BranShea do you really want to know the disappointing truth about your chances of winning a prize in this thread? Or, perhaps, the truth about your chances for winning a disappointing prize? Or, perhaps better still, a prize for disappointing?

More to the point a prize for disappointing?  Yes please, can I have half the truth of it? btw.Tom Stoppard, is that the man of The Shakespeare Adventure? Or was it Poseidon in Love?

Would I be punished for pointing out that morphememedley's posts are unquestionably in violation of the rule? One can have, can't he, the unfortunate adventure of thinking he is entering into absurdist banter, then finding himself in the stocks being japed by ostensible protectors of Rule.

ok, since I started this game, I'll end it, because it seems that feeling are being hurt, and that, of course, was never the intention.
I always try to use smileys with my gentle jabs, to show that we're all in this together. though I guess sometimes they don't read well.
I started this game, after some time-travel through the archives here, seeing a previous version, and thought it would be fun to do it again. the game has one Rule: all posts must be in the form of a question.
game over.

Should I have used smileys in my teasing comments?

No, the disappointer post was a one that really made me laugh.It sure was a good one. Is why I used the smiley I really like. The half thruth was a comment on a Stoppard quote. Do you mind smileys? (They are horridly ugly but I like the laugher.) See? (but Morph's might have had one) The question mark was not so hard to guess, but some people (me too) often want to know the why of the why. Silly maybe, but...

Thus far I've been of the opinion that emoticons would not be likely to help me in my efforts to express myself, though they might be fun to play with in combination sometime.
The accusation of hijacking the thread took the discussion to a quantum other plane—ironically.

Surely all this here was not meant seriously at all and much ado about little. I thought the post in question was more self irony of the writer than serious accusations.(the importance of being earnest?)

How could a talk-with-my-hand/make-faces person like me communicate without smileys?

Here's to you all off topic threadwise but on topic for the loftiest, warmest and sunniest day of this spring__ W.A. Mozart's Luci Care. With a regular board smile for etaoin cause I cannot steal his well designed one twice.
