Answer a question with a question game

[Frog march]

You might have see this on "who's line is it anyway" on TV
It is a game where you just answer the last person's question with your own question.





What will be the out come of this thead, do you think?

[Titana]

Does anyone believe it will have a good out come just as I believe?


(is that the way Its supposed to be played...???.....:D )



Titana

[Frog march]

Does lightning strike twice?


edit-perhaps I asked the wrong question.

I'll start again.



Is Paris nice in the springtime?

[Swift]

What is your definition of nice?

[Frog march]

how would you describe daffodils?

[Lance]

What are daffodils?

[SeanF]

How can you not know what daffodils are?

[Lance]

Do you not understand that I am severely flower challenged?

[SeanF]

Well, why didn't you say so before?

[Lance]

Why didn't you make it clear that you didn't know?

[Swift]

Why didn't you know that he didn't know?

[Titana]

Why are you all asking so many times?????......:D

[GDwarf]

Why are you asking why we're asking with all those question marks? (Uh oh, I just sowed the seed for infinite recursion...)

[Frog march]

what kind of a question is that?

[Swift]

Are there different kinds of questions?

[Frog march]

did the Titanic hit an iceberg?

[Lance]

You didn't hear?

[Moose]

Is the gossip juicy?

[Swift]

Isn't that what People magazine said?

[Moose]

Would you happen to be a paparazzo?

[Gruesome]

What is a paparazzo?

[Moose]

Can anyone help this person out?

[Swift]

I don't know, which way did he come in?

[Moose]

Wasn't that the closet door?

[dvb]

Are you saying that he's coming out of the closet? :confused:

[Moose]

Is it too late to change my question?

[dvb]

Who are you asking?

[farmerjumperdon]

Way too silly right from the start?

[Swift]

Do you have a continuing problem with silly threads?

[Lance]

Isn't it obvious?

[antoniseb]

Did you hope this would be as clever and meta as the Questions game in Rosencrantz And Guilderstern Are Dead?

[Swift]

Wasn't that a play?

[Halcyon Dayz]

Or a movie?

[Gruesome]

Did they make a book out of the movie?

[Swift]

Don't you mean a movie out of the book?

[Frog march]

was or wasn't there a book?

[mahesh]

could you repeat that?

[Frog march]

did you computer crash?

[Robert Andersson]

Why do you interrupt with irrelevant questions?

[Eric Vaxxine]

It's not nearly obvious, is it?

[Swift]

Isn't it more obvious when you right it down?

[Eric Vaxxine]

Write it down right, right?

[Robert Andersson]

What do you mean by "it"?

[Gruesome]

What do you mean by "what"?

[Robert Andersson]

What do you mean by "mean"?

[Titana]

Why are you asking what he means by mean?

[Lance]

Isn't it clear that he doesn't know what "means" means?

[Swift]

Does he mean mean as in meaning an average?

[Lance]

Is it mean to think "mean" means mean as in "meaning"?

[Peter Canuck]

Who Are All You People?

[Robert Andersson]

Why do you wanna know?

[Eric Vaxxine]

Did we almost find the meaning in that recent banter?

[GDwarf]

I dunno, did we?

[Eric Vaxxine]

If I mean what I say, does it matter if it's the truth or lies?

[Frog march]

do you mean that?

[Eric Vaxxine]

I can't quite remember, is that unusual?

[mahesh]

didn't whatisname sing it?

[Eric Vaxxine]

It's not unusual to lost by everyone. Is that what Tom Jowens said?

[mahesh]

que?

[Eric Vaxxine]

Are you reading this thread?

[mahesh]

has the post arrived yet?

[Eric Vaxxine]

Isn't it on your desk?

[Lance]

Hey, what was that?

[Frog march]

faster than a speeding bullet?

[Robert Andersson]

Are you suggesting FTSB is possible, in spite of current theories?

[GDwarf]

Are you suggesting it isn't?

[Lance]

Why would anyone think it isn't?

[Robert Andersson]

Do you mean Zweistein was wrong?

[Eric Vaxxine]

Wrong?

[Frog march]

Didn't Zweisteins's theory need adjusting?

[Eric Vaxxine]

Adjusting?

[Frog march]

A jus' t'ing, didn't you know I knew a bit of Jamacan?

[Sweety]

Am I replying in right thread?

[Eric Vaxxine]

Do you know the old Jamaican Beer Can Bacon thing?

[mahesh]

Jamaica horse drink?

[Eric Vaxxine]

Yes. Does ANY of this make sense?

[mahesh]

neeeeiigghh sense?

[Eric Vaxxine]

Is this the answer Equestrian with Equestrian thread?

[Robert Andersson]

Why can't you people just answer the questions?

[Swift]

Didn't I just answer that question?

[Peter Canuck]

Do you the first question or the last question?

[Swift]

Didn't you leave a word out of that question?

[mahesh]

which word?

[Eric Vaxxine]

Which question?

[ToSeek]

Was it Peter's question?

[Swift]

Wasn't it obviously Peter's question?

[GDwarf]

Didn't you think it wasn't Peter's question?

[antoniseb]

If it was Peter's question, then how many roads must a man walk down?

