from the spam
My wife and I never have sex and I think she could benefit from talking Viagra. The trouble is she wouldn’t be able to take away sex from me when I do something bad. I know every guy out there in the world reading this knows what I am talking about. I recently switched over to asian women only because of this simple yet gosh awful truth that women keep doing and men keep putting up with it. Not with asian women though!! Love going out with asian women because they say yes to anything you want. I have been dating this one asian chick and she has only been in the U.S. for a year. Barely speaks english its so nice not having to listen to a trick yap about how I don’t give her enough attention or nag about everything under the sun.
My question for the readers is: Why do women need a viagra like drug if they aren’t puttin out? They won’t take it anyways.

I’ve been talking Viagra for years. That and carnival language.
Talking Viagra Blues.
“Barely speaks english its so nice not having to listen to a trick yap about how I don’t give her enough attention or nag about everything under the sun.”
Sounds to me like he could use a good castration.
if you do it late, it never works.
But seriously, this guy should reconsider his tactics and ask himself, —Am I worth fucking? No? Maybe there’s a vagina attached to a woman out there who’ll teach me how to be more than just a dick.
oh, Kels. this was spam spam; not an actual dude.
I am kidding, too, though. This is what I mean when I say that no one expects my sarcasm and instead I just come across as a jerkface.
well done.
I consider Clusterflock to be the Internet’s pre-eminent forum for sarcastic comments.
are you being sarcastic?
Well actually I do have a real reason for saying that: lack of anonymity. Everyone who’s spent any time on the Internet is well-aware of how anonymity turns people into raging assholes, but lately I’ve noticed a prominent trend and others are too: People on the Internet are astoundingly, mind-numbingly literal much of the time. I really do think that anonymity is at least a partial cause for this. Identity gives people a context for sarcasm. It becomes a frame of reference that a reader can judge a statement against since they lack facial cues or tone of voice.
Obviously on Clusterflock many of you can detect sarcasm (most of the time) simply because you’re friends. But even as a reader, seeing all of these real people talking about so many different things on a daily basis does allow me to detect sarcasm much better than I might on other parts of the Internet.
It’s interesting!
I like your observation about identity giving people a context or frame of reference that helps others recognize sarcasm more readily.
It’s also interesting that you observe that many of us can pick up on clusterflock participants’ sarcasm because we are friends. In my case, when I joined the group four-plus years ago, it was in fact with the encouragement of a mutual friend of mine and Deron Bauman’s, someone I’ve known for decades. But I still have yet to meet the majority of other flockers. I do regard them as friends, however, to varying degrees and feel I have a pretty good sense for the presence of their tongues in their cheeks.
oh! sorry, Terence, I just got back from lunch or would have said earlier, that was my lame attempt at being funny.
like all your attempts.
it’s good to have you back.
are you being sarcastic?
let me check.
ok, get back to me. provide a full report, including graphs.
Cindy?
and, I’m still not really back. Worked from home today in order to get this stuff done and, in spite of getting a lot done today, I’m still a few long days away from meeting my deadline. I just needed a break from that.
that’s too deep for me.
I keep writing things like, ‘contributed to the team’s ability to exceed our performance goals through…’
Make it stop.
yep.
Michael keeps writing things like “contributed to the team’s ability to exceed our performance goals through . . .” and I keep singing “Donkey, don’t you dare to doubt me.”
It is all a terrible terrible waste.
Oh, and demon, I meant to say that most things are too deep for you.
I struggle with seeing the difference between sarcastic and ironic. I could google it, probably will later. As if it will shed light. (See, I think that was sarcastic not ironic?)
I don’t remember the exact numbers, Danny will correct me if I’m wrong, on the Myers-Briggs scale between “intuitives” and “sensors” the population splits something like 25% intuitives and 75% sensors (It may be more like 10%/90%). Sensors tend to want all the information they can gather before making up their minds. (They want to touch, see, smell, etc. before they know.) Intuitives tend to take a few pieces of information and make a leap to knowledge. Neither one nor the other is better, but I wonder if the assumption of literality to non-member readers of C’flock don’t fall into the larger percentage?
You know, “birds of a feather…” I wonder if there aren’t more Intuitives as members on C’flock than is shown in the general population? It could explain “the getting” of sarcasm when we pounce upon someone who doesn’t?
With the Myers-Briggs, there is also the matter of Introversion v. Extroversion. I’ll offer this example: I worked for three years, plus a little, at a Title Insurance company, it was heaven to me. Why I left, I’ll never know. I think the job descriptions must have included “You must be an Introvert.” The office was generally quiet, people staring into screens, crunching numbers, we went about our way. I had a small office in the back hallway, I’d listen to NPR all day and put numbers into a database. Once in a while I’d get a call, Someone’s email was too full. I’d trot down the hall and fix it. I’d reboot the servers. Like that.
Now I work in an office where most of the managers are extroverts and it is noisy! But largely they work in the field, so a large part of the day, the Introverts with me, work quietly, cranking out the paperwork, the billing, etc. There are four of us, who work like this. I have given up on getting introverted work (requiring concentration) done before 9:00 in the morning or after 3:30 in the afternoon. God help me if it’s a rainy day and manager’s are at their desks all day, just outside my office. I can’t get a thing done for the interruptions.
Sorry (the font on my screen just changed, WTF?) a long comment, guess I just needed to expound.
For the record, I love where I work. (That is not sarcastic, nor ironic as best I understand either term.)
thanks, archangel smith.
Anytime.
Oh! I just now realized I called you demon.
I am an archangel though, so that explains the delay.
Just don’t be calling him Drone.
that’s okay, Shmitz. I called Joseph, Jospeh, the other day.
Okay, see? I just now got it. Them. It. The joke. Jokes.
