The Sarchasm

Sarchasm: n - the gulf between the author of the sarcastic witticism and the person who doesn't get it.

The Sarchasm is the graveyard of failed jokes.

Not with that toasting fork. I'm trying to climb out but it's a 28 or something stupid.

Nope kitty I'm here with you.

There is only one inborn error, that is the notion we exist in order to be happy.
This arises from constantly deluded hope and so also dissatisfaction.

Sumer is icumen in, lhude sing cucu.
Groweth sed and bloweth med and springth the wode nu.
Sing cucu.
Awe bleateth after lomb,
Lhouth after calve cu;
Bullock sterteth bucke verteth
Murie sing cucu.
Cu, cu, cu, cu
Wel singes thu
Cu cu
Ne swik thu naver nu.
Sing cucu nu,
Sing cucu...

Beats:

Fair fa' your honest, sonsie face,
Great chieftain o' the puddin-race!
Aboon them a' ye tak your place,
Painch, tripe, or thairm:
Weel are ye wordy o' a grace
As lang's my arm.

Or, as one wit put it, "Oh haggis, you're so fine, you're so fine you blow my mind, hey haggis!"

*snort* I like the 'Oh, Haggis you're so fine...' bit.

And there's nothing wrong with a bit of Robbie Burns, you cretinous little kitten!

One idiot yells across a ravine to the idiot on the other side: "Hey! How do I get to the other side?"

To which comes the response: "You're on the other side!"
I wish I knew how people get italics on here.

Nice one!

You an use italics by surrounding the thing you want to italicize with i's in brackets like

[ i ]This[ /i ]

only without the spaces. Bold and underline work the same way, only with b's and u's.

Just what did the kitten mean about "I like a bit o Robbie"? and should I be worried?

edit starts here:
And why did the whole goldarned thang get underlined when I only bracketted around 'what'. I'm tempted to say,"what a kick in the brackets" but I won't.

I would check your closing brackets. Did they look like this: [ /u ] only without the spaces? Do you have the slash on the left of the u?

Oops! I forgot to have a slash. No wonder it ran everywhere.
