A Worthy Adversary:

My Em.

A game of Questions:

[22:20] Em: maybe I'll just go ahead and write that stuff
[22:20] -M: sure
[22:21] Em: why is the Denmark Strait between Iceland and Greenland?
[22:21] -M: because iceland is green and greenland is ice
[22:22] Em: statement. 1-0
[22:22] -M: so we're playing questions?
[22:22] Em: are we?
[22:22] -M: why shouldn't we be?
[22:22] Em: why do you ask me?
[22:23] -M: why do you assume I expect an answer?
[22:23] Em: why wouldn't I expect that?
[22:23] -M: couldn't you assume that I would accept the futility of answers in a gabe of questions?
[22:24] -M: (*game)
[22:24] Em: what's a gabe?
[22:24] -M: should I consider that a non sequitur?
[22:24] Em: how is it a non sequitor?
[22:24] -M: why did you still ask it after I'd corrected myself?
[22:25] Em: why do you assume I saw that before I thought of my question?
[22:25] -M: why didn't you take note of my correction before you sent your question through?
[22:26] Em: who says I didn't?
[22:26] -M: if you did, then why did you send your question through despite knowing I meant 'game' not 'gabe' ?
[22:27] Em: how did you know I didn't realize that before you sent your correction through?
[22:28] -M: what makes you think I knew either way?
[22:28] Em: does it matter if you did?
[22:28] -M: to you, or to me?
[22:29] Em: why would I talk to myself?
[22:29] -M: why would you talk to me?
[22:29] Em: who?
[22:29] -M: have you forgotten me already?
[22:30] Em: forgotten what?
[22:30] -M: is it the dizziness, do you think?
[22:30] Em: why am I dizzy?
[22:30] -M: weren't you earlier?
[22:31] Em: didn't I say I was?
[22:31] -M: did I ever say I knew why?
[22:31] Em: was I expecting an answer for my question?
[22:31] -M: are either of us, when we know we're playing questions?
[22:32] Em: are either of us when we're not?
[22:33] -M: how should I know about you?
[22:33] Em: do you know about yourself?
[22:33] -M: did I ever claim to?
[22:34] Em: claim to what?
[22:34] -M: didn't you just ask if I knew about myself?
[22:35] Em: did I
[22:35] Em: *?
[22:35] -M: could you try reading up a few lines to see it?
[22:36] Em: is it always that simple?
[22:36] -M: could it be, just this once?
[22:36] Em: why would it be?
[22:37] -M: do you always have to complicate things?
[22:37] Em: don't I usually oversimplify?
[22:37] -M: do you think you do?
[22:38] Em: do I annoy you?
[22:38] -M: are frogs green and bouncy?
[22:38] Em: aren't some blue and poisonous?
[22:39] -M: are you purposely diminishing my figure of speech?
[22:40] Em: why would I do a thing like that?
[22:40] -M: what would keep you from it?
[22:41] Em: what keeps us from doing anything?
[22:42] -M: would you believe me if I said lethargy?
[22:42] Em: wouldn't the tronger argument be fear of eternal damnation?
[22:42] Em: *stronger
[22:42] -M: when should I start counting these meta-questions as non-sequiturs?
[22:43] Em: why would you put things of one category into another?
[22:44] -M: aren't they quite similar to what Guil counted as a non-sequitur from Ros?
[22:45] Em: wasn't I just answering the question?
[22:45] -M: why are you trying to answer if we're playing questions?
[22:46] Em: is it possible to exit a game of questions since my brother wants to open his birthday presents?
[22:47] -M: do you think if we both agreed to at the same time and settled on a tie, you could wish your brother a happy birthday from me and I could go to the bathroom?
[22:47] Em: when should we end?
[22:47] -M: why not now?
[22:48] Em: ok
[22:48] -M: lovely
[22:48] -M: this is going in my lj.

And lo, it did.

P.S. I buy Wilde tomorrow! *anticipation*
