Answer the question.. and then ask a new one

[YsaPur EsChomuw]

I hope not.

What happened to Hoyt?

[Marcus Bales]

He hasn't managed to untie himself yet.


Say, you're a smart one, aren't you?

[YsaPur EsChomuw]

Umm... depends on how you define smart.

What did you do to him?!

[Marcus Bales]

Nothing he didn't ask for.


How did you get away, anyway?

[YsaPur EsChomuw]

I'm very resourceful.

So it was you then, who tied me up?!

[Marcus Bales]

Actually, you did it yourself.


Don't you remember?

[YsaPur EsChomuw]

My recollections are somewhat hazy.

What happened really?

[Marcus Bales]

I think we'll just let it go at that.

Want to do it again?

[YsaPur EsChomuw]

Not unless I know what I was doing.

Would you?

[craig johnston]

not with blaes.


why is the grass always greener on the other side?

[Marcus Bales]

Because I'm on the other side, and Craig Johnson is on the less green side.


Care to join me?

[Stephi_B]

That's the question which every time I answer it by 'yes' gets me into trouble - so: Yes, of course!


What's the point?

[YsaPur EsChomuw]

The sharp end.

What's the point of life?

[Angry Kid Hoyt]

The end


Why do birds suddenly appear?

[YsaPur EsChomuw]

Because their part time job is to please different people who like looking up at the sky.

Where have you been?

[Angry Kid Hoyt]

I was in jail for a week.

Does that frighten you?

[YsaPur EsChomuw]

Yes. I'm easily frightened.

How did you get out?

[Angry Kid Hoyt]

I did things I am not proud of for the warden.


You know I'm lying, right?

[YsaPur EsChomuw]

No. I had nooo idea.

Why is everybody lying to me?

[Angry Kid Hoyt]

Because it is fun to mess with the gullible.

Do you want me to stop?

[YsaPur EsChomuw]

Only if you think you're hurting me.

What are you doing now?

[Angry Kid Hoyt]

Pondering your answer.

You would tell me if I was hurting you, right?

[YsaPur EsChomuw]

Maybe. Probably I'd just stop talking.

Have you finished pondering?

[Angry Kid Hoyt]

And wait for it...ok, done pondering.


Want a cookie?

[YsaPur EsChomuw]

What kind? (It means: yes.)

Where is it?

[Angry Kid Hoyt]

http://img301.imageshack.us/img301/1042/pockyfuyucocoasticksae0.jpg
Here they are - Chocolate Pocky!


Salty, savory or sweet?

[YsaPur EsChomuw]

Oooh, chocolate! Thanks. *munching sounds*
Salty, savoury or sweet. Different one for different times.

Do you like asking questions?

[Angry Kid Hoyt]

I like getting answers.


Do you?

[YsaPur EsChomuw]

No, I'm not good at asking. On second thoughts, I'm not good at answering, either.

Why did you have pictures of men in winged hats?

[Angry Kid Hoyt]

They make me happy, like Moomins & Ruth Gordon.

Why don't you have an avatar yet? Grrrr

[YsaPur EsChomuw]

It doesn't matter. Just imagine one. And now you don't have one, either.

Who is Ruth Gordon?

[Angry Kid Hoyt]

http://img72.imageshack.us/img72/6303/630588259201lzzzzzzzqy6.jpg
Pfht! "Who is Ruth Gordon?", she asks...

http://img228.imageshack.us/img228/9114/plate2skazkibv6.th.gif (http://img228.imageshack.us/my.php?image=plate2skazkibv6.gif)
This is your avatar in my head, ok?

[YsaPur EsChomuw]

I like it. But it's Russian.

Why do you think I should know Ruth Gordon?
(I only saw H&M in theatre. In Slovak, naturally.)

[Angry Kid Hoyt]

I assume that my brain is linked to everyone else’s and so you should be able to follow my train of thought and reasoning without me needing to explain...*sigh*


Should I start wearing the tinfoil hat again?

[YsaPur EsChomuw]

I think now is the time.

Shouldn't you be happy your brain isn't linked to everyone else's?

[Frieda]

oh all the others should be happy-- they would't be able to keep up!



have you done the dishes yet?

[Angry Kid Hoyt]

No, and thanks for reminding me of my tendency to procrastinate.

Is that real fur?

[Frieda]

yeah, the cat is shedding all over the place.


do you have any chocolates or something?

[YsaPur EsChomuw]

Yes, here, take these. There's only a little bit of cat fur stuck to them, but it is allegedly good for digestion.

