The Answer is a Question

[beckyblue]

Do you want me to shed a tear or two into this nice hot oatmeal?

 

[bobsyeruncle]

Only a tear or two? Are you familiar with a dude popularly known as "Dubya"?

 

[RippleInStillWater]

Isn't he still in hiding from the complete malaise that was his handiwork?

 

[beckyblue]

Hiding? Are you kidding? Haven't you seen his brilliant self-portraits?!?

 

[RippleInStillWater]

Don't you think his abilities were wasted in politics?

 

[bobsyeruncle]

Have you considered he might have been mostly wasted in politics?

 

[beckyblue]

Didn't he paint our country right into a corner?





(ETA - Am I a girl or a slug?)

 

[bobsyeruncle]

Doesn't it seem like the current government is still painting?

 

[RippleInStillWater]

Isn't it better they paint rather than listen? 8-o8-o8-o

 

[bobsyeruncle]

Who would they be listening to?

 

[beckyblue]

Are you saying D.C. is pretty plagued with people talking without speaking, people hearing without listening ?

 

[bobsyeruncle]

Are you familiar with the phrase, "Money talks"?

 

[RippleInStillWater]

Are you also familiar with its frequent partner, bobsyeruncle walks?

 

[bobsyeruncle]

Are you bribing me to walk away?

 

[beckyblue]

Do you know it's fun to swap the name of the star walker of this song with "bobsyeruncle"?

 

[RippleInStillWater]

Did you know I always think of this song when I see your nom de plume?

 

[beckyblue]

Do you know that, when you mentioned that before (hippie memory), it spurred me to buy TWO Ozark Mountain Daredevils albums from evil, record-store-killing Amazon straightaway because I liked it so much, and that I truly thank you for that 'cause I've enjoyed the hell out of them?!

 

[RippleInStillWater]

What, are you saying I'm forgetful?!?!?!

And you're welcome, babe......

 

[beckyblue]

Am I right that you enjoyed your scenic route to forgetful?

 

[RippleInStillWater]

Do you believe I still see some of those scenes sometimes?
