EDSBS: NOW EVEN LESS FOCUSED AND SOCIAL

PrintWe now point you to two points of semi-interest for the EDSBS community:
Twitterriffic: There's a Twitter feed now for those who find sentences bothersome. Twitter is fun for fragmentary thoughts, but on a more practical level it's great for covering events, especially when you see things like "Woman #37 crying on cell phone in Vegas." It's like reading someone's notebook online as it's written, which is both enlightening and, yes, frightening at times.
Facebook Yes, the odd Anglo-Saxon name is on the Facebook type thingy, as well. Don't send us movie quizzes, because our tastes are incompatible with yours unless you have bad taste in films. And if you do, you'll both refrain from sending us the quizzes, and appreciate this fine clip of American film acting.

I had the facebook thing in college, but after being mauled by a zombie, judo chopped by a ninja and swashbuckled by a Pirate i stopped looking on it.
When it says you’ve been made out w/ by a supermodel I’ll think about coming back.

Among the other invitations for apps I’ve received this week – one from my brother’s girlfriend, who wants to see what kind of Sex and the City character I am, and another from one of my dude friends, asking what’s my favorite kama sutra position. Yeah.
As for sex, I prefer the Air Guitar. It’s about physically impossible to pull off, but when you do…oh man.

Spencer Hall has a new friend request. At least I hope I got the right Spencer Hall.

the only spencer hall from hot lanta happens to be a skinny, african…. not necessarily the swindle…

Somehow, I’ve only managed to get about 5 of those useless invitations, in totality. Perhaps this could be correlated to my general lack of befriending EVERY HUMAN I EVER MET, but maybe not.

Your twitter quote of the day comes from benjiegillam of Southhampton, VA:
“Urgh”
Thank you internets.

WTF is the International Rescue Committee?
Denim bucket hat… what to do with your shorts when they don’t fit any longer.

international rescue committee. i’d guess it have something with hippies, excessive pit hair, and “vote nader” bumperstickers.

I’ve finally reached the line at which I go from a somewhat hip, pop-savvy young adult to crusty old man who “doesn’t get it.” That line is Facebook. I’ve had a Facebook account for 3 months and it still scares me.
No, I don’t want to poke you. Stop writing on my wall…what wall?
