Question game

Why do you prefer MSN for that purpose?

...because it's more instant than posting in a forum. Also, there is less risk of double-posting!


Are you bored? (I'm guessing you're on some kind of 'watch' again...)

[Soldier]

Actually, I was wondering why you prefer it over AIM.

And yes, I'm quite bored - and am indeed on watch, as happens to me every few days or so. But, not a bad shift today - only six hours, with but one left.

Have you seen The Silence of the Lambs?

Ah, had you but added a little comma I would have understood your question...

Have you seen The Silence of the Lambs?

Yes I have. I like it a lot.

Do you like Rammstein?

[Soldier]

They're alright; loved their rendition of "Barbie Girl". Marvelously creepy. Their English translations are quite poor, though.

What does "southpaw grammar" refer to?

[Zilverzmurfen]

What does "southpaw grammar" refer to?

It refers to myself being a leftie - a 'Southpaw'.

But it is also the title of a Morrissey album. I'm an old fan of the British (ex-)band The Smiths and their singer Morrissey.


What are you going to do when your shift ends?

[Soldier]

Yes, I understand southpaw (took a bit of boxing here), but not its relevance to grammar...

[Zilverzmurfen]

Yes, I understand southpaw (took a bit of boxing here), but not its relevance to grammar...

Well, grammar is also the 'rules' on how languages are constructed and I quite like languages.
With a (fair) bit of imagination it could also be interpreted as "(Being) lefthanded rules..."


For how much longer will you be a cadet?

Edit: You - again - forgot a question. Damn those chickens, eh?

[Soldier]

Gah. I've been up entirely too long already. Left-handed rules...quite a stretch.

I'll be a cadet for another to years after this...

And how far through school are you?

[Nusy]

One more year left in the high!

And you?

[Zilverzmurfen]

I'll be a cadet for another to years after this...

You poor sod. And then what, off to some of the trouble-spots in the world?

And how far through school are you?

Ahem...I finished school in 1988. But my last studies ended in 1998. So I think I'm finished studying for now thanks...

Question: see above.

[Soldier]

Ah...my mistake.

With luck, then off to pilot training.

Didn't you read the post before yours, Nusy?

[Tazz]

Ahem...I finished school in 1988.

Hee hee hee that's the year I was born

[Soldier]

Youngster...

You going to go make fun of her for being old now?

[Nusy]

I read it - maybe I misunderstood it

[Tazz]

no, I wouldnt dream of it

How old are you?

[Zilverzmurfen]

You going to go make fun of her for being old now?

Hey, watch it - I am not old!

I am very well preserved for my age, you know?

[Zilverzmurfen]

How old are you?

Do the maths... You were born the same year I ended my 'gymnasium' studies...

[Soldier]

Oh, I do know.

And Tazz, I'm nineteen.

Nusy, I assumed the fact that I have two years left would tell you I'm in my second year of college here; that, apparently, was a poor assumption.

Is this the thread record for number of posts responded to at once?

*sits back and await everyones simultaneous YES...*

[Tazz]

YES!

Soldier, I always thought you were like... 23 or something.

So...anyone wanna post a question?
