Sarcasm is a good people tester. People who outright hate sarcasm are suspect.

Hey, GV. Post some more Vivian Stanshall or Mr. Slater's Parrot gets it.

I suggest "The Strain".

Sarcasm is a myth .... like drunk Irishmen or Lindsay Lohan.

On a somewhat related note, I was surprised to learn the proper definition of sarcasm which is along the lines of "a sharp, bitter, or cutting expression or remark; a bitter jibe or taunt", usually conveyed through irony or understatement." Lately it's used predominately as a synonym for irony.

I think that's actually a pretty useful word and since then I've made a resolution to be less sarcastic when sharpening my verbal irony skills. Or saying-of-things-that-can-have-a-meaning-other-than-the-literal-words... there's a term for that category of speech that has completely slipped my mind right now.

Sarcasm is one of my super powers. It is suppressed by the yellow Kryptonite of intelligence. Fortunately there is little of that to be found.

A hundred million piggies couldn't hold me back.

I haven't worn mascara since I used to go clubbing when I was in my early twenties. A lot has changed with the product that's available; they've got all kinds of technology now that I don't fully understand. Watch a lot of Rizzoli & Isles, and you'll see the commercials.
