Originally posted by Red NightBy your definition all sarcasm would be irony. I feel irony would be more like someone saying, "Hey, your dogs died" and come to find out the dog had color added to his fur.
He may have been being sarcastic, that didn't stop the statement from being ironic.
In this case, Kirks is simply stating a sarcastic coment.
The only way this IS irony is if you didn't understand it was sarcasm at all.

Nordlys explained this to me. She told me that she and most of the other forums user didn't really mean it when they said things. They were usually being sarcastic when they said things like "I like my women black and blue."
She said that my approach of saying what I mean and meaning what I say was quite unusual. Although, I would say you were a say what you mean kind of fellow, Huck!
