JCC I hate emoticons - why don't you?

Sarge, you're the one who decided to read further, not my fault

 

Emoticons are fine, but man, some people in here gave it their best shot at ruining them for everyone. Oh, here:

 

How do you know that biker is gay? He might just really be into leather. And mustaches.

 

lol.... language warning.

Spoiler

 

Only Americans confuse sarcasm with sincerity, and have to say "oh that was sarcasm by the way" - entirely defeating the point of it in the first place.

Speaking of, this emoticon is utterly arse:

It should be on fire, much better that way.

 

Ewok Poet says you're wrong, man.

 

Has anyone ever used non-sarcastically?

 

I lurk at a Chicago Bulls message board and they have a rule that sarcastic posts have to be written in green. True story.

 

Remember the deluge of "NEVAR FORGETS SEPTEMBAR ELEVENS" signatures?

And you know the J-Rods and other conservatives do.

 

That seems like a reasonable measure to avoid people confusing a statement that contemptuously imparts irony with one of sincerity.

I'm listening to a record of someone's elderly relative chewing porridge on a tundra. Borrowed it from Gordon Brown.

 

I always figured he was into weird ASMR crap.

"Compare this with the focus-grouped insanity of Gordon Brown – who was once briefed to declare his love for Arctic Monkeys, despite it being perfectly clear that the only records he actually owns are field recordings of someone’s ancient mother chewing porridge on a tundra – and what Osborne has done seems positively admirable. "

 

Yeah, it's a good idea.

 

Thanks for the assist.
