Ask A Stupid Question, Get A Stupid Answer!

[StoryJunkie]

if you're a horse. (ack!~)

Can names have power?

[Guest echtrae]

Some do, think of the name Dick.

Was that a good example, or what?

[dazzledfirestar]

Or what.

Would you want your child saddled with the name Dick forever?

[Guest echtrae]

Only if he was hung like a buffalo.

It would be fairly descriptive then, wouldn't it?

[dazzledfirestar]

Yes... but still... a bit cruel.

Do names have to be that descriptive?

[Guest echtrae]

I suppose not.

How about Virginia for a girl?

[dazzledfirestar]

Not likely.

Should I be more open to possible ironic names?

[Guest echtrae]

Probably not.

Are you going to try and spell something with the kid's initials?

[dazzledfirestar]

Nope. I had to live with that, at least mine don't spell anything dirty.

Wouldn't that be a form of child abuse?

[Guest echtrae]

Only if they spell something like PUD or SAP or something like that.

Would a christmas tree still look as good upside-down?

[dazzledfirestar]

Nope. I saw one in a catalogue... I thought it was pretty silly.

Would you pay money for something like that?

[foeofthelance]

Only if they offered me a hundred percent refund.

Think that would be good way to run a business?

[Guest Big Samurai]

Of course not; that'd be too easy for unscrupulous customers to abuse.

Then again, is there a good way to run a business?

[Guest echtrae]

Not particularly, most business concepts appear to operate in a moral gray area.

Who is ever really ready for Monday?

[foeofthelance]

I am. It's my day off.

Who is ever reaady to go to work?

[redsliver]

not me, I just have a second midterm in an hour or so.

Who wants to smack foe for (his?) last question?

[foeofthelance]

Everyone! But then, that's rather normal for me. Eh, I'm a guy, (just so Redsliver knows) I can take it.

Who wants to bet that its SJ who finally gets around to it?

[AmyMcClair]

I'd rather not bet on that, someone might smack me instead. Besides, I don't work for money.

Is there a worse job than housewife?

[redsliver]

have you tried prison bitch lately? (Q and A)

[AmyMcClair]

Not lately.

Has it gotten better?

[redsliver]

no, actually since they took smoking out of prisons its gotten worse.

Would being prison guard in a prison that has just recently banned smoking be worse than a homemaker?

[Guest echtrae]

Most likely, houses don't generally get grumpy if prevented from smoking.

Why do customer service numbers make you wait so fucking long before talking to you?

[redsliver]

because they are actually paid by the volume of anger received.

How much did you just cause them to earn?

[AmyMcClair]

More than I make in a year.

Can I get a refund?

[dazzledfirestar]

On the anger, yes, but the money, they're keeping.

Would you want your anger back?
