GKCPC on FaceBook

[kcghost]

Well, ir was an arduous journey but the GKCPC finally has a Facebook presence. FB must be the most awkward, counter intuitive piece of software I have ever seen. And to make it worse, every teeny bopper in America knows how to use the thing. Anybody got any advice on how to use that thing??

You're supposed to tell everyone ...
1. What you had for breakfast

2. When you arrive and leave the gym

3. That you are at the supermarket and you're not sure if you bought the right ratio of toilet paper to food.

4. Post mini rants that have you wearing your political badge on your sleeve

5. Post fake celebrity deaths

6. Post real news with the wrong information

7. Say "Good Night Facebook Peeps" right before you go to bed.

Dan, I sent you an email with a more serious answer. I hope it helps.

I think Kevin pretty much covered it, though he failed to mention that you also have to tell people when you're brushing your teeth, and whether or not the toothpaste fell into the sink.
I've been on FB for a while, and it has become increasingly useless as they have altered "features" and added new ones. It's very nearly to the point where it will become a "write only" medium. It's already pretty much like talking to oneself most of the time, which I can do easily enough without the need for electronic assistance.
FaceBook: A great way to use modern technology to give the impression that you're keeping in contact with hundreds of people you don't really know while ignoring the ones you do know who are sitting next to you.

By the way, your written words above are much too intelligent for Facebook now. No one uses words like "arduous" and "counter intuitive" online unless you're in some engineer's forum. I have taken the liberty to translate it into Facebook-ese. So here we go:

Adam, it's a little scary how well you accomplished your translation.

Adam, it's a little scary how well you accomplished your translation.

I wish I could make some sort of translator online so if you input things, it would spit out internet slang. I would retire in Maui if I could put that together.
By the way, I'm not on Facebook because it's my last act of rebellion. Plus who wants to talk to people from high school, seriously

 

[admin]

LMAO Adam!

Jesus Christ, who are you people friends with?! (I don't feel like looking up the code for the interobang, so deal.)
I use FB to continually make my friends and family uncomfortable. Today I posted a goatse reference. (Fair warning, if you don't know what it is, don't google it.) I also keep in touch with people who are across the states and world from me and to post funny and adorable pictures. Also today I gave away a mattress to a friend and I'm trying to find someone to give me $500 for a truly awesome refrigerator.
Just like anything else, it's a tool that can be used for great good or great evil.

+1 cyndi...you said what i want to say

 

[chops]

Ok Cyndi, you said not to Google it so I immediately did. I am glad the first few links that came up were only the definition.
I deleted my FB account last year and never looked back. I have felt better each day since.

 

[kcghost]

Kevin, Thanks for info. I am sure it will help.
Adam, You should receive a Novel Prize for that translation.
Cyndi, I think we are getting to the heart of the issue. My hot middle daughter, who is not the sharpest knife in the drawer, can play Facebook like Menuhin played a violin. Like the ability to shop there has to be something genetic going on here.

 

[cyndi]

Goatse is always great fun to rile up my aunts on my dad's side. They love to post this image (it's safe) and say that God is pouring out his blessings from the sky. Last time I pointed out that it was a dirty joke from the asshole of the internet and provided SFW proof I got called a condescending bitch, which was oh so very Christian of them. :D
Facebook: Now you no longer have to wait for a family holiday to troll your relatives!

 

[windriver]

Hey Kevin sorry i've not called you yet, I will for sure this coming week. Looks like I'll be able to make Chicago will more than likely see you there.

 

[maineyachtie]

As a way of encouraging people to leave Facebook let's start a thread where people can post their inane self commentary. It will be a sort of Facebook methadone clinic where people can slowly withdraw. Hopefully members will post less and less drivel each day and then BE CURED!

I would advise to stay away, I am 19 and hate the thing.
