Game - Ask a Stupid Question?

[Opheilia]

Ok, I thought I would start a game.

In this game, you can only respond in the form of a question.

You must try and answer, or keep within the theme of the conversation of the previous post.

No obvious diversions are allowed.

Beware you don't answer with a statement first, then add a question onto the end of it. That is not allowed.

I hope I have explained this clearly.

I'll begin.

Are the instructions clear enough?

[Little Miss Edi]

Do these instruction refer to the automated reindeer pancake maker or the inflatable sheep cocktail maker?

[Opheilia]

Which one do you need instructions for?

[Rei]

Which one seems more confusing to you?

[Little Miss Edi]

Does it have to be confusing to have instruction or should they be provide for the sake of burning curiousity?

[Rei]

Does it matter why?

[Little Miss Edi]

If there's no reason to ask why can you honestly say that there's a reason for wearing a T-shirt with a superhero on it?


*Ha! I like this game :p

[Opheilia]

Do you realise you have confused the hell out of me already?

[Leaka]

Why are you confused, don't you know I should be confused?

[Little Miss Edi]

Perhaps this thread is a breeding ground for confusion?

[Banzai]

Maybe this thread belongs in word games? ;)

*Moved*

[Rei]

Is there anything else it could be a breeding ground for, such as the Ebola Virus?

[Leaka]

Maybe Banzia is right?

[Rei]

Is Banzai ever wrong?

[Little Miss Edi]

Can we possibly hope to define right and wrong?

[Leaka]

Why would you want define them?

[Rei]

Why are we getting so philisophical?

[Leaka]

Why don't you want to think philosophical?

[Rei]

Didn't you know that it gives me a head ache?

[Little Miss Edi]

What kind of head ache - temples or back of the head?

[Leaka]

Why do you think I have a headache, have you asked me about my back ache?

[Opheilia]

Sigh - what is the meaning of life?

[Leaka]

Why you ask, depressed?

[Little Miss Edi]

[Edit] I've been out posted! :p

[Leaka]

What is that, why are you not asking?

[Opheilia]

Is it just me, or is this getting confusing?

[Little Miss Edi]

If we're honest with ourselves did it actually make sense when we started?

[Leaka]

Did you know it made sense to me?

[Opheilia]

Is that because your a genius? :-)

[Leaka]

How did you know, did know I have an ego as well?

[Opheilia]

Is it getting bigger?

[Leaka]

Did you know you complimented my ego?

[Opheilia]

Is it going to be overinflated then?

[Rei]

Is it possible for a writer to have an ego that is too big?

[Little Miss Edi]

Considering all the knocks and rejection can a writer sustain their ego for any length of time?

[Rei]

Wouldn't we have to in order to not give up?

[Little Miss Edi]

Couldn't we just bumble along on love and sublime inspiration instead?

[Leaka]

Why can't you see, rejection is a compliment means your story is unique?

[Rei]

What's so unique about bad writing?

[Xeno]

Who said the writing was Bad?

[Leaka]

Didn't you know they reject stories that are just to unique and don't conform to any sort of society, a norm?

[Xeno]

Should I really have known that?

[Leaka]

Why don't you want to know?

[Opheilia]

Know what?

[DragonGrim]

Huh?

[Xeno]

Is it just me, or are the answers just getting shorter?

[DragonGrim]

It’s just you. The answers are getting longer and more complex in the realm of the unsaid. The Iceberg Theory?

[ChimmyBear]

What's The Iceberg Theory got to do with me in Florida?

[Rei]

Didn't you know that you aren't supposed to use any sentences in this game, Dragon?

[Opheilia]

Wasnt I about to say that Rei?

ha ha

[Rei]

Don't you realize that I am a master at this game?

[Xeno]

Oh, sorry, should we have?

[Rei]

Didn't you know that I started this exact thread on other sites?

[marina]

Which sites would that be?

[ChimmyBear]

Would it be that those sites might explain why I am addicted to reading this thread?

[marina]

Do you really need a site to explain your addiction?

[ChimmyBear]

Is there any other way?

[marina]

Would you like to find another way?

[ChimmyBear]

Can I drive?

[marina]

Are you old enough to drive?

