Green Font

If you use a green font but also announce that the post is sarcasm does that create a double negative or create a tear in the time-space continuum or something?

    I see several people post using green font. I am guessing, being a nube, that it has some sort of significance.

    Anyone care to let me in on the secret?

    Standard print in green font is for straight people. Green font in italics is for gays.

    When did italics become part of the equation?

    Nevermind, Rat just answered it for me. [:D]

    Considering there are people here with 10,000+ I figure I'm still pretty noob. I think you graduate from noob once everyone feels comfortable enough with you to crack jokes at your expense. [;)]

    A high post count has nothing to do with FNG status, it's just a symptom of oral diarrhea and too much free time. [;)]

    since the informal decision was made to institute a sarcasm font, it has always been green italics. it doesnt matter what shade of green, just that its green italics.

    recently, people have started dropping the italics and nobody seems to mind.

    as the creator of the sarcasm font on this forum, I thank you for paying attention![:)]
    Some will die in hot pursuit
    And fiery auto crashes
    Some will die in hot pursuit
    While sifting through my ashes
    Some will fall in love with life
    And drink it from a fountain
    That is pouring like an avalanche
    Coming down the mountain
