Can we return to playing a game please?

[Sally, la reina]

yes

no

[Suefly]

Did they jump to save other people?

[Cynthia]

This game gives me a headache. I am a poor sport about games.

Take two naked jumpers and call me in the morning.

[Phil]

Is it important that it's the Grand Canyon?

[Sally, la reina]

yes

stop opening the thread

ha ha

yes

OK, Jim, will do.

[Phil]

Hmmm. Anyone know why five naked people would jump from a great height to save other people, without parachutes or some such?

[Lobstergirl, el principe]

Is any of them Evel Knievel?

[Sally, la reina]

no

yes or no questions only Myles, as much as I want to answer that one can you rephrase please?

[Lobstergirl, el principe]

Are they all adults?

[Sally, la reina]

that makes me sad to consider. yes.

[Lobstergirl, el principe]

Did they jump to decrease the weight of cargo on a plane?

[Sally, la reina]

sort of. no because not all of this is correct.

[Lobstergirl, el principe]

Did they jump to decrease the weight of a balloon?

[Sally, la reina]

Ding ding ding ding!

[Jackie "the Librarian"]

But why were they naked?

[Sally, la reina]

Because they first tried removing clothes to remove weight?

[Lobstergirl, el principe]

Ohhhhhhhhhhhh.

[Scout]

So, why would the last one jump?

[Sally, la reina]

Did I say there were only five in the balloon ever? Just five bodies found. Maybe one got away.

[Scout]

You got me. Great game!

[Rachel]

Then it brings about the question why on earth would five people willingly sacrifice their lives for one lucky sod? They can't all be his/her parents. Grandparents, too? Does the survivor feel bad at all?

[JackieB]

Hi, I'm new. I hope it's OK to join if if you haven't finished playing.
My answer to Rachel's question is that the last person in the balloon was a hypnotist who hypnotised the others into jumping. Just my theory....

[Sarah]

Yay! New Jackie is now JackieB and has a picture!

[Jim]

Is that short for Jackie Blue? I like that song.

[Scout]

That does seem a good question, Rachel, and a plausible explanation, JackieB. Jackie Brown was a cool movie character.

[Sally, la reina]

I like your questioning Rachel. I'm not sure if I have that much of an answer/conclusion to the story yet. It was just a yarn I started pulling back in my camp counselor days that I've never quite stopped telling.

[Rachel]

JackieB, that explanation is kinda cool.

And Sally, aww man. New game, then?

[JackieB]

Jim wrote: "Is that short for Jackie Blue? I like that song."

It could be after Jackie Blue. I was just trying to make it clear that I wasn't Jackie the Librarian. Didn't want to cause confusion.
OK, so I'm not sure how adding a "B" really clarifies anything, but after a hard day at work on Friday it made sense and now I'm sticking with it.

[Jim]

It's good to have conviction.

[Sally, la reina]

Ok. New round.

A man is driving on the highway. He turns on the radio, pulls over, and gets a gun out of his glove box and shoots himself in the head.

Why?

[Phil]

Rush Limbaugh.

[Sally, la reina]

Uh...........no.

[Jim]

Does it have to do with aliens?

[Sally, la reina]

no

[Jim]

Does he die?

[janine]

was he alone in his car?

[Sally, la reina]

yes

no

yes

[JackieB]

Was he listening to the news?

[Sally, la reina]

no

[Phil]

Had he committed a crime?

[Cynthia]

Had he just been to a campaign rally for Michelle Bachman?

[Sally, la reina]

depends on what you consider to be a crime, moral or ethical, but I'm going to say no.

[Cynthia]

Hmmm.

[Sally, la reina]

Sorry Cynthia, ccp on yours.

No.

[Cynthia]

No problem.

[Sarah]

Had he just found out he had been implicated in a crime? Is he Bernie Madoff?

[Sally, la reina]

again, depending on your definition of criminal acts, but I'm going to say no.
and hahaha, no.

[Sally, la reina]

yes;
