It's amazing what you can buy on eBay.

Someone on FB tried to tell me my name was on a list of winners for the FB random profile lottery (no such thing), I already read about that scam. *blocked*

May I ask what possessed you to “friend” him/her in the first place? I use Farcebook to look but don’t have followers.

[Slings and Arrows]

Damn, that one wasn’t even trying.

[Slings and Arrows]

I use Facebelch to, among other things, get my music in the public eye. More “friends” = more potential listeners. (I also screen posts to my timeline, and unfriend people if they get creepy/scammy/etc.)

[rockrr]

OK - totally understand. I have a music project but it is in the name of the project (separate account) and kept strictly to the project.

That Rocks!

I once used the story line of Richard Rahl from David Gemmel’s Sword of Truth series.

They unfriended me when I described killing my fater, Darken Rahl, and sentencing my foster brother to death by beheading.

So as a professional monster hunter, how do you dispose of a dybbuk?

[Slings and Arrows]

If things ever really start taking off I’ll start a professional page, but at the moment there’s not much point. In the meantime, I’m trying to build a rep as a funny guy and have a good time doing it.

[Nifster]

I don’t get it...why would you friend someone on Facebook who you have NO idea who it is???

You may hate scammers but you walked right into this one

[Nifster]

The only ‘friends’ I have on Facebook are actually my friends. Folks I have known for years but we live in different states.

I don't - there's no carcass, so there's no bounty. I'd probably refer that one to Chabad.

See post #6.

That Rocks!

Thanks!

Person probably had a lot of cat photos on their profile.

You misspelled "enormous knockers."

[rockrr]

Why do I get the impression that I’ve stumbled into the middle of a private joke? ;’)

[Salamander]

The joke creeps in on little cat feet...

My favorite.
