While it's a little shocking you missed the sarcasm of the original post, it's even more so that you still miss it after it was repeatedly pointed out in the replies.

It's early in Vegas. You might need a little more sleep...

CB has filled with zoobs this week. Not surprising but a PITA nonetheless.

i didn't bother reading the replies as sarcasm requires a degree of skill. You either clue the reader with tone of voice, or certain skilled word selection. Clue me in on the skilled word selection that demonstrated the poster's acumen in sardonic wit.

The last sentence should have clued you in he was trolling, the sarcasm was pretty lame though.

Never said it was funny, ironic, or well-worded--just obviously sarcastic.

It's harder to tell on a message board. Even harder if you go in with the assumption that all CBers are persecution complex-ridden, blue-goggled idiots. You find what you want, and you did.
