There was a thread about conversational ninja techniques, and I thought it would fit in there, but I couldn't find it. So I thought I'd start a thread.

Wouldn't this go in Switchboard, or even Head Shop?

Aside, a good read. This administration seems to be built on non sequitors. Press conferences are too awkward and painful for me to watch anymore.

Seems fine here to me... I think the points being raised are applicable to more fields than just politics.

Now, whether to have a bit of back and forth about the use of non-sequiters by the governing elite, or simply just have a thread composed entirely of non-sequiters?

Decisions, decisions...

I never met a non-sequiter I didn't like. Self referential statements are great as well.

All this time I thought they were non-sequitOrs. Time to take my goddamn brain outside and burn it.

And I think it's marvellous, all the things they can do with plastics these days.

Too late, she cried, and waved her wooden leg.

That´s the one!

Debbie: This French champagne...
Iggy: (Domestic!)
Debbie: so good for the brain.
Iggy: That's what I was gonna say!
Debbie: Well, you know you're a brilliant fellow.
Iggy: Thank you, I am!

Those aren't non sequiturs, or rather non sequuntur. It's party conversation, from "Did You Ever", from Cole Porter's High Society.

If you shine a light in his face, he suddenly disappears.
