    I want to start a debate in the DU style, and will start it sometime reasonably soon

    I have some topic ideas, but it needs to be something obscenely complex and silly, so topics should be posted onto this.

    Also say if you want to join

    I will give a final topic sometime between now and the apocalypse

    You know, I think you should let DU handle it. He has the flair and intelligence to come up with something funny, interesting and debatable.

    I would, but DU doesn't actually show up here anymore. He has other dopefish to fry.

    Does Icairus have the ability to start a debate in the DU style and if such debate was started, should it start sometime reasonably soon or sometime between now and the apocalypse and further more, should the debate be about something that's obscenely complex or should the topic be relatively simple and should others have the option for a say on the topic or should it be decided by Icairus, while finally, who should take part in this debate?

    What exactly are these debate things about, I don't think I've ever seen one.

    But punting a kitten might be fun, I should try it. :)

    OMIGOD! That really is the number for the White House! I phoned the Nasa number first (it had been disconnected, how hilarious is that?) and then I phoned the second number, and a lady picked up and said, "The White House." Me:(in utter disbelief) "Uh, um, ......uh, I'm sorry, I've phoned the wrong number" Her: "Alright, sir. Bye bye."

    Damn that was ...... exhilirating.

    Oh, yeah, she sounded really hot, too.

    Have you tried the # for the Kremlin, yet?
    Or are you just going to skip to the saucer?

    Douglas Addams: RIP.

    Bastard could've finished "The Salmon of Doubt" before copping it, though.

    Your phone bill is a lot less if you call from a cell phone instead of your home phone. Or you could use a calling card. Or call collect. That would be a good way to bankrupt Russia.

    Damn. If I wasn't married, I would call that number listed for the Kremlin in a heartbeat. After that lady picked up and said, "The White House?" I believe that sig of yours isn't a crock of shit. You guys called the White House yet? I think what I'm gonna do is call and ask to speak to George. Or make a prank call using some celebrity soundboards.

    Yeah, then the CIA would bust down my door...

    Should the debate occur, despite the popular opinion against it? If it should, would kitten punting be an appropriate topic, or should that be shut down due to the fact that it offends other small animals? How does this topic of an unlikely debate and kitten punting get redirected into commentary about a signature? Or is there a secret relationship between kitten punting and my signature? Are the numbers on my signature for real, or were they merely fiction created by Douglas Adams?

    Dude, I'm sorry for derailing your thread, but call that White House number if you think I'm bull-shitting. I'm serious as a heart attack, a woman's voice said, "The White House" when I called. I can't believe it still. I think tomorrow, I'm going to call the number from a different phone just to prove to myself that the number is real.

    Call it. Seriously.

    (I still think it's hilarious that the number for NASA was a disconnected number.)
