???????????????

[gekkogecko]

Could it be any more confusing?

[dicksbro]

With some effort wouldn't you guess?

[gekkogecko]

Does that mean you deliberately try to confuse the situation?

[dicksbro]

Confusing it more doesn't need help … does it? :confused:

[gekkogecko]

Does that mean we can wrap it up and go home?

[dicksbro]

I thought we were home. You mean we're not … even with COVID-19?

[gekkogecko]

Are we home with COVID-19 (Yeah, if you do have it, I hope you're home, for both reasons).

[dicksbro]

We're home. :)

[Goofy]

No virus er nuttin, but wez been keepin' close to home, too.

[gekkogecko]

Does this give you time to finally fix that leaky faucet?

[dicksbro]

Did goofy have a leaky faucet? :confused:

[gekkogecko]

Is that a euphamism for something?

[dicksbro]

Is 'something' a euphemism?

[Goofy]

I dunno, is it?

[gekkogecko]

is it possible to write about a word without using the word?

[dicksbro]

It is … look at politicians … often when they talk about something, they couch in in unfamiliar ways so you don't really know what they mean but you think it should be something good (of course, quite often that's not entirely true). Or ads that say FREE but add $10.99 to cover P&H.

Sounds a bit dishonest, doesn't it?

[gekkogecko]

How do you define honesty?

[dicksbro]

The opposite of political speak.

How's that? :)

[gekkogecko]

Do all social animals speak politics?

[dicksbro]

Probably, wouldn't you say?

[gekkogecko]

If I said it, would anyone understand it?

[dicksbro]

Depends on what language you use, doesn't it? :shrug:

[gekkogecko]

Does anyone here speak Reptilian?

[dicksbro]

I can hiss a little and say ribbet … but I don't know what I'm saying. Does that count?

[Goofy]

DB yuz funny. I go ahead n' count it tho'. Sumtimes my dog kinda mumbles a bit n' it almost sound like he's tryin' to talk human-like. Kinda silly but cute anywho. Anybuddy else got cute dog story?

[gekkogecko]

Are dogs cute?

[dicksbro]

Puppies are, does that count? :confused:

[gekkogecko]

Is there anything cuter than a baby snapping turtle?

[dicksbro]

He is kinda but I think I won't pet him. :shrug:

[gekkogecko]

Are you saying that if it's cute, you automatically want to pet it?

[dicksbro]

No so much in the case of snapping turtles. Sorry to the little shelled guy (or gal). Their response could be a tad painful. Don't you think?

[gekkogecko]

Do you realize that in all the time I've handled snapping turtles, I've never once been bitten?

(Not by adults because I'm too careful; not by hatchlings, because they're incapable).

[Goofy]

Sound like yuz knows vat yer doin' gg. I ain't never touch one I don't tink.

[dicksbro]

Has anyone seen Lilith's panties?

[gekkogecko]

Does she actually have any?

[dicksbro]

Who knows? Besides her, of course. :shrug:

[Goofy]

Gollee! Meybe her hubby guy?

[gekkogecko]

Is it true that Lilith used to have some, but only for gagging someone after she hog-tied him?

[dicksbro]

Now, that's possible, isn't it?

[gekkogecko]

Should we call Aqua to verify?

[dicksbro]

Do you think he'd answer?

[gekkogecko]

Who is involved in this cover-up, anyway?

[dicksbro]

Cover-up? I thought we were talking about uncovered?

[gekkogecko]

Do you want to be the one to investigate Lilith's panties?

[dicksbro]

You're closer aren't you?

[gekkogecko]

Why would I take that chance?

[Goofy]

I dunno. Why?

[gekkogecko]

Just how dangerous is fooling around in Lilith's panties?

[dicksbro]

Does the word "YIKES" come to mind?

[gekkogecko]

Are there other things that could be equally dangerous?

[dicksbro]

I'll have to give that some more thought. That's okay, isn't it?

[gekkogecko]

Why should I worry if you think?

[dicksbro]

Why not?

[gekkogecko]

Are you an evil supervillian?

[dicksbro]

Is that what you think?

[gekkogecko]

Is that what you want me to think?

[dicksbro]

How about just a nice guy? :shrug:

[gekkogecko]

Do nice guys now win ball games?

[dicksbro]

I don't know ... do they keep records on that?

[gekkogecko]

What else would sports statisticians do?

[dicksbro]

Eat, drink and be merry?

[gekkogecko]

Can you only be Mary under the slogan, "You are what you eat"?

[dicksbro]

Can you only be eaten if you're merry?

[gekkogecko]

Or is it one of the things that makes you merry?

[dicksbro]

Now that's a possibility, isn't it?

[gekkogecko]

What else might make you happy?

[dicksbro]

For sure, our faith, my wife and our family. How about you?

[gekkogecko]

Would that make sense to you if I told you?

[kleclere]

Would it make more sense if it was asked?

[dicksbro]

And ... why?

