Grex Iq Conference
Item 136: Questions, anyone?
Entered by orinoco on Tue Jun 25 13:46:37 1996:
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?

Why would anyone want to play a game like this?
#2 of 680 by rcurl on Tue Jun 25 19:17:21 1996:
What other games are like this?
#3 of 680 by gandalf on Tue Jun 25 23:29:32 1996:
Is this as stupid as I think it is???
#4 of 680 by rcurl on Wed Jun 26 00:18:44 1996:
If this is as stupid as you think it is, is there any way to reduce
its stupidity?
#5 of 680 by robh on Wed Jun 26 14:07:45 1996:
How does gandalf define "stupidity"?
#6 of 680 by gandalf on Wed Jun 26 16:31:16 1996:
Who knows?
#7 of 680 by orinoco on Wed Jun 26 17:20:03 1996:
shouldn't gandalf know how he defines stupidity?
#8 of 680 by robh on Wed Jun 26 18:18:37 1996:
Does gandalf have Alzheimer's?
#9 of 680 by rywfol on Fri Jun 28 08:03:13 1996:
Shouldn't Alzheimer have Alzheimer's and Gandalf have Gandalf's?
#10 of 680 by orinoco on Fri Jun 28 13:31:50 1996:
And if Gandalf does have Alzheimer's, shouldn't he be giving it back?
#11 of 680 by kain on Fri Jun 28 16:04:57 1996:
what if gandlaf needs alzheimer's?
#12 of 680 by robh on Fri Jun 28 17:57:03 1996:
Why would anyone need Alzheimer's?
#13 of 680 by orinoco on Fri Jun 28 18:31:48 1996:
Why should anyone care if anyone else needs alzheimer's?
#14 of 680 by rcurl on Fri Jun 28 19:55:16 1996:
Didn't someone say the object of this game is to have a coherent conversation?
#15 of 680 by robh on Sat Jun 29 15:56:55 1996:
Did you really think we were going to follow the rules?
#16 of 680 by rcurl on Sat Jun 29 19:40:13 1996:
If we aren't following the rules, why is everyone carrying on the
discussion in this funny way?
#17 of 680 by robh on Sun Jun 30 07:17:48 1996:
Would computer geeks like us have anything better to do?
#18 of 680 by orinoco on Sat Jul 6 20:41:08 1996:
Are you implying that I'm a computer geek?
#19 of 680 by robh on Sat Jul 6 22:00:45 1996:
Are you putting words in my mouth?
#20 of 680 by scott on Sat Jul 6 23:57:31 1996:
Hey, are you guys going to *fight* over this?
#21 of 680 by robh on Sun Jul 7 04:17:12 1996:
Do you think I'm the sort of fellow who backs off from a fight?
#22 of 680 by anne on Mon Jul 15 20:04:43 1996:
Can we try to avoid fighting?
#23 of 680 by robh on Tue Jul 16 08:23:32 1996:
Can't we all just get along?
#24 of 680 by anne on Tue Jul 16 15:55:58 1996:
Wanna give it a try?
#25 of 680 by robh on Tue Jul 16 18:02:54 1996:
Can I get a hug?
#26 of 680 by gulliver on Sat Jul 27 23:03:55 1996:
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?
#27 of 680 by scott on Sun Jul 28 00:59:05 1996:
Do you feel hypocritical when you ask that?
#28 of 680 by robh on Sun Jul 28 01:44:09 1996:
What kind of sicko wouldn't want a hug?
#29 of 680 by gulliver on Thu Aug 1 17:21:24 1996:
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?
#30 of 680 by scott on Fri Aug 2 16:15:05 1996:
are rhetorical questions against the rules in this version?
#31 of 680 by unknown on Fri Aug 9 01:29:15 1996:
What are the rules?
#32 of 680 by orinoco on Tue Aug 13 15:31:24 1996:
Why does it matter? Does anybody follow them anyway?
#33 of 680 by gandalf on Tue Aug 13 16:17:35 1996:
Who needs rules?
#34 of 680 by orinoco on Wed Aug 14 14:00:40 1996:
Does anybody really *need* anything?
#35 of 680 by unknown on Sat Aug 17 17:32:32 1996:
Do you need anything?
#36 of 680 by orinoco on Sat Aug 17 19:56:39 1996:
Was that an offer?
#37 of 680 by unknown on Tue Aug 20 23:52:47 1996:
are you saying that i would offer you anything?
#38 of 680 by gulliver on Wed Aug 21 00:32:20 1996:
Has this conversation finished yet?
#39 of 680 by unknown on Thu Aug 22 22:38:34 1996:
What do you think?
#40 of 680 by orinoco on Fri Aug 23 15:24:23 1996:
Are you implying that I should know?
#41 of 680 by unknown on Sat Aug 24 18:22:27 1996:
Do you think i would imply that you should known?
#42 of 680 by orinoco on Sun Aug 25 14:47:44 1996:
How dare you suggest that I would think that you would imply that I should
know?
#43 of 680 by unknown on Tue Aug 27 22:53:26 1996:
should you know?
#44 of 680 by orinoco on Wed Aug 28 23:10:29 1996:
does it strike you that this conversation is getting nowhere?
#45 of 680 by unknown on Tue Sep 3 22:17:29 1996:
Do you think we need to tell more people about this?
#46 of 680 by kain on Tue Sep 3 23:40:58 1996:
why would we do a silly thing like that?
#47 of 680 by robh on Wed Sep 4 14:16:07 1996:
Why would we suddenly stop doing silly things?
#48 of 680 by orinoco on Sat Sep 7 16:22:00 1996:
Is there anyone here who could ssurvive without silly things?
#49 of 680 by unknown on Fri Sep 13 21:16:02 1996:
Can you survive without silly things?
#50 of 680 by llanarth on Sun Sep 15 20:55:34 1996:
If we consider them silly.. then why would we need them to survive?
#51 of 680 by achilles on Mon Sep 16 05:38:22 1996:
Who deems what is silly and what is not?
#52 of 680 by unknown on Tue Sep 17 21:02:28 1996:
Do you deem that this item is silly?
#53 of 680 by orinoco on Thu Sep 19 01:07:13 1996:
Doesn't "deem" sound really funny if you say if often enough?
(deem deem deem deem deem deem demm demm deem)
#54 of 680 by scott on Thu Sep 19 11:04:28 1996:
Don't you agree that "subtle" is even funnier under the same conditions?
#55 of 680 by orinoco on Fri Sep 20 01:49:42 1996:
Shouldn't "worm" and "juxtapose" also count?
#56 of 680 by unknown on Sun Sep 22 18:50:44 1996:
Do you think we should add warm to that list?
#57 of 680 by cyberpnk on Mon Sep 23 18:42:04 1996:
Do you think I could get a beer? Could I get more confuzzled than I am now?
#58 of 680 by orinoco on Mon Sep 23 23:22:55 1996:
Would a beer help you reach that state of confuzzlement? If so, does anyone
have an antidote?
#59 of 680 by llanarth on Tue Sep 24 19:56:46 1996:
Do you understand what you just asked?
#60 of 680 by juliette on Sat Sep 28 02:12:02 1996:
Fi you see the word "bus" a lot of times in a row it looks really odd...like
it's spelled incorrectly
#61 of 680 by orinoco on Sat Sep 28 15:29:24 1996:
wouldn't this be an oppoirtune moment to note that *someone* isn't reading
the rules?
#62 of 680 by juliette on Sat Sep 28 20:58:31 1996:
rules?
#63 of 680 by orinoco on Sun Sep 29 14:10:27 1996:
have you noticed a pattern in these responses? particularly in the
punctuation that every sentence ends in? haven't you wondered why that might
be?
#64 of 680 by unknown on Sun Sep 29 18:17:36 1996:
Is the ? the punctuation that you are refering to?
#65 of 680 by juliette on Sun Sep 29 19:19:57 1996:
ahh...so the ? is the important part of every response here?
#66 of 680 by orinoco on Sun Sep 29 20:53:43 1996:
would it be reasonable to assume that you know the answer to that one?
#67 of 680 by llanarth on Mon Sep 30 14:39:40 1996:
BUt..do you know the answer to taht one, orinoco?
#68 of 680 by orinoco on Mon Sep 30 21:13:41 1996:
Why should I tell you?
#69 of 680 by anne on Tue Oct 1 19:30:05 1996:
Would you tell if she asked nicely?
#70 of 680 by orinoco on Fri Oct 4 19:33:48 1996:
Are you accusing me of discriminating against the niceness-challenged?
#71 of 680 by juliette on Sat Oct 5 20:51:07 1996:
If the ?is then important part of the reponse, then I would think that the
question orinoco asked would be answered in this response, maybe?
Am I getting the hang of this yet?
#72 of 680 by zabito on Mon Oct 7 19:55:11 1996:
well,this is the iq game room............or room something.......?
#73 of 680 by orinoco on Mon Oct 7 21:25:59 1996:
do you realize, zabito, that you can't just put a question mark on teh end
of statement and call it a question?
#74 of 680 by gulliver on Fri Oct 11 03:54:19 1996:
Can't any statement of information be construed as a question in the sense
that the speaker is asking for the information to be verified?
#75 of 680 by orinoco on Sun Oct 20 02:03:03 1996:
Wouldn't that only apply if the speaker was unsure of what he or she was
saying?
#76 of 680 by nistel on Mon Nov 11 14:58:18 1996:
Was there 75 responses in all ? And am I not that fool who read through it
all ? Aren't you the next fool geek in this IQ bane ?
#77 of 680 by llanarth on Thu Nov 14 01:55:57 1996:
are you crazy nistel?
#78 of 680 by orinoco on Sat Nov 23 21:08:29 1996:
Is it just me, or has the conversation died off in here?
#79 of 680 by e4808mc on Sun Nov 24 01:35:03 1996:
Didn't anyone notice that I quit?
#80 of 680 by orinoco on Sun Nov 24 14:11:12 1996:
Wouldn't my previous question imply that *I* at least noticed?
#81 of 680 by e4808mc on Mon Nov 25 05:35:24 1996:
How can you notice something that isn't true?
#82 of 680 by robh on Mon Nov 25 14:14:42 1996:
If we couldn't notice things that weren't true, would we even
have a word for "false"?
#83 of 680 by e4808mc on Mon Nov 25 23:42:07 1996:
Since my first question wasn't true was it false? Have *you* ever heard of
a false question?
#84 of 680 by orinoco on Tue Nov 26 00:45:09 1996:
If you haven't heard of something, does that mean it doesn't exist? And can't
a question *imply* a falsehood if it wants to?
#85 of 680 by toking on Tue Dec 31 20:20:03 1996:
if a question is posed in such a way that the answerer tells a lie but
beleives it to be the correct answere is the question itself a bad influence?
shouldn't the question then be beaten with a stick?
#86 of 680 by orinoco on Tue Dec 31 22:52:13 1996:
How can you beat an intangible object with a stick? Are there objects with
which you *can* beat an intangible object?
<orinoco pulls out his wooden stake and silver bullets and starts hunting for
an evil question to kill>
#87 of 680 by toking on Wed Jan 1 02:31:59 1997:
if the question wasn't really a question, but really a person, wouldn't you
then be able to pummle it with anything you wanted? But what if the question
were a statewment>?