[Eric Vaxxine]

I should question the sense in looking for an answer to a question referring to another question, shouldn't I?

[Swift]

Aren't you always sensible?

[Eric Vaxxine]

A bit wordy though, do you agree?

[ToSeek]

Why would you call it wordy?

[Swift]

Don't you think that more than 10 words is too wordy?

[antoniseb]

If it was the most succinct way to ask a question, would fifty words be wordy, or just enough to show the complexities of our language and the limitations we have trying to express our must subtle ideas in a forum in which anyone and everyone might be ready to misunderstand a shorter query?

[Swift]

What?

[Lance]

Do you need antoniseb to explain it to you?

[Eric Vaxxine]

Perhaps if Antoniseb created a diagram it would help us understand the idea?

[Frog march]

do you mean a 3D diagram?

[Eric Vaxxine]

Is a 3D diagram possible in this 2D 'net world?

[Frog march]

Do you want him to send you a balsa wood model?

[Eric Vaxxine]

How do I know what I want?

[antoniseb]

Do you mean 'how do you know what you desire' or 'how do you know what you lack'?

[Eric Vaxxine]

How do you know what desire you lack?

[Swift]

Are you saying I'm lacking?

[Eric Vaxxine]

What do you want to hear me say?

[Swift]

Why is it about what I want?

[Gruesome]

What's with all the questions?

[Swift]

Don't you think that asking questions will lead to knowledge?

[antoniseb]

Is knowledge better than a lifetime supply of pie?

[ToSeek]

What kind of pie?

[Titana]

Could it be Pumpkin Pie?......:p

[Swift]

Couldn't you make it Sweet Potato Pie?

[Lance]

Why are we talking about pies now?

[antoniseb]

Are you more hungry or ignorant?

[ToSeek]

Which would you prefer?

[mahesh]

please, may i have a slice of apple pie while i am reading?

[Gruesome]

Did you eat all your vegetables?

[mahesh]

did you give me any?

[Lance]

Did someone else eat them while you weren't looking?

[ToSeek]

Is that the person retching over in the corner?

[antoniseb]

Is that partially digested Brussels Sprouts I smell?

[Lance]

Can't you tell the difference between the aroma of partially digested Brussels Sprouts and the lovely scent of lemon sorbet?

[Swift]

Are you trying to make me sick?

[Lance]

Do you expect me to know that lemon sorbet makes you sick?

[mahesh]

hey you, so where's my pizza?

[Eric Vaxxine]

I thought you didn't like Pizza?

[mahesh]

are you asking a question or making a statement?

[Gruesome]

What's the difference?

[Eric Vaxxine]

Can I question your statement about me asking a question or making a steakment?

[Swift]

Did you know that there is no such word as "steakment"?

[Eric Vaxxine]

Did you know that the word Gullable isn't in the dictionary?

[antoniseb]

What's another word for Thesaurus?

[mahesh]

Roget's?
can i put this in interogative form? or aren't i allowed?

[Eric Vaxxine]

Why would you want to do that?

[Swift]

Wouldn't put it in the form of a statement, rather than a question, be against the rules of this game?

[ToSeek]

What are rules for, anyway?

[Eric Vaxxine]

Rules are made to order aren't they?

[antoniseb]

If we permit compound sentences with statements followed by questions, wouldn't that make this more pointless than the word association game?

[Eric Vaxxine]

Is it possible to answer a question with a question in a pointlessness manner?

[mahesh]

are you serious?

[Eric Vaxxine]

Do I sound serious?

[Swift]

How do I know what you sound like based upon your typing?

[Eric Vaxxine]

Shall I type more seriously?

[Lance]

Do you think you could?

[Swift]

How about using a "Serious" smilie :neutral: ?

[antoniseb]

Would the question be less meaningful if he wasn't serious when he typed it?

[Gruesome]

Does it matter?

[ToSeek]

Does it matter if it matters?

[Swift]

If it didn't matter, would that be anti-matter?

[Lance]

Should we put them together to see if they blow up?

[antoniseb]

Would that prove it to people who think antimatter is a hoax?

[crosscountry]

do I want to join this thread?

[mahesh]

don't you know , you are most welcome?

[Eric Vaxxine]

How far is 30 minutes by car?

[mahesh]

did you check the oil?

[Eric Vaxxine]

Is that your considered answer Mahesh?

[mahesh]

would you like me to reiterate?

[Eric Vaxxine]

Can you elucidate?

[crosscountry]

what does Euclid have to do with this?

[mahesh]

are we being tangential?

[crosscountry]

who are we?

[Swift]

Who wants to know?

[ToSeek]

Don't you think it's the person asking the question who wants to know?

[crosscountry]

why do you ask?

[antoniseb]

So, was it Euclid who wanted to know?

[Peter Canuck]

Have you asked that before?

[antoniseb]

Is it appropriate to ask a meta question about rules compliance?

[ToSeek]

What if it isn't appropriate?

[Swift]

Couldn't you do something, since you are a moderator?

[antoniseb]

Wouldn't it require a moderator who hasn't participated in this thread?

