Yeah, I wanted to post "Best Fucking LJ Meet Ever" on my journal, but didn't cause I've only been to five meets :)
I just realized [info]ga_woo isn't on my friend's list, but he is a friend through LJ. How ironic.
No, no. That's not irony. Let me quote George Carlin :)
Irony is "a state of affairs that is the reverse of what was to be expected; a result opposite to and in mockery of the appropriate result." For instance: a diabetic, on his way to buy insulin, is killed by a runaway truck. He is the victim of an accident. If the truck was delivering sugar, he is the victim of an oddly poetic coincidence. But if the truck was delivering insulin, ah! Then he is the victim of an irony.
If a Kurd, after surviving bloody battle with Saddam Hussein’s army and a long, difficult escape through the mountains, is crushed and killed by a parachute drop of humanitarian aid, that, my friend, is irony writ large.
Darryl Stingley, the pro football player, was paralyzed after a brutal hit by Jack Tatum. Now Darryl Stingley’s son plays football, and if the son should become paralyzed while playing, it will not be ironic. It will be coincidental. If Darryl Stingley’s son paralyzes someone else, that will be closer to ironic. If he paralyzes Jack Tatum’s son that will be precisely ironic.
I believe I'm the best authority to make that kinda statement. :o) Having missed only a handful (literally!) of meets, I'll say it for you, "This was The Best Fscking LJ-Meet Ever!!!!" :o)

We could rent a room if we are the bread of a sandwich. While I wouldn't be disgusted seeing you naked, exchanging fluids is out of the question! :D
