I’m posting this to try to spread the word. My friend Mo came up with this technology, and it comes in handy, if all parties involved know about Sarcks. Enjoy, and use wisely.
Sarcks were invented February 11th, 2006 6:10 am MST in Boulder, CO by Moses Goldstein, *(billionaire inventor)*
We already have “quotations” . . . we have (parentheses). . . and now,
*(sarcasm)* in sarcks” Sarcks”, we’ll say, “You know, sarcasm marks…*(duh)*”

Make sure you spell it right- I invented them, so I get to choose their spelling. -Just be glad I’m not calling them “Moses marks”, or “Goldstein sarcasm delineation marks”. Ever since I began using e-mail I have had trouble getting my sarcastic wit across to others. *(and, luckily, never ever gotten in trouble as a result)*. Email lacks the tone of voice and subtle inflections that let people know you’re kidding. I know, there’s theat the end of a phrase, but where exactly does that sarcastic tone start? Now there is a solution….SARCKS!
Sarcks will allow us to clarify our bumper stickers and smart ass t-shirts for those who need a little nudge. For example:
*(nice hat)*
*(my president can kick your president’s ass)*
*(thanks for looking at my chest and not my eyes)*
*(wow, those jeans DO make you look taller, slimmer, and younger, where can I buy a pair!)*
And the one I am really looking forward to… *(I know Mo)*Surely someone will claim to have invented the sarcks. That person may be really excited about getting you to invest in their new gimmick whatever it is. That person is a liar. You know first hand that your friend Mo Goldstein *(billionaire inventor)* invented them. All he expects in return is to live on in history as inventor of the SARCKS (by the way, they must be plural, *(or you will have uncontained sarcasm which will envelop the entire handwritten and typed universe!)*).
Over the next few days, some of you will forward this to others, and from them to others, etc. Eventually, sarcks will be used in every written language, and you will be able to say, “I know the guy who invented those, you know, *(and he’s a freakin’ bazillionaire now!)*”.
Someone invented the honey bear (right, Arlo?), the paper clip, the safety pin, etc… My invention, however, is free! please feel free to use sarcks anytime you wish! Don’t worry, NO bad luck will befall you if you just delete this junk. However, you won’t be able to say you helped forward the efficiency, humor and sarcasm of global written communication, now will you?
Thanks for reading. I hope, if nothing else I gave you a laugh. *(yeah, right- like you even made it this far!)*
With love… Mo Goldstein,
*(billionaire inventor)*,
CMT, energyMOnkey, EJ, musician, sculptor, painter, furniture maker, dancer, etcPS if you can translate this to ANY language other than the one it’s written in, please do so. For the sake of all the sarcastic people of the planet. Thanks. *(your translator check is in the mail)*
