Can we do this like _Jeopardy!_? I mean, the answers have to be in the form of a question so that’s taken care of, but how would we give the clues? Is “This is found on a television network as well as a bird’s butt” the same syntactically as “Is this found on a television network as well as a bird’s butt?”? Is a sentence an interrogative just by virtue of having a question mark at the end of it? Doesn’t a sentence have to have a question formulated by its words as well as having, at the end, a “?”? Can anyone answer this? Or are we just here to question everything? Is there no hope at all of some certainty, some stability, some foundational support upon which we can build? ---

Do the teleological ramifications of heuristic interrogations into causal and post-causal metalanguistic tenets warrant pop cultural referents and allusions to “bird butts”, or are you burpo’s dad after all? ---
