To: Balloon Animals, Dancing Cigarettes, Headache Powders, and Mrs. Moncrieff on the eve of her trepanation I have been informed that my answers were not in fact dada, but surrealism (which is usually understood to be commercial grade dada, with tenpenny nails in place of the key signature change to G in the third verse, and not warranteed against wet weather or electrical storms). Many a Cuban sandwich having passed under the bridge since then, I am ready to try again. What follows is the following. _1. What is the circumference of a question mark?_ 12 to 18 decibels, unless the sordine mute is in place, in which case the thing may just leak kerosene and have to be put in the side yard. _2. Name an animal that didn’t drop the bowling ball._ The serrated skint. _3. Jell-O pudding pops [Bill Cosby] Umm BOY scrumpple umm yeah [/Bill Cosby]_ Scrumpple is seldom made of boys, the traditional recipe calling for a broiler chicken and thirteen dozen art gum erasers. _4. Name something._ DeLendrecie’s Parameter (defined as the number of jelly babies necessary to fully absorb the impact of a 4-8-4 locomotive). _5. If the dog was furry, where did the gun deposit it’s quarter._ Oh, its the damn dog again? (Pardon me, the pneumatic tubes are backing up. I’ll return to this post later.) ---

The pneumatic tubes have been fed their Dots, the ambergris cufflinks have been extricated from the crankcase, and here we go again. _6. Night is green and so it went._ “So it went,” mused Leila, watching herself set slowly over the far western hills, “and so it always goes. But something—” she paused, choking back a half-drowned hermit crab she’d mistaken for a sigh and breathed in—“something about this Kellogg-Briand Pact just smells of hazelnuts.” _7. You must time the chair public down the tribal instinct._ Don’t we, though? Don’t we all, when sneer comes to exfoliate? _8. 3+3= "stella!!!’_ True, for values of “8.” roughly equal to seven. (If “8.” is taken as an absolute value, “stella!!!” is therefore flat, and so, by the Theorem of Cross Purposes, is Mongolia, which makes you wonder what all those explorers have been climbing up and getting frostbite all these years.) _9. Name the wandering vision._ “Harkavy’s Carpathian-American Tea Room. Dumplings Our Specialty. Telephone RHeumatoid 426.” _10. Where is the end of a robot bridge?_ Always, but not usually, after the beginning. ---

I reject this thread. Despite its absurdist pretense, this thread follows the same artificial framing paradigm as more bourgeois threads and threatens to desensitize readers to the inanity and purposelessness of the modern Zeitgeist. I also reject my own post in this thread. To agree with my post is to oppose my post. Adad dada dada dada ---
