004 - Mincemeat

[deadly_ned]

Hello, Barge. My name is Ned, and I have a completely arbitrary and unrelated question to ask.

If you had a minute - 60 seconds - with any person currently dead and could talk and interact with them as normal, alive people would...

What would you say or ask them?

I suppose this question goes to the people who are currently...dead....and have alive people back home they're separated from as well.

It's an odd question, I know. But I've been...curious, lately.



Also, would the elf who took my wallet please give it back now? I hope you remember me; I was the piemaker dressed as a Franciscan monk. I hate to treat the network as my own personal Lost Connections newsletter but I really didn't know what other way to get in touch with you.

And if you're not actually an elf, I'm sorry for calling you one.

Yes. You can disregard the premise of the question and invent your own answer that has little or no relevance to the original query.

But we weren't talking about that. We were talking about changing the question itself.

Private

[deadly_ned]

Why do we have to change the question at all? Don't you think there's too much change too quickly nowadays?

You're getting mighty defensive about this arbitrary question.

Private

[deadly_ned]

I'm not being defensive.

Private

[hatestriangles]

Yeah, you kind of are.

Private

[deadly_ned]

Let's agree to disagree.

[A beat while Perry decides if he can be bothered to push this any further right now.]

Sure. If you say so.

Private

[deadly_ned]

I do say so. And when it's your turn to make an entry, you can talk about your own arbitrary questions and defend them.