[kleclere]

But why not?

[gekkogecko]

Are we now indulging in circular logic?

[kleclere]

Does it have to be?

[gekkogecko]

Is it true that to be is to do?

[dicksbro]

Ah, but what is truth?

[gekkogecko]

Do you live your life according to the principal, "seek ye the truth, and the truth shall make ye strange?"

[kleclere]

Do I really have to credit the truth to why I am strange?

[gekkogecko]

Isn't the truth that we are all strange?

[kleclere]

Isn't it strange is as strange does?

[gekkogecko]

What strange ways can you be done?

[dicksbro]

Should I count the ways?

[gekkogecko]

Canyou count to 21 when you're clothed?

[Goofy]

Yeppers cuz I uses me nose.

Do yuz ever go widout sumptin' on under yer pants?

[gekkogecko]

Does my skin count as under my pants?

[kleclere]

Is he is talking about certain skin?

[gekkogecko]

Do you object to me shedding my skin?

[dicksbro]

Is that objectionable?

[gekkogecko]

Doesn't it help you to rid yourself of ectoparasites?

[dicksbro]

Sounds good ... did it work?

[gekkogecko]

If it works for me, shouldn't it work for you?

[kleclere]

What happens if it doesn't?

[dicksbro]

Who knows?

[gekkogecko]

Who know what evil lurks in the hearts of men?

[Goofy]

Gollee, yuz guys ... whatcha talkin' bout?

[gekkogecko]

Would you believe I was quoting an old radio show?

[dicksbro]

The Shadow knows ... right?

[kleclere]

What happens if he doesn't?

[gekkogecko]

Would that be the end of the radio show for good?

[dicksbro]

Or, would it be the "Start of Something Good?"

[gekkogecko]

Is the end of the beginning the beginning of the end?

[dicksbro]

If I said yes, would that answer the question?

[gekkogecko]

What if the answer is "no"?

[kleclere]

Or could it be a definite maybe?

[dicksbro]

What if no one answered?

[gekkogecko]

Would that be the sound of silence?

[dicksbro]

I'll vote for that. Anyone else?

[gekkogecko]

Was that their best song ever?

[dicksbro]

Simon and Garfunkel were had a bunch of good songs, didn't they?

[gekkogecko]

Are there any other groups or music artists that you admire?

[kleclere]

What if I have to many to name?

[gekkogecko]

Would that be name-dropping?

[dicksbro]

If you drop it, do you have to pick it up?

[gekkogecko]

Does that involve bending over?

[kleclere]

Does it matter as to who you are bending over in front of?

[gekkogecko]

Would you trust just anyone to be behind you?

[dicksbro]

What are you trusting them to do?

[gekkogecko]

Isn't what you trust them to not do just as important?

[kleclere]

Shouldn't trust always be important?

[gekkogecko]

Whom can you trust to do , or not do what?

[dicksbro]

Social Security to keep providing checks while I'm still here. :) How's that?

[gekkogecko]

Can you tell me how that works?

[kleclere]

Are you sure it is working?

[dicksbro]

If not that, how about taxes? They never seem to end.

[gekkogecko]

Is this your tax dollars at play?

[kleclere]

Do tax dollars actually play?

[gekkogecko]

Who plays with the tax dollars?

[kleclere]

Couldn't we play with something more interesting?

[gekkogecko]

You want to play with each other, or with yourself?

[kleclere]

Does it matter who the others are?

[jennaflower]

Shouldn’t you select them first?

[kleclere]

Do we have to be tasked with that option so soon?

[dicksbro]

You mean you don't care? :confused:

[kleclere]

Why wouldn't I care?

[jennaflower]

Why wouldn’t you?

[kleclere]

Is there ever really enough alcohol?

[jennaflower]

Do you really want to get drunk?

[kleclere]

What if I can't get drunk?

[jennaflower]

There are always other options

[kleclere]

What are those options?

[jennaflower]

Don’t you already know?

[gekkogecko]

Is it wise to apply them?

[kleclere]

What are we applying?

[jennaflower]

Caution I think, right?

[kleclere]

Do you apply it on your skin?

[jennaflower]

Only if you are sunburnt, right?

[kleclere]

Do you have to have a sunburn to apply?

[gekkogecko]

Aren't there better things to apply to sunburn?

[kleclere]

Could we use Aloe instead?

[jennaflower]

Is that what you prefer?

[kleclere]

Does it depend on who or what it is being put on?

[jennaflower]

Isn’t it important that you know Who is?

[kleclere]

Does it depend on how horny you are?

[jennaflower]

No, aren’t I always horny??

[kleclere]

What if you had a fix for that?

[jennaflower]

Would the fix be permanent or just occasional and temporary?

[kleclere]

What if it was up to you?

[gekkogecko]

Would that make me the king of the world?

[kleclere]

Do you want to be the King of the World?

[jennaflower]

Why would anyone want to be the king of the world?

