WHY WOULD YOU ASK SUCH A THING??!

SavoirFaire's avatar

I’m sorry, this is abuse. You want room 12A, just along the corridor.

janbb's avatar

@SavoirFaire Not sure if they’re not both available here!

SavoirFaire's avatar

12A might possibly be a different website, but my non-compete clause forbids me from saying anything more.

chyna's avatar

No it’s not! Whatever. Pfft.

janbb's avatar

@chyna Yes it is!

Hawaii_Jake's avatar

^^ You 2 are merely contradicting each other. You are not arguing.

janbb's avatar

@Hawaii_Jake You wanna make something of it?

chyna's avatar

Put up your dukes @Hawaii_Jake.

SavoirFaire's avatar

An argument is a connected series of statements intended to establish a proposition! Argument is an intellectual process! Contradiction is just the automatic gainsaying of any statement the other person makes!

janbb's avatar

^^No it isn’t!

Hawaii_Jake's avatar

@chyna Fisticuffs are on the 3rd floor.

janbb's avatar

@Hawaii_Jake Ooh – now you’re tawkin’.

Hawaii_Jake's avatar

If you go one more flight up, they’ll teach you how to defend yourself from a man with a banana.

janbb's avatar

We’ve done the bananas!

canidmajor's avatar

I’m not going to argue with @Hawaii_Jake. He is much taller than me. I am afraid.

jca's avatar

Why on earth would you ask such a thing?

imrainmaker's avatar

How much will it cost to have argument with @ragingloli?

ARE_you_kidding_me's avatar

Eh, we are all a bunch of “soft trolls” so…yeah.

Hawaii_Jake's avatar

@imrainmaker It’s rather cheap to argue with Loli. It will only cost you your eternal soul.

rojo's avatar

No, that is down the hall. It is “being hit on the head lessons in here”.

SavoirFaire's avatar

@rojo What a stupid concept.

Strauss's avatar

Whatever you say…not!

janbb's avatar

@Strauss I know you are but what am I?

stanleybmanly's avatar

It’s a settled issue as clear as “black snd white”.

Love_my_doggie's avatar

You are a idiott, @janbb. If you was as smart as me, your questions would be gooder.

janbb's avatar

@Love_my_doggie How dare you say that!

rojo's avatar

yoo mispeled idjit.^^^

Strauss's avatar

Yeah! What an idiot idjot idjit!

dappled_leaves's avatar

I’ve told you once.

SavoirFaire's avatar

No you haven’t.

SergeantQueen's avatar

Who wants to fight me?

Patty_Melt's avatar

@SergeantQueen, why would anybody want to fight YOU? If I hit a scrawny butt like you, the only fighting YOU would do is FIGHT TO BREATHE.
@janbb, I can’t imagine what would possess you to ask such a question. You must be nuts.

SergeantQueen's avatar

SQUARE UP, BIG BOY

Patty_Melt's avatar

Me? I’m not a boy. Maybe check the pic.

SergeantQueen's avatar

SQUARE UP, WOMAN

Patty_Melt's avatar

FINE! I’VE MADE MARINES WHIMPER AND CRY. LET’S GO.

Strauss's avatar

^Big whoop. I’ve made the ladies cry with a song! Yeah, the Marines too!

dxs's avatar

No, no, no. Hold your head like this and then go “WAAAH!”

Patty_Melt's avatar

@Strauss, I’ve made some bleed. Some whimpered and cried from pain, some from pleasure, a couple from both.
Your turn….GO!

Strauss's avatar

@Patty_Melt I’ve sung sad songs, I’ve sung bad songs. I’ve sung songs that bring tears of laughter, and songs that bring tears from the heart. I’ve also sung songs that were so bad they cried aloud, “Make it stop!”

Earthbound_Misfit's avatar

Mother, mother
There’s too many of you crying
Brother, brother, brother
There’s far too many of you dying
You know we’ve got to find a way
To bring some loving here today – Ya

Father, father
We don’t need to escalate
You see, war is not the answer
For only love can conquer hate
You know we’ve got to find a way
To bring some loving here today

canidmajor's avatar

^^^ 60s EARWORM ALERT!!!

Strauss's avatar

^^But you know he was Gaye!

jca's avatar

I still can’t imagine why on earth anybody would ask such a stupid question.

By the way, I’ve got a 5 paragraph story with quotations about an episode that happened twenty years ago. Wanna hear it?

janbb's avatar

@jca If I say no, I don’t, will you argue with me?

jca's avatar

@janbb: I really think something must be wrong with you.

janbb's avatar

Me? Surely not, but there was that one time…....

chyna's avatar

….at band camp….

