Re: The OFFICIAL Irony thread
It remains ironic that nothing is irony.
Re: The OFFICIAL Irony thread
Because if you're claiming something isn't ironic because of either of those factors, than you have to admit that the inverse of that factor would make it ironic. Which it clearly doesn't. Mantecore clause is null.Jerloma wrote:Why do either of them have to be ironic at all?P.D.X. wrote:Which is more ironic…Jerloma wrote:This is the same rule that applies to Siegfried or Roy (they all look the same to me) getting attacked by a tiger. If someone is going to get killed by an elephant, you'd completely expect it to be someone who spends a lot of time around elephants. It's as ironic as an electrician dying from getting electrocuted.
A. A completely inexperienced person getting shocked (or trampled) to death
B. An expert getting shocked (or trampled) to death
I'd go with B every time. "A" is much more expected.

Re: The OFFICIAL Irony thread
Believe me, I only (butcheringly) invoked the clause there for Jerloma's sake, and it would make everyone's life a hell of a lot easier if we all just agreed that it's totally ironic. But isn't it possible that the majority of deaths at the hands of captive animals involve a trained professional? (i.e. NO YOU SHOW YOUR WORK, BUSTER!)

Because it's the UNOFFICIAL frustrate Jerloma thread.
Until everything is less insane, I'm mixing weed with wine.
Re: The OFFICIAL Irony thread
I don't think that B is the inverse of A. An inexperienced person that knows nothing about elephants but decides to walk in an elephant cage and gets killed is not the opposite of what you'd expect. An experienced person that spends most of his time in an elephant cage and gets killed by an elephant is not the opposite of what you'd expect. Sure...you can apply all of the subjective probability that you'd like to either of these scenarios but that doesn't make either of them ironic.P.D.X. wrote:Gonna show your work on that one?Jerloma wrote:That's just...no.

It wouldn't be so painful if y'all conceded that I'm the ultimate judge, jury, and executioner here, and you simply accepted my eternal wisdom as a favor.

Oh, I get it..the irony was putting something in the thread that's not at all ironic. That would be the Morrissette Claus.

Re: The OFFICIAL Irony thread
This isn't irony, but I do like the fact that Steve Buscemi, whose most celebrated role is arguably a guy who doesn't tip, is regarded as one of the best celebrity tippers around.

Not totally Irony as it's more shitty luck, but did anyone happen to catch what happened to the guy who created the game Operation?

It has gotten to the point where "ironic" is used as more than just a substitute for "coincidence."Jerloma wrote:Al Michaels thinks everything is ironic.
During Toronto's election coverage, a reporter said that it was "ironic" that even though Rob Ford dropped out of the Mayoral race and his brother who replaced him lost the election, his nephew was elected as School Trustee for one of the wards in Toronto.
GRRR...

A nugget in this article :
Rep. Paul Ray, R-Clearfield, said Utah does not now have the "cocktail" of drugs needed to carry out executions by lethal injection and needs to be prepared to do so with a firing squad.
"The European company that makes this [drug cocktail] is refusing to sell to the United States because they’re opposed to the death penalty,"

Needed some help tonight explaining to the kids why I included a song about a child buying shoes for his dying mother before she meets Jesus on a huge (in terms of the number of songs!) collection of Christmas music I burned 9 or 10 years ago.
I felt aswirl with warm secretions.
