I occasionally deal with the question of how to determine whether a text is ironic or not. My general position is that while one can usually figure it out, in cases where there is dispute, the dispute cannot be solved. For instance, here, even with John's clarification, I still don't know what he finds funny and thus find the ironic reading--an incorrect one, no doubt,--the more suitable one.

I object to the evaluation of Mark's pun, by the way, which is surely at least mediocre and thus a couple of notches higher than the current standard around here.

Morbier is dull as dishwater, even in France.

Jonathan, Better perhaps than a cheese that knocks one's socks off while paired with two luscious Clos Vougeots.

well, now that I've learned that Délice de Pommard is available in the states, this is the only cheese I'd pair with red burg.

Poncelet, a great cheese shop here in Spain, carries Mons, and I am rarelly moved by them. They always seem very raw, lacking proper affinage; something that does not happen with the cheeses they carry from the UK, Spain Italy or Switzerland
