[schmenke]

Which channel?

Why do the French call the English Channel "La Manche" (the sleeve)

[djarumdudley]

[D-Type]

Do the French think that way?

[djarumdudley]

Are you implying that there's French thought?

[D-Type]

If you don't, who will?

[djarumdudley]

What about you?

[D-Type]

What the hell are we talking about?

[anfield5]

Why, can't you answer it?

[djarumdudley]

How do you answer a rhetorical question?

[anfield5]

is THAT a rhetorical question?

[djarumdudley]

How could it not be?

[anfield5]

Are you trying to confuse me?

[D-Type]

Haven't you got a dictionary to look up the meaning of "Rhetorical question"?

[schmenke]

Isn't this thread full of them?

[D-Type]

Do you think so?

[anfield5]

do YOU think so?

[djarumdudley]

Think what?

[anfield5]

Anything?

[djarumdudley]

About something?

[D-Type]

Is it possible to have a rhetorical question that involves "Thinking about .... something" ?

[anfield5]

Is it possible not to?

[D-Type]

Do you think it's time to move on from rhetorical questions?

[djarumdudley]

What do you suggest?

[anfield5]

How about puppies?

[djarumdudley]

What about puppies?

[anfield5]

Do they taste good?

[D-Type]

Are you a Korean who eats darling, cute, lovable, cuddly-wuddly puppies?

[anfield5]

Why should I be Korean?

[djarumdudley]

Do you like Kimchi?

[schmenke]

Is that not stereotyping?

[djarumdudley]

How can a stereo type?

[anfield5]

Isn't it with two fingers?

[djarumdudley]

Where are the rest then?

[anfield5]

The rest of what?

[djarumdudley]

You don't know?

[anfield5]

Don't I?

[D-Type]

Are you sure?

[anfield5]

Do I look sure?

[djarumdudley]

How can we tell?

[anfield5]

Couldn't you simply ask?

[djarumdudley]

Didn't I?

[schmenke]

Can't we all just stop asking questions and end this madness?

[anfield5]

Is that what you really want, what you really, really want?

[schmenke]

Isn't it what we all want?

[Donney]

Don't you want it all and you want it nooooooow, yeah?

[anfield5]

Don't you want to break free?

[D-Type]

What do you mean by "break free"?

[anfield5]

Isn't it free from your lies, your so self satisfied, I don't need you?

[D-Type]

Why are you singling out my lies, do you think I'm paranoid?

[Donney]

What do the voices tell you?

[anfield5]

All of the voices or just the really scary ones?

[schmenke]

Do you do what they tell you?

[anfield5]

Is there a sound reason why I shouldn't?

[schmenke]

Does that not concern you?

[anfield5]

No, but does it concern you?

[schmenke]

Can you let us know what they're saying?

[D-Type]

Who wants to know?

[anfield5]

Don't we all?

[schmenke]

Wouldn't it be safer is we did?

[anfield5]

is safer necessarily better?

[D-Type]

Better than what?

[anfield5]

isn't it all encompassing?

[D-Type]

Sorry, what does 'encompassing' mean?

[anfield5]

What does anything really mean?

[schmenke]

Do you have to be so philosophical?

[anfield5]

Isn't philosophy the thing that separates us from the apes?

[D-Type]

Aren't we apes?

[anfield5]

are you comparing me to a chimpanzee?

[D-Type]

Why would I insult a noble tea-drinking animal like a chimp?

[schmenke]

Have you ever seen a chimp drink tea?

[anfield5]

Coming from Africa, wouldn't they prefer coffee?

[schmenke]

You don't know much about chimps, do you?

[D-Type]

Have you read "The Naked Ape"?

[anfield5]

Why? Does this naked ape thingy have words tattooed on it?

[schmenke]

How can a hairy chimp be tattooed?

[D-Type]

Who said anything about tattoing poor, defenceless, tea-drinking, banana eating chimps?

[anfield5]

So we are mentioning bananas now are we?

[D-Type]

What's wrong with bananas?

[anfield5]

Have you tried them with coffee?

[D-Type]

Why do you think I've had anything to do with chimps?

[anfield5]

Are you saying you haven't?

[D-Type]

Have you?