#88 of 680 by gulliver on Wed Jan 1 04:13:03 1997:
If the question were a statement and the statement didn't stick,
can the question indigestion cause the facts to make you sick?
#89 of 680 by orinoco on Wed Jan 1 20:18:09 1997:
what is wrong with you people? Are you making sense and I'm just not
noticing?
#90 of 680 by robh on Wed Jan 1 21:18:30 1997:
If you don't notice, then what's the difference?
#91 of 680 by toking on Thu Jan 2 12:36:09 1997:
didn't you notice that this item is basically senseless?
#92 of 680 by robh on Thu Jan 2 16:24:12 1997:
And how does that make it different from any of the other
items here?
#93 of 680 by toking on Fri Jan 3 14:30:15 1997:
should it make it different?
#94 of 680 by orinoco on Fri Jan 3 23:09:30 1997:
Just because it's senselessness doesn't make it different, should that make
it's senselessness unimportant?
#95 of 680 by gandalf on Sun Jan 5 00:54:33 1997:
Huh?????????????????
#96 of 680 by jradio on Tue Feb 18 20:52:03 1997:
Does [Danybody really know what time it is?
[A[B[BDoes anybody really care?
#97 of 680 by orinoco on Tue Feb 18 20:56:27 1997:
[A[B[BDo you think I care?
[D[BDo I look like I would [A[C[BDo something like that?
#98 of 680 by toking on Wed Feb 19 15:23:10 1997:
what took people so long?
what's the deal with the [A[B[B's?
#99 of 680 by orinoco on Fri Feb 21 01:13:05 1997:
You mean you don't understant the [A[B[B's?
#100 of 680 by robh on Sat Feb 22 12:24:49 1997:
If the computer understands [A[B[B, do you really need to
understand it yourself?
#101 of 680 by rkm on Sun Feb 23 08:55:34 1997:
Do computters understand anything ?
#102 of 680 by orinoco on Sun Mar 2 23:01:44 1997:
do you understand anything?
#103 of 680 by e4808mc on Mon Mar 3 01:11:59 1997:
Do you need to understand anything?
#104 of 680 by orinoco on Mon Mar 3 23:24:12 1997:
Wouldn't understanding things be nice, even if it were unneccessary?.
#105 of 680 by e4808mc on Tue Mar 4 01:33:53 1997:
But wouldn't you like to have a few mysteries in your life?
#106 of 680 by gulliver on Tue Mar 4 01:58:16 1997:
When it comes to mysteries, how many is a few?
#107 of 680 by orinoco on Wed Mar 5 20:58:38 1997:
Do you want that in metric or imperial units?
#108 of 680 by robh on Sun Mar 9 02:56:15 1997:
Can't we have it in Rebel units, like in Star Wars?
#109 of 680 by adania on Sun Mar 9 06:05:25 1997:
am i your father, luke?
#110 of 680 by robh on Sun Mar 9 17:47:03 1997:
Have you seen Mary? Who made her cry all night, was it my father?
Who was my father?
#111 of 680 by orinoco on Mon Mar 10 17:06:07 1997:
whatever happenned to luke's mother, anyway? Was there a Mrs. Skywalker?
#112 of 680 by adania on Tue Mar 11 03:31:18 1997:
how do you know that i am not Mrs. Skywalker?
#113 of 680 by e4808mc on Tue Mar 11 16:56:15 1997:
Wasn't Mrs. Skywalker really a princess from another planet?
#114 of 680 by orinoco on Wed Mar 12 21:19:59 1997:
Aren't you thinking of princess Leia?
#115 of 680 by e4808mc on Thu Mar 13 01:55:01 1997:
Yes, but she had a mother, didn't she?
#116 of 680 by adania on Thu Mar 13 07:36:20 1997:
Doesn't everyone have to have had a mother?
#117 of 680 by e4808mc on Thu Mar 13 17:37:29 1997:
How else would Luke have had a mother, if Leaia didn't?
#118 of 680 by orinoco on Thu Mar 13 23:11:06 1997:
Are you implying that you think I payed attention during Return of the Jedi?
Don't you realize I last saw it when I was 7 years old?
#119 of 680 by adania on Fri Mar 14 01:56:32 1997:
How old are you now?
#120 of 680 by orinoco on Sat Mar 15 00:19:47 1997:
You mean to say you don't know how old I am?
#121 of 680 by adania on Sun Mar 16 01:38:03 1997:
are you older than the hills?
#122 of 680 by orinoco on Wed Mar 19 00:18:54 1997:
how old are the hills in question?
Are these hills older than 15 years old, by any chance?
Does that answer your question?
#123 of 680 by adania on Wed Mar 19 18:08:38 1997:
How can any question truly be answered?
Which hills are you referring to?
Are you insinuating that I am as young as that?
#124 of 680 by bikeman on Wed Mar 19 21:15:08 1997:
Have any of the questions in this item REALLY been anwsered?
How many people here think (Or know) I'm insane?
#125 of 680 by adania on Wed Mar 19 23:59:20 1997:
can you get workman's comp for insanity?
#126 of 680 by bikeman on Thu Mar 20 21:45:50 1997:
What is workman's comp?
#127 of 680 by orinoco on Sat Mar 22 18:12:02 1997:
Do they have a workwoman's comp too?
#128 of 680 by adania on Mon Mar 24 06:30:43 1997:
Can you get comp if you die?
#129 of 680 by e4808mc on Tue Mar 25 18:15:51 1997:
Why can't people remember that it is "worker's compensation" no gender
attached?
#130 of 680 by adania on Wed Mar 26 08:12:26 1997:
Why is anyone so sexist??
#131 of 680 by bikeman on Wed Mar 26 21:10:42 1997:
If sexism was a fruit, which fruit would it be?
#132 of 680 by orinoco on Fri Mar 28 21:40:45 1997:
would 'the bannanna' be to freudian an answer?
#133 of 680 by bikeman on Sat Mar 29 02:00:19 1997:
What is the deffinition of a "freudian answer"?
#134 of 680 by orinoco on Sat Mar 29 15:07:04 1997:
Why does everything need to be so specific?
#135 of 680 by bikeman on Sat Mar 29 17:43:48 1997:
If everything were specific, whold that mean that vague would have no meaning?
#136 of 680 by orinoco on Tue Apr 1 03:38:13 1997:
If everything were specific, wouldn't vague have a clearly defined and
specified meaning?
#137 of 680 by bikeman on Wed Apr 2 02:09:54 1997:
Does anybody know what day it is?!?!?
#138 of 680 by orinoco on Wed Apr 2 19:02:30 1997:
What do I look like, a walking calendar?
#139 of 680 by bikeman on Wed Apr 2 20:46:48 1997:
Are you kidding? Aren't you a walking clock? (:P
#140 of 680 by toking on Wed Apr 2 21:14:47 1997:
WILL IT EVER STOP!!!!!
#141 of 680 by bikeman on Thu Apr 3 20:46:08 1997:
Are there rules to this game?
#142 of 680 by adania on Thu Apr 3 21:02:26 1997:
Don't all games have rules?
#143 of 680 by toking on Thu Apr 3 21:08:01 1997:
Haven't you ever seen Rosencrantz and Gildenatern?
#144 of 680 by e4808mc on Thu Apr 3 23:18:50 1997:
Aren't they dead?
#145 of 680 by bikeman on Fri Apr 4 22:22:15 1997:
Doesn't 21 (Basketball) have no rules?
#146 of 680 by orinoco on Sun Apr 6 00:41:07 1997:
Wouldn't that make it a wee bit chaotic?
#147 of 680 by adania on Sun Apr 6 00:50:36 1997:
isn't chaos grand?
#148 of 680 by bikeman on Sun Apr 6 19:10:36 1997:
Isn't confusion BETTER than chaos?
#149 of 680 by orinoco on Mon Apr 7 01:33:43 1997:
aren't they the same thing?
#150 of 680 by adania on Mon Apr 7 01:44:43 1997:
how could confusion possibly be better than chaos?
#151 of 680 by orinoco on Tue Apr 8 00:24:58 1997:
is it possible to confuse confusion with chaos?
#152 of 680 by bikeman on Tue Apr 8 20:31:23 1997:
If chaos were in a forrest, and a tree fell on it, woulkd anybody care...???
#153 of 680 by orinoco on Tue Apr 8 22:07:26 1997:
if bikeman entered a response, and he spelled forest wrong, would anyone
notice?
#154 of 680 by adania on Wed Apr 9 02:18:53 1997:
Was he talking about Mr. Gump?
#155 of 680 by bikeman on Fri Apr 11 20:22:55 1997:
Did anyone here not see Forest Gump?
#156 of 680 by orinoco on Sun Apr 13 13:57:59 1997:
Why would I miss something like that?
#157 of 680 by bikeman on Sat Apr 19 03:53:05 1997:
HOW could you miss something like that?
#158 of 680 by orinoco on Tue Apr 22 22:22:35 1997:
Wouldn't it be fairly easy, when you think about it?
#159 of 680 by adania on Tue Apr 22 23:18:06 1997:
why would you be thinking about it?
#160 of 680 by toking on Wed Apr 23 04:54:13 1997:
can anyone think of another item for this conference?
#161 of 680 by orinoco on Sat Apr 26 16:26:36 1997:
if they could think of one, wouldn't they have entered it?
#162 of 680 by bikeman on Mon Apr 28 00:20:04 1997:
If someone knew a good item, but they were too shy to enter it, what would
happen?
#163 of 680 by e4808mc on Tue Apr 29 13:37:14 1997:
wouldn't we all rush to help them out?
#164 of 680 by orinoco on Tue Apr 29 23:00:18 1997:
How do you know everyone would be so generous?
#165 of 680 by djbasu on Wed Apr 30 07:19:15 1997:
How can we finish off this thing???
#166 of 680 by toking on Wed Apr 30 20:33:21 1997:
can we fling it into a deep dark deep dark deepdarkdeepdakrdeepdark pit?
Can we feed it to Snuffeloupegus?
#167 of 680 by orinoco on Thu May 1 20:35:30 1997:
Can we misspell muppets' names?
#168 of 680 by bikeman on Sat May 3 02:24:46 1997:
Well, How DO you spell that guy's name?
Is he even a guy?
#169 of 680 by orinoco on Sat May 3 15:35:03 1997:
Do muppets have gender?
For that matter, do muppets have sex?
Do we want to think about that?
#170 of 680 by bikeman on Sat May 10 02:06:55 1997:
If we don't think about it, will it ever be anwsered?
If muppets don't have sex, how do they reproduce?
Can muppets reproduce a-sexually?
Are muppets Hermaphrodites?
Is there a word for being NEITHER male or female?
If so, what is that word?
Is it just me, or are my questions really abnormal?
Can I spell anything right?
#171 of 680 by toking on Sat May 10 04:26:57 1997:
wouldn't that be neuter?
#172 of 680 by orinoco on Sat May 10 14:00:45 1997:
But how can muppets be neuter if Bert had a girlfriend?
#173 of 680 by bikeman on Sun May 11 02:52:17 1997:
Bert has a girlfriend?
Who is it?
#174 of 680 by orinoco on Wed May 14 02:06:53 1997:
You mean you haven't heard the "I want to hold your ear" song?
