What is this Rule of Threes that was mentioned earlier? Are there actual rules for this game? Or are we all just making it up as we go? ---

Will you Dopers keep this thread alive for me until tomorrow morning, when I’ll answer JayLa’s questions about the Rules of Threes? Or would one of the other overly dramatic Dopers care to do it for me? Should I have rethought that last sentance? ---

Didn’t you read the first posts? Pinky: Aren’t you aware that I need to know something about how wonderful you are before the ass-kissing can commence? And that I always wonder: “What’s in it for me?” And is anyone else thinking of the immortal words of Socrates, who said, “I drank What?” 😃 And is anyone watching **me** duck and run? ---

Did I remember to tell Swiddles not to worry? Did I remember to tell her that I’m thinking of her? Or did I hit post reply before I finished my thought? Did I apologize to struuter for ignoring her question on page 2? Did I say, “I’m fine, how is your day going?” Did Shadowfox ever get Tylenol? Did Milo ever find his? Did I tell Struuter I thought everyone knew where the handbasket was going? Why does this post sound like an interior monologue? ---

Is it really so possible that soulsling can miss the going ons of the board so easily? Can he possibly avoid the distractions of real life any longer? How strongly does he miss the wit and wonder of the illustrious SwimmingRiddles and the charm and fun of Pink Slinky? Wherever does one wish to be kissed that I would never hesitate to fulfill such a fantasy? ---

Would someone like to ask me if **I’d** like some pie? Is it strange that I read these questions with Kevin Spacey’s voice and intonation in mind? ---

soul, can you still do those lovely things with your tongue? Is that a stupid question? Is it dangerous for me to ask what kind of pie you prefer? Will I regret inquiring? Did you know that Kevin Spacey could say anything he wanted to me and I wouldn’t mind? Does that make me a bad person? Can I ask you not to answer that? Oh, and, how are you this morning soul? ---

Is the hasty, though illustrious, SwimmingRiddles really trying to convince me that she did not mean that question rhetorically? Has SwimmingRiddles ever come in contact with a person who didn’t know who needed teeth, anyway? Why didn’t you notice that I already had one point and that the two points I mentioned was a cumulative total? And why didn’t you take the point for that fat, hanging declarative sentence I gave you about twenty posts ago? ---
