Ask me a question:

[Gary Childress]

Here's a game we can all play (or not play): I'll post a word, if someone wants to make it fit as the answer to a question that you want to ask me. You can pin whatever question you can come up with to the word I post.

EXAMPLE: If I give the word, "orange", then you would post a question in "response" to the word "orange" which would serve as my answer to the question you come up with for being my word "orange".

So you might post, "what is the color of your front door, Gary". Essentially you would be putting the other words in my mouth. Therefore the question plus answer would come out like below:

Q: what is the color of your front door, Gary. (your question that you put in my mouth)
A: Orange (my pre-reply)

NOTE: This first post will serve as a conversation starter--in case anyone might want to post something after it. I'll also post in the discussion that comes out. If anyone else figures out what I'm doing, then feel free to join in. Even if you don't figure out what I'm doing, then you are welcome to join in. You are also welcome to post a statement regarding or guess of what I'm doing.

The operative word to start off this thread, at least for now (if not for the whole discussion), is:

Platypus

Are you retired?

[Gary Childress]

Are you retired?

No just on Family Medical Leave right now trying to get back to where I am mentally capable of doing the job I had been working.

[Harbal]

Are you retired?

How could the answer to that be Platypus?

[phyllo]

In this place, I believe 'Platypus' may be the answer to the question.

Does this look like it works well to you?

Hey Gary, what is that duck billed egg laying mammal over there called?

[promethean75]

Holy shit this is fun.

Thank you, Prom, you just made my day, at least for now. I just want there to be more good days ahead of me before the "movers and shakers" of the world end up doing something really stupid and screwing up everything. That's all I want at this point. I've been 25 years on psychotropic meds because I worry about others, including the effects my actions have on them and I don't want harm. Meanwhile, there are people out there churning out stuff to kill other people who are probably living the high life, lots of money, fancy cars, pretty women, all the good things life has to offer. At the very least, after going through what I've gone through, I just want some peace of mind. If peace is something our worthless society can't accomplish, then I'm tired of paying the price for their stupidity.

Platypus means flat foot.
If you have flat feet you get tired when you take the long walk.
This is but one reason there are no reported sightings of a marching platypus.
When you rest up and take that long walk again, you re-tire yourself, and thus be ... retired.

Q: Are you tired ... again?
A: Flat feet ... what the F do you think?

As far as I can tell, that's a fair attempt to be relevant. Maybe a B- for effort in my book? If you think it's better than that, then feel free to explain what I'm not seeing.

Gary, you have a yet to provide proof of possessing an elevator's license, and there are possible karmic penalities for unlicensed calibrating of objective elevations with calculations corrupted by delusional understanding of life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.

But, to continue with relevance to the greater truth of the topic at hand before any contemplated or attempted, unnecessary amputations ...

A Platy is a fish.
A fish is a newbe.
Pus form around infections.

Therefore:

Q: What happens when a newbe’s mind is infected with Leftist crap?
A: Platypus.

OK. Thanks for the insight. I just lowered your grade to an F.

And you shall know the karmic penalty, as you well know.

[Gary Childress]

Yes. I'm feeling the rewards already. Thanks for the opportunity.