Patty_Melt's avatar

…my flute…

janbb's avatar

…his tush…..it was embarassing!

snowberry's avatar

Then the police showed up…

Patty_Melt's avatar

….and he filed charges, because his thread was hijacked. The police…

janbb's avatar

said, “Wait a minute! Is this the argument clinic?”

Earthbound_Misfit's avatar

Yes! What’s your point @janbb?

jca's avatar

Pay attention, People!

janbb's avatar

@jca Aw shaddup already!

jca's avatar

Listen up, Penguin. Don’t be thinking that you’re special just because you’re friends with Bruce Springsteen.

janbb's avatar

@jca He did say he’s in love with a Jersey girl!

Earthbound_Misfit's avatar

He (Springsteen) wears weird pants. I’ve seen the pics on Facebook.

canidmajor's avatar

I’m a Jersey Girl. Just sayin’.

jca's avatar

I’ve been to New Jersey. Does that count? Bruce? Bruce?

janbb's avatar

@Earthbound_Misfit It was the lights. They were just regular jeans.

Earthbound_Misfit's avatar

Sure. That’s what you say now. I think he just wears weird jeans.

janbb's avatar

^^ Are you arguing with me?

Strauss's avatar

“Ah bought mah fust git-tar when Ah wuz fourteen…”

“Now Ah’m over sixty, an’ still wearin’ jeans!”

canidmajor's avatar

^^^ Weird jeans.

janbb's avatar

^^ All youse guys are just jealous cause I saw Bruce and you didn’t. And…I waddled for science on Saturday.

chyna's avatar

I don’t know which one I’m most jealous of: waddling for science or throwing my undies at Bruce.

canidmajor's avatar

So much I am sighing. <sigh>

SergeantQueen's avatar

I STILL CAN’T ASK QUESTIONS ON HERE.
UGH
someone fight me

snowberry's avatar

<channeling Batman:

POW!

snowberry's avatar

Now someone call emergency services.

chyna's avatar

“911, what’s your emergency?”

SergeantQueen's avatar

Sergeant Queen can’t ask questions on Fluther and she is dying.

SavoirFaire's avatar

You can’t fight in here! This is the War Room!

janbb's avatar

@SavoirFaire It’s my argument clinic and I make the rules around here!

Patty_Melt's avatar

Whatsa matter, @SergeantQueen, can’t take it? GET YOUR ASS UP, SOLDIER, AND QUIT YOUR WHINING! This is the argument clinic, not the damn Midol brigade.
SHAKE IT OFF AND GIVE WHAT YOU’VE GOT!

Strauss's avatar

@janbb I make the rules around here!

Rules are made to be broken
Especially penguin rules!

janbb's avatar

^^^boo hooo, now you made me cry!

Patty_Melt's avatar

Do penguins cry ice? If so, is it sickles, or cubes?

janbb's avatar

It’s usually lemon ice – or is that my pee?

Patty_Melt's avatar

Oh no. @janbb doesn’t know which end is up today.

janbb's avatar

I’m flippin’ and a floppin’

SergeantQueen's avatar

Dragon Punches all of you

Hawaii_Jake's avatar

Penguins live at the bottom of the world. They have no clue which way is up.

@Earthbound_Misfit is in the same boat.

janbb's avatar

I thought I recognized that person next to me on the oars.

SergeantQueen's avatar

Consider yourselves DESTROYED

Hawaii_Jake's avatar

I thought this was an argument clinic. I didn’t realize starships were involved.

Load the photon torpedoes.

Strauss's avatar

Gas ‘em with the fartron charges!

canidmajor's avatar

THE PENGUIN IS PEEING HERE! HAZ MAT SUITS, EVERYONE!
Unless, of course, it’s cute pee.

janbb's avatar

@canidmajor But of course it’s cute pee. And I shit roses too.

chyna's avatar

Someone always pees in the pool. Don’t swallow the water!

canidmajor's avatar

Well, it does warm up the water for a bit anyway.

janbb's avatar

@canidmajor Are you saying I’m responsible for the polar ice caps melting?

chyna's avatar

Well if the pee fits…

janbb's avatar

It was getting mighty warm underneath me!

Hawaii_Jake's avatar

Let’s blame the penguin for climate change!

canidmajor's avatar

I love the irony of a penguin causing global warming.

