What's white and cold and full of nothing?

How am I supposed to eat my cereal with nothing? And with a crow gawking at me, to boot! Jonny, your taste in animal companions leaves much to be desired. Why couldn't you have found a cow? At least we would have milk

Think you gonna find a lot of things in this here City got minds, and the thugs ain't no exception.

[conundrumking]

I asked specifically for mindless thugs. There have to be a few of them hiding with their more thoughtful brethren.

[blue_satin_pjs]

But what makes you think they be readin' you on the Network?

One gots to wonder, too, why you seekin' thugs for your groceries.

[conundrumking]

Mindless and illiterate aren't necessarily synonymous. I've met plenty of mindless intellectuals.

That is a puzzle! Tell me when you have a guess.

[metousiosis]

They just are.

[conundrumking]

Are you implying that some random, mechanical, mindless process is to blame for their invention? That there's no reason behind their discrepant taste and name?

[metousiosis]

If there is no logic to it, should there be?

[conundrumking]

There is logic to everything. To deny logic is to deny the existence of answers and reason. Are you willing to do that?

[kingofatlantis]

Just t'piss you off, I think.

[conundrumking]

That's not a bad answer, considering how well they're doing that.

Do you have a mind?

[kingofatlantis]

I do, n'fact, sorry.

[conundrumking]

Would you suspend it for a price?

[is_fear_itself]

Why don't you use half a dozen creamers?

Besides, a cow would never fit in my library.

..you're not teasing him, are you?

[conundrumking]

Because I don't want to use creamers. If I wanted to use them, I would have.

Jonathan! I don't tease anything that could potentially remove my finger.

[is_fear_itself]

Well you shouldn't be so picky.

I'm coming in there to make sure you're not throwing cereal at him. Not that I don't trust you.

...but I don't trust you.

[action?]

[conundrumking]

You shouldn't be so frugal, especially where guests are concerned.

I'm hurt, Jonny. Deeply.

[is well on the opposite side of the kitchen, avoiding the crow and not, amazingly, throwing anything at it]

[mottoaiokomete]

The answer to your first question: your refrigerator.

A cow can't sit on one's shoulder.

[conundrumking]

Jonathan's refrigerator, more specifically. You were close enough.

Neither can a blood-thirsty fiend!

[mottoaiokomete]

Sharing a refrigerator? Tsk-tsk. It should be filled, then, with two of you.

A pity. A neck is so wonderfully close to the jugular.

[conundrumking]

Thank you for responding, but I try to avoid extended conversations with psychopaths. Adieu, sir-or-madame.
