They always run out of staples right when you need one. What is it with that?

    it's like Murphy's Law. Kinda like, when you're in the damndest hurry in the world and you miss the bus, or can't get a taxi, or your car breaks down, or in my case, your van catches fire while on the road.......

    Like winning the lottery, and dying the next day.
    Like rain on your wedding day.
    Isn't it ironic?

    Those things aren't ironic; they are just unfortunate circumstances. Alanis Morrisette apparently didn't know the definition of ironic, lol

    Do you ever watch Castle? That's one of Castle's pet peeves, people misusing the word ironic. And he had a little speech about Alanis Morrisette too.

    Actually, she did...

    Dramatic/Tragic Irony: incongruity between the actual result of a sequence of events and the normal or expected result

    BTW you do know there are 3 types of irony, right?


    I'm just saying... :lol:

    Reminds me of a comedian who did a bit about exactly this, and a woman got mad at him and said, "it's a metaphor!"

    To which he replied, "no it's a simile.."

    Found the bit, the one I saw was more condensed, he kind of goes on about the song in this one.

    That bit comes a little after the 4 minute mark.

    No I've never heard of it. But apparently there are 3 types of irony. I didn't know that! :o

    I think it was just a dumb song. She has given contradictory explanations. Sometimes saying they are examples of cosmic irony, sometimes saying the song is a joke and the ironic thing is that none of the examples are actually irony, to basically just saying they just weren't paying all that much attention to whether or not the examples were actually irony or not.
    For me the sweetest moment came in New York when a woman came up to me in a record store and said, ‘So all those things in “Ironic” aren’t ironic.’ And then she said, ‘And that’s the irony.’ I said, ‘Yup.’
    When Glen and I were writing it, we definitely were not doggedly making sure that everything was technically ironic. It’s a testament to the fact that we didn’t think it was going to be put under the microscope by 30 million people.

    EDIT: :think: "Technically ironic" ... means some details were left out...so you get the gist of the irony in a few words... kind of like this EDIT in this post...

    I do get it people. It's a dumb song. I never said I liked it. It just popped into my head when I read the Murphy's Law... :roll: Yeesh, I forfeit, or do I need to defend that too?

    Defend your use of the word forfeit? Nah, I think you got it right.