[schmenke]

Why are you being so defensive D-Type?

[anfield5]

isn't defence the best form of offence?

[D-Type]

Do chimpanzees act that way?

[schmenke]

What's with all the ape talk?

[D-Type]

Would you prefer to talk about cats, rabbits, or polar bears?

[anfield5]

So does that mean that pangolins are off the agenda then?

[D-Type]

Who would want to talk about boring animals lke pangolins?

[anfield5]

How can say this
http://blogs.scientificamerican.com/extinction-countdown/files/2012/02/pangolin.jpg
is boring?

[D-Type]

Do pangolins smoke cigarettes, drink tea, eat their turds, scratch their armpits or anything that chimps do?

[anfield5]

couldn't you teach them to?

[D-Type]

Why would I want to teach them bad habits?

[anfield5]

Aren't you chimps happy then?

[D-Type]

Don't you think they'd be happier in the wild?

[anfield5]

Can they get good quality tea in the wild?

[D-Type]

Who says they like tea?

[anfield5]

You did, didn't you?

[D-Type]

Did I, really?

[anfield5]

Was it just implied then?

[D-Type]

Who knows?

[anfield5]

With you age and worldly experience and knowledge - don't you?

[schmenke]

Are we still talking about chimps?

[D-Type]

Haven't we rather talked that topic to death?

[anfield5]

Are you going to kill the chimps D-Type?

[schmenke]

Aren't they from another planet?

[anfield5]

Don;t they look like little hairy people?

[schmenke]

Is that an insult to little hairy people?

[anfield5]

Do you think so?

[schmenke]

Do you know any little hairy people that we can ask?

[anfield5]

Hoe can it be asked tactfully?

[D-Type]

Why do you need to be tactful with that lot?

[anfield5]

So, are you saying we can be rude?

[schmenke]

Are we still talking about chimps?

[anfield5]

Where have you been?

[schmenke]

Should I have made myself more available?

[anfield5]

available for what?

[schmenke]

Aren't we talking about chimps?

[anfield5]

What do you want to be available to do with D-Types chimps?

[D-Type]

Who said they were my chimps?

[anfield5]

Didn't you introduce them?

[schmenke]

What are their names?

[D-Type]

Do you mean the names they use amongst themselves or the ones we give them?

[anfield5]

Did you name them then D-Type?

[schmenke]

Can you please share that info D-Type?

[D-Type]

Why do you think I know it?

[anfield5]

Aren't you a font of knowledge?

[schmenke]

Wouldn't that be "fountain" of knowledge?

[D-Type]

Shouldn't you ask a chimp that question?

[anfield5]

Would a chimp know the answer?

[schmenke]

Can't D-Type provide the chimps?

[anfield5]

From his personal stash?

[steveaki13]

Where does he keep them?

[D-Type]

Have I ever said I have any chimps?

[schmenke]

Well why did you bring it up then?

[anfield5]

Did some one vomit?

[schmenke]

Do we need a mop?

[D-Type]

Careful! Don't you think a mop might remind our New Zealand friend of a sheep?

[steveaki13]

What makes you think a New Zealander would like sheep?

[schmenke]

What do New Zealanders like then?

[D-Type]

Is New Zealand still known as "The land where men are men and sheep are nervous?" ;)

[anfield5]

Is that just because we give all of our sheep names?

[D-Type]

Why do you do that?

[anfield5]

isn't it obvious?

[D-Type]

Does it mean you love them?

[anfield5]

What does love really mean?

[schmenke]

Can't you ask a simpler question?

[anfield5]

Isn't it simple enough?

[schmenke]

Then why don't you answer it?

[anfield5]

Is it my job to answer my own question?

[D-Type]

Why are you dodging any questions about sheep?

[anfield5]

why are you so interested in sheep D-Type, is there something you're not telling us?

[D-Type]

Isn't it New Zealand (along with Wales, Australia, and other Rugby playing nations) who have the reputation of being, shall we say, interested in sheep?

[anfield5]

Didn't realise you were Welsh D-Type?

[schmenke]

Is D-Type allowed to keep chimps in Wales?

[D-Type]

Do you realise saying people are Welsh is more insulting than saying they are chimps?

