  Ken and all

  I met Lonzo at the VV meeting in Carlisle last year . . . certainly a
  guy I
  look up to, in more ways than one.
  Allen, you're right, Americans don't understand irony.

Some don't seem to understand emoticons either.    :)

BTW, Irony:

        The use of words to express something different from and often
        opposite to their literal meaning.
        An expression or utterance marked by a deliberate contrast
        between apparent and intended meaning.
        A literary style employing such contrasts for humorous or
        rhetorical effect. See Synonyms at wit1.
        Incongruity between what might be expected and what actually
        occurs: Hyde noted the irony of Ireland's copying the nation she
        most hated (Richard Kain).
        An occurrence, result, or circumstance notable for such
        incongruity. See Usage Note at ironic.
