Does he have Space Invaders?

[djarumdudley]

what do you think?

[555-04Q2]

Do you know what Space Invaders is?

[djarumdudley]

is it like Centipede?

[schmenke]

How about Asteroids?

[djarumdudley]

Is it better than Dig Dug?

[555-04Q2]

Did you like Dig Dug as much as I did?

[schmenke]

How could such a simple game be so addictive?

[555-04Q2]

Small minds maybe?

[djarumdudley]

Why can't simple concepts remain awesome?

[555-04Q2]

The effects of progress maybe?

[djarumdudley]

is progress always good?

[555-04Q2]

Would we be typing to each other from opposite ends of the world if it were not for progress?

[djarumdudley]

isn't the world flat?

[555-04Q2]

I thought it was triangular?

[schmenke]

So there are only three compass points?

[555-04Q2]

What's a compass?

[schmenke]

Don't you understand magnetism?

[555-04Q2]

Do I look like a magnet to you?

[schmenke]

Are you saying you're not attractive?

[555-04Q2]

Why can't you be positive for once?

[schmenke]

Did you think I was trying to be negative?

[555-04Q2]

Depends, were you referring to the North or South magnetism side?

[schmenke]

Does it matter?

[555-04Q2]

How else am I going to work out if you were being negative if you don't provide the relevant info required?

[schmenke]

Why don't you just make some assumptions?

[555-04Q2]

You want me to guess, or make an educated and researched assessment?

[schmenke]

Depends, how much time do you have?

[555-04Q2]

How much time am I gonna need?

[schmenke]

Why don't you provide an estimate?

[555-04Q2]

You got a calculator, cause this is gonna be a big estimate?

[schmenke]

Why can't you just provide an order of magnitude?

[555-04Q2]

Do calculators have a magnitude calculating ability?

[schmenke]

Why do you have to complicate this?

[CarlMetro]

Isn't that what he is trained to do?

[schmenke]

Isn't he just being difficult?

[555-04Q2]

Whats wrong wıth beıng dıffıcult? Don't you lıke a challenge?

[schmenke]

Isn't finding a simpler solution more efficient?

[djarumdudley]

but wouldn't finding a roundabout solution be more interesting?

[schmenke]

Perhaps, but wouldn't that take longer?

[djarumdudley]

could you find out?

[schmenke]

Why don't you?

[djarumdudley]

didn't you want to know?

[schmenke]

Not really, I thought you did?

[djarumdudley]

why would you think that?

[schmenke]

You haven't stopped talking about it, have you?

[djarumdudley]

talked about what?

[schmenke]

Don't you remember?

[djarumdudley]

could you remind me?

[schmenke]

Why don't you read the last few pages of this thread?

[djarumdudley]

do you think i have time for that?

[schmenke]

How can you follow along otherwise?

[djarumdudley]

what do you mean follow along?

[schmenke]

Tsk, why can't you unerstand?

[djarumdudley]

since when is understanding necessary?

[schmenke]

Is it not better than merely posting random questions?

[djarumdudley]

could you pose something more informed then?

[schmenke]

What's the meaning of life?

[djarumdudley]

is that a fair question?

[schmenke]

Why not, wouldn't everyone have an opinion?

[djarumdudley]

do you think we have the time for all those opinions?

[schmenke]

Isn't what this forum is for?

[djarumdudley]

was that english?

[schmenke]

Cant yuo unerdsantd?

[djarumdudley]

can you spell?

[schmenke]

Waht makes yuo thikn I cant?

[djarumdudley]

isn't the presented evidence enough?

[schmenke]

Could you please elaborate?

[djarumdudley]

is that really necessary at this point?

[schmenke]

Can't hurt, can it?

[djarumdudley]

who are we to judge?

[schmenke]

Can't we just provide a meaningful opinion?

[djarumdudley]

could you give that opinion in the form of a question?

[schmenke]

Isn't that the challenge?

[djarumdudley]

are you up to it?

[schmenke]

Can we first have some time to practice?

[djarumdudley]

how much time do you need?

[schmenke]

Well, for starters, can we agree on off-season test sessions?

[djarumdudley]

wouldn't those just be a bland formality of sandbagging?

[schmenke]

You don't think meaningful information could be obtained?

