Carl’s a local watering hole, has old Trivial Pursuit cards on the table to distract you while you are waiting for your orders. This turned out to be more entertaining than it had any right to be, thanks to a great answer from my lovely wife.
Q: In the Arts: In 1948 The Miss America pageant banned what kind of acts?
Deb (without any delay): ping-pong ball
correct answer: animal acts
Greenbean just tore into a can of Turducken cat food.
It was either that, or the can of California Roll.
Still smells like cat food though.
A few years ago, it was Friendster… now in the last two weeks, I’ve got a dozen new connections on LinkedIn and Facebook (I think/hope my friends have enough good taste to have skipped the myspace phase.)
I mostly play along. In the years since I created my profile I really haven’t reaped any value from Friendster (I’m not looking to “hook up” which I’d guess was 99% of the value.) I suppose the added event planning aspects of Facebook might actually be useful, we’ll see. It’s sadly obvious that I’m a bit older than their real target demographic. It’s not going to reach critical mass among my curmudgeonly friends. At least we had pointy lawn darts and realistic toy guns.
I’m not sure what is causing me to be so wary lately. Every time I think of something I’d like to post, I can think of at least one reason why I shouldn’t.
Can’t post about work, because people from work will read it, probably not to my advantage.
Can’t post about family, who knows who will read it, probably not to my advantage.
Can’t post about my political/religions views, who knows who will read it, probably not to my advantage.
Can’t post about any shenanigans I might be up to, yada, yada…
Going password protected is just a pain in the ass. I only read blogs via my RSS reader (Google Reader) and won’t put up with reading password protected blogs.
So… call me if you want to hear the good stuff.