#175 of 680 by bikeman on Wed May 14 02:32:22 1997:
Is that sorta like "I wanna hold your hand"?
#176 of 680 by orinoco on Fri May 16 21:22:17 1997:
Would you belive that it's worse?
#177 of 680 by bikeman on Fri May 16 22:18:13 1997:
What is your idea of worse?
#178 of 680 by orinoco on Sun May 18 16:54:28 1997:
How can worse mean anything other than what it means?
#179 of 680 by toking on Sat Aug 2 05:02:51 1997:
how bad is it when you cant remember to visit a conference?
#180 of 680 by bopkins on Sat Aug 2 18:53:19 1997:
I don't know. How bad is it?
#181 of 680 by orinoco on Sat Aug 9 02:36:55 1997:
Is it worse than when you remember to visit the conference and it's still
boring?
#182 of 680 by bopkins on Sat Aug 9 17:45:18 1997:
Wouldn't it be even worse if the conference you visited was extremely active
and yet boring?
#183 of 680 by orinoco on Sun Aug 10 22:41:48 1997:
Did I say that the conference was inactive?
Which conference are we refering to?
Isn't this a linked item?
Where are you?
Where am I?
#184 of 680 by bopkins on Mon Aug 11 01:55:10 1997:
How active can a conference be if only two people reply to it?
#185 of 680 by bikeman on Mon Aug 11 03:15:26 1997:
What would happen if I joined it? Would everything be cheery? Wouldn';t that
make 3 people iun this one conversation? Does that mean we each have one
third of the resposibility of the conversation? Are you going to let your
end down, Bopkins or orinoco?
#186 of 680 by orinoco on Mon Aug 11 16:52:15 1997:
Are you implying that I would give up on my sole remaining active item?
#187 of 680 by bopkins on Mon Aug 11 22:02:02 1997:
And is a three person conversation really better than one involving two
people? Does "the more the merrier" apply here?
#188 of 680 by orinoco on Tue Aug 12 15:17:36 1997:
What about 'two's company, three's a crowd', hmm? Ever thought of that one?
#189 of 680 by bopkins on Tue Aug 12 18:06:12 1997:
And if I had thought of it?
#190 of 680 by bikeman on Wed Aug 13 02:42:55 1997:
Are you implying something, orinoco? Whould you like me to leave? Am I not
welcome?
#191 of 680 by orinoco on Wed Aug 13 02:47:23 1997:
Did I ever say it was you who wasn't welcome? Couldn't it just as well be
bopkins? Or even myself?
#192 of 680 by bopkins on Thu Aug 14 00:11:13 1997:
Or could it be that we are all welcome?
#193 of 680 by toking on Thu Aug 14 01:13:36 1997:
does one actice item keep a confrence from getting killed?
#194 of 680 by orinoco on Thu Aug 14 16:43:05 1997:
Haven't there been times when there haven't been any active items?
Have you heard of the 'safety' conference?
#195 of 680 by toking on Thu Aug 14 20:30:33 1997:
whats the safety confrence?
#196 of 680 by orinoco on Fri Aug 15 01:28:35 1997:
Would that imply that you haven't heard of the least active conference of all
time?
#197 of 680 by bikeman on Fri Aug 15 01:33:26 1997:
Isn't there other inavtive conferences out there?
#198 of 680 by orinoco on Fri Aug 15 15:24:53 1997:
Did I say it was the *only* incative conference?
Didn't you hear me call it the *least active* conference?
#199 of 680 by orinoco on Fri Aug 15 15:25:29 1997:
And what's an invative conference, anyway?
#200 of 680 by bopkins on Fri Aug 15 20:24:53 1997:
Doesn't anyone know how to spell inactive?
#201 of 680 by orinoco on Sun Aug 17 02:04:44 1997:
Would an invative conference be midway between an inactive conference and an
invasive conference?
#202 of 680 by bikeman on Sat Aug 23 04:11:49 1997:
What does invasive mean? Am I the only one here that doesn't know?
#203 of 680 by orinoco on Sat Aug 23 20:39:38 1997:
Wouldn't it appear so?
#204 of 680 by bopkins on Sun Aug 24 00:41:20 1997:
Do you believe you are the only one who doesn't know what it means?
#205 of 680 by orinoco on Sun Aug 24 17:16:22 1997:
Are you trying to insinuate that I am the only one who does know what it
means?
#206 of 680 by bopkins on Sun Aug 24 21:33:10 1997:
What about it if I am?
#207 of 680 by bikeman on Mon Aug 25 02:20:16 1997:
Did you know I'm an idiot?
#208 of 680 by orinoco on Mon Aug 25 03:27:40 1997:
Why are you telling me this?
#209 of 680 by bopkins on Mon Aug 25 17:11:58 1997:
And if you are an idiot?
#210 of 680 by orinoco on Mon Aug 25 20:26:33 1997:
Do you think we have an objection to idiots, perhaps?
#211 of 680 by bikeman on Tue Aug 26 22:53:36 1997:
do you mean to say you don't have an objection to idiots?
#212 of 680 by bopkins on Wed Aug 27 00:34:37 1997:
And what happens if we do have an objection to them?
#213 of 680 by toking on Wed Aug 27 20:18:32 1997:
shouldn't they be killed?
#214 of 680 by orinoco on Wed Aug 27 22:07:42 1997:
Is violence really the right way to deal with things?
#215 of 680 by bikeman on Wed Aug 27 22:49:39 1997:
Isn't Violence Fun?
#216 of 680 by bopkins on Wed Aug 27 23:45:52 1997:
Is it just the idiots who think violence is fun?
#217 of 680 by orinoco on Thu Aug 28 00:40:08 1997:
Are we back to that 'idiot' thing?
#218 of 680 by bopkins on Thu Aug 28 18:19:46 1997:
Do you have a problem with the 'idiot thing'?
#219 of 680 by orinoco on Thu Aug 28 23:17:08 1997:
Did I say I had a problem with it?
Can't a guy ask an innocent question around here?
#220 of 680 by bopkins on Fri Aug 29 20:13:06 1997:
Was your question that innocent?
#221 of 680 by bikeman on Sun Aug 31 04:12:20 1997:
Well, What's YOUR deffinition of innocent?
#222 of 680 by orinoco on Sun Aug 31 13:39:10 1997:
Is innocence capable of being defined?
#223 of 680 by snowth on Wed Sep 3 02:00:52 1997:
Does innocence really exsist annyway?
#224 of 680 by orinoco on Wed Sep 3 20:39:19 1997:
Can you define something that doesn't exist?
#225 of 680 by bikeman on Fri Sep 5 01:56:53 1997:
What were we talking about? Does anybody know?
#226 of 680 by orinoco on Fri Sep 5 02:30:01 1997:
Does anybody care?
#227 of 680 by snowth on Fri Sep 5 03:58:56 1997:
If anybody actually did care, would they do so to the point of bothering to
enter in a response?
#228 of 680 by bopkins on Fri Sep 5 06:43:57 1997:
Eh?
#229 of 680 by orinoco on Sat Sep 6 03:10:17 1997:
Are you Canadian, or just impersonating one?
#230 of 680 by bopkins on Sun Sep 7 01:29:38 1997:
Would you have a problem if I was one?
#231 of 680 by snowth on Sun Sep 7 04:10:47 1997:
Problems? What are those?
#232 of 680 by bopkins on Sun Sep 7 12:32:25 1997:
Are you saying you don't have any problems?
#233 of 680 by orinoco on Sun Sep 7 18:24:31 1997:
Are there any people who *really* don't have probelms?
#234 of 680 by pawprint on Mon Sep 8 23:41:32 1997:
So.
#235 of 680 by orinoco on Tue Sep 9 02:30:43 1997:
Shouldn't that have been a question?
#236 of 680 by snowth on Tue Sep 9 04:27:28 1997:
If that had been a quiestion, would you have responded differently?
#237 of 680 by orinoco on Tue Sep 9 23:17:56 1997:
Do you think I would respond the same way to two different things?
#238 of 680 by snowth on Wed Sep 10 04:58:21 1997:
Would you?
#239 of 680 by bopkins on Thu Sep 11 00:42:08 1997:
Does it really matter either way?
#240 of 680 by orinoco on Thu Sep 11 21:42:38 1997:
How dare you minimise the importance of my reactions?
#241 of 680 by eldrich on Thu Sep 11 22:23:47 1997:
You wouldn't minimise me, would you?
#242 of 680 by orinoco on Fri Sep 12 01:17:20 1997:
Do you have a low enough opinion of me that you have to ask?
#243 of 680 by snowth on Fri Sep 12 04:24:55 1997:
If he did, would he tell it to your face?
#244 of 680 by orinoco on Fri Sep 12 22:15:27 1997:
Do you doubt his honesty?
#245 of 680 by eldrich on Sat Sep 13 03:51:22 1997:
Do you insult her trustingness?
#246 of 680 by orinoco on Sat Sep 13 14:25:07 1997:
Do you care about my apathy?
#247 of 680 by bopkins on Sat Sep 13 23:13:08 1997:
What's with all of the questioning of each other's intentions?
#248 of 680 by orinoco on Sun Sep 14 00:53:41 1997:
Would you by any chance be questioning our intentions in questioning each
other's intentions?
#249 of 680 by snowth on Sun Sep 14 06:51:37 1997:
Is it possible that you're taking this much too seriously, dear?
#250 of 680 by orinoco on Sun Sep 14 23:01:03 1997:
Do you really think I'd pass up this opportunity to not take something
seriously?
#251 of 680 by snowth on Mon Sep 15 01:10:53 1997:
Would you be mad if I said yes?
#252 of 680 by orinoco on Mon Sep 15 01:56:48 1997:
How could I get mad about something I don't take seriously?
#253 of 680 by bopkins on Mon Sep 15 21:57:59 1997:
Are any of us really capable about taking something seriously?
#254 of 680 by snowth on Tue Sep 16 21:13:01 1997:
Is being serious really the issue here?
#255 of 680 by bopkins on Wed Sep 17 02:20:18 1997:
Are you seriously suggesting that you know what the real issue here is?
#256 of 680 by snowth on Wed Sep 17 22:52:38 1997:
Even if I did, do you think I'd tell anyone?
#257 of 680 by bopkins on Sat Sep 20 18:29:33 1997:
Do you think you need to tell anyone?
#258 of 680 by orinoco on Sun Sep 21 19:00:23 1997:
How could you possibly keep it a secret?
(Did you miss me?)
#259 of 680 by snowth on Tue Sep 23 04:01:08 1997:
How could I possibley have avoided missing you?
What at are secrets?
#260 of 680 by eldrich on Wed Sep 24 03:02:32 1997:
What aren't secret? And is that a waterbufflo, or are you just happy to see
me?
#261 of 680 by bopkins on Thu Sep 25 00:02:35 1997:
Who are you calling a waterbuffalo?
And what the heck is a waterbuffalo?
#262 of 680 by orinoco on Thu Sep 25 01:02:30 1997:
How can you not know what a waterbuffalo is?
How can you not recognize the infinite glory of the great waterbuffalo?
Have you accepted the great waterbuffalo as your personal saviour?
#263 of 680 by cyberpnk on Thu Sep 25 19:29:22 1997:
Do you not BELIEVE in the Great Waterbuffalo, brothers and sisters?
