You’re not really going to make me explain it, are you?
Are you passing up the opportunity to offer an explanation other than the obvious one?
Well, would you believe it was because my exceptional defensive prowess would invariably force opponents to take shots that would hit nothing at all?
How could I possibly believe anything other than that considering how defensive you tend to be?
In that case, what do you think about the matter of whether cats have souls?
Isn’t that really a moot point? After all, how can one prove whether cats have souls or not?
In that case, how 'bout them Eagles?
Couldn’t we discuss something equally edifying, such as the origins of Danish nationhood?
Just speaking strictly for myself, how could I possibly object to that?
Well, what do you have to say about Danish nationhood, Cardigan (or anyone else)?
Are you ok with me studying the possible ramifications and taking it under advisement?
All in favor of boson starting the aforementioned study? Do we have a second?
Well, sure, I’ll second, but… do we really need parliamentary procedure in a Straight Dope thread?
Hasn’t that question come up before? What was the consensus then?
Are there any drawbacks to using it?
Couldn’t it be unduly cumbersome, given that we’re not typically asking questions about matters of public policy here?
But you DO acknowledge we have at times dealt with the matter of parliamentary procedure in this thread on previous occasions, do you not?
Can I take the fifth amendment?
Are you accused of a crime?
Before SCAdian answers, may I just take a moment to answer Cardigan and say, yes, I vaguely recall that it’s come up before?