Is there anything else you'd like?

[trisherina]

It sure as hell wouldn't be Pocky.

Isn't it obvious?

[YsaPur EsChomuw]

Obviously you're on a diet.

Would you like some fruit instead?

[Veruki]

I'm allergic to pineapple.

Did you do that on purpose?

[Angry Kid Hoyt]

No, sometimes when I giggle I fart a little.

Does it smell that bad?

[YsaPur EsChomuw]

Ewww... I thought it was the mangled something the cat has just brought in.

What are you wearing?!

[Angry Kid Hoyt]

Store bought underwear!

Fancy, huh?

[YsaPur EsChomuw]

It's an improvement from the one you crocheted for yourself.

Would you like some more of this?

[Stephi_B]

Only if it's still glowing in the dark.


Are you sure this is the way outta here?

[YsaPur EsChomuw]

Mmm... not as sure as I was two days ago. In fact, not any more.

Would you like to show the way out of here, then?

[Odbe]

No, I think I'll just let you stay here and rot.


That okay with you?

[YsaPur EsChomuw]

Sure. I have done it before.

Are you leaving?

[12"razormix]

maybe.


do you have socks on?

[YsaPur EsChomuw]

Almost always.

Do you want them?

[12"razormix]

no.


are you born in october?

[YsaPur EsChomuw]

No.

Is it terribly important?

[12"razormix]

yes it is!


what?

[YsaPur EsChomuw]

Nothing. It was the phone.

Why is October so important? Is it because of the Russian revolution?

[Hyakujo's Fox]

Nah, the October Revolution took place in November, so that can't be it.

Question straight from morning tv phone in: What gross things do your family members do?

[YsaPur EsChomuw]

The grossest thing was that they died.

What have you been up to?

[Stephi_B]

Oh slept till almost 2pm and then had some rather extended teatime....


When will you find it?

[PinkLincoln]

when I stop looking for it


are you more like the lion or the gazelle?

[YsaPur EsChomuw]

A ferocious carnivorous gazelle feeding off lions.

Are you more like Pink or Lincoln?

[funkytuba]

Kennedy was shot in a Lincoln. Just thought that'd be relevant.

Do your eyes itch?

[YsaPur EsChomuw]

After playing that game for hours, yes.

Why is it raining again?

[Marcus Bales]

Just to annoy you.

Are you annoyed?

[Stephi_B]

Yes, because Marcus was faster and I have to edit my post.


Why are hiding behind the sofa?

[YsaPur EsChomuw]

Erm... I'm not hiding... something fell behind the sofa and...

Are all of the guests gone yet?

[Marcus Bales]

Why are hiding behind the sofa?

Because annoy.


Are you watch TV?

[Marcus Bales]

Erm... I'm not hiding... something fell behind the sofa and...

Are all of the guests gone yet?

Yes -- take off your clothes with me.


Do you like what you see?

[Stephi_B]

Yes, all except the one lying unconscious next to the toilet.


Where's your handbag?

[Marcus Bales]

Yes, all except the one lying unconscious next to the toilet.


Where's your handbag?


I don't care about your mother -- take your clothes off!


Where's the lubricant?

[YsaPur EsChomuw]

In the toilet lying under the uncoscious one!

Do you need anything?

[Marcus Bales]

Quite a bit of sex, and some lubricant that hasnm't been in the toilet, thanks.


Will you please get those clothes off?

[Stephi_B]

No, it's not because of you, but because of the panorama windows and the broken jalousie.


Is that all?

[Marcus Bales]

That's all for me.

How about you?

[Stephi_B]

I want more.


Do you like it?

[YsaPur EsChomuw]

It depends.

What were you doing?

[funkytuba]

Putting away the leftover london broil.

What's the nature of your entanglement?

[T.I.P.]

i cannot say for certain; all i know is that it delves deep into the abyss of my psyche

is that chicken ?

[funkytuba]

No. It's grassfed beef which often requires adding extra fat because it's so lean.

Do you want some?

[YsaPur EsChomuw]

Yesss!

Don't you think grassfed beef is a funny expression?

[trisherina]

Not to the Interrupting Cow.

Who's there?

[funkytuba]

^^ Having read Michael Pollan's "The Omnivore's Dilemma", No. Apparently the default is "Corn- Vitamins- and Antibiotics-fed Beef."

^ Yes. And he's trying to figure out how Jim Carrey gets into every single Dr. Seuss-based-movie they're making these days.

So does that make "Corned Beef" an oxymoron?