Do you know what will happen to you if you don't BELIEVE?!?
#264 of 680 by orinoco on Thu Sep 25 21:16:41 1997:
Will I burn eternally in the fires of hell?
Can I? Please?
#265 of 680 by bopkins on Fri Sep 26 18:46:58 1997:
Would one be in hell if they were in the presence of the Great Waterbuffalo?
#266 of 680 by snowth on Sat Sep 27 03:46:17 1997:
Where's my waterbuffalo?
Why don't I have a waterbuffalo?
Are you prepared to deal with all this?
Will you stop being so silly?
#267 of 680 by orinoco on Sat Sep 27 17:46:21 1997:
Have you ever seen me stop being silly?
Do you think it's a likely proposition?
#268 of 680 by snowth on Sun Sep 28 19:41:59 1997:
Do you think I'd want to see you not being a fruitcake? Wouldn't that just
be against your natural personality?
#269 of 680 by bopkins on Mon Sep 29 02:31:43 1997:
Is there really only one fruitcake in the world? Is it you?
#270 of 680 by orinoco on Mon Sep 29 21:51:10 1997:
Isn't it more accurate to say that there can be as many as one and a quarter?
#271 of 680 by bopkins on Tue Sep 30 20:52:55 1997:
Eh?
#272 of 680 by eldrich on Tue Sep 30 21:42:32 1997:
Could I accept the great fruitcake as my personal savior? Would I burn in the
fires of hell for that?
#273 of 680 by orinoco on Tue Sep 30 21:54:50 1997:
What about congealing in the frigidaires of hell?
#274 of 680 by eldrich on Tue Sep 30 22:12:48 1997:
Are you implying with your accusations of congealation that I am merely a glob
of jello in the pits of hell?
#275 of 680 by orinoco on Wed Oct 1 02:58:16 1997:
Would you rather, perhaps, be a grapefruit in purgatory?
#276 of 680 by eldrich on Wed Oct 1 20:32:55 1997:
Don't I get the option of being a kewi in heaven?
#277 of 680 by snowth on Wed Oct 1 22:47:37 1997:
If we gave you that option, wouldn't we have to give it to everybody? Is that
fair to those we already haven't given the option to?
#278 of 680 by eldrich on Thu Oct 2 02:08:25 1997:
Wouldn't it be fairer to the rest of the population to give them the option
of being a squash in nirvana (adusting to being a kewi is dificult due to the
fuzzy brown skin)?
#279 of 680 by bopkins on Thu Oct 2 20:59:40 1997:
Are you saying that you're all fruits?
#280 of 680 by snowth on Sun Oct 5 21:39:10 1997:
Fruits, or fruitcakes?
#281 of 680 by bopkins on Wed Oct 8 22:01:46 1997:
Is there really any difference?
#282 of 680 by orinoco on Wed Oct 8 23:11:13 1997:
Would it matter if there was a difference?
#283 of 680 by snowth on Thu Oct 9 01:37:39 1997:
If there was a difference, would we notice?
Oh, and aren't you thrilled I past my skating test?
#284 of 680 by eldrich on Thu Oct 9 14:23:16 1997:
How do skating tests relate to netherworldly necterines?
#285 of 680 by orinoco on Thu Oct 9 16:36:31 1997:
Do nectarines skate on the icier layers of hell?
#286 of 680 by bopkins on Fri Oct 10 02:52:49 1997:
Shouldn't you be the one to answer that?
#287 of 680 by orinoco on Fri Oct 10 23:05:43 1997:
Why does everyone always assume that I know what I'm talking about?
#288 of 680 by cyberpnk on Sat Oct 11 17:29:58 1997:
The Great Waterbuffalo knows all!
#289 of 680 by orinoco on Sat Oct 11 20:37:29 1997:
(Statement!)
What do you know about the Great Waterbuffalo?
#290 of 680 by snowth on Sat Oct 11 22:13:22 1997:
Aren't statements a bad thing?
If I knew anything about the Great Waterbuffalo, do you think I would pass
it on to mere mortals like these?
#291 of 680 by bopkins on Mon Oct 13 00:15:07 1997:
What makes you think we're mere mortals? Hmm?
#292 of 680 by orinoco on Mon Oct 13 01:52:51 1997:
Are you claiming to be immortal?
#293 of 680 by snowth on Mon Oct 13 03:01:43 1997:
Wouldn't I know it if you weren't mere mortals? Wouldn't that be my right as
I am the one who is always right?
#294 of 680 by cyberpnk on Wed Oct 15 19:58:27 1997:
ONLY the Great Waterbuffalo is always right!
#295 of 680 by atticus on Wed Oct 15 20:14:27 1997:
Can I please be immoral?
#296 of 680 by toking on Wed Oct 15 20:15:44 1997:
<statement 294>
isn't that your choice?
#297 of 680 by eldrich on Thu Oct 16 02:46:55 1997:
Isn't that the Great Waterbuffalo's decision? Does the Great Waterbuffalow
favor bhudist or puritan kewis? Is his preference affected by the Kewi's
ability to pass scating tests?
#298 of 680 by snowth on Sat Oct 18 02:57:01 1997:
What is a scating test?
#299 of 680 by orinoco on Sun Oct 19 20:05:40 1997:
For that matter, what is a bhudist? A kewi? A Waterbuffalow?
#300 of 680 by diznave on Thu Oct 23 19:21:30 1997:
Does anyone have any idea how happy I am that I found this item? Do you
realize how funny some of the questions have been? Can you forgive me if my
questions are not quite as witty?
#301 of 680 by e4808mc on Thu Oct 23 23:16:35 1997:
Does anyone else think diznave showed a lot of exuberence in his response?
#302 of 680 by bopkins on Thu Oct 23 23:55:35 1997:
Do you think he'll lose his exuberance if he stays for a while?
#303 of 680 by diznave on Fri Oct 24 01:30:37 1997:
Are you nuts? You think I'm going to lose interest in such a WONDERFUL item?
Where else in bbs can you find such intelligent humor??
#304 of 680 by snowth on Sat Oct 25 06:14:54 1997:
Wow, we have intelligent humor? Why didn't anyone tell me that?
#305 of 680 by diznave on Sat Oct 25 20:35:09 1997:
You didn't realize that there was intelligent humor in this item? Where have
you been? ;->
#306 of 680 by orinoco on Sat Oct 25 20:50:08 1997:
What effect would Tricia's location have on her perception of humor?
#307 of 680 by diznave on Sat Oct 25 20:57:13 1997:
Wouldn't she have been unable to percieve the intelligence in the humor in
this item, if she had just joined it for the first time? BTW, would you happen
to have any Grey Pupon?
#308 of 680 by snowth on Sun Oct 26 16:03:57 1997:
Who said I had just joined it for the first time? Who says I haven't been here
forever? What if I was here before there was a here to exsist in? Who says
my perception of humor is at all incorrect? (re:305 Where have I not
been? ;)
#309 of 680 by orinoco on Sun Oct 26 16:22:49 1997:
Are you implying yourself to be omnipresent?
#310 of 680 by diznave on Sun Oct 26 16:39:54 1997:
Are you implying, by ignoring my question, that you don't care for mustard?
Why are you both taking me so seriously? Who *am* I? *Is* there life in the
seas of Europa?
#311 of 680 by snowth on Mon Oct 27 03:47:51 1997:
If I did like mustard would I admit it? If there was life in the seas of
Europa, would cats stop howling at celery stalks at midnight?
#312 of 680 by diznave on Mon Oct 27 17:19:53 1997:
cats howl at celery stalks? are you sure about that? don't they meow at
bowling waitresses?
#313 of 680 by snowth on Tue Oct 28 22:59:46 1997:
If they meowed at bowling waitresses, wouldn't Michiru's hair turn blue/green?
#314 of 680 by orinoco on Wed Oct 29 00:01:24 1997:
Is it possible for Michiru's hair to turn a color which it already is? Can
a lunatic go crazy?
#315 of 680 by diznave on Wed Oct 29 08:31:46 1997:
Wouldn't you say that it would be pure lunacy to be purple, obsequious, AND
clairvoyant? Which way's north?
#316 of 680 by orinoco on Thu Oct 30 00:21:26 1997:
Is obsequious clairvoyance more common in the northern regions.
#317 of 680 by diznave on Thu Oct 30 19:54:19 1997:
Is lethargic dimwitedness more common in the southern regions?
#318 of 680 by orinoco on Thu Oct 30 22:29:34 1997:
Is failing to put interrogation marks after interrogatory sentences more
common in even numbered responses.
#319 of 680 by diznave on Fri Oct 31 03:25:24 1997:
Would I be out of line if I said it was?
#320 of 680 by orinoco on Sat Nov 1 21:13:53 1997:
Out of line with what?
#321 of 680 by snowth on Sat Nov 1 21:30:11 1997:
The universe?
#322 of 680 by orinoco on Sun Nov 2 02:29:04 1997:
How can you be out of line with something that you're part of?
#323 of 680 by diznave on Mon Nov 3 18:33:29 1997:
What if you denied the existence of the entire universe, ad claimed that it
was just a hallucination you were having?
#324 of 680 by eldrich on Tue Nov 4 02:46:23 1997:
Does the universe have a chiropractor?
#325 of 680 by diznave on Tue Nov 4 09:05:25 1997:
Can we afford her/him?
#326 of 680 by eldrich on Tue Nov 4 22:15:38 1997:
Does he take mastercard?
#327 of 680 by orinoco on Tue Nov 4 22:43:38 1997:
How do you know the sex of the cosmic chiropractor?
#328 of 680 by snowth on Tue Nov 4 22:46:06 1997:
Do we really want to know the answer to that? Wouldn't that do bad things to
all our mental sanities?
#329 of 680 by eldrich on Tue Nov 4 22:53:19 1997:
Could you be attracted to the cosmic chiropractor?
#330 of 680 by diznave on Wed Nov 5 20:33:09 1997:
WOULD YOU PLEASE SHOW YOURSELF, OH GREAT COSMIC CHIROPRACTOR?!!!!
#331 of 680 by orinoco on Thu Nov 6 22:31:15 1997:
You rang?
#332 of 680 by eldrich on Fri Nov 7 22:22:44 1997:
Is there an exorcist in the house?
#333 of 680 by snowth on Sat Nov 8 00:04:34 1997:
Is there a pumpkin on your head? What do you think, dear?
#334 of 680 by orinoco on Sat Nov 8 03:52:27 1997:
Don't you realize that the pumpkin hat is one of the most famous traditional
affects of the Cosmic Chiropractor?
#335 of 680 by diznave on Sat Nov 8 08:46:41 1997:
re #332: What kind?
#336 of 680 by orinoco on Sat Nov 8 16:53:24 1997:
Do exorcists come in different varieties?
Chocolate, vanilla and strawberry?
Name-brand and generic?
#337 of 680 by diznave on Sun Nov 9 05:07:24 1997:
Would you like fries with your exorcist?
#338 of 680 by orinoco on Sun Nov 9 16:40:39 1997:
Would you like vespers with that order?
#339 of 680 by snowth on Mon Nov 10 02:34:43 1997:
Would you like fries with that brand of crack?
Can I get a side order of nirvana to go?
