Ken and all
I met Lonzo at the VV meeting in Carlisle last year . . . certainly a

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.
