Is it possible to make a coherent thread consisting entirely of questions?

I don't think we can predict the end, do you? Do we have enough evidence and data to make an accurate prediction about this so-called “end”? What do you think such an end might be like? Will it be a whimper or a bang? There is always the possibility that this questioning could continue on forever, no?

do you think there is any point in repeatedly asking about the thread? i mean, dont you think it s a bit self absorbed?

didnt any of you do anything exciting today?

i mean, did any of YOU go for a coffee with my mum, like i did?

or did you phone NTL, only to find that they are even more of a pack of bastards than they needed to be to fulfil your worst imaginings?

did you get the feeling one of your friends from the internet was maybe contemplating suicide?

is this turning into a new type of conversation?
it feels a bit like a writing exercise, dont you think?

can i put a post script?
do you think should have checked the replies above me after having left this window open for so long?

And have you found yourself talking in questions everywhere else?

If I write "No, I didn't go for coffee with my Mum" does that make this an answer?

Isn't this how counsellors speak, asking questions all the time?

Do you think this thread is providing a similar type of therapy?

Would you like to tell me about your childhood?

18:35 / 05.06.03

Would you like to tell me about your arse?

18:55 / 05.06.03

shouldnt the question be phrased "tell me about your arse", if you were a Psycho The Rapist?

18:59 / 05.06.03

arent they usually a bit pushier?

20:20 / 05.06.03

Would you like me to demonstrate just how pushy a psychotherapist can be?

Did I observe some avoidance of the question regarding your childhood?

Isn't your frown really just an outward manifestation of how much you want my head to implode?

is that what that buzzing sound is?

02:55 / 06.06.03

No, I think it's the engine--are we there yet?

Why's it taking so long?

What if I have to pee? Then what will we do? Where will I go pee? You don't want me to pee in that jar, do you? Is there a rest stop coming up? You don't think I'm kidding do you? Do you want me to pee my pants? Did we pack some extra clothes? We're not going to pull over there, are we? Why didn't you remind me to pee before we left? What do you mean I'm always blaming things on you? Doesn't that sound a little crazy? You don't really think I'm scared of you, do you? Oh--now you want me to shut up? What if I don't want to shut up? What are you going to do then? Are you looking to start trouble? Don't you realize my bladder is about to burst? I don't think this is the time, if you know what I mean? What don't you understand about that? Why must you always carry on like this? You think I'm going to take that kind of crap? You know what my mother asked me about you? She asked me, "When are you going to kill that fucker?" You know what I said?