#340 of 680 by lilmo on Tue Nov 11 02:13:21 1997:
May I join in?
#341 of 680 by snowth on Tue Nov 11 04:01:30 1997:
Are there rarffy pineapples in you disk drive? How bout the rest of you
lurkers? Do we have lurkeres out there? Would any of you llike t to come out
of you silent lurkitude?
#342 of 680 by diznave on Wed Nov 12 18:08:05 1997:
How did you know about my pineapples, and how will this item ever end?
#343 of 680 by snowth on Wed Nov 12 20:44:01 1997:
Is it any of your buissness to know how I came about knowing about the
pineapples? Why would we ever want this item to end?
#344 of 680 by diznave on Thu Nov 13 10:00:15 1997:
What was I thinking???? Can you ever forgive me?
#345 of 680 by snowth on Thu Nov 13 15:08:47 1997:
Can you give me a good reason why I should?
#346 of 680 by orinoco on Fri Nov 14 00:18:17 1997:
Would 'because it's there' suffice?
#347 of 680 by diznave on Fri Nov 14 11:28:48 1997:
Would 'because you're very compassionate' suffice as well? Don't you think
Rosencrantz and Guildenstern would be impressed with the scope of our game?
#348 of 680 by snowth on Fri Nov 14 18:19:41 1997:
Isn't it more likely they'd just sigh and ignore it?
#349 of 680 by orinoco on Sat Nov 15 05:08:55 1997:
Wouldn't they be disgusted at the laxity of our rules and the inadequacy of
our scoring system?
#350 of 680 by snowth on Sat Nov 15 10:35:47 1997:
Isn't that obvious?
#351 of 680 by orinoco on Sat Nov 15 22:41:40 1997:
Would this mean you're no longer de-grexified?
#352 of 680 by snowth on Sun Nov 16 09:25:42 1997:
If I was no longer de-grexified, what in the BOTH would inspire me to log on
at 5:30am in the morning? Don't you relize how my dad is a lazybutt and didn't
get around to changing the password? Doesn't this accidentally sound
accusatory by prasing it as a question? Doesn't that just completley suck?
#353 of 680 by orinoco on Mon Nov 17 00:03:00 1997:
Would 'yes' be the appropriate answer to that one?
#354 of 680 by lilmo on Mon Nov 17 00:25:12 1997:
Would it matter if it were not?
#355 of 680 by snowth on Mon Nov 17 07:06:49 1997:
If it didn't, would there still be rarffy pineapples in my disk drive?
#356 of 680 by diznave on Mon Nov 17 08:21:21 1997:
What has gotten into you lately, snowth? Are you back on the night shift in
the produce department?
#357 of 680 by snowth on Thu Nov 20 20:51:39 1997:
So what if I have? Lately? You mean I've changed?
#358 of 680 by diznave on Fri Nov 21 17:28:12 1997:
Didn't you used to stutter?
#359 of 680 by snowth on Sun Nov 23 22:05:32 1997:
Me? Stutter? Are you joking?
#360 of 680 by orinoco on Sun Nov 23 22:35:06 1997:
Did the Tricia perhaps stutter before I knew her?
#361 of 680 by lilmo on Mon Nov 24 23:48:06 1997:
Did she stutter when she typed?
#362 of 680 by snowth on Tue Nov 25 23:12:42 1997:
Haven't you *always* known Tricia, dear? (Oh, by the way, am I grinning, or
what?)
#363 of 680 by orinoco on Wed Nov 26 01:54:04 1997:
Does she look like she's stuttering when she types?
(And didn't she have a previous life before I had the honour of her
acquaintence?)
(Isn't acquaintence a great word?)
#364 of 680 by snowth on Wed Nov 26 23:00:36 1997:
Tricia? Having a life? Isn't that somewhat impossible?
#365 of 680 by orinoco on Fri Nov 28 18:06:55 1997:
Wouldn't the Tricia herself be more qualified to answer that one?
#366 of 680 by snowth on Fri Nov 28 21:53:01 1997:
Should we ask her? Is that legal?
#367 of 680 by orinoco on Fri Nov 28 22:48:01 1997:
Wouldn't this item be in trouble if asking Tricia questions was illegal?
#368 of 680 by snowth on Sat Nov 29 06:08:29 1997:
Would anyone report this item doing illegal activities? Is Tricia talking
about herself in the third person again? Isn't the one typing all this named
Tricia anyway? Shouldn't *she* be the one to know all the answers to all these
questions?
#369 of 680 by orinoco on Sat Nov 29 21:25:38 1997:
Wouldn't she be the one to know if she _were_ the one to know all the answers
to all these questions?
Can't you see this getting really convoluted really quickly?
#370 of 680 by snowth on Sat Nov 29 21:45:40 1997:
Does she mind the convolutedness?
#371 of 680 by lilmo on Mon Dec 1 04:02:58 1997:
Who is Tricia?
#372 of 680 by orinoco on Mon Dec 1 22:06:30 1997:
Who are you?
#373 of 680 by snowth on Tue Dec 2 04:51:53 1997:
Isn't Tricia the one that is? Don't I tend to GREX by the name of Tricia?
Would a Tricia by any other name be quite as perfect in every way? Am I
starting to sound like Elaine?
#374 of 680 by orinoco on Sun Dec 7 14:49:01 1997:
(Is it beginning to strike anyone else that the snowth has too many
pseudonyms?)
#375 of 680 by snowth on Sun Dec 7 18:17:07 1997:
Pseudonyms? Snowth has pseudonyms? Does she know about this? Shouldn't
somebody inform her of this?
#376 of 680 by orinoco on Mon Dec 8 22:33:28 1997:
Shouldn't she have been paying a bit more attention?
What's with this third person business anyway?
#377 of 680 by m588 on Tue Dec 9 01:06:03 1997:
how long will this game continue
#378 of 680 by orinoco on Wed Dec 10 22:47:01 1997:
Shouldn't there have been a question mark after that post?
(Is Terry new to grex? Is that why I haven't seen this particular login
before? Should I be giving the traditional welcome to Terry?)
#379 of 680 by snowth on Wed Dec 10 22:52:08 1997:
Isn't there a trademark on that?
#380 of 680 by lilmo on Fri Dec 12 04:39:16 1997:
A trademark on what?
#381 of 680 by snowth on Fri Dec 12 21:33:20 1997:
What do you think? Don't you think that if I had any clue what I was talking
about, I would specify?
#382 of 680 by orinoco on Fri Dec 12 23:23:55 1997:
Do you mean to say you've never heard the sacred incantation, 'it gets easier
(tm)' ?
#383 of 680 by snowth on Sun Dec 14 05:00:31 1997:
Isn't that what I just said?
#384 of 680 by orinoco on Sun Dec 14 18:39:14 1997:
Do you realize how impeccable your timing was with that last response?
#385 of 680 by snowth on Tue Dec 16 04:06:52 1997:
Isn't that just futher proof that I'm secretly breaking out?
#386 of 680 by lilmo on Wed Dec 17 02:13:39 1997:
breaking out of what?
#387 of 680 by orinoco on Wed Dec 17 23:30:32 1997:
Prison, perhaps?
#388 of 680 by snowth on Sun Dec 21 08:38:58 1997:
What do you think I could be implying by that statement? Wouldn't that explain
all my recent headaches?
#389 of 680 by orinoco on Mon Dec 22 17:44:37 1997:
Do you realize that most people wouldn't catch that reference? Could it be
that not all of us are as obsessive as you?
#390 of 680 by snowth on Tue Dec 23 03:14:01 1997:
Didn't you get it though? Don't you think it's likely that I'm actually
looking for others like myself who *understand* the obsessiveness? Who says
they can't be lurking here *right now* waiting for another one to show her
face?
#391 of 680 by orinoco on Wed Dec 24 18:17:37 1997:
Do you really think that's very likely?
#392 of 680 by snowth on Thu Dec 25 01:01:18 1997:
Isn't it worth a shot?
#393 of 680 by orinoco on Thu Dec 25 03:38:53 1997:
Are you implying that violence is the answer?
#394 of 680 by snowth on Thu Dec 25 06:52:11 1997:
Doesn't violence include killing someone? Do you think this is a bad thing?
#395 of 680 by lilmo on Sat Dec 27 21:46:03 1997:
Why would violence include killing? Is it not violent to just hit someone?
#396 of 680 by orinoco on Sun Dec 28 03:18:26 1997:
Does that mean hitting people is a good thing?
#397 of 680 by snowth on Sun Dec 28 11:56:24 1997:
Why is hitting people normally considered a bad thing and hitting *on* people
a varied thing?
#398 of 680 by orinoco on Mon Dec 29 16:57:56 1997:
Does that imply that beating around the bush is a form of vegephilia?
#399 of 680 by bikeman on Tue Dec 30 07:24:15 1997:
May I ask what kind of bush you are beating around?
How many of you have a vulgar mind like me and would take that last question
as a vuglar question? (:P
#400 of 680 by carson on Tue Dec 30 22:44:45 1997:
(what kind of question is THAT?)
#401 of 680 by snowth on Wed Dec 31 02:49:06 1997:
Would it be innapropriate to answer that? Wouldn't some parents get upset by
the vulgarity of the minds of this item?
#402 of 680 by orinoco on Wed Dec 31 02:57:54 1997:
Does this item have it's own mind?
#403 of 680 by snowth on Wed Dec 31 03:47:25 1997:
Isn't it obvious from my response, that it not only hs *one* mind, but
several?
#404 of 680 by orinoco on Wed Dec 31 16:50:34 1997:
Would that make it a symbiotic entity?
#405 of 680 by carson on Wed Dec 31 21:09:04 1997:
(wouldn't it be a parasitic entity?)
#406 of 680 by snowth on Thu Jan 1 08:29:11 1998:
Isn't this discussion getting just a tad bit too geeky for it's own good?
#407 of 680 by orinoco on Fri Jan 2 15:51:10 1998:
Are you accusing me of being geeky again?
#408 of 680 by lilmo on Sat Jan 3 19:58:28 1998:
Who let in the Trill?.
#409 of 680 by bikeman on Sun Jan 4 06:59:06 1998:
Isn't a trill when you quickly move between 2 notes on an instrument?
#410 of 680 by snowth on Sun Jan 4 11:50:58 1998:
Do we care?
#411 of 680 by orinoco on Mon Jan 5 03:18:50 1998:
How can you not care about trills?
#412 of 680 by lilmo on Mon Jan 5 20:37:04 1998:
Is no one else here a Star Trek fan?
#413 of 680 by bikeman on Mon Jan 5 21:02:56 1998:
Would you hate me if I said I didn't?
#414 of 680 by carson on Tue Jan 6 18:22:21 1998:
(do you think that I wouldn't make you suffer at the hands [so to speak]
of the terrible Tribbles?)
#415 of 680 by snowth on Tue Jan 6 19:53:04 1998:
what hands?
#416 of 680 by diznave on Tue Jan 6 23:40:05 1998:
Can you believe that in between semesters, they close the computer labs? So,
Dan, they're not still picking on you, are they? Sean, do you play any
instruments?
#417 of 680 by orinoco on Fri Jan 9 00:27:27 1998:
(Can you belive this guy? Actually trying to have a coherent conversation,
is he? Isn't it shocking?!)
