Why get a Tattoo of stupid boxes then when he could just draw them on his arm everyday with the rest of the cartoon???

[slym2none]

Because he's just that hard-core?

I imagine that really impresses a company when you go to a job interview.

You don't get the benefit of my demeaning tone when I say it, so you don't really catch the true sarcasm. Irony is a subset of sarcasm.

I greatly prefer condescending sarcasm over a demeaning tone.

True story.

 

My niece's elementary school teacher was so concerned about my niece's sarcasm in class that she called my sister aside. In private she expressed her concern to my sister that she'd "never encountered a child so sarcastic in her life". My sister glowed when excitement when she told me her response to the teacher was "Yes! Sarcasm is revered in my family." That pretty much sums it up. If you don't have a spine around me, my mom, my uncles, my niece, or anyone that understands sarcasm then expect to be degraded verbally to the point of shame. Public shame. Repeatedly. Mercilessly. If it is reciprocated, I really don't care. I only evaluate the quality of the responses.

Kind of cool, but you have to wonder at what age will he look at his arm and be like "WTF did I do that for".
