know?
 
Posted by Blockade Boy on :
 
Does that mean Quis is part of the general public?
 
Posted by dedman on :
 
Would he know if he was?
 
Posted by Lardi on :
 
Is it really that hard to tell whether or not one's a part of the general public?
 
Posted by Quislet, Esq. on :
 
You don't know me very well, do you?
 
Posted by Lardi on :
 
If not, why did you "friend" me on Facebook?
 
Posted by Quislet, Esq. on :
 
Shouldn't the question be why did you friend me?
 
Posted by Blockade Boy on :
 
Isn't that what he asked?
 
Posted by Lardi on :
 
Isn't it obvious that "Lawyer Lad" Quis is looking for a loophole?
 
Posted by cleome on :
 
Maybe he just did it for the cah-razy kicks Man?
 
Posted by Quislet, Esq. on :
 
What other type of kicks are there?
 
Posted by cleome on :
 
[Superboy] Sidekicks? [Krypto]
 
Posted by Rockhopper Lad on :
 
Why don't we have sidekicks in real life?
 
Posted by dedman on :
 
Aren't Sidekicks some sort of horrible pre-made sidedish you can buy?
 
Posted by Quislet, Esq. on :
 
If they are so horrible, why would you buy them?
 
Posted by dedman on :
 
Did I say I bought them?
 
Posted by He Who Wanders on :
 
Did you steal them?
 
Posted by Quislet, Esq. on :
 
Are you casting aspersions on my honesty?
 
Posted by He Who Wanders on :
 
Well, you are a lawyer, aren't you? [Wink]
 
Posted by Lardi on :
 
Isn't it true that the only honest lawyers are the ones six feet under? [Big Grin]
 
Posted by dedman on :
 
Do we know any burrowing lawyers to find out?
 
Posted by Blackmace on :
 
Is dis tread about buried lawyers?
 
Posted by Quislet, Esq. on :
 
What would you like this thread to be about?
 
Posted by Lardi on :
 
Ultimately, isn't it about answering questions with questions?
 
Posted by Quislet, Esq. on :
 
Is that what you think?
 
Posted by Lardi on :
 
Isn't it a fact?
 
Posted by cleome on :
 
What if I'm tired of facts and would prefer to hear "Isn't It Romantic"?
 
Posted by Lardi on :
 
Er...isn't it romantic?
 
Posted by Fat Cramer on :
 
Are you serious?
 
Posted by cleome on :
 
Isn't romance by nature given to unrealistic ideals and silly flights of fancy?
 
Posted by Quislet, Esq. on :
 
Would you want it any other way?
 
Posted by dedman on :
 
What other way could it be?
 
Posted by cleome on :
 
Is there a version that won't inadvertently lead to me enriching both the Nestle' and Hallmark Corporations?
 
Posted by Quislet, Esq. on :
 
Haven't you heard of Hershey's and American Greeting?
 
Posted by cleome on :
 
Are you speaking here as a romantic yourself, or merely observing from the sidelines?
 
Posted by Quislet, Esq. on :
 
Couldn't I be a romantic who is observing from the sidelines?
 
Posted by cleome on :
 
So will you take over for me if my bad knee gives out again?
 
Posted by Quislet, Esq. on :
 
Has it been acting up?
 
Posted by Raging Bull on :
 
Are we talking about the Oscars again?
 
Posted by He Who Wanders on :
 
Does anybody pay attention to those awards shows?
 
Posted by Lardi on :
 
How are their ratings?
 
Posted by dedman on :
 
Should we check the nielsens?
 
Posted by Lardi on :
 
Should we refer them to a proctologist?
 
Posted by He Who Wanders on :
 
Would the proctologist be mad if we did?
 
Posted by Lardi on :
 
Why would he be mad if the Neilson's need him to check them?
 
Posted by Fat Cramer on :
 
Could we get a little more confused here?
 
Posted by Quislet, Esq. on :
 
Aren't we confused enough that a little more couldn't hurt?
 
Posted by cleome on :
 
How can you tell when you've overdosed?
 
Posted by Rockhopper Lad on :
 
Is waking up in a hospital with a tube down your throat a good clue?
 
