Description

The Big Book of IronyJon Winokur defines and classifies irony and contrasts it with coincidence and cynicism, and other oft confused concepts that many think are ironic. He looks at the different forms irony can take, from an irony deficiency to visual irony to an understatement, using photographs and relate able examples from pop culture. * "Irony in Action" looks at irony in language, both verbal and visual, while "Bastions of Irony" and "Masters of Irony" look at

Jon Winokur defines and classifies irony and contrasts it with coincidence and cynicism, and other oft-confused concepts that many think are ironic. He looks at the different forms irony can take, from an irony deficiency to visual irony to an understatement, using photographs and relate-able examples from pop culture. * "Irony in Action" looks at irony in language, both verbal and visual, while "Bastions of Irony" and "Masters of Irony" look at institutions and individuals steeped in irony, though not always intentionally. PLUS:
* The Annals of Irony looks at irony, and its lack thereof, throughout history. A delight for anyone with a smart, dark sense of humor.

Poor durability
Style: Bundle
Stuffing was everywhere in minutes. The fabric is as thin as a carnival prize. I like the idea but it needs better execution.

Been an hour! Update days later

And he is still going at the brown monkey. I am shocked. Usually he's ripped his toy to shreds right now. LOL. Amazing! I'll update this review with the photo and the actual time to destruction. Update: Few days later, he killed it. Not sure where the stuffing came from inside the monkey, but we put it back together and loves to sleep with it. He's working on it again. I am just so amazed. I thought he was gonna finish it tonight, but he got tired since his job wasn't accomplished. LOL

Will NOT last more than a few days!
Style: Bundle, Style: Bundle
Fun for about 2 days then the tearing off of the legs, led to tearing it up to get the stuffing out. The ears and tail do not tear off and that was the first thing to go, then the destruction continued until it was nothing but a pile of fluff and sadness. Not durable at all, but they were happy to destroy it!

Good toy but snags carpet + difficult for small dog
Style: Bundle
My biggest complaint is the Velcro placement. When the arms and legs are detached, the rough (hook) side of the Velcro is on those pieces, so they stick to and snag the carpet. The soft (loop) side is attached to the body of the toy. I really wish this were reversed to prevent snagging. Also, my small 10 lb dog isn’t quite strong enough to detach the arms and legs when they’re fully secured. We have to fasten them loosely to make it manageable for her.
