But cake is ironic?
For those of you cribbing for Mrs. Williams' 6th grade English, a few examples of what's ironic:
The fact that Alanis Morissette's song Ironic is not ironic... is ironic.
The fact that Gmail has a spell-check function, which does not recognize the word "internet"... is ironic.
(A rare Red Herring Today to Google, who should bloody well know better.)
In Good Will Hunting, Robin Williams' character offers to buy Prof. Lambeau a drink at an upcoming reunion, and Lambeau retorts that drinks are free at such events. Williams responds, "I was being ironical."
By the way, if you for some reason (don't like horsey-faced women? Sheryl Crow will be angry) did not click on that Alanis link above, I'd really recommend reconsidering. Here's a consolation click.
Don't thank me now, with cake. Thank me later.
