Why are we here?

Re: Has there been a question thread before?
 

Were you reading my mind, UV? And how do you pronounce your name, anyway? And what does it mean?

And didn't Rush answer that question, DS? Wasn't it "Because we're here... roll the bones"? http://www.ironworksforum.com/ubb/no...miles/dice.gif http://www.ironworksforum.com/ubb/no...miles/dice.gif

What's with the dice?

Re: Has there been a question thread before?
 

Couldn't you read my mind, linking seemingly unrelated things?

Did you notice the elegant way I took DS' question (why are we here), which is also a line from a Rush song (Roll the bones), which is a metaphor for taking a chance, since dice used to be made out of finger bones in years gone by, and rolling the dice (or bones) was a way of saying you were taking a chance, and linked all that into an obscure reference?

Everyone notice that I'm a very mad bird now? So try not to make me angry, okay?

Re: Has there been a question thread before?
 

But if you are already a Very Mad Bird it isn't it too late to issue that warning?
And was that really a question?

Re: Has there been a question thread before?
 

If I say "very carefully, and only after several stiff drinks, thus avoiding unnecessary dislocation of your tongue" and, coincidentally based on the drinking issue, "unbelievable chaos" will that answer your questions?

Re: Has there been a question thread before?
 

And was that supposed to be some kind of existentialist question or merely a throwaway à propos of nothing much?

And who will post the 600th item in this ridiculous thread?

Re: Has there been a question thread before?
 

Am I supposed to be scared, now that you're a mad bird, Kakero? Doesn't my orange smile both repulse and intrigue you?

And UV, does that mean your name can only be pronounced in fluent drunkenese?

BTW, is 595 close enough to 600 in this thread? Who's read the other pages recently?
