Glad that my lack of a love life brings joy to someone!

[Gale]

[franznietzsche]

Me neither. Not that I'm complaining.

 

[Evo]

Me neither. Not that I'm complaining.

Well, it's different for you..., I mean, you know. Gale??

[franznietzsche]

Can one poke oneself?

Apparently.

 

[Greg Bernhardt]

Apparently.

Not possible. I have just tried to poke myself and failed. I looked all over and could not find anywhere to poke.

 

[TheStatutoryApe]

Ummmmmm... no I'm not going to say it.

 

[franznietzsche]

Not possible. I have just tried to poke myself and failed. I looked all over and could not find anywhere to poke.

[Evo]

Ah, geeze, you know us older folk are incontinent.

 

[franznietzsche]

[dduardo]

Who's Ben from Jacksonville? Is that you FUNKER?

[[Quadratic]]

Ah come now E, you know I was just joking. Seriously though, if you don't know what facebook is by now, you would probably feel strange using it. It would be like a 40 year old guy at a college bar trying to pick up girls.

i have myspace but the site is so buggy. it asks you for your password only about 30 times a day; i read it's a javascript worm. those two site owners made a lot of money on that site and they branched off to start other businesses rather than focus on making their site better and more secure.

Given the average myspace page, so are dung beetles.

Hmm, there was an article about Facebook in our school newspaper today. Our school is now allowing access to Facebook from the local computers again. I guess they blocked facebook.com because the school felt that the security on facebook.com was not up to par, but I guess it is now fixed, or at least sufficient.
Here is the article if anyone is interested:
