Define Irony

Irony is when you go to the dentist and come back with a bill for at least $4,000+ for getting teeth repaired.

And now figuring out that giving away parts to folders won't help reduce the bill and having to sell them instead.

Looking at the dentist bill for teeth to be fixed and say to yourself, If I can sell my parts it might help out to pay off some of the bill.

Having to look at your fs/ft thread each day from now tilll I get my teeth fixed and wonder why no one has even offered to buy any of my items.

Folding in a group of people that welcome free parts, and discourage anyone from posting this plea of help for helping a new folder with having parts for sale in the fs/ft forum.
 
I can't believe they shot teh moose!!!

Who cares if the meat is tainted....let the poor thing live! :mad:
 
Irony is Lindsay Lohan releasing a song called 'rumors' which is about how she hates being in the spotlight and wants to get out, and that song topping charts and gaining her more publicity :rolleyes:

Obviously you are severely biased in this matter, although I understand it could well have been a relative.

My big problem is why the objection to skying the moose up with some good drugs? It’s hard to believe the moose was so “traumatized” a good hit of thorozine wouldn’t have fixed him right up. Then they just could have let him walk away,,,Happy as a well, Moose. ;)

I think the line workers were just hungry :D

A photo that Defines Irony:

For it may well be:

Evidence of a "vast right wing conspiracy." :p
Evidence of a vast left wing conspiracy?
Evidence of a Green Party conspiracy?
Evidence of a Tupperware Party?

The only worthy symbol of a worthy candidacy, is strung-up high on a pole by wires! A pole in the middle of cold nowhere.
A remote location , yet easily accessible by sure- footed "circus animals". ;)
And nary a witness for miles around.
Then shot to death upon a psuedo rescue attempt.
"Tainted", said they. Ha! Coincidence?

Ironic, yet tragic.

Though my heart is heavy from this most recent of disappointments, I shall not be dismayed, nor discouraged, from my duty as a citizen.

P.S. Red Sox catch-up 3 games. Ironic. Not breaking hearts in last game, a friggin' Miracle!
 
Don't sweat the hanging moose.
That's just the way those strange Alaskans decorate their Christmas trees.

Yeah, they were "afraid" that it was too traumatized and would die from the tranquilizers, so they killed it instead. Now isn't that ironic? :confused:

I can define Irony:

Driving up to New Jersey to meet the relatives, coming through pennsylvania seeing deer hit every mile and pieces of semi grill litter the turnpike. Seeing semi's with grills knocked out by hitting deers.

Then on the turnpike heading the other direction, seeing a flatbed trailer loaded with bbq grills and wondering if the driver would head this direction.

One side of road, deer hit on the way to New Jersey. Opposite direction flatbed with bbq grills going down road also with a small freezer on the truck.

Now that is Ironic.

Yup, we have tons of deer here in PA, but the Moose is a scarce beast for sure :D
 
Try cutting down a redwood and then you will get your biggest christmas tree.
Well it looks like I will have to get a bigger chainsaw to saw down a redwood tree, Hey Billr send me your address so I can ship the tree to your house or Atomicmoose's house.
Put lights on the moose horns and a red led light at the tip of the moose nose, then you get the red nose reighdeer.



Sawing down a redwood in a protected forest in California $2,000
Getting the tree ready for transport to Billr's house $5,000

Having Billr to tell his wife why a 100ft redwood tree is in front of the yard: Priceless

:D

Wife says "Only if you get the rootball with the whole tree". She want's to plant it. Go figure that one ;)
 
Damn I was so close to let that one get away. Well since you brought it up, here is new improved priceless quote


Price of renting a steam shovel to unroot a 100ft tall redwood $2,000
Getting a fine for unrooting the giant redwood in California $10,000 (just a guess)
Getting a logging company to get in on a truck
and shipping it across the US to Billr's house $1,350
Waiting for Billr and wife to leave house to use
explosives to blow a hole in yard to put large redwood tree in $2,000
having a landscaping company come in to fill in hole $3,000

Waiting for Billr and wife to come home to see a bill nailed to front door, bill saying: please send payment to relic household: Priceless

Knowing that your friends and folders on [H] forum laugh their butt off seeing billr with a large payment. A large redwood decorated with a hanging moose, and christmas lights, then sucking up all the electricity to light it.
 
