We need a sarcarm indicator!
 

In a recent discussion with CC, it has become brutally obvious that we are desperately in need of some sort of indicator that we are being sarcastic. The smileys don't do it for me..

Any suggestions?

NPR, years ago, had an English professor on who suggested several new punctuation marks, beyond the normal "?" "!" and "."

Delta Sark - for sarcasm

Love dust - Little stars all around the words to indicate romance/love/lust between the speaker and recipient.

There were others, but it was a long time ago (10 years?).

Maybe a "<>" before and after the remark to indicate sarcasm? <sr> at the end?

Other suggestions?

Are you being sarcastic?

Too bad the point went way over your head.

Guess you missed it......

No one else is calling for any such thing....the only person left would be YOU.

I don`t mean to be sarcastic, but what you need is a sarcasm indicator, not a sarcarm indicator...

Aurel

He was trying, but was called on it..... I'm guessing he's mad about that......

<>Mad? Oh no, I'm not mad....crazy perhaps...<>

Wayne: remind yourself to add the Title to the Spell check function.

Note to self: go get more coffee

When I asked if red-beard was being sarcastic, it was I that was being sarcastic. Now, I'm being serious. Later, I may try funny. Thankfully, we have an indicator for that :)

Great idea Einstein!

Don't try funny Rodeo, it never works...

:p

too bad, I have a sarcarm indicator for sale on ebay, auction #8675309. Fits in the clock-hole, no need to modify the dash.

Are you serious???

Are you???

Sarcasm>:rolleyes:

:rolleyes:

:D ;) :D

In my case, you'd need an indicator for when I am NOT being sarcastic.

Nah, roll eyes is "Jesus, what an idiot!" indicator...

Red,
This reminds of the time when I was 7 and my Dad told me that pro Wrestling was all fake. Took the fun out of it (and the horror!).

Those of us with sad, meaningless lives relish in the thought that CC is getting her panties all wadded up everytime somebody trips her trigger - combine that with a few beers and a lil webporn and you gots the makin's of one fine evening.

I need to party with _you_!

hmmm...wadded up panties... reminds me of my old van waaaayyyy back when.

now your just being sarcastic...arn't you?

are you sure you don't mean facetious?

I've tried to warn the violators here, but they are determined to confuse their own posts with a mixture of seriousness and sarcasm. Sometimes sarcarm. In many cases, I've become disinterested in their posts as a consequence. Say what you think. Don't amuse yourself by trying to wrinkle our brows.

And never mind about CC's panties. Imagining them in a wad should not be humorous.

I thought I was being ironic

your not being moronic, you shouldn't beat your self up.

Imagining CC panties in a wad...wait a minute...yep, thats it...t h a t s i t...

Sorry, you havent reach the status yet where you can be considered iconic.

OK, I'm imagining CC's panties wadded up, but they're in the laundry hamper.

One of you guys is dangerously close to gettin' laid, I can feel it!

naw, red-beard and I are just friends...

They dont call him Lubemaster for nothing.

Back to the original question: Identifying sarcasm. I have an easy solution to the problem. I make it a point to put the words "JanusCole" to the left of everything sarcastic in my internet postings. Works every time.

You guys are hilarious.

We've been called many things but that's the most offensive of all.

I'm pretty offended.

You're being sarcastic again, aren't you?

are you?

I asked you first.

hehehehehehehehehe.......................you said panties...........................I'm gonna tell..........................hehehehehehehehehehe
