Strange Bedfellows on Facebook

For the most part, my friends on Facebook are like me – peace lovin' hippies that drive Subarus around elite Northeastern suburbs. However, there are a few oddballs.

Some guys from high school friended me this year. These are guys that I hardly knew, but I agree to be friends, because I do enjoy looking at pictures of some random kid's Bar Mitzvah in Jericho. 

A couple of these guys are into survival skills and guns. Most of their posts make me think that the CIA should be tracking their activities, but I did like this video of the flying fish in Indiana.

  1. Now I want a boat. I’d still like the CIA to stay out of domestic investigation, but that boat looks fun.

  2. Haven’t you seen the news? Long Island has a serial killer. They’ve already checked Ina Garten and her alibi was solid.

  3. The juxtapositions are the best thing about Facebook. I’ve got a bunch of lefties from a political campaign I worked for who write indictments of capitalism and post mainly about exploitation of workers and dangerous corporate influence on politics; they’re mixed in with people I knew (sort of) in high school, a crew of birthers who spend most of their time posting well-meaning but fraudulent Amber Alerts and spreading panic that Obama is outlawing the National Day of Prayer (actually, I think they spend most of their time playing Farmville, but I’ve hidden all that stuff). Then there are the people who just talk about lunch. I love it.

  4. From Amy Alkon:
    “Facebook is just the place to find answers to all of life’s big questions: Which Pokemon character are you? What color gummy bear? How long would you survive a zombie apocalypse? And then, are you one of the skanks my boyfriend cheated on me with? ”
