No, really—what's with that?
 
Posted by StigLarson (Member # 5579) on :
 
Why do you ask?
 
Posted by sndrake (Member # 4941) on :
 
Who wants to know?
 
Posted by StigLarson (Member # 5579) on :
 
Have you got an alternative?
 
Posted by ae (Member # 3291) on :
 
What's it to you?
 
Posted by Maethoriell (Member # 3805) on :
 
Isn't this a question thread?
 
Posted by ae (Member # 3291) on :
 
Are you kidding me?
 
Posted by Da_Goat (Member # 5529) on :
 
Can anybody else see where this is headed?
 
Posted by fugu13 (Member # 2859) on :
 
Yes.
 
Posted by Narnia (Member # 1071) on :
 
Why did you just crash this thread fugu?
 
Posted by fugu13 (Member # 2859) on :
 
Because.
 
Posted by rivka (Member # 4859) on :
 
Why do people think "because" is a real answer?
 
Posted by Lalo (Member # 3772) on :
 
Wow, isn't Fugu a dick?
 
Posted by fiazko (Member # 5812) on :
 
what is real?
 
Posted by fugu13 (Member # 2859) on :
 
Love.
 
Posted by Marek (Member # 5404) on :
 
Why does this thread remind me of whose line is it anyway?
 
Posted by Hobbes (Member # 433) on :
 
Whose line is it anyways?

Hobbes [Smile]
 
Posted by rivka (Member # 4859) on :
 
Mine.

Why are you looking at me like that?
 
Posted by Hobbes (Member # 433) on :
 
What's it to you pilgrim?

Hobbes [Smile]
 
Posted by rivka (Member # 4859) on :
 
Oh, are we doing impressions now?
 
Posted by Mr.Funny (Member # 4467) on :
 
Why not?
 
Posted by Morbo (Member # 5309) on :
 
Because it's wrong to answer a question with a question?
 
Posted by rivka (Member # 4859) on :
 
Who says that's wrong?

Don't you know it's traditional in some cultures?
 
Posted by Rappin' Ronnie Reagan (Member # 5626) on :
 
Which cultures would those be?
Why am I up at 2 am replying to this thread?
 
Posted by ae (Member # 3291) on :
 
Why are all my successful threads fluff threads?

Is it because I never start any others?

Posted by rivka (Member # 4859) on :
 
What, you don't know any cultures that answer a question with another question?
 
Posted by fugu13 (Member # 2859) on :
 
Maybe.
 
Posted by rivka (Member # 4859) on :
 
What makes you think "maybe" is any more of an answer than "because"?
 
Posted by Teshi (Member # 5024) on :
 
Is "maybe" a better answer than "because"?
 
Posted by JonnyNotSoBravo (Member # 5715) on :
 
Is "maybe" a better question than "because"?
 
Posted by sndrake (Member # 4941) on :
 
Possibly?
 
Posted by Da_Goat (Member # 5529) on :
 
Isn't "possibly" more of a statement than a question?
 
Posted by rivka (Member # 4859) on :
 
Perhaps?
 
Posted by fugu13 (Member # 2859) on :
 
:-P
 
Posted by Ryan Hart (Member # 5513) on :
 
Don't you think this thread is the greatest?
 
Posted by JonnyNotSoBravo (Member # 5715) on :
 
In terms of length, isn't the last post thread 112 times greater?
 
Posted by sndrake (Member # 4941) on :
 
Is length more important than content?
 
Posted by rivka (Member # 4859) on :
 
O_O

Is this going to be one of those threads?
 
Posted by Da_Goat (Member # 5529) on :
 
It's headed that way, isn't it?

Don't you just love redundancy?
 
Posted by fugu13 (Member # 2859) on :
 
No.
 
Posted by Da_Goat (Member # 5529) on :
 
Why are you being so pessimistic?
 
Posted by rivka (Member # 4859) on :
 
Awww, who thinks fugu needs a HUG?

(((((fugu)))))

All together now! [Group Hug] fugu [Group Hug]

How's that? Better?
 
Posted by BelladonnaOrchid (Member # 188) on :
 
Who thinks Fugu suffers from sexual repression? [Wink]
 
Posted by ae (Member # 3291) on :
 
Isn't the real question "who doesn't?"

Or is that too ambiguous?
 
Posted by Anna (Member # 2582) on :
 
Or is the real question "who cares abourt fugu's sexual life ?" ?
 
Posted by fugu13 (Member # 2859) on :
 
Heh.
 
Posted by Anna (Member # 2582) on :
 
Does fugu care that I don't care for his sexual life ?
 
Posted by fugu13 (Member # 2859) on :
 
Unlikely.
 
Posted by JonnyNotSoBravo (Member # 5715) on :
 
Does fugu have a "sexual life"?

Can fugu's life be described as "sexual"?

Does fugu have a life, "sexual" or not?

Does fugu think?
 
Posted by Storm Saxon (Member # 3101) on :
 
If this turns into another 'begging the question' thread, I'm going to come to ae's house and pee in her shoe. [Smile]
 
Posted by fugu13 (Member # 2859) on :
 
No.
 
Posted by rivka (Member # 4859) on :
 
Wouldn't that be fairly unsanitary?
 
Posted by rivka (Member # 4859) on :
 
O_O

Now he's answering questions before they're even ASKED?
 
Posted by fugu13 (Member # 2859) on :
 
Yes.
 
Posted by rivka (Member # 4859) on :
 
Ah, so then that must be the answer to:

Does fugu get a kick out of raining on others' parades?
 
Posted by fugu13 (Member # 2859) on :
 
:-P

I think that hatrack has a lot of posting style trends. If someone comes up with a thread topic that effectively lures in a lot of viewers, then his/her style is immediately copied by others.

Take, for instance, Ralphie's posting style. She tends to write in this style "<vaguely allude to topic with wit> or, <what the thread is really about>." She had all kinds of copiers. She is also Nerdy McDorkenstein, but we don't need to get into that here.

So when did you become so great in the art of analyzation (it's an art 'cause I say it's an art, bucko)?
 
Posted by fugu13 (Member # 2859) on :
 
Yesterday.
 
Posted by rivka (Member # 4859) on :
 
Isn't that a great song? [Smile]
 
Posted by fugu13 (Member # 2859) on :
 
Yes.
 
Posted by Da_Goat (Member # 5529) on :
 
I was talking to Primal Curve...eh?
 
Posted by rivka (Member # 4859) on :
 
Who?
 
Posted by ae (Member # 3291) on :
 
Could this get anymore confusing?

And why does everyone think I'm female?
 
Posted by fugu13 (Member # 2859) on :
 
Zen.
