Irony

[ReZourceman]

Wow, I just had to bring this to peoples attentions.

http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/england/manchester/7141752.stm

Its a news story about some Manchester United fans engaging in combat with some other teams fans and like..getting stabbed and such. The line that stood out and actually made me spurt out was this ;

None of the stabbed fans suffered serious injuries.

What, apart from getting stabbed?!

Seriously, has the world gone mad?

[Jordan]

Well, if they got stabbed in the little finger a tiny bit... thats not serious.

Btw:
The ironing is delicious.

2 points for anyone whos knows what thats from.

[ReZourceman]

Simpsons....?

Irony? We recently recieved a tonne of misdirected mail - like, dvds and bank statements and special recorded delivery things. Shorty took it to the post office to forward them, and it turned out that it was the post office's mail.

We lollered.

An old man turned ninety-eight
He won the lottery and died the next day
It's a black fly in your Chardonnay
It's a death row pardon two minutes too late
And isn't it ironic... don't you think

It's like rain on your wedding day
It's a free ride when you've already paid
It's the good advice that you just didn't take
Who would've thought... it figures

Mr. Play It Safe was afraid to fly
He packed his suitcase and kissed his kids goodbye
He waited his whole damn life to take that flight
And as the plane crashed down he thought
"Well isn't this nice..."
And isn't it ironic... don't you think

It's like rain on your wedding day
It's a free ride when you've already paid
It's the good advice that you just didn't take
Who would've thought... it figures

Well life has a funny way of sneaking up on you
When you think everything's okay and everything's going right
And life has a funny way of helping you out when
You think everything's gone wrong and everything blows up
In your face

A traffic jam when you're already late
A no-smoking sign on your cigarette break
It's like ten thousand spoons when all you need is a knife
It's meeting the man of my dreams
And then meeting his beautiful wife
And isn't it ironic...don't you think
A little too ironic...and, yeah, I really do think...

It's like rain on your wedding day
It's a free ride when you've already paid
It's the good advice that you just didn't take
Who would've thought... it figures

Life has a funny way of sneaking up on you
Life has a funny, funny way of helping you out
Helping you out

What a song that is.

What a song that is.

You realise the majority of that song is not describing irony? (Which is ironic in itself.)

Haha, that was awesome.

Yeah, but it's still a great song. :)

[Supergrunch]

One he didn't cover - black flies in Chardonnay.

Now the irony is supposed to be that a black fly is in white wine. Clever, eh? ...no. That's not irony at all, it's just contrast. :heh:

That's exactly what I was thinking. Ed Byrne is class, btw. :grin:
