Can you keep a premise?
Can you skin a lightbulb?
Can you swallow a pocketful of blood without upsetting your breakfast?
Can you do what the tucans do?
Can I do it too?
Do you want me to?
Do you wonder where your mind wanders?
do you jig when you're on a jag?
Do your teeth swell up to golfballs and you must only eat blue things for red will make them shatter?
Are you okay with this?
Are you listening to what the wind says at midnight?
Are your feet the feet of fortune or are they hoofs of hard-upedness?
Are your organs fully serviced or are they out of tune?
Are you getting all this down?
Can you keep a premise?
I suppose that, being the first question, this is supposed to be the most important, I'll take it that way even if you didn't mean it so.
But of course, then the follow up questions should have established a premise... do they? What is the premise? Is the premise the nature of paradox, or... perhaps the collection of nonsensical questions.
But, then, I offer the paradox that has troubled me my whole life. The other questions do not matter, but:
Why?
Can you skin a lightbulb?
Sharp enough knife, skillful enough hand. Is it possible? I do not doubt it. I cannot personally do so.
Can you swallow a pocketful of blood without upsetting your breakfast?
Is it my own blood? Right out of the pocket sounds a little nauseating.
Can you do what the tucans do?
Probably some of the things that a tucan can do. I don't know about all of the things.
Can I do it too?
Irrelevant, I don't know. That's your problem.
Do you want me to?
What is the nature of human desire? I don't want anything, I require food and shelter to some degree, but want? What is the nature of want? I do not feel it necesarry for you to do the things that tucans do, I find such a question irrelevant, this is the internet. I wouldn't be able to see you do it. If you posted a youtube video I would probably not watch it.
Do you wonder where your mind wanders?
I'm there with it.
do you jig when you're on a jag?
Do you zig when you should zag?
Do your teeth swell up to golfballs and you must only eat blue things for red will make them shatter?
No.
Are you okay with this?
Yes.
Are you listening to what the wind says at midnight?
It is taunting me. (Tuesdays, Thursdays though, it gets into this supportive sort of "manic" state) I prefer the taunting.
Are your feet the feet of fortune or are they hoofs of hard-upedness?
What is the nature of your hands?
Are your organs fully serviced or are they out of tune?
But, what of your spirit?
Are you getting all this down?
No, you lost me early on. I told you that.
Can you keep a premise?
Sure.
Can you skin a lightbulb?
Only if the lightbulb wants you to?
Can you swallow a pocketful of blood without upsetting your breakfast?
If I was a vampire.
Can you do what the tucans do?
You mean provide a nutricious breakfast like Toucan Sam.
Can I do it too?
You can do anything you set your mind to!
Do you want me to?
You put it wherever the voice of God leads you.
Do you wonder where your mind wanders?
Nah, it's in the gutter most of the time.
do you jig when you're on a jag?
I can't stand, my legs are broken.
Do your teeth swell up to golfballs and you must only eat blue things for red will make them shatter?
Sure.
Are you okay with this?
I get by.
Are you listening to what the wind says at midnight?
Yeah it goes, "pffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffff"
Are your feet the feet of fortune or are they hoofs of hard-upedness?
LOL
Are your organs fully serviced or are they out of tune?
Oh my organs get fully serviced baby, by your Mom! Okay, that was immature.
Are you getting all this down?
Is this a poem? Am I being punked?
Do you want to try this over?
maybe he's not a fan of tejun...
I am so confused.
I've been confused since before I read this thread.
But this thread didn't help.
Am I the only one asking questions? Are there any right answers or are you unwilling to be wrong? Are you a fool for asking?
Have you heard this one? What is the roughness of the skin on a spirit? Do you know how to handle one? Do you hold it too close? Do you know when to let go? How do you live with yourself? Who are you talking to? Are you still there?
But what sort of sustainability could such a thread posses?
What would be the point?
do you walk to work or take a lunch?
I think Renfield has a case of the existentials.
Isn't it obvious? Doesn't the thread title tell you enough? What more does poor Reny have to do? What's wrong with you people?
If this thread makes sense to you, then you are speaking some language I do not understand.