Posted by Lardi on :
 
Is that what eventually happened to the lady who the song "Mother's Little Helper" is about?
 
Posted by Fat Cramer on :
 
Did she even get any royalties from that song?
 
Posted by Blockade Boy on :
 
Am I the only one, never heard of that song?
 
Posted by cleome on :
 
Would knowing of the song make me marginally more hip than Blockade Boy?
 
Posted by Lardi on :
 
Isn't anyone more hip than BB? [Wink]
 
Posted by Fat Cramer on :
 
Isn't it kinda hip to not know old Rolling Stones songs?
 
Posted by Lardi on :
 
If you're as old as BB, isn't it pretty unhip of him? [Smile]
 
Posted by Quislet, Esq. on :
 
Exactly how old is Blockade Boy?
 
Posted by Blockade Boy on :
 
Do you have an abacus handy?
 
Posted by dedman on :
 
Would a calculator do the trick?
 
Posted by cleome on :
 
Are you sure its battery is adequately charged?

[Lightning Lad]
 
Posted by He Who Wanders on :
 
If BB is that old, isn't he ready for Medicare?
 
Posted by Quislet, Esq. on :
 
Does he want anything to do with socialist medicine?
 
Posted by He Who Wanders on :
 
If he were ill, wouldn't he?
 
Posted by cleome on :
 
Did you know that some boards and blogs block the word "Socialist," because it has the name of a prescription medication in it?
 
Posted by He Who Wanders on :
 
Isn't it wonderful that nothing is ever ******* here?
 
Posted by Lardi on :

No, but doesn't it show I have grammar cred?

Is chaos not an effective way to bring on positive change, at least sometimes?

It may be effective, but is it efficient?

Should efficiency be the top priority here?

Could the avoidance of addressing priorities be our top priority?

Posted by Lardi on :
 
You've never heard "Ironic"?
 
Posted by He Who Wanders on :
 
Would it be ironic if I say no?

Maybe if you really have heard it? Or would that just be lying?
 
Posted by He Who Wanders on :
 
Why would I lie about having not heard "Ironic"?

Because you want to be one of the cool kids?

Posted by dedman on :
 
Where will we take it?
 
Posted by Pov on :
 
Yeah, Lardi, where would you like your poll taken? [Good]
 
Posted by Quislet, Esq. on :
 
Are you using "poll" as a euphemism?
 
Posted by Lardi on :
 
A euphemism for what? [Hmmm?]
 
Posted by Blockade Boy on :
 
Does what need a euphemism?
 
Posted by Rockhopper Lad on :
 
Wasn't there a Dr. Seuss cartoon where the word "euphemism" is used to mean "bathroom"?
 
Posted by Lardi on :
 
Does anyone else suddenly feel the urgent need to use the euphemism?
 
Posted by dedman on :
 
Is it a number 1 or a number 2?
 
Posted by Quislet, Esq. on :
 
Can't it be both?
 
Posted by cleome on :
 
What's the origin of those euphemisms, anyway?
 
Posted by He Who Wanders on :
 
Does it have something to do with "1" being a phallic symbol?
 
Posted by cleome on :
 
Isn't everything a phallic symbol, if it's longer than it is wide, as the id goes marching on?
 
Posted by He Who Wanders on :
 
So, Stan Laurel could be a phallic symbol but Oliver Hardy could not?
 
Posted by Quislet, Esq. on :
 
Are you sexualizing Stan Laurel?

Isn't that another fine mess you've gotten us into?

Are you saying that I am a loveless person?
 
Posted by dedman on :
 
That depends, are you related to Patty Loveless?
 
Posted by Lardi on :
 
Maybe he's a distant cousin, twice removed?
 
Posted by Quislet, Esq. on :
 
Twice removed from what?
 
Posted by Rockhopper Lad on :
 
Would that be What, the famed second baseman?
 
Posted by Lardi on :
 
Oh, then who's on first?
 
Posted by He Who Wanders on :
 
Shouldn't that be "Who's on first"?

Who exactly is on first?
 
Posted by Blockade Boy on :

Posted by Blockade Boy on :
 
So, you're not a BIG baseball fan, are you?

Does that refer to his size or the degree which he enjoys baseball?