[anfield5]

it would be a real bugger being a Welsh chimp then

[schmenke]

Was that a question?

[anfield5]

it would be a real bugger being a Welsh chimp then?

(yes I just forgot to put a question mark on it)

[D-Type]

Why do I have this vision of a chimp b*ggering a sheep?

[anfield5]

is one of your own chimps?

[D-Type]

Do you think my chimps would do that?

[schmenke]

How many chimps do you have?

[D-Type]

How many do you think?

[anfield5]

how many does it take?

[D-Type]

To do what?

[schmenke]

Aren't you paying attention?

[anfield5]

DO you have to pay now?

[D-Type]

What has that got to do with chimps or sheep - or even Billy's missus for that matter?

[schmenke]

Don't you have to pay for all three?

[D-Type]

Does Billy's missus make YOU pay?

[anfield5]

I thought Billy handled the accounts?

[D-Type]

Isn't he too busy looking the other way?

[anfield5]

Looking for what?

[schmenke]

Chimps?

[anfield5]

really?

[D-Type]

Well, what would you be looking for?

[anfield5]

Do you really want to know?

[D-Type]

As a true New Zealander, shouldn't you admit you would be looking for a sheep?

[anfield5]

If I were a true New Zealander wouldn't I already have sheep?

[D-Type]

Aren't you a true New Zealander then?

[anfield5]

would it annoy if I wasn't?

[D-Type]

Well, as we don't have any Welshmen here who could I target with sheep abuse jokes?

[anfield5]

aren't there more sheep in Australia?

[steveaki13]

There are, but are they friendly sheep?

[anfield5]

How friendly do you want them to be?

[schmenke]

Why does steve want to know?

[anfield5]

do you think he has plans for them?

[D-Type]

Could he be thinking of your needs?

[schmenke]

What would that be?

[D-Type]

Don't you know what they say about certain nationalities and sheep?

[anfield5]

can you please enlighten us?

[schmenke]

Which nationalities?

[anfield5]

Does it matter?

[D-Type]

Apart from the Welsh and the New Zealanders, who else have a reputation for having, shall we say, an attraction to sheep?

[anfield5]

The Scots used to raid the English border villages to steel them didn't they?

[D-Type]

With the Scottish lassies keeping a welcome on the hillside, why would the Scots need sheep as well?

[steveaki13]

Are Scottish Lassies worth it?

[D-Type]

Can't you see for yourself from the Commonwealth Games coverage?

[anfield5]

Where the lassies the ones in the skirts?

[D-Type]

Can't you tell the difference between a lad and a lassie?

[anfield5]

Why do they all wear skirts?

[steveaki13]

Surely Scottish Lads and Lassies do?

[D-Type]

Could it have something to do with the weather?

[steveaki13]

What was the weather like?

[D-Type]

Do you think they'd notice?

[anfield5]

were they standing on their heads?

[D-Type]

Why is that important?

[anfield5]

(I was tempted to refer to a weather-cock but that would just be crude and uncalled for:))

Isn't everything important in its' own way?

[D-Type]

Isn't that question a bit too philosophical for this thread?

[schmenke]

Shouldn't we try to answer it anyways?

[anfield5]

Or is that what THEY want us to do?

[schmenke]

Why would they want to?

[D-Type]

Can anybody remember what we are supposed to be discussing here?

[anfield5]

are we supposed to be discussing something?

[D-Type]

What do you think?

[schmenke]

Chimps?

[D-Type]

Don't you think those poor, hard worked, tea-drinking, space flying, banana eating apes have been done to death?

[anfield5]

so you want to kill the chimps the d-type?

[D-Type]

Don't you think we've run out of chimp and sheep jokes?

[anfield5]

Do YOU think we have?

[D-Type]

Wouldn't you rather ask questions about sport or something?

[anfield5]

What sport do you have in mind?

[GravettFan99]

Why would you have a sport in mind?

[anfield5]

didn't D-Type say we had to?

[GravettFan99]

Does it matter if he says so?

[D-Type]

Do I have to make a comment?

[anfield5]

Can we prevent it? :)

[GravettFan99]

Don't you think we're going off on a little tangent? :p

[schmenke]

Why does D-Type always want to avoid discussing chimps?
