lagilman: coffee or die (citron presse)

Busy busy day and probably tomorrow, too. So I'm handing this post over to y'all, with one caveat.

You have to answer "Why?"


Why what? You choose. Deep, shallow, serious, funny, thoughtful, flippant... go for it.

You will be graded for spelling.


A comment chosen not-quite-at-random will get a copy of STAYING DEAD (or can have it sent to someone else, if they prefer)

I have many "why" questions, but no "why" answers. Sorry!

Why? Because the voices in my head thought it would be a good idea at the time....

Why? Because if I don't have beautiful babies, who will? http://thetinytina.livejournal.com/

Pimping baby pictures. Sorry about that, I'm hormonally in a mommy mood. Please disregard if easily offended by small cute pink things.

Because I'm the mom, that's why. There really is a reason for it; I'm just not telling you what it is right now. We'll discuss it later.




You'd be amazed at how often this answer comes up in daily life...

Because it has to be done.

Because I wanted to!

Because most of my thinking is in kinesthetic/tactile/a bit of visual images. Add in a couple kinds of synesthesia, and any word-oriented telepath would have trouble navigating through my mind.

Because Billy Mays would have wanted it that way.

...because I stayed up way too late last night planting pretty flowers and killing zombies!

Because the evil robot overlords told me to. No reason at all, honest. *innocent look* *polishes halo*

Why? Because I drank too much wine.

I just couldn't help myself. Its light golden hue caught my eye from across the room. "I taste of citrus," it murmured, beckoning me closer. As I approached, it taunted me with notes of poached pear and pineapple. As if sensing my hesitation, it struck on a weaknesses of mine: butterscotch.

So, you see, I didn't stand a chance.

Because when you're forced to choose between two horrible choices, finding a third is the only option.

When asking oneself "Why?", one must also ask the question "Why not?" in order to explore all the options.

And the answer, of course, is 42.

Why? Because if no one did it, it wouldn't happen.

You have to answer "Why?"

Why is there air? To blow up basketballs.

Why?

Because if I don't step into the gap, it grows larger. Because there is no one else who can do the things the way that I do, say them the way I say them, and be ME. Because I must be the best ME that I can.

Because it doesn't matter which path you take, the tolls will come, and they'll be the same tolls and you can either pay them or sit idle, waiting for them to go away.

But if you pay them... Pay each of them... Pay out the pound of flesh, of mind, of soul until the very end... Then maybe it will have been worth it.

But you have to pay to find out.

My 3-year-old is in this stage, so I'll tell you what I told him yesterday:

"Because you'll get hurt."
"Because it's dangerous."
"Because it's an office chair, not a bumper car!"
"Because you'll fall and knock into something."
"Because... See, I told you so."

Here is the answer to your question, in riddle format.

Key?

Key low.

Your job: Figure it out and it will answer your question.

Hint: It isn't in English.
