Heh, this is the sarcasm thread! Few questions to start things off:

(1) Do you love or hate sarcasm?
(2) Do think you're the most sarcastic person on the face of the planet?
(3) Do you think this thread will end up being labeled spam? ;)

(1) Me loves!
(2) *Sarcasm* Naaaaaaaaaah... *End sarcasm*
(3) Probably! :p

Uh-oh. It's really hard to resist asking, "Were you being sarcastic when you said none of the responses were sarcastic?" :D

Yeah, I hate sarcasm. It really is stupid.
Potaria
05-03-2005, 21:14
Yeah, I mean, there's like no point to it whatsoever.

You're being sarcastic here, right? ;)
Potaria

Now, how could we possibly be sarcastic in here?

I'm sorry. I really should have known better.

Of course you should.

What? How can you possibly like that? It is the lowest form of wit, you know.

At least it is wit.

(1) Do you love or hate sarcasm?

Don't you just love it when they try to force you into a binary choice. Great question my masterful quizmaster (Love it)

(2) Do think you're the most sarcastic person on the face of the planet?

Now why would I think that?

(3) Do you think this thread will end up being labeled spam? ;)

This would seem to be highly improbable given the tolerance and fair mindedness of all the posters that will appear in it, excluding myself of course.

I love sarcasm, and employ it sparingly. I don't hold a candle with its use, however, to the excellence that is Olav Rokne.

But sarcasm is the stupidest thing ever!

Has anyone else noticed that its a fine line between sarcasm and sardonicism?

(Also, why is it sardonicism and not sardonism?)

Sarcasm? Funny? Yeah, and next you'll be telling me people can put a man on the MOON! Psssshhhh....

Oh, so this thread's gotten serious now?

Sarcasm is the lowest form of wit, but the highest form of intelligence

Wow, so many original sarcastic responses. It's amazing. It really is.
Potaria

I imagine that was thought up by someone who wasn't able to use it, and got jealous of his witty/sarcastic friends.

No, he's quite right. But "lowest" doesn't equate to a bad thing. :)

Thank you, i really appreciate such a marvellous response.

That seems likely. No, I'm NOT being sarcastic.

Sarcasm is good. I refuse to believe otherwise. Its how my roommates and I survive living with each other.

Sarcasm is the highest form of humor and the last to develop in humans. Sarcasm is totally lost, especially as anything remotely "humorous," to the very young and the mentally undeveloped.

Sarcasm is actually second on my list behind satire. I like wit and cynicism in my humour.

Hmm. I would have thought that satire was more a form of writing than it was a form of humor. True, sarcasm can be used in satire, but it seems to be generally accepted that sarcasm is a basic form of humor albiet the last to develop in children.

Come to think of it, satire is pretty damn good too. I'll have a litre bottle of each please. :D

I'm not sure i can take the high levels of concentrated sarcasm found in this thread. It's seriously messing with my mind.

Really. No sarcasm in this post, no sir. :D