[crosscountry]

To whom are you referring?

[Swift]

Don't you think he is referring to himself and ToSeek?

[ToSeek]

Are you talking about me?

[Arneb]

Can't you stand the idea of someone talking about someone else (http://www.bautforum.com/showthread.php?t=40464) ;) ?

[crosscountry]

who are we to ask?

[antoniseb]

Is it by asking or answering that we establish who we really are?

[Lance]

Can we really ever know who we really are?

[antoniseb]

Are you trying to prove my point?

[Lance]

Should I stop?

[ToSeek]

What do we have to do to get you to stop?

[crosscountry]

how can I beat ToSeek's last question?

[crosscountry]

why do you ask so many questions?

[Arneb]

Now who's asking this?

[crosscountry]

who wants to know?

[Arneb]

Shouldn't everyone?

[antoniseb]

How long has it been since we were talking about something other than the constantly recurring "who wants to know"?

[Arneb]

Isn't that a bit off-topic?

[crosscountry]

is there a topic?

[Arneb]

How could we possiby tell?

[ToSeek]

Why don't we talk about astronomy for a change?

[turbo-1]

Why don't we talk about astronomy for a change?Do you mean a change for astronomy?

[Arneb]

Change for the good or for the bad astronomy?

[antoniseb]

Do rotating black holes have singularities?

[The_Radiation_Specialist]

Does anyone think antoniseb just asked a question I have no idea about?

[AitchJay]

How are we meant to answer that?

[crosscountry]

Did you like the Black Hole question better?

[Lance]

Can we talk about llamas next?

[antoniseb]

What is the chemical that makes the pungent odor in llama spit?

[Titana]

Does anyone know the answer to antoniseb's question?

[Arneb]

Do you think he even expects us to know?

[antoniseb]

Shouldn't I expect that someone with a thing for llama's would know?

[crosscountry]

all right, who has llamas?

[Lance]

Do you really think I'm that much into llamas?

[crosscountry]

who was talking to you?

[The_Radiation_Specialist]

isnt this a public message board?

[crosscountry]

isn't is past your bed time?

[antoniseb]

Can it ever be passed the bedtime of llamas or rotating black holes?

[Swift]

Do black holes have bedtimes?

[crosscountry]

don't black holes evaporate?

[ToSeek]

When can we talk about pointed sticks?

[Titana]

Why would you want to talk about pointed sticks?

[ToSeek]

Isn't it important to learn how to defend yourself against pointed sticks?

[Lance]

Can you use pointed sticks to defend yourself against llamas?

[crosscountry]

aren't there more important things?

[Lance]

Do you mean more important things than pointed sticks while trying to fend off a llama attack?

[crosscountry]

were you reading my mind?

[antoniseb]

Would reading your mind help me against the onslaught of all these llama's?

[Swift]

Why are you so worried about llamas?

[antoniseb]

If all I have are sharp sticks, doesn't that make everything look kind of like a llama?

[crosscountry]

Are you talking nonsense?

[antoniseb]

Are you willing to talk sense about llamas, sharp sticks, and/or rotating black holes?

[ToSeek]

If you tossed both a llama and a pointed stick at a rotating black hole, which would cross the event horizon first?

[Swift]

Have you ever tried to toss a llama?

[ToSeek]

How much would you pay me to try?

[antoniseb]

Would it be easier to toss a lama?

[Lance]

Have you ever seen a tossed llama toss his cookies?

[ToSeek]

Wouldn't that make a great circus act?

[rahuldandekar]

What circus act involves Llamas, Sharp sticks & black holes?

[afterburner]

circ de soleil?

[Lance]

Haven't you heard of The llama and camel act at the
Clyde Beatty-Cole Brothers Circus (http://www.mountlehmanllamas.com/camel-llama-circus.jpg)?

[rahuldandekar]

Why would I have heard of it?

[crosscountry]

Why wouldn't you have?

[rahuldandekar]

How could I have?

[Lance]

Wouldn't you guess it would be as easy as Googling the terms "llama" and "circus"?

[rahuldandekar]

But can't I google "Killing Llamas with sharp sticks so they toss their cookies" instead?

[Eric Vaxxine]

I thought everyone knew that when sharp stick wielding, cookie tossing South American llamas are confronted by humans with pointed sticks and a wry smile, they panic and scarper?

[ToSeek]

Wouldn't you?

[Eric Vaxxine]

Are you serious?

[antoniseb]

Would it be better if he were Sirius?

[Eric Vaxxine]

Is Sirius a good place to star t?

[rahuldandekar]

Are puns always necessary?

[Lance]

Wasn't it better when we were talking about llamas and sharp sticks?

[Eric Vaxxine]

Farmers and Sharp Chicks?

[ToSeek]

Have you heard the one about the farmer, the sharp chick, and the llama going into a bar?

[crosscountry]

Have you ever told a joke before?

[Eric Vaxxine]

Can you tell me the joke again?

[crosscountry]

what joke?

[Lance]

Could everyone please let him finish the joke?

[Swift]

Did you hear the one about the BAUTer who never finished a joke?

[Lance]

Will you tell it to me if I haven't?
