Meandering Monday #35: Facebook Musings – and Rat Dog, Shut the *!##2!* up already
Why is it that on Facebook’s Bejeweled Blitz, four out of the top five on my friends’ list are female humor bloggers?
The four are Kathy of The Junk Drawer, Margaret of Nanny Goats in Panties, Quirky Loon of Musings of a Quirky Loon and Susan (aka ettarose) of Sanity on Edge?
The fifth, currently in second place, also is a humor blogger: Lincoln McCardle of Canucklehead.
Is this God’s idea of a joke? Or Mark Zuckerberg's?
You may think this is funny, oh, Facebook Creator, but I don't.
Facebook Pet Peeve #1: Friends who don't talk to you but talk to everyone else. Recently, I took one of those stupid quizzes: "How well do you know..." of an ex-friend of mine from elementary and high school. He answered everyone else around him but didn't say word one to me. I say, "ex-friend of mine," because I kicked him, profile and quizzes, to the curb.
Facebook Pet Peeve #2: Friends who live on the same street as you IRL but won't talk to you IRL. This one I have to blame on myself. I "friended" them, because I thought hey, maybe this will be a way for them to talk to me IRL. Nope. They still ignore me. As I said in an earlier blog post to my first Facebook casualty:
*********
Put the f---ing dog in the basket!

Oh, the rat dog: our neighbor has one that just won't shut up. It routinely invades not only my morning musings, but also mine and my wife's Sunday afternoon naps.
Thanks to Wikipedia, I learned that he/she really is a rat dog.
To wit:
To wit:
Cairn Terriers are ratters. In Ireland they would search the cairns (large rock piles) for rats and other rodents [emphasis mine].
And it's the same kind of dog as Toto (aka Terry). Hmmmm, now if only I can find a basket somewhere here...
...and believe me, I'll put a lock big enough on the basket that little f---er won't be able to escape either.

How well you know a friend is the dumbest game ever played. If the questions revolved around questions such as "who was the ugliest girl I slept with" or "what does he hide from his wife"...then you know it's your true buddy.
I've removed many a 'friend' over the course of my time of facebook.
Only last week I decided to get rid of more and removed around 70 people.
That lock - I think is a very creative ventilation pipe ;-)

yeah, the smaller the dog, the louder the yipping ... I'll take a large dog any day :)

That's why we have a cat.
Hey, next time add your blog url and it will link back to your blog. :)
I'm learning not to feel guilty about removing "friends."
As for the lock, yeah, it is definitely creative. It probably would tip my bike over, if I really used it to carry our local Toto in the basket, I'm thinking now.
There is a reason, though, those questions aren't on Facebook, with most people friends with their wives or significant others on Facebook too.

Hate Facebook. Like small dogs. But not yippy small dogs that ruin naps. If it continues like that, I'm sure seen the episode of Seinfeld and how Kramer deals with the yippy dog.

Ah, so you noticed. I did too. Hee hee. Mine was just a stroke of luck.
That game hates me.
I hate when the warning beeps start. I get all nervous and start nervously clicking!
It's a sickness...being addicted to that game!
I'm horrible at remembering episodes of anything except maybe Cheers or M*A*S*H but my wife will remind me lately about that. :)
Actually that's how I got one of my highest scores too, but still not high enough to beat you five. :(
Sometimes I have to tell myself not to take Facebook too seriously. It's just a tool but I have noticed many ineffective tool users out there. I think that people should respond to your comment on their status, more often than not. Hey, everyone's busy, right?
Rat dogs are a pain. They always yap!
Recent blog:=- Am I Evolving or Revolving, or Maybe Just Twisted?
I'm shipping you my 9mm for that Rat dog. It's fully loaded and will do the trick nicely. Just send it back when you're done. Bwahahahahahaha.
Have a terrific day. :)

Ooooooh, thank you.
I have yet to catch up on your blog post (will do here shortly) but I have to say you're definitely twisted, from what I've seen on your blog. ;)
Forgive me, I am just now finding out that my beloved childhood cairn terrier was a rat dog. She was the BEST. She NEVER barked. I don't know what bejeweled is... I am too afraid to open all those request things in the right corner - I was a fb mobster for 4 hours and forgot to make dinner.

More power to you if you can play bejeweled at all..It has something against me,
You seem to have a lot of pent up anger. Maybe you need therapy. Or . . . drugs. . . or . . . to pull the stick out of your butt.
Dang. :-)

You might be interested to know that I am the TOP Bejeweled champion, but I choose not to brag, so it doesn't get published on FB. Really!

I resent people who won't talk to me. IRL or online. Mean people are not any fun at all.
Recent blog:=- It’s Just One Thing After Another
It's funny, the bigger my list of facebook friends gets, the fewer conversations I have. I fading on facebook.
Recent blog:=- I Need a Sine
I want more facebook friends so throw me your discarded ones. ;o)
Recent blog:=- Apparently spiders and ants have had the same Sensei in the ancient art of THE NINJA (said in reverent whisper).
I notice Bejeweled is down. I think I broke it.

Oh, I gave up Mafia Wars real quick. I have enough FB addictions to keep track of. :)
It has something against me too.
My wife, not so much, but she won't get sucked in on FB. I wish she would, though, because she could take the aforementioned female humor bloggers to task! :)
Dang! is right.
Uh huh. Sure.
I Was The Bejeweled Blitz Top Dog So You Don't Have To Be?
Thanks, but no thanks. ;)
Mean people suck.
I just drop quick inane comments like here. Conversations, no? You're right. If you want to talk about it more, let me know. ;)
You can have them. You might spammed a lot though. Hope you don't mind a lot of Spam-A-Lot (ouch!).
Yeah, I think you did too.

Want to leave a long, rambling diatribe on the state of world affairs? Have at it...somewhere else. I'm the unfinished rambler here. But feel free to leave your aphorisms, especially encomiums, panegyrics to the author. Feel free to consult a thesaurus like I did.
