There is nothing all that ironic about misusing ironic.

It is an incredibly misunderstood and misused word. I have a favored example when explaining irony.

You're driving behind an old lady with a bumper sticker on her car that says "Honk if you love Jesus". You end up stopped behind her at a red light so you happily honk. She rolls her window down and gives you the finger.

That is irony.

What I was doing was what is called "making a joke".

Ah. In my circle of friends we'd refer to it as "failing".

Which one are you?

I'll lay odds that the memo is bogus & UD had nothing to do with Razor. UD wouldn't even sell to BG direct when he ran Edgeman. Also, why would RM finance a company that was competing for market share with his own (struggling) company? For a guy that's shelling out rightous bucks for big league licensing to finance a company making unlicensed cards is silly, it makes no sense.

The whole thing is just a smoke-blowing rumour.

You shouldnt bother, he's only here foaming at the mouth because he wants other folks to pat him on the back to prevent arm strain. Right now he has no sense of humor because he wants justice..............JUSTICE!!!

I would agree and say that he is staying away from getting sued by using the whole memo leaked deal.

You have apparently confused me with someone else. I've not even made an anti-Razor statement in THIS thread, much less have a hardon about Razor.

Maybe his using ironic when it wasn't ironic made his use of ironic in the end ironic.

Funny, I distinctly remember making you an offer twice on this card, both times in triple digits, after losing out on it on auction the first time because the high bidder's wife bid on the justice instead of the yankee sterling by mistake, and you countered with more than it sold for the first time.

So to say no one wanted it, i say shenanigans sir, SHENANIGANS

my offer still stands until i spend my paypal money

I believe the first offer here months ago was $10 shy of the BIN however the first offer today was $70 below that. Of course, this is give or take a dollar or two. Also, I don't mind the card - can't go wrong w/ a Jumbo that you know is real!!!
No shenanigans here - I may take you up on the offer.

Does anyone else "feel" irony? I certainly do. As soon as I sense it I know it's irony.
