And I'll tell y'all, it is just as cool as the other side of the pillow!
Just a few minutes after becoming a member of The Facebook, the invitations started pouring in from folks to be their "friend" on The Facebook. Now...how cool is that? I got invites from folks I hadn't talked to in years. It was so WAY COOL to look at how old and ugly they've gotten...not like me, of course.
(Let me give you a little tip on The Facebook. Make sure that your e-mail box will handle PLENTY of e-mails. It was truly overwhelming, and humbling.)
So then, a day or two later I started getting invitations to be the friends of other folks. Some of them I kinda remember...some not nearly so much as "kinda." But you know...you don't want to hurt anybody's feelings, so you click on the dealie that says "Heck Yeah!"
So, all of a sudden, I have something like 92 "friends" on The Facebook. Truth is, about 5 of them were my "friends" already. The others are folks that I just kinda know. But now we are REALLY, REALLY FRIENDS! Know how I know? Because I am informed of everything they are thinking about, and every move that they make during the day. Plus, I get to take all kinds of tests that my"friends" feel are VERY important for me to take.
For instance, I have got no less than 7 "challenges" to take The Facebook IQ Test. I have tried it 7 times now, and I'll tell y'all, this is not for the faint of brainpower. I mean, IT IS TOUGH! Turns out that I am WAY smarter than I figured. And I have gotten about 5 "test challenges" to find out how well I know my hometown, Bossier City, LA.
Even though I was really busy, I finally decided to take the "How Well Do You Know Bossier City" quiz. I decided that I would screw around and purposely answer EVERY question wrong.
It's WAY cool! Even though I answered EVERY question wrong, I still qualify as a "Townie." The Facebook tells me that I definitely live in Bossier City, and people ask me for directions. Now...how cool is that?
It took me a while to get the hang of The Facebook. I stumbled around the linkie deals, and probably signed up for some junk I don't want...but it is WAY cool!
After I figured out the whole deal, I discovered how WAY cool it is to let your "friends" know what's going on in your life. Y'all really all ought to get a spot on The Facebook. Let me show you what my entries were today...again, it's REALLY, REALLY, WAY cool...and I can tell all of my 92 "friends" (oh wait...I just heard the e-mail box click in...could be another "friend") just exactly what they REALLY need to know.
ANDY woke up at 4:30 am...can't sleep much later than that. I had a rough night, what with pondering the discovery of fire and all.
ANDY had to take a dump at 4:32 am.
ANDY went back to bed after taking a dump at 4:33 am (I'm a quick dumper)
ANDY finally dragged himself out of bed at 4:45.
ANDY fed Sadie at 6:00 am. She was hungry, and almost broke down the back door letting me know. LOL...she's so stinkin' cute! LOL
ANDY needs to tell y'all that I've got to work, so I probably won't be back on The Facebook until later, at 8:47 am.
ANDY had to quit working for a minute to go tinkle, at 10:42 am.
ANDY had to tinkle again at 1:39 pm.
ANDY got finished with work about 2 this afternoon. Man, it was hot and muggy today. I usually tinkle more than this, but hey...it's hot and muggy. LOL...I mean...LOL!
ANDY just fed Sadie again at 4:30 pm on the dot. Sadie won't eat if it's not exactly at 4:30...LOL!
ANDY told The Mrs. that he was going to be the next Food Network Star, and cooked up a new recipe I've never tried, at 5:23 pm. See...it's fried burritos and Great Value macaroni & cheese. Doesn't that look just sinful???? LOL!!!!
ANDY 's tummy is full of his new recipe. Yummy!!! I mean Yummy! at 6:22 pm.
ANDY is glad that Sadie likes table scraps, because nobody else appreciates his cooking! at 7:02 pm.
You see? The Facebook is a fabulous place to hang out...now all 93 (no, now it's up to 95 just while I'm telling y'all about it) of my friends on The Facebook can calculate my bowel movements, urination, victories, failures, and know deep in their hearts just how much I love each and every one.
Give it a try. Sign up for The Facebook tonight...and be sure when you "Add a Friend," that you don't leave me out...tomorrow is gonna be more interesting than today, I guarantee...
Andy, I started playing this App (hey look I can speak facebook too) called Farm Town on facebook and I hardly have time to get anything done because I'm constantly worrying about my chickens and my wheat crop. You'll have to try it out. Welcome to the book, dude.
ReplyDeleteAndy,
ReplyDeleteReally man, you may have hit real paydirt and not even realized it! Why don't you put a Dumpometer on your blog!? Really, that way we could all keep up with things.
Besides, you would start a trend. Does the Guinness Book have a record for dumps in a year? A month? You could get the ball rolling on this.
Now, while there is a bit of mirth in my post, I'm deadly serious! No S__t!
Sorry Walt, my Dumpometer is on The Facebook. You will have to enlist on The Facebook to keep track. (See, I'm trying to entice more "friends" on my The Facebook account.)
ReplyDeleteI do not know if Guinness has a record for most dumps. But I should look into it. I have the healthiest bow....oh, never mind...
I'll just tell all my 95 "friends" on The Facebook. I'm sure they will be just "thrilled" to know.
Staci, thanks for the big "Howdy" to the book. 'Preciate it!
ReplyDeleteI can't barely wait to give the ap of FarmTown the ol' college try!
I mean, everything else on The Facebook is just so WAY cool! I think I'm gonna give it a whirl tonight, then I'll challenge all my "friends." They're gonna be real excited, too...I just can't barely wait...
Dang...I just love The Facebook!
LOL, I too (as you know) am on Facebook... Although my friend invitations stopped at around a dozen or so... much like IRL.
ReplyDeleteThere's some remotely interesting stuff on Facebook. Mostly it's just another way to waste time on the Internet...
Wow--that's nearly as cool, or perhaps cooler, than Twitter.
ReplyDeleteI have over 900 friends I have never met. I have people trying to sell me gold. It's great, I know what EVERYONE in the universe is doing!
Mr. Mayor, Bwahahahahahaha! I thought about The Twitter, but I spend too much time on the world wide computer as it is.
ReplyDeleteBTW, I have some gold I'd like to unload...if you have a minute, drop me 4, or 500 links to your friends would ya'? Funny man!
