The Answer is a Question game

[Older Fish]

Don't you know that baked wild snails in garlic butter are delicious?

[Talisman]

Only if you eat meat. I presume that you do then? 

[poppy]

You're an adherent of vegetarianism?

[Older Fish]

Isn't vegetarianism perpetrating unspeakable acts of cruelty against vegetables?

[poppy]

Would you perhaps favour synthetically produced food in pill form then?

[Talisman]

I prefer synthetic hormones, as they help with my symptoms of menopause.

[Older Fish]

I prefer synthetic hormones, as they help with my symptoms of menopause.

Was that a question or a statement on your menopause?

[poppy]

Did you not find the lack of a question mark helpful in drawing a conclusion?

(good to see you back O.F )

[Older Fish]

Should we not be too hasty in jumping in to conclusions, regardless how apparent they may be?

 

(Thanks for the welcome, Poppy. Work has been crazy lately.)

You feel the drawing of apparent conclusions is to be discouraged?

[Older Fish]

Was I apparently painting the drawing of apparent conclusions in a negative light?

[poppy]

Is it possible to draw and paint in negative light? Would that not be like ...dark?

[Older Fish]

Are you making light of the dark?

[poppy]

Is it not darkest just before first light?

[Older Fish]

As the first light would be defined as the time the darkness starts getting dispelled, wouldn't any time before that be considered the darkest, by definition?

[poppy]

Do you wish to dispute the veracity of English theologian and historian Thomas Fuller's claim in his religious travelogue A Pisgah-Sight Of Palestine And The Confines Thereof, 1650, that 'It is always darkest just before the Day dawneth?

[Older Fish]

Is Thomas Fuller not the sage who foresaw the rise of the Apple Appstore and Freemium app revenue model, by proclaiming "Nothing costs so much as what is given us"?

[poppy]

Are you suggesting that Thomas Fuller predicted the proliferation of digital apps some four centuries ago?

[Older Fish]

Don't people credit Nostradamus with such predictions even earlier than four centuries ago?

[poppy]

You think Nostradamus could have foretold the advent of Pokemon Go?

[Older Fish]

Do you really think those Rorschach-inkblot-like verses of Nostradamus mean anything other than he was smoking something really strong at the time?

[poppy]

But don't you think that all Rorscach inkblots, verse or otherwise, look like the product of a fevered imagination, most likely under the influence of some mind altering substance?

[Older Fish]

Is it really that the ink blots and verses are the product of a fevered imagination, or is it their interpretation by your over-imaginative mind that make them appear so?

 

[poppy]

 

Are you questioning the validity of my Rorschach inkblot results which states that far from having a fevered or over-active imagination, I approach things rationally???

[Older Fish]

What were the circumstances leading to you being psychologically evaluated with Rorschach inkblot tests?
