For the record, not to be answered by the rule: considering one of the answers, Kaylee does not hate Whirligig. Kaylee likes Whirligig, and all of the LTPF-ers, very much. *hugs* I do hope this was not Whirligig's true opinion of Kaylee, although I have yet to see what sort of rule would prompt such an answer? Whirligig may answer this concern as Whirligig, without said rule. | ||

Am I the master of all gigantic fried doughs that are made with rotten eggs and Ramen Noodles? Is Jim Calhoun the coach of the University of Connecticut Basketball team that will hopefully win the National Championship This Year? If I were a girl, would I get a sex change operation so I would be a guy and no longer subject to the fact that I would have had to undergo a sex change to change from male to female? And is it even biologically possible to get two sex change operations? O, say can you see by the dawn's early light, What so proudly we hailed at the twilight's last gleaming, Whose broad stripes and bright stars through the perilous fight, O'er the ramparts we watched, were so gallantly streaming? And the rockets' red glare, the bombs bursting in air, Gave proof through the night that our flag was still there; O say does that star-spangled banner yet wave, O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave? On the shore, dimly seen through the mists of the deep, Where the foe's haughty host in dread silence reposes, What is that which the breeze, o'er the towering steep, As it fitfully blows, half conceals, half discloses? | ||

Well, I've noticed that the number of words in each answer matches the number of words in the question - is there more to it than that? | ||