[skip intro]

no, but funkytuba is.


when adam delved and eve span,
who, then, was gentleman?

[YsaPur EsChomuw]

You should ask Eve, I suppose.

Oh, where is last year’s snow?

[Hyakujo's Fox]

It was dug up and sold to China where it is used in snow dome manufacture.


Where do you want to go today?

[brightpearl]

halong bay, VN

Now where's that monkey gotten off to?

[Stephi_B]

He's not gone, just backstage, sorting his bananas or something.


And what is the other half of the story?

[Bman]

The same as the first half, hero on his way to some McGuffin, but never really knowing why.



What would you ever do without me?

[Stephi_B]

Searching through the rest of the alphabet -- Aman, Cman, Dman, ... Zman -- for someone suitable.


What is in your hand?

[YsaPur EsChomuw]

My future.

What are you drinking?

[Stephi_B]

Same's youuu, but with moooore g!n *hicks*


What made your computer crash?

[YsaPur EsChomuw]

It tried to breathe under water, but failed.

Can you lead?

[Hyakujo's Fox]

I'm dreadfully sorry, my card is full for the evening.


Would you, if you could?

[Marcus Bales]

Sure, but only until I get it straightened out, then someone else has to take over.


Hey, Joe -- where you going with that gun in your hand?

[brightpearl]

I kept telling you I was going to shoot you if you didn't stop calling me Joe.

Who were you with the last time you had a fontina souffle?

[Marcus Bales]

You’re best advised to cook in what our artists call “The Nude”.
It isn’t that I hope to be lascivious or lewd
It’s just that processed imitation pasteurized cheese food
Is best washed off of human skin – on clothes it stays well-glued;

But once I’d set aside the warnings Everett C. Koop,
The Surgeon General, issued re: a substitute food group
I’d scrape my skin, collecting all the extra shredded goop,
Then mix it in with all the rest and dump it in the soup;

I heat the soup till nearly all the liquid’s boiled away,
Then pop it in the freezer till it’s marbled white and gray,
Then beat it in the eggs and make a fluffy light soufflé
That serves a couple dozen at a chafing-dish buffet;

The last time I recall this processed cheese soufflé was served
The caterer was only caught because he was observed
All nude and scraping in the soup, which left them so unnerved
They cubed and frilly-tooth-picked him, fontina’d and hors d’oeuvred,


What's it to ya?

[Stephi_B]

The most amazing, fabulous, grand, magnificent, making-me-fall-out-off-my-socks... whatever it's supposed to be.


Can you repeat that please?

[seebe]

I SAID IF YOU'D TURN YOUR HEARING AID UP YOU MIGHT BE ABLE TO UNDERSTAND ME BETTER.


Did it take a lot of courage to do that?

[lukkucairi]

not particularly, once the drugs began to take hold. the tattoo site stung for a day or so, and wearing the bunny suit has taken some getting used to, but once you've gone through the induction ceremony you don't worry so much any more

do you brush it out every day?

[Stephi_B]

Nope, I clean the bra's notorious unisex toilet with vitriolic acid like once or twice per month, depending on what exactly happened there on the Fridays before.


Do you know what your nose looks like?

[YsaPur EsChomuw]

No, because it gets in the way when I try to look into the mirror.

When will I finally feel better?

[Marcus Bales]

Tomorrow.

What's it all about?

[Stephi_B]

The ö's and the ü's.... or sex... or 42, who knows, it's life.


With or without?

[YsaPur EsChomuw]

With, definitely. And without, indefinitely.

What are you hiding behind your back?

[Marcus Bales]

This Goddam failed to answer, and growing impatient, he paddled up to Dildo, whining, "Let me see, let me see." Dildo obliged by pulling out the pistol and emptying it in Goddam's direction. The dark spoiled his aim, and he managed only to de- flate the rubber float, leaving Goddam to flounder. Goddam, who couldn't swim, reached his hand out to Dildo and begged him to pull him out, and as he did, Dildo noticed an interesting-looking ring on his finger and pulled it off. He would have finished Goddam off then and there, but pity stayed his hand. "It's a pity I have run out of bullets," he thought, as he went back up the tunnel, pursued by Goddam's cries of rage.


What, didn't you ever read "Bored of the Rings"?

[YsaPur EsChomuw]

No, it escaped my attention.

Did you write it yourself?

[Marcus Bales]

No, Henry Beard and Doug Kenney wrote it -- and there's a very good summary of it at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bored_of_the_Rings.

