Topic: Brainless things people say on Facebook

[Bill D]

Just had the weirdest experience. Might be a sign but of what?

Friends ask: “What’s wrong?, What happened?” No explanation, no follow-up.

This is the same lady who posts about the ghost man who walks around her house. 

She once had a post along the lines of: “How does a door just close by itself ?  I’m the only one here!!”
I responded: “How about oiled hinges and a slight air pressure differential?”
Her response: “Ha Ha, you are funny.”

I missed the joke apparently.

I always took Spirit in the Sky to be satirical since Norman Greenbaum is a Jew. And the lyrics are so hippie that if the spirit in the sky isn't drug induced, I'd be shocked.

I thought the Jesus line was kind of funny too, but there is Rolling Stone quote out there from Greenbaum saying that he just really dug gospel music and he didn't see a market for Yaweh references.

I have some mates through playing music that seem to believe every conspiracy going. Before I hid their posts I was regularly treated to pictures of contrails with the simple subtitle "hmmmmm.....nothing to see here"

The chain-post stuff still does my tree in too, I don't know what's worse - the 'tracker' apps or the 'free gifts'.

Could be.  But you can't judge by the religion of the composer. The writer of God Bless America didn't believe in god.

Oh yeah. This one guy I know has taken pics of contrails and posted them with captions that say things like, "They're spraying us really heavy," or "I wonder what they're spraying us with today?"

Commenting on her Super Bowl halftime performance, somebody on FB just said, "Anybody notice Madonna invoking Baphomet?"

Apparently lots of conspiracy kooks are finding all kinds of Satanic and Illuminati imagery or meaning in her performance yesterday.

[Obsequious]

Madonna is THE QUEEN ILLUMINATI WHORE..if you can't see this you are one and the same with her. Depraved new age loving satanic slut lovers. NOW F*** OFF and DIE!! If you are my friend delete me NOW!

-Posted by some nut in response to a friend of mine who was laughing at the people who think Madonna's half-time show was a Satanic ritual. Immediately after posting the above statement, she de-friended him.

[Avarice]

Damn I might have actually watched the Super Bowl if Madonna had performed a Satanic Ritual.

Oh well.

Too bad this person doesn't believe in grammar.

Too bad the angels don't have anything better to do than follow around people who use Facebook. Screw those dying children in Africa!

I, too, seem to have missed most of the crazy friends. I somehow friended a Wiccan who would post crazy Wiccan stuff--and played Facebook games incessantly. I think I just hid her. I have weird hippie FB friends, but they don't really post anything brainless, just kind of generic good feelingish kind of posts that I have no interest in reading because I'm a crabby, cynical, humorless, soulless machine.

I've managed to de-bunk a couple of copy/pasta things that people had posted. The last time the person actually thanked me and said she'd think about it a bit more before just hitting the 'share' button.

My life has got so much better since I unsubscribed from everything my crazy uncle posts. Haven't annoyed him by de-friending him, he can still see my stuff but I don't have to put up with his free energy, conspiracy nonsense any more.

The guy has a sense of humor. I'm working on growing my hair as long as his.

As this is the guy who wrote "The Eggplant that ate Chicago", I would have to agree.
And ya, I would totally rock that kick-ass flow of his if I thought I could pull it off.

Good luck. At age 20 I had the same hair he had at age 20 (sans tache) but where mine went away, his kept growing.

I had Geddy Lee hair.
