New Game: Who wants to play the Questions game?

Do you know that I’ve never had another woman call me ‘darling’ before?
Where did all these birds come from?

Would you agree that since they were NOT allowed in the movie, it would be fair to NOT admit them here?

Don’t YOU know me at all, darling? :smiley:

Are you aware that ability is subjective, and for the veteran Dopers to judge?

** stuuter **: Haven’t you hung out with us overly-dramatic theater types before?

** Trion ** Don’t you think that ignorance is bliss?

**Swiddles ** Don’t you think that this was a play before it was a movie?

Why would you assume I was a Carpenter’s fan? Does one need to be a fan to quote a song? Am I starting to sound snippy? Why would you assume I was being snippy? Can one determine the degree of snippiness inherent in a statement simply from reading it on a computer screen? Am I acting paranoid? Why would you accuse me of being paranoid? Whose gonna get these damn birds away?

Doesn’t Swiddles remember that, by the rules in the play, a repetition costs her a point?

Moe: Will you please calm down?
Swiddles: Will you please calm these birds?

Is everyone reading this thread with a valley girl accent in mind?

Are we following those rules? Would you agree that since they were NOT allowed in the movie, it would NOT be fair to admit people into the game who didn’t know they weren’t allowed because they hadn’t seen the movie with the questions about which we’re asking, don’t ya think?

** Swiddles ** Who are you, when you aready have one point, to think that you can judge me? Don’t you have a high ego?

Retorical. Doesn’t etgaw1 know the correct grammer would have been: “Doesn’t Swiddles know this was a play before it was a movie?” One point.

Is etgaw1 aware that Swiddles is an actor, and film minor, and therefore very aware of the work of one Tom Stoppard, who premiered R&GRD in the early 60s on Broadway? Why is etgaw1 such an arrogant newbie ass?

Retorical. Can etgaw1 speak the English lanuage with any coherence at all? Isn’t etgaw1 aware that the word “ego” comes from the Latin meaning “I,” and was popularized by Sigmund Freud’s theory on the subconcious, the ego being the self? Is etgaw1 therefore aware that by using the word “high” as an adjective, he/she is incorrect? Does everyone else agree that if etgaw1 had been using proper English, he/she would have used the correct quantitative adjective: large or big? Two points.

How many people think etgaw1 is asking to receive the wrath of Swiddles in the Pit?

Do the other Dopers think the best thing for me to do is DNFTT? Would the rest of you agree to do the same?

Double negative. One point. :slight_smile:

Isn’t it obvious that Swiddles was going for the Rule of Threes? Is Iolanthe familiar with this rule, which states that everything is funnier in threes? And is Iolanthe aware of Swiddles’ attempts to be as funny as possible, as often as possible? Don’t YOU know me at all, darling? :slight_smile: Doesn’t that last usage of the phrase make the rule of threes, thereby establishing that I was not merely being repetitive?

ps: Isn’t this my game? Can’t I make up my own godammed rules?

Where is everyone?

Where do you want me, gorgeous? :wink:

Swiddles, isn’t it obvious that if it’s your game you get to make the rules?
Why is this person picking on you?
Did you notice that the birds got scared off? I wonder who did that?

Swiddles, don’t you know that I’m at work, and can’t post as often as I’d like?

Are we having fun yet?

Triple negative. Rule of threes. One point.

As an avocational performer, how could Iolanthe not be aware of the comedy Rule of Three? Doesn’t Swiddles know that Iolanthe is the title character of a comic operetta? Where does Swiddles think Iolanthe got her user name from? But how could Iolanthe not respond to Swiddles charm and comedic wit?

Can Iolanthe compete with the lovely Struuter (who gave Iolanthe some useful advice) with kissing up to Swiddles?

Swiddles, may I insert a small hi-jack?
Iolanthe, what useful advice did I give? Was it, perchance (can you guess how long I’ve wanted to use that?), in the name thread?
Can we join forces in gratuitously complimenting Swiddles? Do you mind if I decline any competition?

Would one accept the excuse that I was reading about Twelfth Night? Could the excuse be made more palatable by noting that Twelfth Night is by Shakespeare, who wrote Hamlet, and without Hamlet there would be no R&G are Dead, and this thread might not exist? Or is Questions independent of Stoppard?

Can I be sick now? :smiley:

Can we talk about something other than Swiddles’ obvious charm, grace and intelligence?
