As a gun owning american and member of the NRA, how in the holy hell did you manage to cut your forehead with a firearm?

I think I was lining up the sight thing really close to my eye like a telescope, so when it backfired it hit me in the face. I was pretty drunk and about 19.

the fact that the song isn't actually ironic is in itself irony.
--------------------
And hence the absolute brilliance of the song.

I probably would've given this a 0 but for this comment which was brilliant
"I totally agree with you about the Alanis Morissette song- it would be ironic if she was killed by a dictionary open on the correct definition of irony... Like "when it rains on your wedding day..." that's not irony- that's just bad luck. If you were a graduate meterologist and you had planned to get married in an all paper costume because you had forecast sunshine, and had thrown away your umbrellas, and written a book saying it will never rain again, and then finally got married on the proceeds of that book, and then were jilted at the altar because of your inability to forecast the rain. That would be ironic. "

"The X-Files" jumped the shark when they got rid of David Duchovny and the ever so hot
Jillian Anderson, and they had "Doggett" and the other agent. Maybe it jumped when they made the
full length movie.

Personally, I think the phrase "jumping the shark" has jumped the shark.
------------------------------
If I ever use that stupid phrase, I wish to be shot, dismembered, and fed to the fucking sharks, immediately.

Funny how you define the phrase then fail miserably to use it correctly. None of these things jumped the shark, they just suck now. For instance; for Maddox to Jump, he would have to make more crappy childrens' artwork or just repost it.
For other public failings see "Ironic" by Alanis Morissette: not one thing in that song is ironic, all the stories are just bummers. "free ride, when you've already paid" That just sucks.
For real irony, note how I am slamming you while I can correctly reference an Alanis Morissette song as well as spell her name right, thus making me a fag.
So, who really sucks here?

That post jumped the shark when you talked about picture phones.
Why? Because jumping the shark refers to an actual event that started, or at least epitomises, something's decline.
Your examples from picture phones onwards are just things that slowly got shit over time.
Like this review rightcha.

My life jumped the shark when I decided to let an old friend from high school move in with me. It's so pathetic when an established show brings back an old character that nobody liked in the first place in an attempt to change direction....

I jumped the shark in my first fuckin' post, man. I've quit this site, been banned, and I actually died before (around episode 18), but no one paid attention back there. Check out my new shit though, it's going in a cool direction.
And I have to say that this post was really cool. Good job--but give Maddox a break.