#418 of 680 by carson on Sat Jan 10 01:13:09 1998:
(can you believe this guy, swiping my parentheses?)
#419 of 680 by bikeman on Sun Jan 11 02:11:47 1998:
Is it even possible to have a conversation in ANY of these confrences?
#420 of 680 by orinoco on Sun Jan 11 02:36:24 1998:
How dare you accuse me of swiping 'your' parentheses? Just because you use
parentheses for everything, does that mean the rest of us cannot make the
occasional honest parenthetical remark?
#421 of 680 by bikeman on Mon Jan 12 02:32:50 1998:
Can't we all just get along?
#422 of 680 by carson on Mon Jan 12 19:09:10 1998:
(what should I use for a parenthetical remark?)
#423 of 680 by lilmo on Tue Jan 13 01:46:15 1998:
Shouldn't you use parentheses?
#424 of 680 by orinoco on Tue Jan 13 03:28:30 1998:
Would double parentheses ((like these)) perhaps be in order?
#425 of 680 by carson on Wed Jan 14 01:39:06 1998:
[can I give up now? please?]
#426 of 680 by lilmo on Thu Jan 15 22:17:06 1998:
Should we let him?
#427 of 680 by carson on Fri Jan 16 00:14:30 1998:
(do you mean blood let?)
#428 of 680 by bikeman on Fri Jan 16 22:21:18 1998:
Uuuhhh...What was the question?
#429 of 680 by snowth on Sat Jan 17 03:04:24 1998:
Did somebody ask a question?
#430 of 680 by bikeman on Sat Jan 17 05:04:17 1998:
What's my name?
#431 of 680 by orinoco on Sat Jan 17 20:54:25 1998:
"Excuse me, but can you tell me where I am?"
"Excuse me, but can you tell me _who_ I am?"
#432 of 680 by snowth on Wed Jan 21 03:51:55 1998:
Who are you?
#433 of 680 by orinoco on Thu Jan 22 05:53:01 1998:
Who aren't you?
#434 of 680 by atticus on Thu Jan 22 13:44:38 1998:
If I am not what I think I am, will I turn to be something which I don't
think I'll turn out to be?
#435 of 680 by lilmo on Thu Jan 22 21:48:46 1998:
Would it matter if you did?
#436 of 680 by orinoco on Sat Jan 24 04:12:22 1998:
Would anyone else notice?
#437 of 680 by carson on Tue Jan 27 00:11:36 1998:
(is that a trick question?)
#438 of 680 by orinoco on Wed Jan 28 03:37:03 1998:
Do you think I would try to trick you?
#439 of 680 by bikeman on Wed Jan 28 03:43:49 1998:
Could you define "Trick"?
#440 of 680 by bopkins on Thu Jan 29 19:54:17 1998:
And if he can't define it?
#441 of 680 by carson on Thu Jan 29 21:05:17 1998:
(who would want to?)
#442 of 680 by snowth on Fri Jan 30 04:04:00 1998:
does it really matter? Don't you think that this whole discussion is just a
bit pointless?
#443 of 680 by bikeman on Mon Feb 2 02:29:37 1998:
Is there really a point to anything in life?
#444 of 680 by lilmo on Tue Feb 3 22:06:18 1998:
Why do you ask? Do you think that life is pointless? Would life be worth
living if it were not? Would it not be better for life to have meaning, and
for us to devote our lives to fulfilling it?
#445 of 680 by bikeman on Fri Feb 6 00:27:31 1998:
Don't you think the atcual meaning of life is finding out wath the meaning
of life is?
#446 of 680 by orinoco on Sat Feb 7 03:23:08 1998:
Don't you think the actual meaning of life is finding out what 'wath' means?
#447 of 680 by bikeman on Sat Feb 7 07:29:02 1998:
Do you enjoy being a smart-ass? Did you know I'm an extremely annoying
smart-ass?
#448 of 680 by orinoco on Mon Feb 9 03:43:43 1998:
How could it have escaped my notice?
#449 of 680 by snowth on Thu Feb 12 03:12:08 1998:
Does that mean you're especially observant?
#450 of 680 by orinoco on Mon Feb 16 03:01:26 1998:
Are you calling _me_ observant?
#451 of 680 by carson on Tue Feb 17 19:13:25 1998:
(can I refuse to answer that question?)
#452 of 680 by snowth on Tue Feb 17 19:51:12 1998:
If you don't, will you feel guilty about it later?
#453 of 680 by carson on Wed Feb 18 01:38:40 1998:
(is refusal to answer something I should feel guilty over?)
#454 of 680 by bopkins on Thu Feb 19 19:37:58 1998:
houldn't you feel guilty for just having thought about refusing?
#455 of 680 by orinoco on Mon Feb 23 03:11:25 1998:
Wouldn't it be too late for both of them, then?
#456 of 680 by bopkins on Thu Feb 26 20:19:13 1998:
Doesn't that seem to be the case? Should we feel guilty for their guiltiness?
#457 of 680 by carson on Sat Feb 28 00:22:37 1998:
(can we plead nolo contendre?)
#458 of 680 by orinoco on Wed Mar 4 03:55:02 1998:
What the heck's a 'nolo'?
#459 of 680 by carson on Wed Mar 4 21:22:19 1998:
(you don't know what a 'nolo' is? what are they teaching you at that
school, anyway?)
#460 of 680 by snowth on Sat Mar 7 02:03:10 1998:
Who said they taught us anything? What would ever lead you to a conclusion
like that?
#461 of 680 by gibson on Sun Mar 8 04:36:17 1998:
Do any of you wonder why this conference has lasted this long?
#462 of 680 by orinoco on Sun Mar 8 04:37:04 1998:
Has a day gone by when I haven't wondered just that?
#463 of 680 by snowth on Sun Mar 8 14:49:54 1998:
Isn't it nice to know that it has, though?
#464 of 680 by carson on Mon Mar 9 04:11:28 1998:
(isn't that special?)
#465 of 680 by orinoco on Wed Mar 11 03:55:52 1998:
Who are you to judge that?
#466 of 680 by gibson on Wed Mar 11 06:02:02 1998:
Judge not lest ye be judged! (off soapbox now)
#467 of 680 by orinoco on Wed Mar 11 20:50:47 1998:
<statement!>
#468 of 680 by bopkins on Thu Mar 12 03:44:01 1998:
Why is it that I never seem to be able to read the last response on this
thing? (Should I feel bad that this question doesn't apply to the topics? And
what, pray tell, is the topic?)
#469 of 680 by gibson on Thu Mar 12 21:58:32 1998:
It's "the topics of Capricorn".
#470 of 680 by carson on Fri Mar 13 00:43:57 1998:
(IS THAT A STATEMENT I SEE?)
#471 of 680 by orinoco on Fri Mar 13 04:08:40 1998:
Is it? Have you had your vision checked lately? Have you recently ingested
any hallucinogenic substances? Is your toaster oven on?
#472 of 680 by bopkins on Mon Mar 16 06:30:29 1998:
Do you think his toaster oven is short a few pop tarts?
#473 of 680 by carson on Mon Mar 16 21:15:00 1998:
(shouldn't Pop Tarts[tm] be capitalized and trademark duly noted?)
#474 of 680 by gibson on Tue Mar 17 02:28:52 1998:
Maybe they were generic.
#475 of 680 by snowth on Tue Mar 17 04:05:22 1998:
Is it just me, or do the additions of statements sort of ruin the whole
atmosphere of this item?
#476 of 680 by orinoco on Tue Mar 17 04:11:14 1998:
Perhaps it should be pointed out to the newcomer that the point of this item
is to carry on a conversation entirely in questions?
Has anyone checked the toaster oven yet?
#477 of 680 by bopkins on Tue Mar 17 18:47:08 1998:
Is it even plugged in?
#478 of 680 by carson on Tue Mar 17 23:40:12 1998:
(is the toaster solar powered?)
#479 of 680 by gibson on Wed Mar 18 05:32:43 1998:
Did i forget?
#480 of 680 by bikeman on Thu Mar 19 19:36:27 1998:
Did anyone NOT notice that you forgot, gibson?
Does the toaster double as a convensional oven?
#481 of 680 by gibson on Fri Mar 20 02:09:21 1998:
Should i hide under the oven?
#482 of 680 by snowth on Fri Mar 20 02:36:43 1998:
Can somebody tell me if I should cook tonight?
#483 of 680 by gibson on Fri Mar 20 05:01:42 1998:
Would food be feasible?
#484 of 680 by carson on Fri Mar 20 18:22:06 1998:
(where did this item come from?!)
#485 of 680 by snowth on Sat Mar 21 03:36:32 1998:
Wouldn't it be safe to say it just is? Do we really need to question it's
origins?
#486 of 680 by gibson on Mon Mar 23 06:48:31 1998:
Where does anything come from?
#487 of 680 by bikeman on Mon Mar 23 23:21:07 1998:
Does anyone else hate the Titantic song?
#488 of 680 by gibson on Tue Mar 24 02:59:55 1998:
Has anybody besides me NOT seen Titanic?
#489 of 680 by carson on Tue Mar 24 21:22:56 1998:
(can I answer that?)
#490 of 680 by snowth on Tue Mar 24 22:13:59 1998:
Do you *want* to answer that?
#491 of 680 by bikeman on Wed Mar 25 02:06:35 1998:
Would you love me if I said I haven't seen it?
#492 of 680 by gibson on Wed Mar 25 22:52:28 1998:
Would I love you if you did?
#493 of 680 by bikeman on Wed Mar 25 23:55:09 1998:
Does anybody love me?
#494 of 680 by gibson on Fri Mar 27 06:37:31 1998:
Are you sure that you are you?
#495 of 680 by carson on Fri Mar 27 20:47:04 1998:
(why would I want to be anyone else?)
#496 of 680 by bikeman on Sat Mar 28 02:12:49 1998:
Well, if you are me, then who am I?
#497 of 680 by carson on Mon Mar 30 07:18:11 1998:
who *are* you?
#498 of 680 by snowth on Tue Mar 31 04:16:31 1998:
(Is it okay to interupt this train of thought?)
Is it just me, or is it really obnoxious when you log onto grex to talk to
them, and in the time it takes to get through the que they've left?
#499 of 680 by gibson on Tue Mar 31 04:42:23 1998:
Does that really bother you ?
#500 of 680 by carson on Tue Mar 31 23:05:23 1998:
(why would you want to talk to me?)
#501 of 680 by bikeman on Tue Mar 31 23:19:25 1998:
Who is "them"?
#502 of 680 by bopkins on Wed Apr 1 15:09:23 1998:
Do you mean you're not one of them?
#503 of 680 by gibson on Thu Apr 2 04:02:00 1998:
Are we missing out on something ?
#504 of 680 by snowth on Sat Apr 4 02:35:11 1998:
Can't you tell me if you don't understand something? how am I teo help you
understand if I don't know what you don't understand?
#505 of 680 by orinoco on Sat Apr 4 03:29:29 1998:
DId _you_ understand what you just said?
#506 of 680 by snowth on Sat Apr 4 14:12:41 1998:
Do I have to understand to say something?
#507 of 680 by bopkins on Sat Apr 4 21:48:24 1998:
Do you think you have to understand something in order to say it?