EEEK! :eek: You saying our relic is one of those tree hugging someguns? ;)

Tell your wife that you'll get a globe willow for her instead.

My father will be ordering these trees around december and January, that is when the new trees were raised in Colorado. Here is a tree that takes a beating from the weather and keeps growing. here is the description of it: Fast growing to 35' x 35'. Round (umbrella) shaped canopy, long narrow leaves. Short dormant period. Drought tolerant, adapted to most zones including high desert. Not sure of how much it costs, but it is a pretty willow to look at and provides alot of shade. Hey billr just pm me if you want to know the cost and my dad will find out.

Plus you could be the only in Harrisburg that would have this tree.

Oh Christmas Tree, Big Ass Christmas Tree,
How steadfast are your branches!
Your boughs are strong, for Moose to climb,
through the snows of wintertime.
Oh Christmas Tree, Big Ass Christmas Tree,
How steadfast are your brances!

Oh to be a Christmas Tree,
What heavy weight befalls me
Like hanging Moose at Christmas- time
His form inspires song and rhyme.
Oh Christmas Tree , Big Ass Christmas Tree,
What heavy weight befalls me!

Oh Christmas Tree, Big Ass Christmas Tree,
Your boughs can teach a lesson,
Their constant strain, with hope sublime,
That hold the Moose at Christmas-time.
Lead strength and comfort through all time,
Your boughs can teach a lesson.

I was reading this post from the Intel CPU forum:


RedShred said:
why would I use my money to buy a machine just for a single purpose... Thats easy. I want the whole cancer thing gone. If enough geeks would share this vision, there may be a cure found.
Instead, there are folks who build a machine for the sole purpose of surfing and bragging to their bros because they have a full 600 to 1000 mhz OC at idle w/ stock voltage... wow. I'm looking for machines that can run that under a 100% load without booting for weeks on end. Hell, I"m looking for a computer that can do it, stock, period and still do decent production.

Is there a cure out there... dont know, but I sure hope so.

I spend my money here feeding my geekness building fast computers from loose parts called hobbits on a cheap hub/P2P network. Does my hobby intrigue folk because I spend thousands for a project that doesnt include a 20K score on MadOnion?

I cannot do more to make you understand other than ask you this...
Have you ever lost anyone to cancer? I've lost a few...


I have read the reviews on Newegg already... I'll thank you guys for the noob response.

I find it strikingly funny how even the least knowledged person can pipe in and offer a ridiculous answer to a lodgical question and think he has done a service... well other than to his/her post count.

Perhaps I should consider asking on a less 1337 forum... so I can get a real answer.

RedShred's last line here includeds that number 1337 that everybody talks about in forums. And I don't know what it means.... exactly......something called Leet speak ? But I don't know what that is either. Yet I've gathered that it means something "very good"! Yes? Or so it seems.

Well anyway, so I'm reading his post and 1337 jumps-out there again....and then bang! I smack my stupid Irish forehead and realize:

The new phone number to Mom's hospital room as of tonight, (they moved her to a private room in CCU) , is:

.......(area code)......777-1337..........!!

I can't believe that! I cannot flippin' believe that! Plus three 7's.

That surely Defines Irony. :confused: :confused:

There was a time when being “1337” meant you were an elite hacker. Tops at what you did, “The Man”…or Woman, coolest of the cool etc. Times have changed and the true top people now prefer anonymity largely do to getting caught usually involves jail time and or huge fines.

The really true hacker finds exploits in badly written software and other systems and points them out with mischief only to prove they can, thus showing their superiority over the “Pros” and at the same time showing the weakness of what ever it is they hacked.

Today’s “1337” person is now more known as a “Script Kiddy”. These are the cute children who perpetrate the denial of service attacks that suddenly bring the web to a halt. The wonderful folk who bring you the email worms that cost you much money and time plus lost data, then blame it on you because you were stupid enough to open your email in the first place.

So in love with themselves are these “elite” people they even developed a language of their own just to they could look even cooler. Most can’t spell common English words, but they do have their own language..more irony. Oh, it seems they love to swear, but don’t really know how.

Being an “elite” isn’t what it was once “cracked” up to be, as this website points out.

http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=1337

The true irony here is that in their zeal to become different and unique the hacker (script kids) have all adopted the same “language” and “dress” and overall typical sub-culture traits of a society of their own, thus removing any uniqueness they profess to have.

Hope that gets you started on your quest for more knowledge :cool:
