The object of this game is to have a coherent conversation (difficult enough
with some grexers I know), while speaking only in questions.  Non-sequiturs
("Isn't it a nice day?"  "wouldn't you rather discuss penguins?"), repetitions
("What's your name?"  "What's *your* name?"), and statements ("My name's Dan")
are illegal.

In "Rosencrantz and Guildenstern are Dead", a more complex version, with
scoring, is played.  Although we will not be keeping score, this version
having more than two players, we will follow their convention of restarting
play after each "foul".

So...anyone care to play?

Shouldn't Alzheimer have Alzheimer's and Gandalf have Gandalf's?

And if Gandalf does have Alzheimer's, shouldn't he be giving it back?

Why would anyone need Alzheimer's?

Why should anyone care if anyone else needs alzheimer's?

If we aren't following the rules, why is everyone carrying on the
discussion in this funny way?

Would computer geeks like us have anything better to do?

Are you implying that I'm a computer geek?

Are you putting words in my mouth?

Hey, are you guys going to *fight* over this?

Do you think I'm the sort of fellow who backs off from a fight?

Can we try to avoid fighting?

Can't we all just get along?

Wanna give it a try?

Can I get a hug?

Why? Would a hug help? Are you that type of person?
Shouldn't you check first to see if I am too? Otherwise,
aren't you being just a little self absorbed?
  

Do you feel hypocritical when you ask that?

What kind of sicko wouldn't want a hug?

How does one feel hypOcritical? Does it require a needle?
Do you really think I'm being critical? That isn't the same as
just being curious, is it? Don't I have a right to be curious?

What are the rules?

Why does it matter?  Does anybody follow them anyway?

Who needs rules?

Do you need anything?