#508 of 680 by orinoco on Mon Apr 6 21:08:42 1998:
Are you implying that I might know what I'm talking about?
#509 of 680 by carson on Tue Apr 7 19:52:06 1998:
(why would I say something so horrible as that?)
#510 of 680 by lilmo on Thu Apr 9 21:24:00 1998:
Would it be taken amiss if I were to refer to an earlier topic?
Wouldn't entering "only 0" tell someone about the origins of this item?
#511 of 680 by snowth on Fri Apr 10 02:11:03 1998:
Wouldn't that just make too much sense, though?
Is someone trying to make sense in this mythical conference of delusion?
Isn't that just a tad rude of them?
Or am I perhaps the only one who feels this way?
#512 of 680 by bopkins on Fri Apr 10 15:18:39 1998:
Feel what way?
#513 of 680 by bikeman on Fri Apr 10 16:13:51 1998:
Who are you feeling?
BTW...Did anybody miss me?
#514 of 680 by gibson on Sat Apr 11 01:47:56 1998:
Who are you?
#515 of 680 by snowth on Sat Apr 11 02:30:27 1998:
If I had missed you do y9ou think I would mention it in an item?
Wouldn't you just assume that we were all happy to see you login again?
#516 of 680 by bikeman on Sat Apr 11 20:00:34 1998:
Don't I always assume that I'm never welcome here?
#517 of 680 by snowth on Mon Apr 13 13:42:45 1998:
Why would you assume something as sillly as that?
#518 of 680 by carson on Mon Apr 13 18:12:00 1998:
(who spilled the beans?)
#519 of 680 by orinoco on Tue Apr 14 01:55:55 1998:
More importantly, who's going to clean them up again?
#520 of 680 by snowth on Wed Apr 15 01:33:48 1998:
Why don't we just trash the beans and eat pie instead?
#521 of 680 by bikeman on Wed Apr 15 01:44:06 1998:
Did you know I don't like pie?
#522 of 680 by snowth on Mon Apr 20 00:43:46 1998:
If I knew that do you think I would be so cruel as to suggest that we eat that
instead of beans?
Don't you think I would be kind enough to take your feelings in such a
situation into account?
#523 of 680 by orinoco on Tue Apr 21 02:51:55 1998:
Would it be impolite for me to suggest otherwise?
#524 of 680 by snowth on Wed Apr 22 02:32:04 1998:
Wouldn't you think so?
#525 of 680 by carson on Wed Apr 22 21:43:09 1998:
(why would I bother with such a mundane task as thought?)
#526 of 680 by gibson on Tue Apr 28 04:36:17 1998:
What makes you think it's a bother?
#527 of 680 by phire on Wed Apr 29 22:37:13 1998:
hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm
wow.
#528 of 680 by phire on Wed Apr 29 22:45:13 1998:
yep
#529 of 680 by orinoco on Thu Apr 30 02:42:35 1998:
What am I supposed to interpret that as meaning?
#530 of 680 by snowth on Fri May 22 02:47:19 1998:
Who said there was *any* meaning to it?
#531 of 680 by lilmo on Sat May 23 20:57:26 1998:
Any meaning to what?
#532 of 680 by snowth on Mon May 25 03:14:35 1998:
Why question it?
#533 of 680 by lilmo on Tue May 26 22:00:07 1998:
Is this item in Agora?
#534 of 680 by snowth on Thu May 28 03:24:55 1998:
Do you think it would be a good thing if it were?
#535 of 680 by lilmo on Thu May 28 21:10:20 1998:
If it were, and had not bneen linked to the new one, would that explain the
sudden drop-off in the number of posts?
#536 of 680 by snowth on Fri May 29 02:42:48 1998:
or could it just be that people are lazy? Like, say.... orinoco?
#537 of 680 by starwolf on Fri May 29 17:31:36 1998:
May I say, Hi!? Is this not an interesting concept?
Why am i babbling like a complete buffoon?
#538 of 680 by snowth on Fri May 29 23:29:05 1998:
Do you really need an answer to that? Why don't you just look deep into your
soul? Don't you think that would be a better way to go about things?
#539 of 680 by orinoco on Tue Jun 2 02:33:59 1998:
Are you calling me lazy?
#540 of 680 by carson on Tue Jun 2 23:28:11 1998:
(didn't you graduate? isn't it now your civic duty to be lazy?)
#541 of 680 by orinoco on Thu Jun 4 01:19:38 1998:
are you accusing me of having been a senior?
#542 of 680 by snowth on Thu Jun 4 01:22:59 1998:
Don't you tink that would just be sort of wrong?
#543 of 680 by starwolf on Mon Jun 8 20:12:47 1998:
Has it actually been over 5 years since I was last a senior? And how many
of my former classmates can say they have lived in Germany? ;}
#544 of 680 by snowth on Tue Jun 9 00:55:52 1998:
Would you be suprized to hear I am neither your formoer classmate, nor have
ever been to Germany?
#545 of 680 by carson on Thu Jun 11 19:34:01 1998:
(does it amaze you that snowth and I have these two things in
common, and nothing else?)
#546 of 680 by orinoco on Fri Jun 12 02:18:02 1998:
are you really sure you have _nothing_ else in common?
#547 of 680 by lilmo on Thu Aug 20 21:11:17 1998:
Has NO ONE had anything to ask in the last two months????
#548 of 680 by orinoco on Sat Aug 22 02:17:03 1998:
Has it really been that long?
#549 of 680 by lilmo on Mon Aug 24 23:10:48 1998:
How long is it from 11 Jun to 20 Aug ??
#550 of 680 by orinoco on Tue Aug 25 03:25:47 1998:
Can't you count?
#551 of 680 by lilmo on Thu Aug 27 21:18:11 1998:
Would I have already given the answer if I could not? Is this item in the
current Agora?
#552 of 680 by bikeman on Fri Aug 28 06:10:45 1998:
What's an Agora? Did anyone miss my non-presence in the past couple monthes?
Does anybody remember me?
#553 of 680 by lilmo on Sat Aug 29 16:51:21 1998:
Who are you? :-)
#554 of 680 by snowth on Sun Aug 30 04:32:28 1998:
How could I have missed your presence if I was not around to be found either?
#555 of 680 by desi on Sun Aug 30 18:45:01 1998:
Does replying all in questions prevent us from getting our points across? I
have to read all the posts to understand? Or not?
#556 of 680 by lilmo on Mon Aug 31 22:47:50 1998:
What is there to understand that is not found in response 0? Would that not
make everything clear to you?
#557 of 680 by bikeman on Tue Sep 1 05:22:12 1998:
Would it be reasonable to think that the people that respnd in this item are
on crack? I mean, Who in this world DOESN'T do crack on a regular basis?!?!
Have I said too much?
#558 of 680 by orinoco on Wed Sep 2 21:23:32 1998:
Where do _you_ get your crack?
#559 of 680 by lilmo on Fri Sep 4 16:36:43 1998:
Do we really need to talk about crack?
#560 of 680 by bikeman on Sat Sep 5 23:51:34 1998:
Do you REALLY want to know where I get my crack from? Don't we ALWAYS have
to talk about crack?
#561 of 680 by lilmo on Mon Sep 7 19:42:23 1998:
What if I _didn't_ want to hear about your crack?
#562 of 680 by orinoco on Tue Sep 15 02:11:32 1998:
Do you know what I'm going to do if I hear another crack from either of you?
#563 of 680 by lilmo on Tue Sep 15 23:46:39 1998:
Crack our skulls?
#564 of 680 by orinoco on Tue Sep 22 21:08:58 1998:
Mightn't that be a tad excessive?
#565 of 680 by g0k on Fri Sep 25 19:35:57 1998:
Would i be a spoil-sport if i just said "Restart" all by itself?
#566 of 680 by lilmo on Mon Sep 28 23:52:06 1998:
Would that be a question? Is anyone attempting to score this?
#567 of 680 by bikeman on Thu Oct 1 04:27:38 1998:
What exactally are we going to "score"? Are yopu saying something when you
want to "score"? (:P
#568 of 680 by lilmo on Wed Oct 7 02:37:00 1998:
Have you read resp:0 ??
#569 of 680 by orinoco on Fri Oct 16 00:24:41 1998:
Wasn't that quite some time ago?
#570 of 680 by lilmo on Fri Oct 16 03:10:20 1998:
Wouldn't you have read at least that one before even participating?
#571 of 680 by rywfol on Sat Oct 17 09:11:29 1998:
Would anybody object if I rejoined this conversation after 562
responses?
#572 of 680 by lilmo on Tue Oct 20 15:31:19 1998:
Why should we? And why would youwait so long?
#573 of 680 by rywfol on Tue Oct 20 17:44:09 1998:
Did you not know that I had lost internet access for the last 2 years
or so?
#574 of 680 by orinoco on Fri Oct 23 02:17:15 1998:
How did you ever survive?
#575 of 680 by rywfol on Fri Oct 23 16:09:56 1998:
Do you really think I did?
#576 of 680 by orinoco on Sat Oct 24 03:39:10 1998:
Are you dead?
("Are you deaf?"
"Am I dead?!")
#577 of 680 by rywfol on Sat Oct 24 13:05:06 1998:
Could I be typing this if I were?
Would you reply to me if I were?
Would my death instill others with a sense of excitement enough to join
in this sombre conversation?
#578 of 680 by orinoco on Wed Oct 28 01:36:18 1998:
Are you calling our conversation 'sombre'?
Why does 'sombre' look like it should be related to 'sombrero'?
#579 of 680 by rywfol on Wed Oct 28 21:40:06 1998:
Is it possibly because Sombrero and Sombre are brothers?
Are they a double act?
#580 of 680 by snowth on Sat Oct 31 08:09:04 1998:
"Oh, but mommy, if we act _doubley_ well, will you buy us MORE candy?"
#581 of 680 by rywfol on Sat Oct 31 22:35:18 1998:
How can I buy you more candy if I've never bought you candy before?
Would you like me to buy you some candy for the first time?
#582 of 680 by snowth on Sun Nov 1 04:49:12 1998:
How would you go about giving me candy if you bought it for me?
#583 of 680 by rywfol on Sun Nov 1 06:09:29 1998:
Wouldn't that imply knowing where you were?
#584 of 680 by lilmo on Mon Nov 2 03:05:18 1998:
What made anyone think that this "mommy" character could be found here?
#585 of 680 by rywfol on Mon Nov 2 03:36:38 1998:
Why, has she been lost?
Wouldn't it be considered careless to lose "mommy", or merely
unfortunate?
#586 of 680 by orinoco on Mon Nov 2 12:44:04 1998:
"Are you my mother?"
(and haven't you read Alice in Wonderland, rywfol? Don't you realize you can
always have more, even if it's just more than nothing?)
#587 of 680 by rywfol on Mon Nov 2 23:24:20 1998:
But don't you realise that when I use a word, I mean it to mean what I
mean, nothing more?
#588 of 680 by orinoco on Tue Nov 3 22:56:28 1998:
Ah, so ytou _have_ read it then?
#589 of 680 by rywfol on Wed Nov 4 02:40:56 1998:
Would I badly misquote from it if I hadn't?
Isn't it quiet here?
#590 of 680 by orinoco on Thu Nov 5 02:06:52 1998:
Don't you hear me screaming?
