facebook fail.

Posted on 18/11/2009

i’m a big fan of the status update on facebook. particularly the inappropriate status update.

what a stellar invention. it’s right up there with peanut butter and tomato on toast (don’t say gross if you haven’t tried it, seriously, it’s awesome!)

this was the first awesome status update i wrote about here:

i’ve since come across a bunch of others that rock!

it’s genius, take a generation of functioning illiterates and tell them to write about their lives in one sentence or less, you couldn’t make this shit up (unless you were on a lot of crack).


nice one darby. yay here’s to graduating in 2013. or not.

ouch.


it’s a little small so i’ll transcribe: ‘I never hear from you, so I am cuttin back on my facebook friends. Sorry, but you are busy anyway. Did John tell you that Sarah had been murdered. Hope your family is well.’

um. ok. tact not james’ strong point. i dont’ know about you, but that’s how i like my earth shattering news delivered! oh and hope your family is well.

christ on a flipping bike, scott – it’s ‘threw’ not ‘through’ buy a dictionary! or wait, maybe not being able to spell isn’t your biggest problem right now.

also i love how tom just comes right out with it!

i just heard today via @khayadlanga that ‘unfriend’ is oxford dictionary’s word of the year this year. here’s my official translation:

unfriend – v, what Scott will be doing to Tom tomorrow.

bet Nikki made lots of new friends after this one.

wahahahahahahaha she’s ‘Durnk’ – liberace and elvis can hear me laughing from here!
