Can't you answer the question without relying on tired old stereotypes?

What does the stereotype you're refering to imply?

Isn't it obvious given what Ape Boy said?

No it isn't, can you please explain it?

Why would I do it when Ape Boy was the one who brought it up?

Weren't you the one who had issues with the implications of the stereotypical behaviors that I was hoping you would clarify?

Even if I was, isn't the person who first referenced the stereotypes the best to explain what they mean?

Since you were the one who wanted a non-stereotypical response, shouldn't you be the one to define exactly what the stereotype is that you want to avoid?

Might I suggest putting down the thesaurus?

EDIT : Ninja'd.

Why do you assume my lexicon requires the aid of a thesaurus?

The Saurus, what type of giant lizard is that?

((Wooo! An excuse to change subjects!))

Is it anything like Godzilla?

Would you believe that "saurus" is actually a Latin suffix used in dinosaur names and imparts the meaning of "lizard," despite their closer relation to birds?

What reason would I have to doubt that?

Perhaps you're one of those Bible-thumpers who believes Satan went out with a shovel and buried a bunch of random, fossilized bones to trick humanity into thinking up evolution and the extinction of the dinosaurs?


(Edit: Seriously, I met a girl like that in high school. One of my friends asked her if the Anti-Christ decided not to perform his duty, would it mean he was, in fact, defying the will of God, and I think her brain broke. XD)

Have I ever given any evidence that I thought that way?

Do I advertise I'm a confirmed Catholic?

Do you really expect me to go searching through your posts to find an answer when I can just as easily ask you whether you really are?

Didn't I just say I was? More importantly, doesn't the fact that you didn't know reinforce the assertion that I do not, in fact, advertise it?

If you didn't advertise it but just said it, how am I supposed to verify your claims?

What does it matter? The fact being that it is true, doesn't my question raise the possibility that you may, in fact, be one of those Bible-thumpers who believes Satan went out with a shovel and buried a bunch of random, fossilized bones to trick humanity into thinking up evolution and the extinction of the dinosaurs without my knowledge?

Can we keep that in the appropriate thread?

Could you rephrase that in a simpler format?

(No, seriously. I don't know what it is, but I'm just not catching your meaning, possibly due to correct, but messy grammar. Then again, I should talk. :sweatdrop )

Are you sure they'd like people talking in questions over there?

Doesn't the Big Big thread show a surprising amount of tolerance and goodwill towards discussion?

I'm sure it does, but are you sure they'd be able to stand half a dozen people doing nothing but asking questions every single post?

Aren't questions the basis of all learning, though?

... Have you heard some of the horror stories about Catholic school from my grandma?

How would I have heard anything from your grandmother?

It's not possible that you've ever met my granny?

What are the odds that I have?

Is your grandmother that nice old lady?

... Whatchu talkin' aboot, Moogs?

Isn't it possible I may have met his grandmother?

Wouldn't it be easier to judge if we were aware of your two respective locations both now and in the past?

Why would you be asking for our respective locations when our grandmothers lifelong travel locations would be what you need?

Should I have made it more obvious I was speaking of him and the lady in question?

Would you kindly rephrase the question?

Does it help if I say "him = the one that may have seen the grandma" and "lady = the grandma?"

Aren't you guys just asking questions for the sake of doing so, and perfectly understand that I never met Ape Boy's grandmother?

Well, what would you like to talk about?

Can we discuss why all of you feel the need to answer questions with questions?

Does it bother you?

Moreso, isn't it the point of the game?

Do you think Tendronai doesn't know how to play the game after over 1200 posts?

Isn't it possible that he's been genuinely curious?

So it's possible then that he knows my Grandma?

Do you see any reason why that possibility could not exist?

Isn't the fact that I said it doesn't exist enough?

Isn't it possible you met her and did not realize it was actually Ape Boy's grandmother though?

Aren't you just saying that to play devil's advocate, and realize the actual odds of me having met her are slim to none?

Do you know the exact amount of people you've met over the course of each day since you were born?

Are you talking seen on the street, or actually physically talked to?

Is everyone alright with the meaning of "met" being at the least a greeting and name exchange?

Why would we ask for more?

Don't you think clearly defined parameters are a great help with exploratory conversations?

Even though they are, aren't the ones you suggested enough for me to prove that I have never in fact met your grandmother?

Seeing as you could have easily have met her and forgotten about her like the thousands of meetings everybody forgets through their life, how could they be enough proof for you to disprove the notion?

Would the fact that I've never left Ontario - hell, the GTA - within my nineteen years of life not be enough to cast your theory into serious doubt, though?

What if his grandmother visited Ontario for quite some time?

If she had, wouldn't he have mentioned it by now?

Isn't it possible that he didn't know that's where you lived and now the chances of you having met his grandmother have raised significantly?

Isn't it much more likely that I haven't actually met her at all, though, given how many people live in the world and my relatively sheltered life?

What if the two of you are related in some distant manner and you never knew about it?

If it was that distant, how could I have ever met the woman?

What if it was distant on the family tree, yet she visited often or even lived near you?

But if the only person I know like that is my grandmother : wouldn't that make us cousins or something?

Is the only elderly woman you've ever met in your entire life your grandmother?

How often do you think I actually talk to random elderly ladies?

Wasn't that the point of the question prior to this one?

Shouldn't we be looking forward, not backward?

But can't we see forwards by examining what is behind us?

Isn't that only true if there's a mirror back there?

Seeing as my memere is 100% Canadian, you do realize you've significantly upped the odds of meeting her, right?

(Legit. My mother's side of the family descends directly from Canada, immigrated there from France)

... But what if you're an owl?

Do I look like an owl?

Can i not not answer that, please?

As a cat, does the thought of owls and of eating owls turn you on?

What kind of sicko would be turned on by eating food that not's jam off of the chest of that one nineteen year girl I met in the Sacramento region when I went to visit highly sophisticated museum of highly sophisticated art?

How much did you tip her?
