Would it be rude to say no?

Don't Vogons like rudeness?

Do you think I want to have to gnaw one of my own legs off?

I'm sorry but that isn't bad enough to approach vogonic levels of badness. In fact, it is actually quite a pleasant poem. It has just the right amount of darkness.

Should creatures who break the only questions rule in this thread be submitted to a 24-hour reading of Vogon poetry or would that constitute excessive cruelty?

pdurrant · 09-01-2019, 01:42 PM

Who else thinks that's too harsh for a first offence?

Thank you? *blushing*

Isn't it a thankless thread, in fact?

Must I apologize for my horrible mistake? Can I recover from the horrible error? Is it possible that I mistook this thread for another thread? Can the thread handle the occasional error? Would I be in error if I assumed I could survive full, unadulterated, exposure the vogon poetry?

drjd · 09-02-2019, 02:55 PM

Would I survive answering so many questions at a time?

Could you redeem yourself with a quick edit of the offending post?

Did they survive after reading all that vogon poetry?

Shouldn't "vogon" have a capital "V"?

pdurrant · 09-03-2019, 07:58 AM

Should human always have a capital?

You mean, like London? Or Washington DC?
