Was your remark ironic? Certainly not. That rules out definition one.

Valid point, but I take issue with the "often." When you take away the irony from sarcasm, what do you have left? A simple insult. No beauty. No wit. Just a slur, a derogatory remark devoid of any sort of literary flourish.

Verbal assaults without irony-laced sarcasm are as graceful as a fat man in high heels.

To me, irony is an inseparable part of sarcasm, and I won't insult someone without proper usage. It's just good manners.

He lost me on that one too. I wasn't going to say anything though, for fear of making a fool out of myself.

I do that enough as is!

Ok...maybe it was a bit of a stretch but MachFive's last comment reminded me of the 'Argument' sketch from Monty Python.

Yeah, but when I'm pushing up daisies in the 9th level of Banneddom, it would be a nice little something to remember me by.

I mean, if you throw out your Assmaster, of course.

Mach5...you're hired as the new moderator as the last one just quit. He/she/it doesn't like the big gulp size can of whoopass you just opened up on him/her/it.

I'll pass. I had my fill of locking threads and stopping forum spamming when I was a moderator on the official Counter-Strike forums.

This one?

Ayup!

Never saw that one. But thanks to you, I got to read it, and it was good.

And the peasents rejoiced.

Must be seen/heard to enjoy it best. Their delivery is just dead-on!
