Is it always possible to answer a question with a question? Can we do this without stumbling into a statement? Will we die laughing?

Do you think we can do this? Do I think it will be fun? Is that your bicycle by the door? big grin

Is this a Socratic reasoning test?
Morgan, why do you have Shufitz' bicycle? Something funny going on? Are you the spokesperson for something, or the hub of neighbourhood attention? And just what are you pedaling?

Is it my fault that shufitz left his bike here? Asa, when did you start spelling neighbourhood with the letter "u" in it? Arnie, why are you laughing at me?

Does it have to be multiple questions? Or will one, or two, do?

Can't I make this place sound a bit more classy? Now, did Shufitz leave an ordinary or a safety behind? (Not familiar with archaic bicycle terms?)

Why not give the neighbourhood some class? Isn't it they way the entire English-speaking world spells it, with one exception? big grin

Isn't the real problem not that Shufitz left his bike here, but where he left it parked?

Don't you think two or three questions sounds good? Do you realize how big that velocipede is? Where's the cat now? confused

Doesn't a velocipede sound like a fast many-legged creepy-crawly? Is shufitz' bicycle really a velocipede? Does it matter? What does it all mean? Why are we here? What's the sound of one hand clapping? If a tree falls in a forest when there's nobody to hear, does...

Grmph... Ugh... Thud.

When Morgan comments on the size of my velocipede, is she speaking metaphoically?

Shouldn't that be, "May I ask a question?" wink

Or perhaps, "Should I ask a question?"

Don't you think we should all ask questions? Is metaphoically anything like metaphorically? Is that the cat in your garden wildflowerchild?

If we all asked questions how would we ever get any answers? What's the point of all this, anyway?

Are there pussy willows in your garden? Would this make it overrun with pussies? Or do you have woodchucks in your garden too?

Isn't a woodchuck the part of a lathe that holds the wood? Can't you mount pussywillow on a woodchuck?

Doesn't the new guy (or gal) usually have to buy the beer? Is that domestic or imported? Can I sing "I Got Friends In Low Places" while I serve that to you?

Did I welcome you yet, Melody?

If I am giving a woodchuck wood, and wildflowerchild has pussy willows in her garden, can the woodchuck be left alone in her garden? eek

I don't know if you can, but you may! big grin

I figure that if you know that song, having friends in low places is a res ipsa loquitur.

Does Savannah have a baseball team? If we went to Savannah, would we even go to a game?

isn't savannah a state of mind? does a cat have an a**? wasn't that my dad's favorite answer? does a bear spritz in the woods? if savannah is itself a game, why would you want to play ball there? are you looking at me? are you? because, is there anyone else here? so, you must be looking at me? so now, are you grinning like a fox eating yellowjackets?

Was it the best of mimes? Was it the worst of mimes?

Should we drop the subject? Or ought we to continue it, remembering that as arnie told us, a mime is a terrible thing to waste?

Didn't Arnie tell us A waist is a terrible thing to mind? If we all had a mind like a mime, would anyone hear us? Would a catastrophe be more like an award for a nice furry butt, if english made more sense? eek

Does this mean that the picture's on your hard disk? In that case you can't post it on the board; only pictures that are already on the Internet can be shown, am I right?

Do you have a Web site? If you do you can upload it there then link to it, is that not so?
