Define Irony...

[Giga Guess]

Imagine my surprise when I was looking through the paper. A famous mountain climber, who blazed trails in, among other places, the Shuswap, died the other day.

How, one may ask? He sustained fatal injuries falling out of a tree trying to save a cat.

Ironic, no?

[Lon611]

omg!!!well yes that would be ironic, and very tragic. :( . but 4 a sec there i almost choked cuz i was laughing so hard. but b4 im percieved as an asshole, lemme send me regards 2 his family :shame:

[Giga Guess]

Oh, I agree. I felt bad for him and his family, but it is definately an odd twist to end one's life...

[Armisael]

wow,that's what it called ironic.The regards to his family. :(

[-N-]

Irony would be Kafka killed by cockroaches.

[Nait]

Well, at least it was only ironic. If it had been a black comedy, the cat, too, would have died.

[Giga Guess]

Indeed.

[Silmaril]

Kinda remind me of the story of the man who froze ten feet above the ground.

[Resha]

Well, it said he was trying to save the cat. If he died, he probably didn't. My condolences to his family, and the cat's. :cry:

[Giga Guess]

I got the impression the cat came out of it okay. Not sure about that though.

It is a pity though...

[War Angel]

An ambulance, kills 4 people on its way to the caller's home.

[Rusty]

It was Ironic, but sadly amusing and I do send regards to his family.
"And you sir, how did you die?"
"I feel outta a tree saving a cat, who probably doesn't appreciate it and has a 99.9% of climbing up another one and getting stuck again"

Yep its ironic :)

[Giga Guess]

*That* would be ironic, War Angel.

[StarlightAngel]

Irony. Quite Funny, yet quite sad. poor guy...

[Rye]

It's like raaaaaain, on your wedding day. That's irony.

[Giga Guess]

*Buzzer* That whole song has no examples of Irony. It's all just a buch of bummers. Actually the fact that the song is called "Ironic," and has no examples of irony in it IS ironic.

[frr_vegeta]

Well certainly not the most graceful of deaths, wouldn't you say?

Yeah, but I had to say that. xD They were talking about it on VH1, and they said pretty much what you just said.

[War Angel]

*That* would be ironic, War Angel.
It happened.

[Fuzakeru]

Yeah, but I had to say that. xD They were talking about it on VH1, and they said pretty much what you just said.
I bet you that's where he got it from. I LOVE I LOVE THE 90s!!!! :love: :love:

Irony: Something bearing a resemblance to, or of the consistency of Iron. :D

[krissy]

rain on your wedding day is something you would not expect to happen, therefore it's situational irony

edit: dramatic or situational oh nooooooo

[Dingo Jellybean]

You get clogged arteries from eating too much salad.

A Bush speech as an example of a well-written speech in a textbook.

You get burned by ice.

An ugly Italian woman...okay...maybe that's not irony, more like an oxymoron...but eh...don't know why I put that there.

[Giga Guess]

Yeah, but I had to say that. xD They were talking about it on VH1, and they said pretty much what you just said.
