Thread: Ironies

Maniclion buys a Hummer H2. And its cloudy over Manic's house, yearround.

Nice topic, Manic. I knew you had a few cells roamin' around upstairs haha jk.

Here's a few:

1. "What if I told you insane was working fifty hours a week in some office for fifty years at the end of which they tell you to piss off; ending up in some retirement village hoping to die before suffering the indignity of trying to make it to the toilet on time? Wouldn't you consider that to be insane?" -Convicted mass murderer Garland Greene, replying to the question "are you insane?"



2. [with "Sweethome Alabama" playing in the background]
"Define irony: a bunch of idiots dancing around on a plane to a song made famous by a band that died in a plane crash" -Garland Greene

"Ironic" by Alanis Morrissette

An old man turned ninety-eight
He won the lottery and died the next day
It's a black fly in your Chardonnay
It's a death row pardon two minutes too late
And isn't it ironic...dontcha think

It's like rain on your wedding day
It's a free ride when you've already paid
It's the good advice that you just didn't take
Who would've thought...it figures

Mr. "Play It Safe" was afraid to fly
He packed his suitcase and kissed his kids goodbye
He waited his whole damn life to take that flight
And as the plane crashed down he thought
"Well isn't this nice..."
And isn't it ironic...dontcha think

It's like rain on your wedding day
It's a free ride when you've already paid
It's the good advice that you just didn't take
Who would've thought...it figures

Well life has a funny way of sneaking up on you
When you think everything's okay and everything's going right
And life has a funny way of helping you out when
You think everything's gone wrong and everything blows up
In your face

A traffic jam when you're already late
A no-smoking sign on your cigarette break
It's like ten thousand spoons when all you need is a knife
It's meeting the man of my dreams
And then meeting his beautiful wife
And isn't it ironic...dontcha think
A little too ironic...and yeah I really do think...

It's like rain on your wedding day
It's a free ride when you've already paid
It's the good advice that you just didn't take
Who would've thought...it figures

Life has a funny way of sneaking up on you
Life has a funny, funny way of helping you out
Helping you out

That movie was great.

My father used to walk through the living room and talk shit about how moronic Beavis and Butthead were. Not long after those day's King of The Hill was his favorite show on television. He would say his favorite part is when the 4 guy's stand in line by the road, drinking beer and saying "yep". How is that any different than 2 boy's on a couch saying "Uh, huh huh."
