    I don't mean to generalise, but I found that most Americans tend not to catch sarcasm online. I guess we Brits have it down to a T though.
    You hold my heart in your manly hands I wanna feel the throb of your handsome gland. I wanna hold you tight like a newborn kitten, against my flesh like a cashmere mitten. Tickly tick, I'm makin' skin bump heaven and all the way down it's lookin' cleanly shaven. Prickety pricks, it's stubble on stubble I better slow down or I'm in real trouble. Want you, touch you, feel you, taste you! Knick knack whacky whack 'till I see the man stew. spin you around let me see that hole! I'm a tunnelin' in a like a short hair mole. Once I'm inside I'm gonna leave a trace, half in there and half on that face! One finger, two finger, there fingers gone! Mano a mano I love you John!

    I used to think sarcasm was awesome cool when I was about twelve, but it's not very clever. It's extremely irritating when people do nothing except for sarcasm for extended periods of time. If a more humourous and intelligent piss taking mechanism can be employed, then it should.

    I really wanted to believe the best of Bunnies x) I knew it was most likely that she was a troll, but just in case she was a sensitive n00blet that may one day have grown into a valuable member, I wanted to give her the benefit of the doubt.

    I can appreciate this sentiment for the most part.
    However, I don't think I can tell when I'm being sarcastic anymore.
    This time i kept watch of the tub to make sure the goldfish would not commit suicide, for, no matter how mad it was at life or at god or at its life partner, there was no way i was going to be on call when it finally managed to take its own life.

    IRL, people cant tell I'm being sarcastic half the time. Which makes me sound stupid.

    I'm pretty slow at picking up on sarcasm, but I get it when it's important. I think. :-\

    Sometimes I wonder what my life would be like if I were as great as Paulo Wanchope.

    I prefer slap-stick.

    I need sarcasm to survive. My sarcasm seems to be oriented on hyperbole rather than simply stressing a word in a sentence. ("Yeah, THAT'll work." :rolleyes2")

    Sarcasm is so ridiculously hard to convey on the internets.

    Pretty easily I think.. or at least I hope!

    It can be somewhat hard to detect sometimes, but most of the times it's pretty obvious.

    It's funny, and I like it.
