Is my answer to high-falutin'?

Kilgore Trout · Post by **Kilgore Trout** » Thu Jun 01, 2006 9:57 am

No, but it may not be stupid enough. I'll have to think about that.

(Xy, I may regret saying this, but your recent answers haven't been stupid enough.

I do think they need to be more imaginative. Answers like "probably" or "whatever you want" are only a half-step up from what my kids said when I asked them what happened at school that day: "Nothing." Lazy answers like that don't provide incentive for others to play the game. You have a sharp mind and good wit, and this is the appropriate (and safe) place to show it. Let's see some of it, please.