[kleclere]

Are we sure who would?

[gekkogecko]

Does the King of the World have all the answers?

[kleclere]

Where can we find this person?

[jennaflower]

Can he be located?

[kleclere]

Is it a good thing if we do find him?

[gekkogecko]

If we find him, does he say, "Tag, you're it" ?

[kleclere]

Or will he want to play tag?

[gekkogecko]

Are there other games to play?

[kleclere]

Are we allowed to play other games here?

[dicksbro]

Which games did you want to play?

[gekkogecko]

Sholdnt' the question be, "with whom do you want to play" ?

[kleclere]

Is it really playing with whom?

[jennaflower]

Shouldn’t it be with whom you are playing?

[kleclere]

Do we have to use proper grammar?

[gekkogecko]

English in, order word matters, yes?

[kleclere]

Does it sound like school again?

[jennaflower]

School is just not fun.

[kleclere]

Does the school have to be fun?

[gekkogecko]

Are you into schoolgirl role play?

[kleclere]

What if you don't have the legs for it?

[jennaflower]

If you don’t have legs, what do you have?

[kleclere]

Would we have prosthetics?

[gekkogecko]

Do you use prosthetic for other things?

[kleclere]

What could we use them for?

[dicksbro]

Could we use them to replace politicians?

[kleclere]

Could we replace politicians immediately?

[dicksbro]

Would that solve all our problems?

[gekkogecko]

If you didn't have problems to solve, what would you do with your time?

[kleclere]

Would we have more time without problems?

[dicksbro]

Or, would we have a lot of catching up to do that the problems kept us from doing?

[gekkogecko]

Who is doing what to whom now?

[kleclere]

What if it whom doing what to who?

[gekkogecko]

Have you heard Cousin Itt?

[kleclere]

Isn't he the hairy one?

[gekkogecko]

Is there something wrong with being hairy?

[kleclere]

But isn't he short too?

[gekkogecko]

Is he too short for what?

[kleclere]

Does he qualify as to short for anything?

[dicksbro]

Wouldn't that only apply to a Basketball Center position?

[kleclere]

Could it apply to any Basketball position?

[gekkogecko]

Could he try a different sport?

[kleclere]

Could he do the Olympic hair growing team?

[dicksbro]

... or, could he quit sports and take up ballet?

[kleclere]

Wouldn't all the hair cause him to trip?

[dicksbro]

That is a possibility, isn't it?

[gekkogecko]

Could you imagine Cousin Itt in a tutu?

[kleclere]

Would we really want to?

[gekkogecko]

Do you now have that image stuck in you mind?

[dicksbro]

Wouldn't it be better not to?

[gekkogecko]

Is that even possible?

[kleclere]

Isn't anything possible?

[gekkogecko]

Do we have to wait for the entire lifetime of the universe to find out?

[kleclere]

Who's lifetime will we be waiting for?

[gekkogecko]

If you're dead, does it matter to you?

[kleclere]

What if we aren't dead yet?

[dicksbro]

What if we are? :confused:

[gekkogecko]

Is the entirety of the universe just an illusion?

[kleclere]

What is your definition of illusion?

[dicksbro]

Could that definition in fact be an illusion?

[gekkogecko]

How do you conceptualize reality?

[dicksbro]

Why do you want to?

[kleclere]

Who's reality are we talking about?

[dicksbro]

Does it matter?

[kleclere]

Doesn't it matter to someone?

[dicksbro]

Can you tell me who that is?

[gekkogecko]

Is "that" the same as "they" and "them" ?

[kleclere]

Could it be both?

[dicksbro]

Or, could it be something else?

[gekkogecko]

D'ye have a spyglass an' a good e'e?

[dicksbro]

You ever look for something but just can't find it?

[gekkogecko]

Why is it always in the last place you look?

[kleclere]

Why can't it be the first place you look?

[gekkogecko]

Wouldn't that mean the first place you look and the last place you look are the same?

[kleclere]

Wouldn't that make sense?

[dicksbro]

Sounds reasonable, doesn't it?

[gekkogecko]

Is the world full of reasonable things that aren't?

[kleclere]

What was the question again?

[gekkogecko]

Should we nuke this conversation and start over?

[kleclere]

Who has the nukes?

[gekkogecko]

Doesn't everyone have nukes in this day and age?

[dicksbro]

Seems like it, doesn't it?

[gekkogecko]

How dangerous is that?

[dicksbro]

Isn't any addition to "the club" bad news for the world?

[gekkogecko]

Are you speaking softly, and is that a big stick you're holding?

[kleclere]

Why can't I have a big stick?

[dicksbro]

Wouldn't it be nice if they were only sticks?

[gekkogecko]

Are you expecting stones with those sticks?

[kleclere]

Are we casting stones?

[dicksbro]

Wouldn't casting a line fishing be more fun?

[gekkogecko]

Is this a fishing expedition?

[dicksbro]

Are we on an expedition?
