The Sarcasmist!
Who could have guessed that Jack Daniel’s and Jim Beam wouldn’t work out as sponsors of NASCAR? After five years of encouraging NASCAR fans to drive drunkenly in circles at 150 mph (because they weren’t doing that already), JD and JB have decided to reevaluate their spending. We look forward to their future marketing partnerships with the Fromm straight razor company and the U.S. Armed Forces’ DEFCON levels.
Now that we’ve got that out of our system… Welcome to The Sarcasmist, the new Sarcasm Society blog. Why are we doing this, you ask? Because we’re humanitarians. Because St. Francis of Assisi never had a blog, and someone needs to ensure that his legacy lives on (besides the Roman Catholic Church). Because dolphin rescue was getting boring, and the dolphins would never say “thank you.” Because people are stupid.
Sarcasm is our modus operandi (that’s Latin for “coping mechanism”), but we also enjoy other types of humor, including irony, banter, satire, and cynicism. Sarcasm is supreme, but humor in all its forms will be employed in this blog for the sake of your entertainment, our critics’ derision, and our own catharsis.
Blog comments are welcome and will be ridiculed immediately by your fellow humanists. And really, please enlighten us with your thoughts. We would love to hear what you think.

I agree with Jamie Whorton. A+ on this one. :)
Before I even read it I already added it to my RSS feed. My new home for inspirational Sarcasm!
Now, now, Mr. Hooper, you know just as well as i do that thesite belongs to Vicious88and not you.
modus operandi stands for “method of operating” genius.
And there I was, thinking *I* (of all people) was wrong, but apparently I’m not the only one who noticed that.
Still, smoothly written article.
people are stupid its why sarcasm is so successful an enterprise. people as a whole will believe any lie you tell them whether because they want it to be true or because they are afraid it is true quoted from the one and only…
Wooohoooooo!!!
Am sooooooo excited about this blog..can’t wait for all the updates…..♥♥♥♥
Hank: We appreciate you taking our fake modus operandi definition seriously, genius. Serious philological criticism was at the top of our Hope List when we started this blog. Good luck with your Classics degree.
lol
a quick sarcarm test should be required before one was able to read this blog. But I guess it only makes it funnier that some people just don’t get it…
Well, at least someone gets it. Props.
Tact is for people not witty enough to be sarcastic.
Perfectly Stated…..
oh cool, you finally put up a blog. another good reason to turn on my laptop when i got more important things to do
Gadfly: so glad you touched on what many of us, I’m sure, were already thinking. Clearly, The Hankster is not truly one of us. Perhaps he should have looked up the definition of the singular Greek/Latin parentage of “sarcasm” before venturing into those difficult to understand Latin phrases.
Huzzah to the new blog! Looking forward to more biting wit.