[garmar69]

Are you too old?

[marina]

Is one ever too old?

[garmar69]

Is one ever too young?

[ChimmyBear]

Where will we go?

[garmar69]

What will we take? That's THE question.

[ChimmyBear]

Can I say everything and yet absolutly nothing?

[garmar69]

Can I say nothing but absolutely everything?

[ChimmyBear]

Would it matter anyway?

[garmar69]

What would your dog think?

[ChimmyBear]

Should I have a dog?

[marina]

Did you ask your doctor if it's okay for you to have a dog?

[ChimmyBear]

Does the doctor like tall people?

[marina]

Are you worried that you should have worn flats instead of heels?

[ChimmyBear]

Would flats have made that big a difference?

[AWR]

Would the old woman who lived in the shoe prefer to upgrade to sparkly flats or high-heeled leather boots?

[ChimmyBear]

LMAO!!! :D

Would the leather boots make her feel younger?

[Opheilia]

Are we talking about kinky boots here?

[Little Miss Edi]

If we're talking about fab and colourful boots then perhaps these beauties would take your fancy?

*pulls up trouser to reveal raindow boots with faux fur lining - so colourful!*

[Opheilia]

Do you always wear fab boots when typing?

[Little Miss Edi]

Isn't if just a natural law that fab boots and gorgeous shoes should be worn at every possible opporunity?

[Opheilia]

Shouldnt you draw the line at wearing them in the bath?

[Little Miss Edi]

Weren't wellies designed for that very reason? ;)

[Opheilia]

Wont you end up with smely feet, if you dont wash them in the bath?

[Little Miss Edi]

I wonder whether it's a worth sacrifice?

[Opheilia]

Aren't gorgeous shoes worth everything?

[Rei]

Isn't it mure fun to just never wear shoes when you aren't cold?

[ChimmyBear]

Wouldn't our feet get terribly dirty?

[Little Miss Edi]

Is you have a no shoes policy in the house and you had dirty feet, would it be a no feet policy?

[marina]

Couldn't you clean your feet outside first before going in the house?

[Opheilia]

Couldnt you leave your feet outside the door?

[Little Miss Edi]

What if someone steals my feet?!

[marina]

Don't you have a foot locker? :cool:

[Rei]

Did you know that I went to class barefoot when I was in college until I got in trouble for it?

[marina]

They actually had a policy about wearing footwear?

[garmar69]

Do they have one about underwear?

[Xeno]

Are you thinking of something fun, garmar?

[garmar69]

Always!

What do you have in mind? :p

[marina]

Does garmar plan to visit Rei's college? :cool:

[Opheilia]

Should Rei be worried?

[Xeno]

Isn't she already?

[DragonGrim]

Isn't worried an understatement?

[marina]

How worried should she be?

[Rei]

Why should I be worried, when I graduated over year ago?

[marina]

Don't you worry for your friends who haven't graduated yet?

[Rei]

Why should I worry?

[Opheilia]

is there anyway he could find out where you live?

[garmar69]

When I do, can I bring my santa suit?

[Rei]

Why would you want to come dressed at Santa when you're visiting a Jew?

[DragonGrim]

Isn't Santa a nice man that everyone can like?

[Rei]

Is he's so nice, why doesn't he bring me presents?

[DragonGrim]

Food is the way to the heart, have you tried cookies and milk?

[Rei]

Do you think he'd go for chocolate coins?

[marina]

Didn't you know he doesn't like chocolate?

[Rei]

Then how did he get so fat?

[marina]

Have you ever heard of cookies and milk? :p

[Little Miss Edi]

Are we talking realy milk, rice or soya?

[Opheilia]

Why so many options for milk?

[star_fire]

what about chocolate milk?

[garmar69]

Is he on a diet now?

[star_fire]

why is he on a diet?

[Little Miss Edi]

Do you think he's put on a few pounds then?

[garmar69]

Was he able to get down your chimney last year?

[Little Miss Edi]

If last year I didn't have a chimney and he came through the window does that still count?

[garmar69]

That depends. Did he damage your window on his way out?

[Opheilia]

Who are we on about?

[star_fire]

does santa really have a rudolph the red nosed reindeer?

