Hasn't it been a long time since we played the game that every response has to be in the form of a question?

What game?

Do you really not know ?

Glaubt es mir - das Geheimnis, um die größte Fruchtbarkeit und den größten Genuß vom Dasein einzuernten, heisst: gefährlich leben.
- Friedrich Nietzsche

Read all about my travels around the world here.
Read even more of my travel writing and poems on my weblog.

Would you be able to explain it for me?

Richard English

Why not look back at old threads?

Can you give us some references ?

Yes, where are the old threads?

Richard English

Aren't your old threads hanging in the closet alongside your new ones?

Certainly. But how does this help with this topic?

Richard English

Are you kidding?

Are you kidding?
--------------------------------------
Aren't we trying to air out our closets? Oh, yes, what's that peculiarly British closet called - a drying closet, perhaps?

Is a drying closet the opposite of a water closet?

How does this help with our original question?

What is a "drying closet"?

Is it a closet that dries?

Could a wet closet³ perhaps be a private place for secretive drinking -- that is, a speakeasy?

Speaking of which, who wants a beer?

Can I assume that a drying closet is a uniquely US device?

Richard English

Are the threads in the drying closet quite gay?

What happens when the threads come out of the closet?

Is this the thread Richard was looking for?

If I leave my threads behind and come out of the closet, will Winterbranch leaf me alone with my twigs?

Is this the only one, then?

Richard English

Did we ever figure out what a wet closet is?

As nearly as our Research Department can determine, a wet closet is where Shufitz keeps his velocipede, when it's not in that other place, right ??????????????

Could you slide a pint my way, please?

A Budweiser, I presume?

Whence came this assumption that the words "Budweiser" and "beer" have any relationship one with the other?

Richard English

Doesn't Kalleh realize that I'm not particularly wise, but wiser than that?

Trying to change the subject, Hic?

Why should I want to leave such a delightful subject? And what does it take to get a beer around here?

Where is "around here"?

Richard English

Is "around here" anything like "a round tuit"?

I've only seen square ones: Where can I find a 'round' tuit?

What in the world is a "tuit"?

Aren't you supposed to in"tuit"ively know what one is?

Could the tuit have been copyrighted by piantist and music professor Rhonda Tuit?

Do you think we could call her and ask her to "Help, help me, Rhonda"?

Rhonda, can you help me get her out of my heart?

Is it a pianist who plays in her underwear ?

Or could it be someone who plays the piano while pulling your teeth ?

Is it a pianist who plays in her underwear ?

And one who plays without her underwear is a piantryst?

Do you mind if I postpone telling you until I actually get a round tuit?

Actually I do, but is that likely to hurry you along ?

Is this all a bunch of gibberish?

Are you telling me that you really don't know what a round tuit is? And have never managed to get a round tuit when asked?

Richard English

Do tuits come in any form other than the round one?

Don't they also come in the "intuit" form?

So, Smarties, why might I call a "tuit" a "spout"?

Why ask me?

Richard English

So, Smarties, why might I call a "tuit" a "spout"?

Well, who here DIDN'T know that "tuit" was another word for "spout"?

Besides me?
