I propose a game. Our resident improv artist, FB, might be especially familiar with this. The point is to have an entire conversation in only questions.

I'll start:

Hey - who put that cactus here?

Why should wow be penalized for emphasizing an obvious question with an exclamation mark? wow, this does not mean I have declared a truce in our baseball tug-of-war

Shouldn't we be devising a new punctuation mark to signify exclamatory questions, like that what wow just said, like?

What are you doing here on-topic, mavarchierick?

...is there another pairing?

Why does the simple, generic act of speaking out against injustice always seem to trigger the gossip-mongers? Why can't someone offer this noble gesture to even the likes of Red Sox fans if need be?

And why shouldn't there be a new punctuation mark to indicate an exclamated question to save me the dilemma of pissing off the Punctuation Gods time and time again?!?!?!???

>Look again, why don't you? Did I not say, "haven't you ever heard of an interrobang?!"?
Tell me again won't you? Does half a question look like a full question to you?

>Speaking of questions, may one call the history of sausages Bangerlore?
Do you think I do not know what your actual question is?
Do you think I don't know that you actually wanted to ask, "May one call a certain abundance Bang-galore?"?

(Enough? I win?)