I think you can only answer with questions, like in Whose Line Is It Anyway?
Are you sure that your heart hasn't expired?
Have you won the grand prize yet? Or have you gathered your toys and went home?
Can you hear those who don't want to be heard?
Is it far away, where you're going?
Is this enough for you? Or you're still hoping for change?
Can footsteps fall without disturbing the dust? Is that what you're about? Or are you screaming in the face of a flower to see how fast she averts her eyes?
Is the feast over? Who is left? Who has never arrived?
Am I boring you? Would you like blood instead? Do you dare let your guard down for one second? Is the mirror too foggy?
Am I done? Do I dare stop? Who will stop me? Will you slap me back?
Did I play the game right Renfield?
wtf?
Do you think it's contagious?
Keep asking questions? Never provide answers? Fundamentally alter otherwise imperative statements using only punctuation?
But what is an answer if not a question that hasn't been considered yet? The next level, how else do we progress our knowledge? Has there ever been another way but to let our answers turn to questions?
Are we supposed to answer questions with questions? Wasn't that what my grandmother told me never to do? Is the root of question the same as quest? Does that make sense? Does this? Or this? Is that even a sentence? Is this? Do we love it or leave it? Shove it or heave it? Wove it or weave it?
Why don't we use that upside-down question mark at the beginning of our sentences like the Spanish? ¿Wouldn't that give you a little head's up as to what to expect?
¿Doesn't that make life just that much much easier?
¿Do I know what a rhetorical question is?
- Homer
And by the way, why won't the US adopt the metric system? Is that rhetorical too?
Why won't the rest of the world convert to standard?
Why can't we just all agree it's 'soccer'?
And what's the deal with Rugby?
Anybody want a peanut?
Where did you find it?
Have you looked in your ear lately?
when did this thread get so?
Why don't I remember this scene in the movie? (am I allowed double question mark??)
Avery, which game uses feet only, therefore being worthy of the name "football"?
Hahah. Liana got you there! I have no problem with football being with a foot. Football in America should be called Big Muscular Guys with Pigskin bending Over Ball.
Will Danny ever get it?
Or does he challenge the prohibition against declarative sentences on purpose?
Why isn't American football called something or the other? Isn't that a question? Doesn't it get at the same sort of point? Whats so hard?
Why did Danny interupt the flow?
Dont you think thats pretty low?
Has this intrigued me a bit?
Why not have a sit?
Are the questions suppose to make sense and sometimes not?
What is your thought?
Should you try to make them rhyme?
Do you really have that time?
Where did this question thing come from?
Are you going to tell me or sit on your bum?
Do you guys think this is a good exercise for your brain?
What is there to gain?
Are you staring at your cursor blinking?
Why not start writing and thinking?
There's only one question to this thread:
Why?
Why question these things?
Why is nobody texting me back?
When is it appropriate to cry?
Why not?
Why ask why?
Are we born just to die?
Or maybe fry?
does this thought make you cry?
do you believe the end is nigh?
what is your reply?
What did you just do?
Why does my hand hurt so much?
What would you do for a Klondike bar?
Why must it be so gloomy out?
Why does Lily keep running in and out?
What is the weather in your area today?
Why am I not revising my rat story? (???)
Why am I growing older by the minute?
Am I running out of time?
Haven't I said that before?
Can someone help me solve my enormous, unsolvable life dilemmas?
enough, did you really want to know how sunny it is in my South Texas area?
What do you call it when the weather is a little cold, but it's sunny and pleasant outside still?
Do you call it California weather?
California?
Isn't that what everybody says? Anyone here from California to clarify?
Why does Raelynn spend so much time studying instead of being here, with us, to answer our questions about California? Do you think she knows Arnold Schwartzenneger? Would she know where I can find some steroids? Or hgh?
I wonder if she is working on her anthology story?
does she think about us?
Does she wish we lived closer so we could all meet at subway for five dollar footlongs?
Who was phone?
Why's Waldo?
If I said you had a beautiful body would you hold a soldering iron next to my eyeball?
When will Britney Spears die, Jesus?
Why am I still naked?
