in the world of the carp and the crappy, where crap is relegated to the lazy vocabulary pile where it belongs, with all the other little bugger words.

crappy green team wins today. this is an example of misnomer, see: the team is not crappy, and the irony is that we will continue to win, no matter what the elite soccer snobs have to say about us. we get knocked down, but we get up again, ain't nothing gonna keep us down.

so, that's misnomer and irony. we move on now to oxymoron: brigadoon director. oxymoron is a combination of two words, used together in a way that causes them to appear to express a truth, when in truth, they express a mistruth. in this case, the heart of the oxymoron is that the brigadoon director doesn't direct anything or anyone. she allows events & others to direct her. for this reason, mini-me & i have been denied reentry to brigadoon again this year. i say, "dear director, we have limited availability, and can come during this window." she says, "too bad. we are full then. you can come this other time." no... see... that's the point, we cannot come during another time. based on this exchange, one would conclude that ol' brigadoon would be overflowing with helpity-help-helpers. i would bet money that it is not, because the oxymoron of the brigadoon director who does not direct.

must go now & do the laundry. won't that be fun! [note the sarcasm: saying the opposite of what is true, in an exaggerated & joking way that makes it clear that the opposite of what is said is true.]
