Is :lol: a valid question?

Would :?: or :? be valid questions?

In the "Stupid Question, Stupid Answer" thread would

Would no, no (only if used appropriately and ended with a :?:) and yes suffice? Isn't this the "Questions only" thread?

Does questing for quality questions quickly qualify as querulousness or is Queen Sue questing quantity of quandry? :roll:

How about "good job? Algot?"

Hirsute hooligans have heretofore harangued, hoodwinked & hijacked the hoi polli hereabouts with their alliterative hucksterism. Henceforth, such hateful high-handed heresy shall be halted here, hear ?!
