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.

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

Into survival skills? In Jericho? LOL! Because Long Island is so dangerous.

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

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.

The fish video’s like a tall tale come to life.

Damned invasive species. Numerous reports of injuries when those things hit boaters. But they are yummy!
Eat! More! Carp!

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? ”
