Did you ever want to play questions?

Could we do that by querying each post in the thread by number, an skipping those without a response?


eg:

curl https://bbs.boingboing.net/t/do-you-need-to-play-questions-space-invader/54417/15618

although that retrieves several posts.
I guess we could automate that?

Why is curl --help so d**n verbose? If I need basic help, will that data-dump really fill me with confidence?

Don’t you think that would be a surprise? Don’t you think they’ll appreciate her lectures on the influence of dialectical marxism on the rise of punk in the U.K. in the 1970s?

Can I sneak in and watch? Wouldn’t that be a highlight in life? Do you think they’d appreciate my constant laughter?

So if I can shut up for a while, and @japhroaig can take some time off from swapping rep-stats with his new bro-coders, can’t he overtake me? FINALLY?

Would it make you feel better to know there’s been a huge spike in posts and it’s usually not this exciting but the conversations about Rumchata are worth sticking around for?

How long ago was the title of this thread changed from “Do you want to play questions?” to “Do you NEED to play questions?”? Or am I hallucinating? (Do I get extra points for three ?s in one sentence?)

Am I a bad, bad person, or just an interesting person? Was the title change not subtle enough?

At my age, do you think I can remember such details? Ask me who played the original Clarabelle the Clown on Howdy Doody or the co-creator of the first digital musical instrument, not something from last month?