Strauss's avatar

One hot penguin!♥♥♥!

Hawaii_Jake's avatar

The penguin has been taking social media lessons from our 45th president.

Patty_Melt's avatar

Annnnnnd, here we are kicking that dead horse again.

jca's avatar

The penguin swims in the warm spot.

Strauss's avatar

@Patty_Melt kicking that dead horse again.

And here I thought it was all about The Penguin!

OH! Is he dead? But what if he is and they’re not telling us?

canidmajor's avatar

Where did the horse come from? Did the penguin kill the horse? That Penguin is one scary avian icon!

snowberry's avatar

Well, for heavens sake don’t hurt the poor thing! It can’t help being dead!

janbb's avatar

Wow! Look what I started – a totally nonsensical thread that keeps on going!

SergeantQueen's avatar

Why the hell would you do this?

janbb's avatar

@SergeantQueen Shut up already!

snowberry's avatar

Is there a humane society for dealing with people who beat dead horses? They have rights too ya know!

chyna's avatar

What about penguins that beat dead horses?

janbb's avatar

Some horses are beaten while still living. Just sayin’

canidmajor's avatar

I’ve beaten eggs. Is it like that?

Strauss's avatar

Just FYI, let’s not confuse beatings with _spankings _!

SergeantQueen's avatar

no no no spankings are fun!

Hawaii_Jake's avatar

I think we’ve changed scenes on our quest for the Holy Grail.

SergeantQueen's avatar

( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

Patty_Melt's avatar

OMG that is so CUTE!

canidmajor's avatar

And, in the spirit of this thread, Happy World Penguin Day, @janbb!

SergeantQueen's avatar

Waddle, waddle my dude! :)

Hawaii_Jake's avatar

I suggest on this World Penguin Day we all take time to meditate on a zen koan:

What is the sound of a penguin’s knees on an Antarctic winter’s night?

Hawaii_Jake's avatar

Penguins! Who knew? LOL

canidmajor's avatar

OH, thanks, @chyna, that set the dogs off. They must be worried about the Penguins. :-P

snowberry's avatar

I’m starting a benevolent society for the care and feeding of dead horses. If you have beaten dead horses in the past, and want to change your life, come volunteer. It’s the best therapy ever.

Patty_Melt's avatar

hand raised

Hawaii_Jake's avatar

Penguins, dead horses, Castle Anthrax.

Are there any weddings from the Dark Ages to attend with women with great tracts of land?

I’ve got the coconuts ready and piled on the lawn.

janbb's avatar

I’m getting a bit confused.

Hawaii_Jake's avatar

Ease into it. It’s not scary once you get used to the confusion. Breathe.

janbb's avatar

I find it very hard to breathe, I’ve noticed.

Hawaii_Jake's avatar

Maybe it’s the heat. You need a colder clime.

janbb's avatar

Yesl I’m melting, I’m melting…....

Patty_Melt's avatar

NOOOOOOOO!
We can’t have a pengy puddle!

Hawaii_Jake's avatar

When is a walrus like a writing desk?

Soubresaut's avatar

When the raven is busy with a shift at the argument clinic! Clearly!

Coo coo cachoo ca coo coo cachoo

chyna's avatar

@Soubresaut GA for spelling that out.

Hawaii_Jake's avatar

That’s what he said…

Strauss's avatar

NO IT’S NOT!

Patty_Melt's avatar

PROOF! Without proof you got nothing, so suck it.

snowberry's avatar

Proof spelled backwards is FOORP.

Anyone wanna fight about it?

Soubresaut's avatar

You’re gonna need more proof than that to convince me that “spelled,” backwards, is FOORP…. Especially when anyone can see, clear as day, the proof that “spelled,” backwards, is “delleps”!!

Strauss's avatar

Oh yeah? Well Mississippi spelled backwards is “I pee pee, I ess, ess, I ess, ess, I am!”

SergeantQueen's avatar

Anyone want a pocky stick?

Soubresaut's avatar

@Strauss—Nuh uh! It’s “I humpback humpback, I crooked-letter crooked-letter, I crooked-letter crooked-letter, I am!”

@SergeantQueen—Oh yes I’ll take one please!

rojo's avatar

Where have all the flowers gone in Hanford, Washington?

Patty_Melt's avatar

There is no “am”. Mississippi starts with “em”, not “am”.

SergeantQueen's avatar

@Soubresaut If you can successfully fight Pikachu, you may get a pocky

Strauss's avatar

What happened to the argument clinic?