Are you going to read it?

[YsaPur EsChomuw]

I might but these things are not that simple to come by in this part of the world.

How do I get rid of everyday multiple headaches?

[Marcus Bales]

Same as Dildo, except remember to take extra ammo, and re-load.


Isn't that your father coming through the door of the bar to join us?

[Hyakujo's Fox]

I thought he was your father.


Did you hear something downstairs?

[seebe]

Yeah sorry about that, I had beans last night.


Will it spill over?

[Marcus Bales]

Yep -- that's the way siphoning works.


Whose hose is this?

[seebe]

Just follow it down to where it attaches inside your pants and you'll find out.


Caviar anyone?

[Marcus Bales]

I hate caviare.

Where's the Brie?

[YsaPur EsChomuw]

You've eaten all of it and then you got sick.

Remember?

[Stephi_B]

Vaguely, it was dark, both of us were rather blothered and it got quite dirty.


What's the difference between these two words?

[Odbe]

One was used in the PG-13 version, the other in the uncut version.

Why are you complaining?

[Stephi_B]

A habit.


A habit?

[YsaPur EsChomuw]

No, a hobit.

When did you last take a shower?

[Stephi_B]

When the day was young, the air filled with rush-hour noise and fumes and the first pollen cheekily flying in the wind.


What's that apparatus for?

[Marcus Bales]

It's a prototype of the Sharper Image high-tech version of a straight-backed chair and a regimental tie, and it's for the same thing.

Why do you ask?

[Stephi_B]

Politeness.... but don't get funny ideas now.


Why don't you do it yourself?

[YsaPur EsChomuw]

I could, I guess, but it's not quite the same.

What planet are you from?!

[Coffee]

It doesn't matter, you can't get there from here.

How can you tell when is an egg done?

[Odbe]

I don't know, but when an egging has been done you can tell by the ants.


What are you keeping that junk around for?

[Stephi_B]

It's not just some junk, it is special junk towards which I happen to have warm and nostalgic feelings.


Can we stop here, please?

[Marcus Bales]

But we're already suffused with post-orgasmic glow.


Are you leaving already?

[YsaPur EsChomuw]

Now that I got what I wanted, yes.

Can you pass me the salt, please?

[Veruki]

I'm under strict orders not to, it's for your own good, it stings.

Does someone have a spare stapler?

[clubsamwich]

A stapler is not a toy, here take my nail gun.

Now, where did I leave my slippers?

[Brynn]

Silly, they're on your head like always.

Does your mother know about that?

[YsaPur EsChomuw]

In fact she suggested it.

How can you do such a thing?

[clubsamwich]

I was born to do it, born to be alive in fact.

Would you care to dance?

[lukkucairi]

Nataraja never stops.


why?

[Stephi_B]

My friends inner voice told me to.


How does this superbly-silly little rhyme go?

[YsaPur EsChomuw]

It goes on three feet.

Are you really a champion?

[Marcus Bales]

No, but I play one on the internet.

Where's that confounded bridge?

[YsaPur EsChomuw]

You mean the one we passed 2 hours ago?

What? WHAT?!? Are you insane?

[clubsamwich]

Ow! You're shouting at me!

Are you finished with your sandwich?

[lukkucairi]

I'm saving it for later.


do you want a bite?

[Marcus Bales]

Rowr!


Oh, did you mean of your sandwich?

[YsaPur EsChomuw]

Umm, no.

Can you forget what I just said?

[seebe]

Only if you edit it out.


Was it that long ago?

[lukkucairi]

not really, but the time dilation effects of being this close to a black hole make it seem that way.


would you like dog hair with that?

[Hyakujo's Fox]

unless you're offering me a bald dog, no.


do you worry about dog pattern baldness?

[lukkucairi]

no, but my dog does.

do you worry about fox-pattern baldness?

[Hyakujo's Fox]

not since my winter coat came through



What's your excuse this time?

[lukkucairi]

I'd just had the clippers oiled, and it seemed like a good idea.


did it hurt?

[funkytuba]

a little, but I'll get over it

Could you look at this thing on the back of my elbow please?

[Stephi_B]

No, because it has given me already a nasty look from afar and bared it's teeth in an uncanny fashion.


The hairy one?

[MoJoRiSin]

No not the hairy one the German. ;)

[YsaPur EsChomuw]

When will Mr. Bales judge the Dictionary Game?

[seebe]

I think he's being lithic in his silence. [Lithic: to make a statement by actions rather than words]


Can you hear it?

