As in, besides things that effectively kill/maim/torture people....
Do Telmarines know how to cook, or do they have slaves for that?
Who did the Telmarines' work for them when they lived in Telmar?

Nope.
YES!!!!!!!!
Eww... no.
WE ARE NOT DUFFERS!
No.
They teach much history and little math.
He's kinda weird.
Yup.
Naw, it looks fine.
I don't know; you seem plenty friendly to me.
Yes.
Ehrm... yeah.
Yup.
Yep.
Depending on your definition of useful...
We have slaves for that.
Calormenes.

We are very kind to our slaves. We give them humane lodging, filling meals, and vacations.
Hmmm... nope.
Nope.
Nope.
Nope.
Nope.
Toodles is not weird, and he has a moral objection to your namecalling. Namecalling, notes his ethics text, "exhibits the inward state of the slanderer, proving to all that he cannot argue rationally and therefore feels he must resort to dishonest means, such as ad hominem arguments." Toodles also notes that namecalling is childish, and, as the Apostle Paul said, it is high time for you to "put away childish things."
Vacations...to Calormen? Is that why the Calormenes and the Telmarines have been traditionally rude to one another? And how did these ancient Calormene slaves end up in Calormen anyway?
Oh, and...
Telmarines. Are. Duffers.
*evil laugh*

Should I go outside and shoot things once I get back from shopping?
Should I take over the world while my sisters are away at work and college?
Should I follow through on this application at Wendy's?

No, vacations to Terebinthia, Galma, or the Seven Isles.
No.
We don't ask our slaves personal questions.
(By the way, I think the version of your post that I quoted is much better than the original version.)

Yes.
Sure; I'll help you. Remember, my share of the deal is that I get all the donut shops.
Yes. I told you about fast food!
Yes. I told you about fast food!
I dropped off my application and five minutes later they called to set up an interview.
What are the odds that JoAnn's will call for an interview too?
Should I try to get a job at JoAnn's even though I've heard it's no fun to work there?
Is stalking one's Knight in Shining Armor frowned upon?

^I applied to JoAnn's, and they wouldn't hire me because I couldn't work Sundays. Well, that and it was right before Thanksgiving and I wouldn't have been able to work that week, so we pretty much knew they wouldn't want me, but my dad wanted me to apply anyway. But the Sunday thing ticked me off.
Are you horrified that I just ended a sentence with a preposition?
Do Telmarines ever end sentences with prepositions?
If so, do they know it is grammatically incorrect?

Telmarines should avoid thinking whenever possible. The thoughtful state, when found in Telmarines, has resulted in disastrous consequences for being such as Pacific islanders, Narnians, and Duffers. Not to mention the Telmarines themselves. If Miraz hadn't thought so much, he wouldn't have been goaded *ahem* into accepting Peter's challenge. And he would have lived. And the Telmarines would have ruled Narnia forever.
Duffers, however, come up with wonderful things when they think (which is not all the time). Wonderful things such as Cliffs, and Cliff, and Sushi, and Miraz, and Bunny (poor Bunny), and Fred the Box, and the Shiny Can. Telmarines are not half so versatile. They focus on executing People, and imprisoning People, and torturing People, and destroying consiousness of the noble Art of History among the young, etc., etc.
Why can't Telmarines be more imaginative?
By the way, Toodles says that your alteration of my meaning in your quotation of my post is contrary to good ethics, for it evinces deceit.

1 in 25.
Depends on your hours at Wendy's.
Naw.

No; that was an adverb. Diagram it. You'll see.
No.
Yes.
Because we are too distracted by you annoying Duffers.
What does Toodles know?
Naw.
That's good.
Next question: Is pestering the little brother of one's Knight in Shining Armor considered wrong?
What if said little brother is older than one?
Will the fact that one of my friends is a manager at Wendy's make things better or worse if I get a job there?
What does Toodles know?
Well, Toodles knows about the smell of your socks, the sad state of your dresser, the times you forget to make your bed.... He also knows that the floor of your room is incredibly cold, and he doesn't understand why you won't at least let him use your sleeping bag.
Toodles also knows enough about ethics to get his doctorate in it, if he were smart enough. Unfortunately, as we have already established, he is not as smart as Sushi (or he would not hang around you), so he has settled for giving free lectures on a circuit around the country. Toodles knows that gratitude is highly ethical, and therefore he is very grateful for the jets that speed him home to your room every night.
Why won't you let Toodles use your sleeping bag? Compassion is also highly ethical.
Why do I like the smells of fresh paint, Sharpies, and new vinyl?
Sharpiessssssssssssss..........

Nope. Little brothers were made to be pestered. Just ask me (oh wait, you just did
). I am one.Aah, that's okay. He's still a little brother.
Probably better.
The longer that incompetent Buffalo Bill (much more J.P. Losman than Jim Kelly) stays on my floor, the worse. Once he realizes that he's not going to get my precious sleeping bag, he ought to move if he has a scrap of sense. That's kinda the point. I DON'T LIKE TOODLES AND I WANT HIM TO LEAVE ME ALONE! THAT IS WHY I CONSTANTLY PLAY REPLAYS OF THE FOUR BUFFALO BILLS SUPER BOWL LOSSES WHEN HE'S AROUND! PLEASE GET THAT STRAIGHT!
'Cause you're strange. Which isn't necessarily a bad thing.

I think you're mistaken. Aren't little brothers made to pester?
Do you like Tangled?
Should I go to bed now or read for a while?

Well, they serve dual purposes.
I've never seen it.
Oh, definitely, read.
