A story:
We went to the Krispy Kreme store in Seattle one night...it was near the end of a Mariner's game (which we did not attend) and the store was at that moment cranking out the gooey goodness that is Diabetic Coma Donut. As we walked in, cold, tired, hungry....a worker handed each of us a free, hot, fresh Krispy Kreme. My darling took his donut and said "America is the greatest country in the world."
The end.
And btw, after 2 advanced degrees in English and a teaching post for the last 9 years, I'd like to know....what
IS the definition of irony?

QUOTE
Irony is a form of utterance that postulates a double audience, consisting of one party that hearing shall hear & shall not understand, & another party that, when more is meant than meets the ear, is aware both of that more & of the outsiders’ incomprehension.
Irony threatens authoritative models of discourse by "removing the semantic security of ‘one signifier : one signified’"; irony has some of its foundation in the onlooker’s perception of paradox which arises from insoluble problems.
SourceSo that clears that up, then.

Funny thing. Wanted to make a sandwich last night. Went to the silverware drawer to get me a cutting implement. What did I find? 10,000 bloody spoons. Couldn't help thinking to myself, "Well, isn't that... the biggest silverware drawer. Ever."

Now that you mention it, unbeknownst to all, I have been posting from Death Row for a crime I did not commit. I got my execution order last night. Meanwhile up in Sacremento, Arnie realized this gross miscarriage of justice and demanded I be pardoned. Unfortunately, it was 2 minutes too late. Which was......well, it meant I was dead. Coincidentally, I won the lottery only the day before.

Heh, after I gave the shuttle driver a buck and sat down, a big sign that said, "Free Shuttle Service" stared right back at me. I was too embarassed to ask him for my dollar back.

OK, in my defence, I did offer doughnuts at my place. Not my fault no one bothered to show up. (I even got the twiglets out.)
Also, I'm a crap liar.
And I'm not very good at percentages.

This poll is the result of blood, sweat, tears, gravy, egg, red wine, even blackcurrant juice. Just to know that I have the respect of one lowly - some might say, unbelievably low* - member makes it all worthwhile, brother Dean.
*Not me. I'm pretty sure it was one of those Canadian chicks.

And so, to celebrate Robert de Niro's 64th birthday today, some benevolent movie fan has crowned the occasion by becoming the 64th member of this poll. Thank you, anonymous donor.