[YsaPur EsChomuw]

No, I'm stone deaf.

[MoJoRiSin]

Well, not exactly but the computer translator says they mean

It did not take that long.

[Coffee]

It's Tuesday, let's go to the potluck over at the Tabernacle.

[Hyakujo's Fox]

Nah, the Tabernacle only got three star review.


So did you get it?

[Brynn]

Not only did I get it, but I then sent it straight over to you.

Are you going to answer all the questions?

[YsaPur EsChomuw]

No, but I will pretend answering them.

Did it hurt?

[Brynn]

No, I'm only pretending that I'm hurt.

Are you the man that once kissed me on a train?

[Hyakujo's Fox]

Is that all right?

[xfox]

It's past your bedtime.

Where is the vacuum?

[funkytuba]

In a time out over in the corner.

Why?

[xfox]

Okay, okay, back up.


What is that in your ear?

[Hyakujo's Fox]

You'll have to speak up, there's something in my ear!


When, where and how often?

[Marcus Bales]

That girl was checking you out.


Would you like one?

[Marcus Bales]

Only if it's covered in chocolate.


Is anybody in there?

[YsaPur EsChomuw]

It depends on where 'here' is.

Where is your headache?

[Brynn]

Nothing.

[Marcus Bales]

It's not hard to understand; it's hard to explain.

How did "cagey" get to be a synonym for "cunning"?

[YsaPur EsChomuw]

Global warming's got a few days of holidays.

When will you learn from your own mistakes?

[lukkucairi]

when the aliens present them to me as an old-fashioned 35mm slide show, and not before then, dammit.


who used up all the hot water?

[funkytuba]

The aliens had just gotten out of their ship after a 25,544 light-year journey and smelled pretty rank. I let them freshen up. They liked the Herbal Essences but I had to stop them from drinking the whole bottle.

How was the show?

[Marcus Bales]

Sucked.

You?

[Brynn]

I was thinking it was you, but now I'm pretty sure it was the dog.

So when will it end?

[Jack Flanders]

I think only after you completely get the GD weed and it's roots out and replant a new splendid garden.

How do I get more $ to buy MY pink barn?

[Jack Flanders]

A DUMBBELL.

Why are people pissed at Letterman?

How can you find your next favourite book?

it's the one on the airport bookstore shelf that doesn't have Glenn Beck on the front cover.


do you think I floss enough?

[Marcus Bales]

Sure, but try brushing your tongue, too, when you brush your teeth -- it gets rid of a lot of bad breath odor.


It's HOW much?

[Brynn]

Just enough to drop one's jaw at the sheer audacity of it.

Who knew that the dahlias would come up the exact same shade as the roses?

[Marcus Bales]

If you take care of the peonies the dahlias will take care of themselves.

You had a date with who?

[funkytuba]

Mrs. Funky. We dropped off the kids. We ate. We picked up the kids. We came come.

How's that go again?

[Marcus Bales]

In, out; in, out; repeat until you can't repeat any more -- sheesh, the things those old married couples forget!

A solid wood table, four chairs, and a virgin.

[YsaPur EsChomuw]

What did you do today?

Why have you forgotten to ask a question?

[funkytuba]

Will he get it right next time?

[xfox]

Your guess is as good a mine.

Have you ever been, or would you ever go to Pago Pago?

[Coffee]

Haven't been, but Absolutely would love to go. That part of the world, although not specifically Pago Pago, is my goal to sail to.



Would you sail around the world and see all the tropical islands the wind carries you too, even if it meant being seasick for 2 days at the start of each and every passage?

[Marcus Bales]

No; I've been to tropical isles and they are a lot of work -- certainly not worth being seasick over and over for.

Why not just pick one?

[xfox]

Papeete Tahiti

Would you come too?

[Marcus Bales]

Only if I can bring my regimental tie -- and assuming you'll provide the Lithuanian dwarf and the straight-backed chair.


Has anyone seen my logolepsy?

[xfox]

He's the director.

Are you going to see yet another Mike Meyer movie?

[Marcus Bales]

No, I'm going to a tittie bar -- that's why I have this 8-year-old with a green-painted face, and a headpiece that has little green trumpets sticking out over each ear, with me.


Do you want me to get a bucket and mop?

[Brynn]

"No, honey - just leave it to dry and forget about it like you usually do. In a couple of months I'll hunch over it on my hands and knees for a half day or so, chunking it all off with a butter knife, and you'll never know the difference," she replied affectionately.

Why don't you just get fresh batteries?