[Little Miss Edi]

Perhaps we should ask not 'who' but 'what' when it comes to the fat bearded man in the red coat: who or what is he?
Haha! you caught me star_fire

Is the red nose due to a cold or a permanent discolouration?

[garmar69]

Or is it a gin blossom?

[Little Miss Edi]

Is there anyway that we can test what exactly is wrong with that reindeer's nose?

[star_fire]

is santa a mad scientist that tweaked rudolph's dna?

[Rei]

Why would he do a thing like that and then shun him like everyone else did in the movie?

[Little Miss Edi]

Does that imply that Rudolph was a failed experiment but, in fact, the sidaffects proved useful?

[othman]

How is the ability to light up the nearby clouds useful?

[marina]

Why are you talking about clouds when we're talking about Rudolph being shunned by Santa?

[Rei]

Don't you realize that Santa changed his mind about Rudolph years ago?

[DragonGrim]

Can Santa be arrested for animal abuse?

[garmar69]

Have you every seen the way he beats them reindeer?

[Rei]

Have you?

[DragonGrim]

Not visually, but have you heard them whippings?

[Rei]

Have you checked the rules of the game?

[Wreybies]

Yikes! Did DG just get told?!?

[Xeno]

Isn't that a matter of opinion? And a Sentence from Wreybies?

[marina]

Did Wreybies just write a non-question sentence?

[Doug J]

Are you claiming that even us new people should know who/what is/are Wreybies?

[marina]

Didn't you read the posts above and see Wreybies's name?

[Doug J]

Why should I read the posts from the Master of Silly Walks?

[marina]

Do you have something against silly walking?

[Doug J]

Can you think of one reason why I should embrace silly walking?

[marina]

Don't you just like to have fun sometimes and be silly?

[Doug J]

Do you think silly is an adequate description of moving legs in a jerking, high-kick motion that propels oneself forward?

[marina]

Would you call it something else?

[Rei]

What should he call it?

[Doug J]

Why would we need to call it anything - isn't a picture worth a thousand words?

[Rei]

If we're using 1000 words, wouldn't that imply that we're calling it something?

(Ha! I am awesome)

[marina]

Couldn't we use all those words but still not get to the essence of it?

[CommonGoods]

Well, what is the essence of it?

[marina]

Can't we just say the essence is indescribable?

[Rei]

Why would you want to say that?

[marina]

Don't you think it's better to allow the reader to imagine for themselves what it's the essence of?

[Rei]

The essence of what?

[marina]

Can't you just scroll back and read the previous posts to find it out yourself?

[Rei]

Why would I want to bother doing that when you can tell me yourself?

[Faelon]

Can a statement be turned into a question by just adding a question mark?

[Faelon]

Am I aloud to make mistakes because I am new and didn't realize that my post would be on a different page?

[othman]

perhaps, but don't you feel that in your heart of hearts you know the answer yourself and don't need us to tell you?

[kehl]

Where'd I put my bourbon?

[Rei]

Now why are you changing the subject?

[kehl]

Oh, but on the contrary, one would need a healthy serving of mother's milk if one had to read all these questions, right?

[othman]

is it just me, or are you feeling the urge to inform the police?

[Rei]

Doesn't Othman know that you aren't supposed to randomly change the subject, making this game more fun and challenging?

[kehl]

Would you like for me to stand 'subject changing' watch?

[Rei]

Is that what you really want to do?

[kehl]

Why don't you tell me?

[othman]

Why don't we all just calm....down?

[kehl]

Does anyone remember what the subject we strayed from was?

[othman]

umm, how about we start a new one?

[kehl]

Shall it be about Scandinavian Death Metal bands?

[othman]

Nah, if I were you I wouldn't of said that so as to avoid the embarrassment of being silly, and instead raised the question: Does our personality reflect our state of mind?

[kehl]

Does our mind of state, personality reflect?

[Rei]

Doesn't it make sense that it would?

(seriously, othman, I know I'm being a bit OCD about this, but the game is about using only questions)

[othman]

Does it, does it really?

Rei it is a sentence that has a question in, but I won't do it again, sorry.

[Rei]

What do you think?

[othman]

why must you always ask someone else?

