"What is the most uncomfortable question I can ask you?"
"When you were making the long-promised rotten chicken (which had been sitting in your car in the 90 degree summer heat for roughly a week and a half) art below, did you in fact fish the three pieces out of the trash with your bare hands (forgetting until just now to wash those hands afterwards) for another round of photos, because you hastily threw them away after the first set, which turned out blurry and poorly-lit?
yes.
not as impressive as the rotten vegetable art, despite the lengthy and conscious preparation time. but isn't that always how it is?
but seriously, folks, i can't think of one. remember, i can "answer" a question any way i please, so if a question makes me uncomfortable or i don't want to answer it the way the asker probably wants me to, i'll make a joke out of it, ramble on about arguably related things, or outright lie. any bit of submitted text can be the taking-off point for a bit of posted text, a concept that was the impetus of this project. "ask the box" was never "ask me a question and i'll provide a concise answer", even though i might do that from time to time; there isn't any logical algorithm here -- the most you can hope for is that my text is arguably related to your text. and sometimes, even that condition isn't met. so really, you're up the proverbial creek without a paddle. that said, here are a few possibilities:
- when you cry in your room, sobs echoing to the ears of no-one, alone at night and gazing at the wistful moon, what is troubling you?
- what is that one shameful secret you carry with you, which colors every thought, action and interaction with malevolent, black sorrow, hatred and guilt?
- will you tell me about what happened that day, the day you swore never to remember?
- detail your lascivious thoughts about anteaters.
- why do you find rahul gor so irrestistably attractive and overwhelmingly manly?
