Just to let you guys know, sources tell me Firewoman calls you guys "suckers" behind your backs, and repeatedly gloats "they will never ever see these".

dude, I say that in chat all the time. There's no secret or controversy there.

If I don't vote for Fire, she'll beat me. And not in a good way.

[Fire-Babe]

but if you vote FOR me, I WILL beat you in the good way WIN-WIN!

[Byrntrigan]

Fire's got MY vote!

[Ryan]

You are so totally dorky.

Also, there's no way you're making it past the second round, so vote for whoever you want.

Smell the irony!

[Ryan]

That isn't irony. An example of irony would be if I had said, "you are so totally dorky and I'm the most awesome guy ever" or "you're not making it past the second round and I'm going to win the whole tournament".

You dumb dork.

[Batman]

No, the irony is in who it is calling anyone else a dork.

Also, "Ironic" is, in fact, full of perfectly sound examples of irony, regardless of what your English teacher told you about the "proper" definition of irony.

[Ryan]

I really don't want to get into a huge argument about this, but irony implies that I don't know of my own dorkiness. Since I never said anything indicating that, it's not irony.

Also, your second sentence doesn't make any sense.

[Batman]

Too late!

First sentence: "Unlike me" is pretty strongly implied in any put-down. Otherwise it isn't much of a put down. "You are a total dork, just like me!" Not exactly cutting.

Second sentence: This might make more sense if you were to remember that "Ironic" is the name of a song. Or maybe you got that but didn't see the relevance--People quibbled about how the singer used the word "ironic" in the song, which is what you are doing; that's why I brought it up.

[Lucky]

Yeah. As much as its annoying when people misuse "irony" its 100x worse how that song basically convinced every asshole in the world that he was the expert on "irony" and would spend the remaining days of his life refuting any usage of the word he didn't agree with.

[Ryan]

I've actually never heard that song.

And it's not that I don't agree with that usage, and honestly I couldn't care less right now, but it still wasn't technically irony.

[DevSop]

Is it ironic that you've become really annoying?

[Ryan]

No.

[Ryan]

Oh come on.

I just find it funny that everyone bitches about that song not having any irony in it. That fact is, in and of itself, truly ironic.

[Ryan]

Okay, I now realise just how annoying arguing about irony is thanks to Demko. Sorry, everybody.

Now can someone please change my title?

[Demko]

Point proven.

And CAN someone change your title? Yes, I can.

Will someone? Probably not.

[Lucky]

I swear... did none of you ever get teased as kids or tease others? THE MORE YOU FIGHT THE WORSE IT WILL BE!

Oh good. Ryan's leaving PH, everyone! Bye!

[Demko]

There. I've changed your title, as you requested.

[Ryan]

Oh yeah? Well, the jerk store called...

And they're out of you!
