So true

"So true"

It's so true that the creator of this thread should eat a shoe.

I think that's why there is no follow up post...it takes time to properly eat a shoe.

That was supposed to be sarcasm (they coughed up another LOSS).

But I should have realized all the low-IQ types out there wouldn't get it. Anyway, I guess for youse, it's an good example of sarCHasm (Mensa dictionary: Sarchasm (noun) - The huge abyss between the author of sarcastic wit and the person who just doesn’t get it)

Don't give this idiot that much credit. The Phillies ruined his "pounce" troll post last night. Now he's just making up for acting like a mentally deficient person!

And you are a prime example of an IGNORÀNUS, a person who's both stupid and an à-hole

Calling everyone else stupid for not getting the "sarcasm" from a guy named nokoolaid is about par for the course.

"That was supposed to be sarcasm (they coughed up another LOSS).

First off, I think you meant to say "you" not "youse". If you're going to be as arrogant as to define words from the Mensa Dictionary in your post and call us all "low-IQ types", it better be flawless in regards to the spelling of actual words.

Second off, dude, just give it up. Sarcasm is hard enough to get online without being able to hear a person's intonations, seeing their expression, etc. When you add to it that the alleged sarcasm in your post wasn't really all that sarcastic or funny, you lose. Had you included the phrase "they coughed up another LOSS" then it would've been obvious sarcasm. The way you posted your comment actually looked like an <idiot troll counting the Phillies out before it was over, turning the TV off, and not realizing they won and posting a dumb rant.

If 25 other people don't understand you were being sarcastic, it's probably not because those 25 people are all <idiots and you are a MENSA member operating on a different level of intelligence. It's probably because your attempt at being sarcastic wasn't really funny and wasn't obvious at all.

For someone as intelligent as you claim to be, I'd expect you to know that the entire point of sarcasm is to be bitterly over the top and make it obvious to everyone what you're doing. You failed.

Third (and most importantly), only the most arrogant of the arrogant tools in this world make reference to MENSA and imply that they are members and that this distinction actually means something. If you are in fact an actual MENSA member, congratulations for being born (through no fault of your own) with a high IQ. You scored better than 98% of people on an IQ test. Wow. You're a rare breed. Only 1 out of every 50 persons has as high an IQ as you. You're almost as special as someone that is born an American Indian (less than 1 out of every 100 Americans has that special distinction). Anyway, being part of Mensa, that sure is an accomplishment. I think we should all stand up and applaud you.

I'd wager a large amount of money however that you're largely squandered that high IQ if you're life is so unfullfilling that you feel the need to call people "low IQ types" when they don't understand your poorly phrased sarcasm. And my knowledge of psychology also tells me that it's highly likely that you're insecure, being that you feel the need to mention MENSA to make yourself feel smart.

Anyway, time to grow up there buddy. It's what you do in life that makes you special. Not your IQ, but rather what you do with that special ability.

I don't get it.

How about that...another clown who can't admit when he's wrong. Be a man and say I turned the game off because they stink this year. Don't hide from your stupidity.

"First off, I think you meant to say "you" not "youse". If you're going to be as arrogant as to define words from the Mensa Dictionary in your post and call us all "low-IQ types", it better be flawless in regards to the spelling of actual words."

"Youse" and using "an" instead of "a" (missed that one, I guess, along with most everything else) was an attempt at a sarcastic retort, lowering myslf to the intellectual level of the bashers. Obviously not obvious enough for you.

"Had you included the phrase "they coughed up another LOSS" then it would've been obvious sarcasm".

It would have been obvious and not very clever. Like comedy, the best sarcasm is subtle. If all sarcasm were obvious, then someone would not have felt the need to coin the word "sarchasm". A good example of the best kind of sarcasm would be making a remark to someone, have him smile approval, walk away and then suddenly think, "hey, was I just insulted?"

"The way you posted your comment actually looked like an <!----><!---->

Man you got us good . We all feel like <crap now, blown away by your ever so clever endeavor into the world of internet sarcasm.

Due to his advanced age, I bet Charlie let one slip away in the ninth too.

If you know what I mean.

Part II

idíot troll counting the Phillies out before it was over, turning the TV off, and not realizing they won and posting a dumb rant."

I really don't mind being thought an idiot by those that didn't get it, but "troll", c'mon now, with 700+ posts it should be (here comes that word again) obvious to even you that I am not. My fondest baseball memory is that of Bill White helping Johnny Callison put his coat on AFTER GETTING A BASE HIT because he was too weak to put on his warm up jacket by himself. That was in 1964.

As far as "dumb rant" goes, the word rant connotes long-winded and vehement or violent. My remark was brief and civil.

"Third (and most importantly), only the most arrogant of the arrogant tools in this world make reference to MENSA and imply that they are members and that this distinction actually means something. If you are in fact an actual MENSA member, congratulations for being born (through no fault of your own) with a high IQ. You scored better than 98% of people on an IQ test. Wow. You're a rare breed... And my knowledge of psychology also tells me that it's highly likely that you're insecure, being that you feel the need to mention MENSA to make yourself feel smart."

I never said I was a Mensa member and I never called all of you "low-IQ types". Yes it is a matter of semantics and I chose my words carefully. So you read a book on psychology, go read another. I am not a member of Mensa, but have been accepted into the Triple Nine Society. Don't bother to look it up, it just might be you suffering from insecurity and a feeling of inadequacy.

"...Calling everyone else stupid for not getting the "sarcasm" from a guy named nokoolaid is about par for the course...."

-- I once was lectured on here about the appropriateness of the message being sent to kids by Hamels (when he hit Harper) by a poster with the screen name "MucktheFets." Some of this stuff you can't make up.

I simply posted four ???? I didn't know what the OP was going for with that post. Would it be any more right to assume "witty high brow use of sarcasm" then to assume "turned the game off 10 minutes early?"

I however, really don't mind being called an idiot. It's OK. I'll survive. ;-)

I too assumed he turned the game off early, and then posted a topic that about half a dozen posters would have if the Phillies hadn't scored in the bottom of the 9th.

And I can admit that I can be an idiot at times. Case in point...I stayed at last night's Phillies game until the very last out! ;-)

"I however, really don't mind being called an idiot. It's OK. I'll survive. ;-)"

Just testing whether or not you'll actually survive...idiot ;)

Welocme to ignore, counselor... ;-)

Wow. The Triple Nine Society.

I bow to you sir.

You are perhaps the wittiest master of sarcasm that ever has lived.

Is it tough telling jokes in public and having nobody laugh because they're just so far beneath you that they can't possibly comprehend your witty humor?

I would imagine it would get old after a while being surrounded by such simple rejects.

You should leave here, you're just too intelligent for the Phillies Message Board. Might I suggest starting a Phillies forum within the Triple Nine Society?

I admire the application of gargantuan expressions to fabricate intelligence.