Can you give us an example of your mother's sense of humor?

She raised me, didn't she? [Wink]
 
Posted by Lardi on :
 
Was that self-deprecating?
 
Posted by Quislet, Esq. on :
 
Was he deprecating anyone else?

Would that be okay, so long as he wasn't defecating?

Why does this thread always get back to THAT kind of question when Lardi's around?

Does Lardi have a 1 track mind?

Posted by Quislet, Esq. on :
 
Ha-ha funny or strange funny?
 
Posted by Dev Em on :
 
Which would you prefer?
 
Posted by cleome on :
 
What if no one knows the difference anymore?
 
Posted by Dev Em on :
 
What if no one ever did?
 
Posted by Lardi on :
 
Will anyone ever?
 
Posted by dedman on :
 
Wouldn't someone at some point?
 
Posted by Dev Em on :
 
You would think so, wouldn't you?
 
Posted by Lardi on :
 
Aren't you being presumptuous?
 
Posted by Dev Em on :
 
Does it matter?
 
Posted by Lardi on :
 
Don't you care?
 
Posted by Quislet, Esq. on :
 
Can you show me someone who cares more?
 
Posted by dedman on :
 
Do I count?
 
Posted by Lardi on :
 
How many fingers am I holding up?
 
Posted by dedman on :
 
four?
 
Posted by Lardi on :
 
Care to guess again?
 
Posted by dedman on :
 
Do I have to?
 
Posted by Lardi on :
 
Is anyone forcing you?
 
Posted by dedman on :
 
would you believe I have a gun to my head?
 
Posted by Lardi on :
 
Is it loaded?
 
Posted by dedman on :
 
How would I know?
 
Posted by Lardi on :
 
Didn't you check?
 
Posted by dedman on :
 
How could I do that?
 
Posted by Lardi on :
 
Do I look like I know anything about guns?
 
Posted by dedman on :
 
Are you a redneck?
 
Posted by Lardi on :
 
Is there a test to determine that?
 
Posted by dedman on :
 
do you enjoy jeff foxworth?
 
Posted by Lardi on :
 
Occasionally or any time?
 
Posted by dedman on :
 
Do I have to be specific?
 
Posted by Quislet, Esq. on :
 
Could you please specify what you would be specific about?
 
Posted by cleome on :
 
If you laugh at a Jeff Foxworthy monologue and nobody is there to hear you, are you a redneck?
 
Posted by Dev Em on :
 
Is Jeff Foxworthy funny?
 
Posted by Quislet, Esq. on :
 
What is funny?
 
Posted by Stealth on :
 
Ha ha?
 
Posted by dedman on :
 
What's with all the laughter?
 
Posted by Quislet, Esq. on :
 
Don't you get the joke?
 
Posted by cleome on :
 
Is this the joke that started the whole world laughing?
 
Posted by Rockhopper Lad on :
 
Do you realize how hard it will be to shake a Bee Gees earworm?
 
Posted by cleome on :
 
What if it's being used to displace an even more insidious late 1960's/early 1970's earworm?
 
Posted by dedman on :
 
Do people get Anne Murray earworms?
 
Posted by cleome on :
 
Who would admit to that, apart from He Who Wanders?
 
Posted by Quislet, Esq. on :
 
Why would He Who Wanders admit that?
 
Posted by cleome on :
 
What if we plied him with chocolate milkshakes and orange cupcakes in order to earn his trust?
 
Posted by dedman on :
 
Are orange cupcakes particularly trust earning?
 
Posted by Fat Cramer on :
 
Is that orange icing, orange cake or orange flavour?
 
Posted by Quislet, Esq. on :
 
Would you want banana flavored orange frosting?
 
Posted by He Who Wanders on :
 
[Razz]

Can you make it orange orange frosting?
 
Posted by Dev Em on :
 
Why would you want that?
 
Posted by He Who Wanders on :
 
[Love]

Isn't it obvious?
 
Posted by Dev Em on :
 
Could you elaborate?
 
Posted by He Who Wanders on :
 
Orange cupcakes=a taste of devine.

Clear enough?
 
Posted by Dev Em on :
 
Are real Oranges used?
 
Posted by dedman on :
 
can we substitute tangerines instead?
 
