David Denby seems like an okay guy: early onset dementia is no disgrace.

(It's a J-O-K-E, Dave!)

Mr. (?) Denby

[Cicero]

Actually, I suspect that he’s right. But it was too boring to read all the way through. It needed to be a bit more snarky, probably.

I have seen the word “Snark” used recently to describe things I could not connect it with.

I always thought it was a Linux application:

Snark is a client for downloading and sharing files distributed with the BitTorrent protocol. It is mainly used for exploring the BitTorrent protocol and experimenting with the the GNU Compiler for Java (gcj). But it can also be used as a regular BitTorrent Client.

Is posting a picture of Catherine Zeta Jones in response to any article mentioning Maureen Dowd snarky?

Well, if it is I don't ever want the world to be snark-free.

Denby’s book would’ve sold better had he used the title, “Lies, Damned Lies, and Snarks”...

[Flycatcher]

I once saw someone wearing a T-shirt that read: Mean People Suck

I'm thinking it was David Denby.

If that ain’t being snarky, I don’t wanna be me...

I see that I screwed up the date of this article: it should be “28 Dec 08”...

[Tribune7]

Maureen Dowd
Who: Washington columnist for the New York Times.
The Accusation: “Despite all of her larks and inventions, she’s essentially sour and without hope … she’s the most gifted writer of snark in the country.”

Now, that is a seriously snarky dig at Mo.

Those Tuxers don’t have no respect for language...

[Prospero]

I appreciated bringing this fine writing from the late New York Times to the attention of Freepers, everywhere. Once I started reading it, I couldn't stop.

A fine piece of writing about another writer's sad attitude (yelling from the porch) toward as ancient an American pass-time as Free Speech. It was Dead On, and I don't mean arrival. - Thanks.

Snark Attack!

Is “The Soup” snarky? It’s so good matured and its targets are so snarkable that I’m not sure.

“The Soup” is definitely up there on the snark-o-meter...

[snarks_when_bored]

Sometimes a man person has to snark what a man person has to snark.

[DManA]

Like slander, isn’t the truth a defense against the charge of snark? That would mean that Ann Coulter is not snarky.

And do you accept the role as arbiter of snark?

[snarks_when_bored]

Now, that is a seriously snarky dig at Mo.

As ye snark, so shall ye be snarked.

And do you accept the role as arbiter of snark?

Snark-arbiter...hmmm...yeah, that's the ticket!
