Anyone missing a stick? Why, yes, Bob, I am indeed missing a stick. Now, where did I put....Oh, never mind, I found it. It's stuck up Michael Adams' ass.

irony is the art of saying the opposite of what you mean Not up to your usual standards, Paghat! Perhaps this kind of half-baked definition is to blame for the widely-believed idea that Americans don't "do" irony. Irony is *not* - necessarily - the art of saying the opposite what you mean. It *can* be that - as when Mark Anthony says "Brutus is an honourable man" - but that is only one *type* of irony. When Jane Austen opens her novel with the words "Emma Woodhouse, handsome, clever and rich..." she doesn't actually mean that Emma is ugly, stupid and poor. And when Swift makes his "modest proposal" that the English should eat Irish babies that does not translate as an *immodest* proposal that the English should *not* eat Irish babies. It would be more correct to say that irony is the art of saying something *different* from what you mean (which might be the opposite, but could equally well be something else).

After your passionate defence of pigeons I would have thought you'd be above using birds' names as insults. Well, since I'm getting insulted anyway, here's my take on this thread, for what it's worth... When Michael Adams wrote: If you weren't so unutterably thick Mr Armstrong you'd at least try and personalise the material a bit, by putting the OP's name in it, and maybe make it a bit more specific. And then possibly it wouldn't look quite as pathetic as it does. So Mr Armstrong, it seems that you really are as stupid, as you at first appear. So stupid in fact, that not only are you incapable of stringing together more than three or four words of invective of your very own, but are instead reduced to stealing other people's. So where's it from then Mr Armstrong ? "The Whimpering Sissies Book of Getting Even" ? But not only that, you're so much of a cretinous dickhead, that you never even thought of trying to cover your tracks. Did you, eh moron? Jon replied: *Lots of crap snipped* I almost find it hard to believe that YOU felt the urge to remind me of what kind of group this is. Your words seem to lose their weight. I still look forward, however, to meaningful discussions on book collecting. That was it, right? Quite. -- John http://rarebooksinjapan.com |

"michael adams" wrote in message ... Which crap Mr Stuestøl? Take a close look on which post i replied to... My quite reasonable request for you to keep your descriptions of your kiling of defenceless animals off this newsgroup? Clearly not, see above. That isn't crap Mr Stuestøl. That happens to be a deeply held conviction of mine. And I certainly respect that. Are you noramlly in the habit of describing other peoples deeply held convictions as *crap* then, Mr Stuestøl? No, and not in this thread either. *Snip* I almost find it hard to believe that YOU felt the urge to remind me of what kind of group this is. Your words seem to lose their weight. ... Well I have no intention of allowing myself to be being insulted by idiots on this Ng or anywhere else Mr Stuestøl! And I would remind you, that I didn't start any of this. That might be so. And if I chose to defend myself in any way I choose, then that's none of you're damned business, to be quite honest with you. I see your point, but I don't quite agree with you. I respect your opinions on hunting, and your statement too. The only problem is that you are not at all sticking to the topic of this group either, and this way your correction of my behaviour does seem a bit misplaced. Even if we don't share the same view on hunting. Possibly your code of honour is different in Norway Mr Stuestøland. That might be. I do not know too much about the differences betweeen Norway and Britain (Is it?). I don't think that is an issue here, though. As far as I can see, you were insulted by the fact that i called the quarrel between Mr Armstrong and you "crap". I admit that it was a bad word to use, but you clearly demonstrated that you thought I referred to your convictions, and not to what I repiled to. I do understand that it seemed like a deep insult, then. If the misspelling of my last name is intentional, I did not get the point. If it is unintentional, it is quite ok, most people can't spell it correctly, even here. And so you're more accustomed to allowing people to walk all over you, and subject you to totally unsolicted, gratuitous insults. Without seeking to defend yourself in any way. Well I'm not, like that I'm afraid. And I wasn't brought up to think that way. Neither did I. And the fact that I chose to defend myself when insulted, has nothing whatseover to do with my quite reasonable request for you to your keep your descriptions of your killing of defenceless animals off of this Newsgroup That is of course a point. I have tried to explain my point above. And so I'd thank you to keep your patronising and misdirected remarks to yourself. And to not describe my convictions as *crap*. I clearly will not, and have not, described your convictions as crap. You have to look again. Take a close look at what i snipped. thank you You're welcome. And thank you. -- Jon Fredrik Stuestøl |

I'm afraid I don't even know how your name is spelt; my e-mail programme (which is set to read English and Japanese) just renders anything after "Suest" as a small square dot. I just copy and paste it, square dot and all. I've no idea how that comes out on other people's software! -- John http://rarebooksinjapan.com |