Posted by Dev Em on :
 
Why would we do that?
 
Posted by cleome on :
 
Could it be that tangerines are cheaper and more plentiful than oranges this week?

[Fruit Boy]
 
Posted by Dev Em on :
 
Have you checked the grocery store lately?
 
Posted by cleome on :
 
Why bother when this week's Unemployment check hasn't even come in yet?
 
Posted by Dev Em on :
 
Did I tell you that mine has?
 
Posted by cleome on :
 
So you'll be picking up dinner on the way home tonight?
 
Posted by Quislet, Esq. on :
 
What's for dinner?
 
Posted by dedman on :
 
What would you like?
 
Posted by Quislet, Esq. on :
 
Is there any roast beef with pan roasted potatoes?
 
Posted by Blockade Boy on :
 
Would you settle for teriyaki jerky and potato chips?
 
Posted by Quislet, Esq. on :
 
Why would anyone settle for that?
 
Posted by Blockade Boy on :
 
Have you tasted my cooking?
 
Posted by Lardi on :
 
Did anyone live to tell the tale?
 
Posted by cleome on :
 
Are you saying that BB's cooking produces Black Lanterns?
 
Posted by dedman on :
 
wouldn't that be an awesome power?
 
Posted by Lardi on :
 
The Black Lantern power itself or the power of his cooking to make Black Lanterns?
 
Posted by Quislet, Esq. on :
 
"Dark Chef" has a nice ring to it, doesn't it?
 
Posted by Dev Em on :
 
How does BB feel about this?
 
Posted by dedman on :
 
Should we ask him?
 
Posted by Blockade Boy on :
 
Does he even know what day it is?
 
Posted by Dev Em on :
 
Does anybody really know what time it is?
 
Posted by dedman on :
 
Isn't it Miller Time?
 
Posted by cleome on :
 
What if I [bleep]ing hated Sin City, and likely always will?
 
Posted by Stealth on :
 
Cleome, have I mentioned that I [Love] love [Love] you and hate Frank Miller?
 
Posted by cleome on :
 
But can even true [Love] love [Love] overcome the threat of musical incompatibility?
 
Posted by Stealth on :
 
Can I ruminate on that one for a while? [Wink]
 
Posted by cleome on :
 
Will Deidre be stopping by while we wait? [Poke Joke]
 
Posted by Kent Shakespeare on :
 
How long do you need?
 
Posted by Dev Em on :
 
How long will this really take?
 
Posted by Lardi on :
 
Will we take it to the limit?
 
Posted by cleome on :
 
Do you mean for the first time, or for one more time?
 
Posted by Dev Em on :
 
How many times is too many?
 
Posted by dedman on :
 
Can there ever be too many times?
 
Posted by cleome on :
 
Shouldn't you check on our credit limit before answering that?
 
Posted by dedman on :
 
You're still deputy leader, don't you have unlimited credit?
 
Posted by cleome on :
 
As a lame duck, am I authorized to commit to such large, complex projects at this juncture?
 
Posted by Dev Em on :
 
Why start now?

[Wink]
 
Posted by Quislet, Esq. on :
 
What is a better time to start?
 
Posted by Kent Shakespeare on :
 
How is 2:11 a.m.?
 
Posted by cleome on :
 
Will you remember to reset the clocks?
 
Posted by Dev Em on :
 
Why?
 
Posted by Kent Shakespeare on :
 
Is time really that irrelevant?
 
Posted by Dev Em on :
 
Does anybody really know what time it is?
 
Posted by Kent Shakespeare on :
 
Does anybody really care?
 
Posted by Abin Quank on :
 
Am I supposed to remember the next line in that song?
 
Posted by He Who Wanders on :
 
Can you google it?
 
Posted by Kent Shakespeare on :
 
Isn't it a bit late now?
 
Posted by He Who Wanders on :
 
Why? Does the Internet have a curfew?
 
Posted by SharkLad on :
 
Who would enforce it?
 
Posted by Everyday Girl on :
 
Ohmygod, do you like need somebody to do that?
 
Posted by Lardi on :
 
Who would we draft to do that?
 
Posted by Everyday Girl on :
 
Ohmygod, like how much enforcing is like needed?
 