[djarumdudley]

is that the point?

[schmenke]

Of what?

[djarumdudley]

you still don't know?

[schmenke]

Could you please recap the previous 105 pages?

[djarumdudley]

are you sure that is necessary?

[schmenke]

Don't you think it would benefit all of us?

[djarumdudley]

who else is there?

[schmenke]

Good point... I haven't see the Captain around recently, have you?

[djarumdudley]

isn't he with the White Whale?

[schmenke]

Can you please explain?

[djarumdudley]

must I always?

[schmenke]

Don't you enjoy it?

[djarumdudley]

why don't you try it?

[schmenke]

What makes you think I haven't?

[Tazio]

What's all the commotion about?

[djarumdudley]

aren't you a little late?

[Tazio]

Do you think so?

[djarumdudley]

how should i know?

[Tazio]

Why then would you ask?

[djarumdudley]

do i have to answer everything?

[Tazio]

do you believe you have all the answers?

[djarumdudley]

how could i not?

[Tazio]

do you suffer from selective amnesia?

[djarumdudley]

what was the question?

[Tazio]

how on earth should I know?

[djarumdudley]

have you looked for it?

[Tazio]

isn't that someone else's job?

[djarumdudley]

wouldn't you think?

[Tazio]

have you actually thought that idea through?

[djarumdudley]

what would be the purpose in that?

[Tazio]

are you always this obtuse?

[djarumdudley]

can you ever answer a question?

[Tazio]

Why should I?

[djarumdudley]

don't you think it would help?

[Tazio]

is it time to spill the beans?

[djarumdudley]

isn't it inevitable?

[Tazio]

would that have a positive impact in our discourse?

[schmenke]

It's worth a try, isn't it?

[djarumdudley]

do you think it can be accomplished?

[Tazio]

Do you think we can have it saved for posterity in the Andy Warhol Museum?





“A celibate clergy is an especially good idea, because it tends to suppress any hereditary propensity toward fanaticism.” ― Carl Sagan

[Tazio]

Do you think it could be recorded and kept at The Smithsonian?






“A celibate clergy is an especially good idea, because it tends to suppress any hereditary propensity toward fanaticism.” ― Carl Sagan

[djarumdudley]

does that mean it's a historical artifact?

[iva.rpm]

Can you eat it?

[Tazio]

Do answers have any nutritional value?

[djarumdudley]

wouldn't it be brain food?

[schmenke]

Shouldn't you try to eat more Dudley?

[Tazio]

Did I here the pot call the kettel black?

[djarumdudley]

could you put the kettle on?

[Tazio]

how many lumps do you take?

[djarumdudley]

how many do you recommend?

[Tazio]

Have you had a catscan recently?

[djarumdudley]

how is that relevant?

[Tazio]

If you died of a brain malfunction who would I play "questions only" with?

[djarumdudley]

could you describe this death by brain malfunction?

[Tazio]

does a fish fart under water?

[djarumdudley]

could you stick to the subject?

[Tazio]

have you heard of Huntington's disease?

[schmenke]

What's that got to do with fish?

[Tazio]

How deep will they swim?

[djarumdudley]

would the gas propel them further?

[Tazio]

I wonder if anyone really knows?

[djarumdudley]

why don't you ask the fish?

[Tazio]

why don't you ask your mother?

[djarumdudley]

did you have to go there?

[iva.rpm]

Does it make a sound?

[Tazio]

what about a tree falling in the forrest?

[djarumdudley]

does it have an extra 'r'?

[Tazio]

are you a proof reader?

[djarumdudley]

isn't it obvious?

[schmenke]

Why do you have to be so nit-picky?

[djarumdudley]

can i just have an answer?

[schmenke]

Don't you realise you're in the wrong thread for answers?

[djarumdudley]

where can i find the answer then?

[schmenke]

Why don't you try a different thread?

[djarumdudley]

is that the answer?

[schmenke]

Well, that's a better option of looking for answers here isn't it?

[djarumdudley]

was that actually a question?

[schmenke]

Wasn't it close enough?

[djarumdudley]

couldn't you try better?

[iva.rpm]

Do you support Palmeiras?

[djarumdudley]

could you be more specific?

[schmenke]

Has this thread ended?

