Questions Only — the Christmas Edition

countessalmirena — Sat, 21 Dec 2024 08:10:10 GMT

Let’s try a new word game for the festive season.

The idea is to progress a scene or storyline, using questions only. We can only post one sentence per post, and it must be a question. Hopefully the scene can come to a natural conclusion with a funny ending, after a certain number of posts (let’s say between 10 and 20 questions… as a rough idea).

The person who finishes the scenario can then start the next “round” with a new scenario-starting question, and so on.

I envisage this lasting up to middle of January (hopefully), and then coming to an end as the Christmas season itself will have done.

(We can always start a non-Christmas edition in a new thread if this takes off.)

Please keep the scenarios to a Christmas theme, however vaguely or tenuously.

And we’re off!

Does Santa really give Christmas gifts to the reindeer?

Do the reindeer secretly hate their Secret Santa gifts?

Who’s saying that the reindeer don’t like glow-in-the-dark ties?

Why is the elf-on-the-shelf staring at me?

Was it that elf-on-the-shelf who gave the reindeer those glow in the dark ties?

Did Rudolph mistake a bright red glow-in-the-dark tie for a nose-warmer?

Might the nose-warmer come with batteries?

Was there a last-minute rush to the shops on Christmas Eve to buy batteries that weren't supplied with the shiny red nose-warmer?

Is the elf-on-the-shelf also battery-operated?

Has Santa discovered the elf-on-the-shelf hiding amongst the presents piled high in his sleigh?

Re: Questions Only — the Christmas Edition

sandypebbles — Sun, 22 Dec 2024 04:31:43 GMT

Was the elf-on-the-shelf discovered because he was vibrating due to being battery operated?

Re: Questions Only — the Christmas Edition

twyngwyn — Sun, 22 Dec 2024 04:48:16 GMT

Were the elf-on-the-shelf, Rudolph, the necktie and Santa, all flickering due to Chinese battery issues?

Re: Questions Only — the Christmas Edition

Are you telling me that Santa - Santa! - or an elf-on-the-shelf in Santa’s employ would dare to be importing cheap fakes from China in the festive season???????

Re: Questions Only — the Christmas Edition

Why am I not surprised that Santa and the elf-on-the-shelf, Rudolph, the necktie, (and possibly the angel on the tree) have upset countess with their foreign batteries?

Re: Questions Only — the Christmas Edition

If the angel on the tree is flickering, how do the rest of the fairy lights compete?

Re: Questions Only — the Christmas Edition

countessalmirena — Sun, 22 Dec 2024 07:24:43 GMT

Isn’t it true that the flickering is the precursor to a gigantic explosion in the aftermath of which the reindeer and elves and Christmas fairy will all emerge looking sootier than if they’d gone down the chimney?

Re: Questions Only — the Christmas Edition

mytreechange — Sun, 22 Dec 2024 07:29:14 GMT

How will we celebrate Christmas if the tree, the decorations, all the presents, the reindeer and the elves are involved in a gigantic explosion?

Re: Questions Only — the Christmas Edition

countessalmirena — Sun, 22 Dec 2024 07:33:28 GMT

Shouldn’t Santa be responsible if he’s the secret battery importer and started this whole débâcle?

Re: Questions Only — the Christmas Edition

mytreechange — Sun, 22 Dec 2024 07:37:35 GMT

Does Santa have comprehensive insurance to cover any damage from cheap Chinese battery explosions?

Re: Questions Only — the Christmas Edition

Is SnowSure Superhoho Insurance the relevant company?