Posted by SharkLad on :
 
Have you seen how out of control the internet is?
 
Posted by Quislet, Esq. on :
 
Isn't one man's chaos another man's freedom?
 
Posted by Zardi, the Eternal Man on :
 
Is it better to die cold and alone, but free... or to live comfortably, shackled amongst friends?
 
Posted by Kent Shakespeare on :
 
Could you try both options and get back to us (I suppose you'll need to get some friends first)?
 
Posted by cleome on :
 
[Grimbor]

So... if they were really my friends, they would've offered me shackles?

[Confused]
 
Posted by Quislet, Esq. on :
 
Are you into that sort of stuff?
 
Posted by cleome on :
 
Does the public really care, given that my term is almost up anyway?
 
Posted by Quislet, Esq. on :
 
Don't people enjoy sex scandals of non-politicians?
 
Posted by Lardi on :
 
Doesn't that type of thing give people with nothing else better to do something to talk about?
 
Posted by dedman on :
 
No, but might it not give us some ideas?
 
Posted by Lardi on :
 
Shouldn't we consult Captain Lightbulb for ideas?
 
Posted by cleome on :
 
Is she related to Reddy Kilowatt?
 
Posted by Lardi on :
 
Isn't Cap a boy?
 
Posted by Kent Shakespeare on :
 
have you, um, checked to make sure?
 
Posted by Lardi on :
 
Doesn't he fill out that speedo rather well?
 
Posted by Kent Shakespeare on :
 
What if she's faking it with a codpiece?
 
Posted by dedman on :
 
Who puts fish in their pants?
 
Posted by Dev Em on :
 
You mean you don't?
 
Posted by Lardi on :
 
Is that where that smell is coming from?
 
Posted by cleome on :
 
And does that explain the clowder of cats that always seems to follow at the captain's heels?
 
Posted by Dev Em on :
 
Do you know anything else that smells like that?
 
Posted by Lardi on :
 
Do I have to tell the truth?
 
Posted by Dev Em on :
 
You mean you would lie?
 
Posted by Lardi on :
 
Isn't it the best way to respond when confronted with your previous question?
 
Posted by Dev Em on :
 
Couldn't the question have been a set up?
 
Posted by Lardi on :
 
A set up for what?
 
Posted by Quislet, Esq. on :
 
Won't you just be knocking them down again?
 
Posted by Lardi on :
 
Would you rather they were knocked up?
 
Posted by cleome on :
 
You do know that "Knocked Up" means something entirely different in the UK, right?
 
Posted by Dev Em on :
 
What does it mean?
 
Posted by Quislet, Esq. on :
 
What does it mean in the UK?
 
Posted by Dev Em on :
 
Didn't I just ask that? [Wink]
 
Posted by Quislet, Esq. on :
 
Are the questions exactly alike?
 
Posted by Dev Em on :
 
Close enough, don't you think?
 
Posted by dedman on :
 
But are they identical, or just fratenal?
 
Posted by Rockhopper Lad on :
 
Were they twin questions?
 
Posted by Dev Em on :
 
Can they be separated?
 
Posted by Quislet, Esq. on :
 
They are not conjoined twins, are they?
 
Posted by Dev Em on :
 
Will they both survive?
 
Posted by He Who Wanders on :
 
Or will one question adopt the evil personality of the other? [Evil]
 
Posted by Quislet, Esq. on :
 
Does that always happen?
 
Posted by He Who Wanders on :
 
Doesn't it have to happen just once to give twin questions a bad name?
 
Posted by Dev Em on :
 
Do you think that one bad twin spoils the duo?
 
Posted by dedman on :
 
What if they're both bad?
 
Posted by Dev Em on :
 
Would it matter then?
 
Posted by Pov on :
 
You mean bad-bad [Evil] or GOOD-bad? [Styx] [Stiletta]
 
Posted by cleome on :
 
Aren't these terms highly subjective anyway?
 
Posted by Rockhopper Lad on :
 
Isn't all of life subjective?
 
Posted by cleome on :
 
This is a life?!
 
Posted by Rockhopper Lad on :
 
If so, shouldn't it be continued in a new thread?