[djarumdudley]

is that possible?

[schmenke]

Can't someone simply provide an answer?

[djarumdudley]

do you think it's that easy?

[schmenke]

Why don't you give it a try?

[djarumdudley]

Is this what you're looking for?

[schmenke]

No, can't you try harder?

[djarumdudley]

is more effort really the solution?

[schmenke]

It can't hurt, can it?

[djarumdudley]

but do you really think it's worth it?

[schmenke]

Are you trying to solicit an answer from me?

[djarumdudley]

Aren't you capable of one?

[Donney]

Do you doubt it?

[djarumdudley]

Who Are You?

[Donney]

Can't you read my profile?

[djarumdudley]

How do you do that?

[schmenke]

Do you need instructions for everything?

[djarumdudley]

Don't you think they would help?

[schmenke]

Don't you think they're redundant?

[djarumdudley]

Isn't all of this redundant?

[schmenke]

So why do we persist?

[Donney]

So the point is, what's the point?

[djarumdudley]

is having an answer the point?

[schmenke]

Isnt' that the point of this entire thread?

[djarumdudley]

did you just repeat my question?

[D-Type]

Why did you ask that?

[djarumdudley]

can't you see why?

[schmenke]

Should we explain it in detail?

[djarumdudley]

is that the best course of action?

[schmenke]

Can you think of any other alternative?

[djarumdudley]

Could you help?

[schmenke]

Do you really think I'm qualified?

[djarumdudley]

Don't you believe in yourself?

[schmenke]

Do you?

[SGWilko]

Questions only, how does that work then?

[djarumdudley]

Did you figure it out?

[SGWilko]

Dunno what you mean?

[djarumdudley]

Why would you?

[SGWilko]

Is it cos I is black?

(Am I allowed to write that?)

[djarumdudley]

was that a twofer?

[schmenke]

Is there a set of instructions that can be passed on to Wilko?

[djarumdudley]

where should we look?

[schmenke]

Don't we have them on file?

[djarumdudley]

Do we have the time to search through that many folders?!?

[schmenke]

Can we try electronic searching on key words?

[djarumdudley]

is there a better way?

[schmenke]

Can you suggest something?

[djarumdudley]

Didn't I do that already?

[schmenke]

Can't you retry?

[djarumdudley]

Do I have to do everything?

[schmenke]

Do you need help?

[djarumdudley]

Isn't that what your here for?

[schmenke]

I thought I was supervisor?

[djarumdudley]

With that attitude?

[schmenke]

Are you questioning my authority?

[djarumdudley]

Did you remember the cheesy-poofs?

[schmenke]

What do cheesy-poofs have to do with anything?

[djarumdudley]

Do you not get references?

[schmenke]

Could you please remind me?

[djarumdudley]

Is This How You Remind Me?

File:How You Remind Me sample.ogg - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:How_You_Remind_Me_sample.ogg)

[schmenke]

Can you please elaborate?

[djarumdudley]

How much elaboration is necessary?

[schmenke]

Can't you use your judgement?

[djarumdudley]

Do you think that's for the best?

[rjbetty]

So am I allowed to have a go at this?

You do realise it's 4am in the UK?

So you have to ask a question based on the previous post?

Is what for the best?

[Joey Zyla]

How did the genius who invented this game become so good at the art of creating word games?

[djarumdudley]

Is that rhetorical?

[schmenke]

Am I the genius?

[djarumdudley]

How could we know?

[Tazio]

Why would we care?

[djarumdudley]

Isn't it obvious?

[Tazio]

How could you reach that conclusion?

[djarumdudley]

Are you assuming there's a conclusion?

[Tazio]

How is that relevant?

[djarumdudley]

Does that matter?

[schmenke]

Don't you think so?

[djarumdudley]

Is it for me to decide?

[Tazio]

Would you like that?

[schmenke]

Should we take a vote?

[djarumdudley]

Would it be a secret ballot?

[schmenke]

Would we have to display white smoke?

[Tazio]

Should we conduct a poll first?

[djarumdudley]

Perhaps we should draw straws?

[Tazio]

Can I buy your votes?

[schmenke]

With what?

[djarumdudley]

Do you know the value of a vote?

[Tazio]

What will the market bear?
