Irony? Some dude dies and he happens to work for McDonald's and that's ironic? Was Atkins death ironic as well? Heart attack or no, you can't blame that on bad diet...

well, considering that he was the one responsible for mcd's whole 'healthy' campaign....
and the fact that bad diet can lead to increased risk for heart attacks...
and the fact that he was the CEO of the company pushing what is arguably the worst food health-wise available...
and the fact that he was at the international convention with thousands of franchisees and potential franchisees which is so big they only hold it every two years...

Huh? What? I still don't see how that is ironic... I mean it's wierd and all and sorta like justice, but irony? May as well say you eating a hamburger for lunch is ironic...

It's not ironic. It's stupid.

jesus, we all knew what TLC was trying to say. i thought the same thing myself (albeit without the word "ironic" i think i used the words "you have to see some humor in that").

still, it did afford me a few moments of mild amusement when i read the article, well, as much amusement as someone's dead allows for.

you're a wierd sort, aren't you, trypd? getting your jollies from some CEO dying... I mean did you seriously laugh? Like, out loud? You're so nucking futs, dude... it's bad enough TLC compared me to you in any way...

ha, ironic indeed, assholes

no mister brock, i didn't laugh out loud. as i said i was mildly amused.

and i agree, it's terrible TLC compared your post to me.

i thought it was amusing... it would've been even more amusing if he had died while eating a hamburger, but hey, watta ya gonna do.

especially when you stop to look at the post he is referring to. Apparently it is a borish post. I guess I can see why he said it now...

it was your post, so that was an uncalled for insult against yourself. you're impossible.

[QUOTE=trypdwyre]it was your post, so that was an uncalled for insult against yourself. you're impossible.[/QUOTE]

Of course I insulted myself for sounding like you. I was borish and he compared my borishnes to you and I was chastizing myself for being borish like you and be called on it.

i was the same way, wasn't there another story where some major tobacco guy died of cancer? reminds me of the other thread on this forum where the porn acter who got HIV takes down th eporn industry. this is not funny, but at the same time, i keep thinking, "if you play with fire..."

you're confusing "borish" with "factual".

[QUOTE=trypdwyre]you're confusing "borish" with "factual".[/QUOTE]

don't be so touchy... he said it about me being boring, which made him think I was you. He obviously was insulting me, and therefore you...

i think you're thinking of the wrong thread again. the only one saying anything about you being boring was you. feel free to look over the thread again.

whichcame after my admittedly boring post. Boring post + plus trypdwyre comparision = trypdwyre is boring...

Don't blame me. I'm just the messenger. I don't question the logic of math...

no no, see you said the guy said it was a boring post. stop blurring the issue, the fact is, you're the one who thought and expressed the thought that it was a boring post. brock+fact=brock thinking he's boring.

but see you are saying I am boring, and he was saying I was you, so he was saying you are boring, so you are saying you is boring, which you is since you say so...

[QUOTE=Brock Landers]but see you are saying I am boring, and he was saying I was you, so he was saying you are boring, so you are saying you is boring, which you is since you say so...[/QUOTE]
your logic is so warped.

i'm not saying you're boring, i'm saying you said you were boring. and he said nothing about your boringness (real or not). you're the only one saying you're boring. he was saying i was you, i took that to mean in reference to the post you made about stating the definition of the word. that's not saying you're boring. that's saying you posted something which reminded him of me, which could be the fact that all you posted was fact. boringness has nothing to do with it. you made up that he or i said anything about boringness, other than in reference to what you said. stop creating these fabricated conversations in your head, maybe you'd have a bit better luck with sticking with the thread topics if you try that.

Um... did anyone notice that crap she sings about... that morriset, morrisette, moriset chick sings about is NOT ironic. I hate that fucking song.

It's like rain on your wedding day?
The good advice you can't take?

This isn't irony, dumbass.

Sort of on topic: anyone excited to see Supersize Me?

i thought the irony of the song was the fact that lyrics to the song weren't ironic.

but yea, supersize me, love to see that one still.

what about that other song, where some chick sings "ironical"?

is THAT even a word?

Isn't [B]ironic[/B] enough?

ironic, ironical, ironically, ironicallegic, ironicallegically, ironicalegicallegically?

where does the madness end?

if you scroll this thread up and down really fast it looks like brock and trypdwyre are slapping at each other like little bitches

^ha!