[Rei]

Is it wrong for me to be interested in what other people think?

[kehl]

I question your motives.


(does that count as a question?)

[Rei]

What do you think?

(It's not my game, but I'd say no)

[theutopian12342]

why not?

[Xeno]

Will this game ever die?

[Rei]

Why would you want it to die?

[Xeno]

Did I say I wanted it to?

[Ashleigh]

are you denying it?

:p

[Rei]

Wasn't he the one who asked the question about the game dying?

[CommonGoods]

Haven't you been paying attention?

[Rei]

Have you been paying attention?

[Doug J]

If I had been paying attention, would I have any better insights?

[Rei]

Would you?

[Doug J]

Why are two word questions more infuriating than longer ones?

[theutopian12342]

Should I anwser you?

[Doug J]

Is this that the kind of spelling for which you want to be known?

[theutopian12342]

Could I have predicted that future reply?

[marina]

Do you have a crystal ball to do that?

[Rei]

Aren't there more effective ways of predicting the future?

[marina]

What can be more effective than a magical glass ball that tells all?

[Rei]

Don't you think a scrying mirror would show a better picture?

[marina]

Won't it be easier to see an image in transparent glass rather than dark painted glass?

[Rei]

Don't you know what the pictures on a scrying mirror look like?

[theutopian12342]

Haven't you ever seen one?

[marina]

Why would I care to see one when I have an amazing crystal ball?

[theutopian12342]

Why be ignorant?

[marina]

Isn't that a better question to ask yourself?

[othman]

are you implying that theutopian is ignorant?

[theutopian12342]

Are you ask me?

[Xeno]

Can anyone actually lose this game?

[Rei]

Do you feel that you are doing well?

[Xeno]

Are you objecting to that?

[Rei]

Should I?

[othman]

why don't you simply laugh and lower your blood pressure?

[Rei]

What does blood pressure have to do with winning or losing the game?

[othman]

is it possible to win or lose this game?

[Rei]

Don't you realize that the point of this game is to have the question be a logical response to the previous question?

[othman]

That might make sense but is it written in stone?

[Rei]

Didn't you read the rules?


You must try and answer, or keep within the theme of the conversation of the previous post.

No obvious diversions are allowed.

[othman]

You must try and answer, or keep within the theme of the conversation of the previous post.

No obvious diversions are allowed.

Did you not read my question properly as it referred to if it was written stone?

[Rei]

Does nobody have any respect for my opinions and points of view anymore?

[othman]

perhaps we should change the topic?

[Rei]

Could I perhaps interpret that as yes to my question?

[othman]

Perhaps it was a hopeful suggestion that would result in us becoming bestest buddies?

[Rei]

Why would you want to be my friend?

[othman]

How do you know I want to be just a friend?

[marina]

Maybe she's just oblivious to come ons?

[othman]

Perhaps she realizes that I'm joking...?

[marina]

Can you be so certain when she didn't even figure out the stone reference?

[othman]

wait...Didn't she tell me to respect her more?

[Rei]

Is it put down Rei day today?

[othman]

Am I supposed to feel this sorrowful about my actions?

[Rei]

Why should you feel bad about making me feel bad if nobody else does?

[marina]

Can anyone really make another feel something?

[garmar69]

Is it true that you can lead a horse to water but you can't make it think?

[marina]

Did you intend to leave me speechless with that witty re-phrase?

[garmar69]

Did it work? :p

[marina]

What do you think? :D

[garmar69]

Are you glad this thread is back on track?

[marina]

Had we gone off track?

[garmar69]

Are you referring to a running, or racing track? Or a horse track maybe?

[marina]

Are you trying to give me a headache with all those options? :confused:

[garmar69]

Is it working? Is it starting to get under your skin yet? Or over? or beside? In-between?
Maybe later? After dinner? At your friends house? :p

[othman]

maybe you should just slow down and think about what you're saying?

[marina]

Could someone get me some Tylenol, extra strength, night-time, please?

[garmar69]

Would you like travel size? Or regular? We have mega, super duper and trial offer sizes...quick pick one.

[marina]

Could somebody put duct tape over garmar's mouth...or hands, please? :p