#591 of 680 by rywfol on Thu Nov 5 05:28:40 1998:
Didn't you know that in the internet no-one can hear you scream?
#592 of 680 by gypsi on Thu Jan 28 11:44:49 1999:
Why are you referencing silly movies from the eighties?
#593 of 680 by lilmo on Sat Feb 6 18:01:55 1999:
Would it be better to reference silly movies from the 70's?
#594 of 680 by coloursa on Sun Mar 28 21:21:01 1999:
Is "That Seventies Show" silly too?
#595 of 680 by lilmo on Tue Apr 13 01:48:44 1999:
Why would I watch it?
#596 of 680 by snowth on Fri May 14 23:59:37 1999:
If I did watch it, do you think I'd admit it?
#597 of 680 by lilmo on Wed May 19 21:35:22 1999:
What are we talking about? Why has it been so long since someone contributed
to this conversation? Does this really count as conversation?
#598 of 680 by snowth on Sat May 22 00:57:38 1999:
Is conversation really necessary to communicate? Or are you just trying to
make our lives even more complicated?
#599 of 680 by lilmo on Wed Jun 2 00:32:51 1999:
Did I say something about communication?
#600 of 680 by hhsrat on Tue Jun 8 01:53:21 1999:
What is communication? Does Communication imply the use of an R2 Droid?
Where would I be able to find Y2K compatibility information about an R2
Droid?
#601 of 680 by carson on Sat Jun 12 02:38:09 1999:
(don't you think that I get sick of answering those questions?)
#602 of 680 by lilmo on Sat Jun 12 19:22:03 1999:
Do you answer them? Isn't that against the rules?
#603 of 680 by snowth on Tue Aug 17 18:45:11 1999:
This place has rules?
#604 of 680 by lilmo on Sat Sep 11 00:01:41 1999:
Doesn't #0 have the rules? Where is everyone?
#605 of 680 by snowth on Sat Sep 25 00:28:47 1999:
Isn't everyone exactly where they were before?
Or have they moved?
#606 of 680 by lilmo on Sat Sep 25 02:58:36 1999:
Wasn't there a time when many, MANY more ppl than you and I participated?
#607 of 680 by gypsi on Sat Oct 2 11:52:42 1999:
Where did they go?
#608 of 680 by lilmo on Mon Oct 4 17:31:35 1999:
Isn't that repeating a question?
#609 of 680 by snowth on Sat Oct 9 22:49:12 1999:
If nobody's here to notice, does it matter?
#610 of 680 by lilmo on Tue Oct 12 23:06:39 1999:
If it doesn't matter to those who don't see, does that mean that it doesn't
matter to you?
#611 of 680 by snowth on Thu Oct 14 02:10:13 1999:
If it _really_ mattered to me, don't you think I would encourage other people
to question here?
#612 of 680 by lilmo on Fri Oct 15 20:03:05 1999:
Do you think it should matter to me?

Shouldn't everything you're involved with matter to you?
#614 of 680 by hhsrat on Sun Oct 17 03:24:53 1999:
NO!
#615 of 680 by snowth on Sun Oct 17 04:03:36 1999:
Isn't there a rule about statements like that?
#616 of 680 by lilmo on Tue Oct 19 01:51:31 1999:
Wouldn't hhsrat know that "NO!" isn't allowed in this item if he had read
response #0? Wouldn't it be logical to conclude that he should have
"forgotten" this item if he did not wish to participate?
#617 of 680 by hhsrat on Fri Oct 22 02:01:25 1999:
Don't you hate it when the fingers hit the "post" button before the
brain is ready? Why can't you understand that I didn't mean to post a
statement?
#618 of 680 by lilmo on Tue Oct 26 18:12:17 1999:
Is there a "post" button? Isn't there an "expurgate" command? Do you use
Backtalk?
#619 of 680 by hhsrat on Fri Oct 29 00:23:01 1999:
Would you believe that backtalk does not have easy access to the
"expurgate" command?
#620 of 680 by lilmo on Sat Oct 30 02:01:27 1999:
Would it matter if I believed? Would you not be obligated in either case?
Would you ask for forgiveness?
#621 of 680 by hhsrat on Thu Nov 4 02:55:42 1999:
Why would I not ask for forgiveness?
#622 of 680 by lilmo on Fri Nov 5 22:19:22 1999:
Is it not true that I do not know you well enuf to know if you are too
arrogant to do so? Am I not glad to see that you are not? Do I not welcome
you here?
#623 of 680 by orinoco on Tue Nov 23 04:35:31 1999:
Had I just repressed all memory of having entered this item, or what?
#624 of 680 by carson on Sat Nov 27 11:30:42 1999:
(are you the one who entered this item?)
#625 of 680 by lilmo on Thu Dec 2 20:53:49 1999:
is that not obvious from the item header?
#626 of 680 by snowth on Tue Aug 29 14:44:38 2000:
Don't you think that it's sort of sad that no one has asked any questions
since last year?
#627 of 680 by rcurl on Tue Aug 29 15:56:18 2000:
Why would you think it is sad?
#628 of 680 by jakrabit on Tue Aug 29 16:07:09 2000:
do you think maybe they had all the answers for the time being, and did need
to ask any questions?
#629 of 680 by rcurl on Tue Aug 29 17:36:02 2000:
Did you mean to write "...and didn't need..."?
#630 of 680 by jakrabit on Tue Aug 29 20:21:26 2000:
you would think i would know how to proof my own work, wouldn't you?
#631 of 680 by dcat on Thu Jun 19 00:38:42 2003:
*I* would think so, but do you? And do I really want to resurrect this
apparently-dead item?
#632 of 680 by kip on Thu Jun 19 03:02:28 2003:
And will the rest of Grex come back here to continue the play?
#633 of 680 by dcat on Thu Jun 19 14:12:15 2003:
Or does anyone really care anymore? (Or has this already been asked?)
#634 of 680 by cyberpnk on Thu Jun 19 16:35:24 2003:
Why do you care if anyone really cares?
#635 of 680 by dcat on Thu Jun 19 17:20:14 2003:
Well, isn't it kinda pointless to keep this going if nobody cares anymore?
#636 of 680 by cyberpnk on Thu Jun 19 20:19:48 2003:
Isn't that the point?
#637 of 680 by dcat on Thu Jun 19 23:20:05 2003:
Is there a point?
#638 of 680 by cyberpnk on Fri Jun 20 15:48:42 2003:
Wht worry about it?
#639 of 680 by dcat on Fri Jun 20 16:08:12 2003:
Who says I was worried? Can't I just idly ask a question?
#640 of 680 by cyberpnk on Fri Jun 20 18:24:27 2003:
Don't all the idle questions just lie around until someone sweeps them
up?
#641 of 680 by carson on Fri Jun 20 20:32:09 2003:
(who's going to sweep them up?)
#642 of 680 by kip on Fri Jun 20 20:43:53 2003:
Would it be alright if I swept them up?
#643 of 680 by cyberpnk on Fri Jun 20 22:18:34 2003:
Why do you want to sweep them up?
#644 of 680 by dcat on Sat Jun 21 19:08:56 2003:
What's wrong with a bunch of idle questions lying round? Why do they need
to be swept up?
#645 of 680 by cyberpnk on Sat Jun 21 21:31:59 2003:
Won't people trip over them?
#646 of 680 by dcat on Sun Jun 22 03:32:40 2003:
How is it my problem (or anyone else's) if they can't watch where they're
going?
#647 of 680 by cyberpnk on Mon Jun 23 15:49:12 2003:
Shouldn't they expect a reasonably clear path to walk on?
#648 of 680 by dcat on Mon Jun 23 22:30:04 2003:
Can't they clear their own damn path?
#649 of 680 by cyberpnk on Tue Jun 24 18:59:17 2003:
Why should they??
#650 of 680 by dcat on Tue Jun 24 20:05:02 2003:
Why should I? Why can't they just pay more attention?
#651 of 680 by cyberpnk on Tue Jun 24 22:11:59 2003:
Why do they have to??
#652 of 680 by kip on Tue Jun 24 22:21:47 2003:
Weren't we told that this game would require careful attention to detail?
#653 of 680 by cyberpnk on Wed Jun 25 17:26:16 2003:
isn't that just being picky??
#654 of 680 by dcat on Wed Jun 25 17:51:09 2003:
What's wrong with being picky?
#655 of 680 by cyberpnk on Wed Jun 25 20:37:40 2003:
why are you being picky//
??
#656 of 680 by dcat on Thu Jun 26 05:24:41 2003:
*Am* I being picky?
#657 of 680 by cyberpnk on Thu Jun 26 19:09:32 2003:
Why are we worried about being picky??
#658 of 680 by dcat on Thu Jun 26 19:23:25 2003:
If you're not worried about it, why did you ask if we were being picky?
#659 of 680 by cyberpnk on Thu Jun 26 22:04:57 2003:
How did we get started on this, anyway??
#660 of 680 by dcat on Thu Jun 26 23:20:07 2003:
Don't you know how to read past responses to the item?
#661 of 680 by cyberpnk on Fri Jun 27 19:02:57 2003:
Why should I read them??
#662 of 680 by dcat on Fri Jun 27 20:27:46 2003:
Didn't you ask, "How did we get started on this"? Shouldn't you be able to
find your answer in the past responses?
#663 of 680 by cyberpnk on Fri Jun 27 21:25:21 2003:
Shouldn't i already know??
#664 of 680 by dcat on Fri Jun 27 23:44:41 2003:
*I* think so, but the real question is, *do* you? Huh? Do you, *punk*?
#665 of 680 by cmcgee on Sat Jun 28 00:41:04 2003:
Who are you calling punk?
#666 of 680 by dcat on Sat Jun 28 02:30:59 2003:
Who are *you* calling, punk?
#667 of 680 by cyberpnk on Sat Jun 28 14:30:24 2003:
Do you feel lucky, punk??
#668 of 680 by dcat on Sat Jun 28 17:39:46 2003:
Well? Do you?
#669 of 680 by cyberpnk on Sat Jun 28 21:08:25 2003:
What's that over there?
#670 of 680 by dcat on Sat Jun 28 22:30:11 2003:
I don't know, why don't you go take a look?
#671 of 680 by cyberpnk on Tue Jul 1 16:37:05 2003:
Didn't you have a pair of binoculars??
#672 of 680 by dcat on Tue Jul 1 17:52:03 2003:
Yes, would you like to borrow them?
#673 of 680 by cyberpnk on Tue Jul 1 21:05:08 2003:
May I??
#674 of 680 by dcat on Tue Jul 1 21:31:43 2003:
Do you know your .plan says you don't want to give your phone number, but your
finger information has it anyway?
#675 of 680 by carson on Thu Jul 3 04:02:41 2003:
(what?)
#676 of 680 by dcat on Thu Jul 3 14:59:51 2003:
Have you '!f cyberpnk'd recently?
#677 of 680 by jhudson on Tue Sep 2 17:14:26 2003:
Are we having fun yet?
#678 of 680 by cyberpnk on Tue Sep 2 18:22:12 2003:
How can you tell?
#679 of 680 by dcat on Fri Nov 28 04:32:44 2003:
Isn't it pretty obvious, if you actually try?
#680 of 680 by goodyboy on Fri Apr 23 23:56:10 2004:
