Questions Only — the Christmas Edition

[countessalmirena]

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?

[countessalmirena]

Wouldn’t Santa be confused by a reference to thongs, given that his perspective would be European and conjure up ladies with insufficient bottom coverage?

[mytreechange]

Isn't Santa all-knowing, and would thus understand the Australian terminology, although possibly still having a chuckle to himself thinking of filling frilly bits of fabric with lumps of coal?

[countessalmirena]

Might Santa’s expertise be exaggerated by himself, as I’ve never seen his certificates displayed and there is reason to believe that he drinks too much beer or whisky or brandy to have as sharp a mind as he has been claiming?

[twyngwyn]

As we can thank Coca Cola for this disturbance, might we be better off just providing the Scotch and be done with it?

[mytreechange]

Is that the top shelf Scotch, or the watered-down stuff we serve to drunken Uncle Eddie at family gathrings?

[countessalmirena]

Have you found Uncle Eddie sneaking down in the middle of the night when staying over, to filch the good stuff if he’s able to get it from the locked liquor cabinet?

[twyngwyn]

Am I right in suspecting Santa stinks of booze, and the reindeer drop their dollops on unsuspecting kids?

[mytreechange]

Surely Santa uses a good cologne, which disguises the smell of booze, and in Australia wouldn't it be boomer poo instead?

[twyngwyn]

The roos in the top paddock might be put off by the stench of cheap wine and a three day growth, surely?

[countessalmirena]

Wouldn’t this lead to many intoxicated marsupials with bottles of wine hidden in their pouches while their poor joeys are abandoned at orphanages, leading to multiple arrests and a plethora of defendants ending up in kangaroo court?
