Clever using "pair them" and linked to Paire.--Bob (talk) 18:18, 22 October 2007 (EDT)

  • I suppose it's a bit of irony itself...or would that be the Alanis definition of the word? -- RyanGibsonStewart (talk) 18:20, 22 October 2007 (EDT)

Re: "Notes" about the supposed relationship between Hayden and Milo

Shouldn't there be some citation given for such a note? All I read was that they stated they were not romantically-involved (a compilation of sources is here). 'ROESian

  • Definitely needs a citation before making a claim like that. Thanks for pointing that out. I commented it out for now until a citation can be added. (Admin 19:52, 22 October 2007 (EDT))
    • If it does end up being false (though I believe it), this site would lose alot of credibility if Milo or Hayden were to ever check it out. >_>;--Riddler 19:58, 22 October 2007 (EDT)
      • I added it based off my own hazy recollection of an article about the two of them being rumored to be together. Here's an article that I found that's the closest thing to linking them, yet still says it's all rumors. I'll remove the reference (which is not needed anyway, and was really just an excuse to make a fun link to Paire). My apologies--I don't quite have my A game on today. -- RyanGibsonStewart (talk) 20:11, 22 October 2007 (EDT)

Irony

"Irony" is marked by the "incongruity between what might be expected and what actually occurs". Even allowing for dramatic irony, which covers things like Candice's mug, a lot of these examples aren't particular ironic.--Hardvice (talk) 22:03, 27 October 2007 (EDT)

  • I had a feeling someone would say this...--Ice Vision 22:05, 27 October 2007 (EDT)
  • Reading over them many of them appear to be forms of irony, though I did see some that I wouldn't consider to be irony. Hardvice, do you want to list the ones you feel aren't examples of irony and we can try going through them one by one? (Admin 22:14, 27 October 2007 (EDT))

I'm no expert on irony (I'm an Alanis fan, and I totally identified with Winona Ryder in Reality Bites)...Is Simone being shot as she's bringing the key back to Isaac's apartment an example of irony? -- RyanGibsonStewart (talk) 22:17, 27 October 2007 (EDT)

  • Based on my understanding of it, I'd say no. However if he made a comment like, "Come stay with me so I can keep you safe." and then shot her as she returned, I'd consider that ironic. (Admin 22:24, 27 October 2007 (EDT))
    • What if it were raining on her wedding day? -- RyanGibsonStewart (talk) 22:37, 27 October 2007 (EDT)
      • And she got a free ride when she'd already paid? -- Paronine 23:24, 27 October 2007 (EDT)
      • That's just bad luck. :) I'm not sure if that's ironic or not. (Admin 23:07, 27 October 2007 (EDT))
