What do you have to say?: By easy, do you mean jeez-o-peasy, teasy, Sneezy, Wheezy, breezy or queasy?

Who is this?: Darkwriter
What time is it?: 01-14-12 @ 11:45am
What do you have to say?: Don't they all sound like bad alternatives? If any I think we should just eat our peasy and get it over with, shouldn't we?

Who is this?: Steve Ellen
What time is it?: 01-14-12 @ 5:13pm
What do you have to say?: Aren't you glad you know how to spell peasy without making a typo? Why did nobody mention cheezy?

Who is this?: Steve Ellen
What time is it?: 01-16-12 @ 10:10pm
What do you have to say?: Can we actually cheat at this? Wouldn't you have to ask a question that was later discovered to not be a question? Is that even possible? I mean, a question is a question, isn't it?

What do you have to say?: Most rhetorical questions are really statements, so are they saddled with that misnomer or are they really unanswerable questions?

Who is this?: Steve Ellen
What time is it?: 01-17-12 @ 8:49pm
What do you have to say?: I think most of us believe it's the question mark at the end that is the key component, don't we? Without a question mark what have you got? An ersatz question? A pseudo question? A camouflage question? Can we all just remember to do the squiggle dot?

Who is this?: Dad
What time is it?: 01-19-12 @ 10:25pm
What do you have to say?: Isn't what we learn, "If you see the captain running like Hell to get the hell off the boat, maybe we should too?"

Who is this?: Dad
What time is it?: 01-21-12 @ 9:40pm

Who is this?: Steve Ellen
What time is it?: 01-29-12 @ 9:28pm
